A discreet and high-performance installation, tailored to the needs of a modern condo in Pierrefonds
At AirGreen, we know that every HVAC installation project requires a custom approach, especially when it comes to optimizing the comfort of a condo while preserving its interior aesthetics. That’s exactly what we accomplished with the installation of a SHARP ZU1 12000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a residential apartment located in Pierrefonds, a peaceful neighborhood in the west end of Montréal.
This installation perfectly illustrates our commitment to neat, silent, and highly technological work, while ensuring exceptional energy performance, even during the coldest months of winter.
Choosing the SHARP ZU1 model: cutting-edge technology in the service of well-being
Why did we recommend the SHARP ZU1 12000 BTU?
The choice of a SHARP ZU1 wall-mounted heat pump for this condo was obvious thanks to several key features of the model:
-
Cooling capacity: 12,000 BTU/h, ideal for medium-sized rooms.
-
Heating capacity down to -27°C: thanks to SHARP's “extreme cold certified” technology, the ZU1 offers consistent performance even in the cold Quebec winters.
-
Eco-friendly R32 refrigerant: higher energy efficiency, reducing electricity consumption by up to 10% compared to systems using R-410A.
-
SEER rating: 21, ensuring excellent cooling efficiency.
-
HSPF rating: 12.5 (IV), optimal energy performance in heating mode.
-
Patented Plasmacluster technology: purifies the air, eliminates viruses, mold, allergens, and odors.
Technical details of the installation in the Pierrefonds condo
Adapting to the layout of the property
The main challenge in this project was to preserve the interior design of the condo while ensuring a safe and high-performing installation. Here are the key details:
-
Installation wall: the heat pump was installed on a load-bearing wall next to a large patio door, allowing for optimal air distribution throughout the main living space.
-
Discreet ductwork: the refrigerant and electrical lines were neatly hidden using a flexible white conduit that matches the wall color.
-
Gravity drainage: a natural slope was maintained to ensure proper condensation drainage.
-
Outdoor unit access: the outdoor unit was installed on a protected rear balcony, minimizing noise and vibration inside the home.
Tangible benefits for the client
The condo owner was looking for a quiet, discreet, and efficient system to replace an outdated portable air conditioner. Here are the immediate benefits experienced:
-
Quiet operation: with an indoor noise level as low as 23 dB, the unit is virtually silent, even at full power.
-
Rapid comfort: thanks to Inverter technology, the desired temperature is reached in half the time of a traditional system.
-
Purified air quality: Plasmacluster technology provides continuous purification of indoor air, essential for individuals with sensitivities or allergies.
-
Notable energy savings: the client is already noticing a significant reduction in electricity bills, especially in heating mode during the winter.
