At AirGreen, we recently had the privilege of installing the Sharp ZU1 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in the heart of Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie. Known for its vibrant neighborhoods and stunning architecture, this installation combined cutting-edge HVAC technology with energy efficiency, bringing unparalleled comfort to our client’s home. What makes this installation special? Let’s take a closer look at the Sharp ZU1, a top-of-the-line heat pump that stands out for its advanced features and reliability.
A Greener Solution for Modern Homes
The Sharp ZU1 is a marvel in the HVAC industry, introducing the eco-friendly R-32 refrigerant to Canadian homes. With Quebec’s shift toward sustainable solutions, this heat pump not only meets but exceeds future government energy efficiency regulations set for 2025. For our clients, this means reduced energy bills, lower environmental impact, and seamless operation in even the harshest Montreal winters.
Key features of the Sharp ZU1 include:
- Heating Capacity: Up to -27°C, ideal for Quebec’s extreme cold.
- Cooling Capacity: 18,000 BTU, perfect for year-round comfort.
- Efficiency: A remarkable 24.0 SEER, ensuring maximum energy savings.
- Noise Levels: Whisper-quiet operation at 25 dB(A) indoors and 52 dB(A) outdoors.
- WiFi Connectivity: Control your comfort remotely with ease.
Why This Client Chose the Sharp ZU1
Our client, a homeowner in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, needed a solution that could handle the unpredictable Quebec weather. Their top priority was energy efficiency without compromising comfort. After an in-depth consultation with our AirGreen specialists, the Sharp ZU1 emerged as the perfect choice due to its:
- High performance in cold climates (down to -27°C).
- Admissibility for the $2,640 LogisVert Grant—the highest grant available for any 18,000 BTU system in Quebec!
- Superior air purification through Plasmacluster technology.
Installation Day in Rosemont
On a brisk morning in Rosemont, our professional AirGreen installation team arrived ready to deliver excellence. After carefully assessing the space, we mounted the indoor unit—a sleek and modern system with dimensions of 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44—above the client’s living room window. This placement allowed for optimal airflow without intruding on the room’s aesthetic.
The outdoor unit, with robust dimensions of 33.47 x 13 x 27.94, was securely installed to withstand Montreal’s harsh winters. We meticulously ran the 1/4 - 3/8 pipes, ensuring smooth connectivity between both units for seamless performance. Our team took extra care to test and verify all functions, guaranteeing our client a fully operational and efficient system before we left.
Sharp Plasmacluster: Cleaner Air for a Healthier Home
One of the standout features of the Sharp ZU1 is its innovative Plasmacluster air purification technology. In an urban area like Rosemont, where allergens and pollutants are common, this feature was a game-changer for our client.
How does it work?
- Ion Diffusion: The system releases positive and negative ions that mimic natural air purification.
- Neutralizing Contaminants: Ions attack and eliminate airborne viruses, mold, and allergens.
- Returning to Water: These ions recombine into water molecules, leaving the air fresh and clean.
Benefits of Plasmacluster Technology:
- Removes up to 99% of airborne viruses and bacteria.
- Neutralizes odors, tobacco residues, and allergens.
- Ensures a healthier indoor environment for families.
Coanda Airflow: Precision Comfort
No one likes cold drafts or uneven temperatures. That’s where Sharp’s Coanda airflow technology comes in. By directing warm air downwards during winter and cool air upwards in summer, the ZU1 ensures a consistent and comfortable temperature throughout the home. This technology also allows the purified air to reach every corner of the room without blowing directly on the occupants.
Our client was thrilled with the ability to enjoy uniform comfort no matter where they sat—whether on their cozy couch or near the kitchen.
Built to Endure Montreal’s Winters
Sharp has engineered the ZU1 with advanced defrost technology to thrive in frigid conditions. When temperatures dip below freezing, the system:
- Prevents ice buildup using a hot gas pipe system.
- Efficiently drains condensation with multiple drainage holes.
- Shortens defrost time by 60%, minimizing energy waste and keeping the room consistently warm.
With Montreal’s winters often dropping below -20°C, this feature ensures reliability when it’s needed most.
Smart Connectivity for Modern Living
The Sharp ZU1 is equipped with WiFi connectivity and smart motion sensors. Our client can now control their heat pump from their smartphone, adjusting the temperature and monitoring energy consumption from anywhere. Additional features include:
- Energy Tracking: View daily and monthly energy usage for optimized savings.
- GPS Locking: Automatically adjusts settings when the homeowner leaves or returns.
- Multi-Space Function: Direct airflow to multiple rooms for balanced comfort.
These smart features not only enhance convenience but also maximize efficiency and reduce unnecessary energy consumption.
