Progress of the installation in Ville Mont-Royal
A discreet and perfectly integrated wall installation
One of the challenges in this TMR residence was installing the indoor unit in a living room with a low ceiling and near a difficult architectural corner. Using our precision ladder and specialized tools, our technicians positioned the unit precisely, while respecting SHARP's recommended clearances for optimal airflow.
Preparation and crossing of wall
The AirGreen team first secured the wall template provided by SHARP, drilled the anchor points, and prepared the wall penetration for the refrigerant lines (1/4 – 3/8 inches). The outdoor unit was then placed on a vibration-damping base, away from windows to maximize noise reduction.
Pressure testing, vacuuming and calibration
After connecting the copper pipes, we performed a pressure test to verify the refrigeration circuit's tightness. A vacuum was applied for 45 minutes at -500 microns, followed by a full system startup with flow, pressure, and performance verification using our professional Bluetooth tools.
Why does this installation stand out?
1. An ideal performance for Montreal's climate
Capable of operating down to -27°C, this SHARP wall-mounted heat pump is designed for Quebec winters. In Ville Mont-Royal , where temperature fluctuations are frequent, customers will benefit from consistent comfort, without excessive reliance on secondary heating systems.
2. Exemplary aesthetic integration
The client wanted a discreet installation, with no visible ducts. Thanks to our expertise, we integrated the system elegantly, with a flawless finish around the wall plate and exterior ducts.
3. Smart and quiet comfort
With the mobile app and Wi-Fi connectivity , occupants can adjust the temperature, schedule cycles, and track energy consumption in real time. Quiet operation ensures comfort even at night or in workspaces.
LogisVert grant: a major incentive for this project
