Experience Year-Round Comfort: A Seamless Heat Pump Installation in Montreal
At AirGreen, we understand that finding the perfect HVAC system for your home can make a world of difference, especially in a city like Montreal where temperatures fluctuate dramatically throughout the year. We recently completed the installation of a Sharp ZU1 24,000 BTU Mini Split Heat Pump for a customer in Montreal, and we’re excited to share how this energy-efficient system has transformed their home comfort.
Our client was looking for a solution that could handle Montreal’s icy winters and scorching summers with equal efficiency, and the Sharp ZU1 Mini Split fit the bill perfectly. Offering an impressive cooling capacity of 24,000 BTU and the ability to heat in temperatures as low as -27°C, this unit is a powerhouse of reliability and performance.
Why the Sharp ZU1? The Best Choice for Montreal’s Harsh Climate
The Sharp ZU1 isn’t just another heat pump; it’s a system designed to meet the needs of modern homeowners looking for advanced features, superior efficiency, and sustainability. Our customer was also thrilled to learn that this Sharp ZU1 model is eligible for the Hydro-Québec LogisVert Grant, allowing them to claim up to $2,688—the highest grant available for a 24,000 BTU unit!
But this installation wasn’t just about adding a new HVAC unit. It was about improving comfort, increasing energy efficiency, and ensuring long-term savings on energy bills.
Step-by-Step: The Installation Journey
For this installation, we focused on ensuring that every detail was executed to perfection. Here’s a quick breakdown of how we completed the process:
1. Initial Consultation
During our consultation, we discussed the customer’s requirements and evaluated their home’s heating and cooling needs. The 24,000 BTU Sharp ZU1 was chosen specifically for its ability to handle both larger rooms and extreme weather conditions.
2. Preparation and Planning
Since the Sharp ZU1 is known for its quiet operation and low energy consumption, we strategically placed the outdoor unit to minimize noise while maximizing efficiency. The compact dimensions of the outdoor unit (33.47 x 13 x 27.94 inches) allowed us to install it on the rooftop without compromising the space or aesthetics of the area.
3. Precision Installation
The installation included mounting the indoor unit, measuring 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches, in a central living area. The system was positioned for optimal air distribution and easy control through the built-in WiFi connectivity feature, which allows the client to adjust settings from their smartphone.
4. Energy Efficiency and Sustainability
The Sharp ZU1 uses the latest R-32 refrigerant, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and cuts energy consumption by 10% compared to older systems. This aligns perfectly with our customer’s desire to lower their carbon footprint while benefiting from reliable heating and cooling all year round.
Advanced Features of the Sharp ZU1 24,000 BTU Heat Pump
Plasmacluster Technology: A Breath of Fresh Air
One of the standout features of the Sharp ZU1 is its Plasmacluster air purification system. Unlike most heat pumps, this technology not only regulates temperature but also purifies the air by eliminating mold, allergens, viruses, and bacteria. The client loved knowing that their air quality would improve while they stayed comfortable.
Coanda Airflow Control: Comfort Without the Drafts
The Coanda Airflow control system ensures that airflow is evenly distributed across the room. By directing air towards walls and ceilings, this feature prevents cold or hot drafts from blowing directly on people, which creates a more balanced and comfortable environment in every corner of the home.
Quiet Operation
At 53 dB(A) for the outdoor unit and as low as 25 dB(A) for the indoor unit, the Sharp ZU1 operates nearly silently, which was a major selling point for our client. They can now enjoy a peaceful environment without the usual hum of a typical HVAC system.
Ensuring Long-Term Performance
At AirGreen, we believe that a high-quality installation should last for years to come, which is why we offered our customer the 10-year extended warranty that covers the compressor, parts, and labor. The customer can rest easy knowing that their new Sharp ZU1 Heat Pump is backed by one of the best warranties in the industry.
