In the charming town of Saint-Bruno, a homeowner was seeking a reliable solution to ensure year-round comfort while being mindful of both energy consumption and environmental impact. At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on matching our clients with the most advanced and suitable systems for their needs. For this installation, the Sharp ZU1 24,000 BTU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump stood out as the perfect choice—and for good reason.

This ductless heat pump is more than just a machine; it’s a solution designed to handle Quebec’s harsh winters and humid summers with absolute precision. Not only does it provide excellent cooling and heating performance, but it also comes with a LOGISVERT grant of $2,688, an incentive from Hydro-Québec, making it a smart and affordable upgrade for any homeowner.

Why the Sharp ZU1 is the Ideal Heat Pump for Saint-Bruno

When we look at the climate in Greater Montreal, including Saint-Bruno, it’s clear that we need machines capable of withstanding extreme conditions. The Sharp ZU1 checks all the boxes:

• Heating Capacity: Efficient operation even in freezing temperatures as low as -27°C.
• Cooling Capacity: A powerful 24,000 BTU ensures refreshing cool air even during summer’s hottest days.
• Superior Efficiency: With an impressive 22.0 SEER rating and R-32 refrigerant, this unit is energy-efficient and eco-friendly.
• Warranty: Enjoy peace of mind with the 10-year warranty on parts, labor, and compressor.

What’s more, the Plasmacluster Technology unique to Sharp ensures that this isn’t just a heat pump—it’s also an air purification system that eliminates allergens, viruses, and odors from the home environment.

A Seamless Installation Process

Our team at AirGreen completed this installation with precision and care. Mounted seamlessly onto the homeowner's exterior wall, the Sharp ZU1 exterior unit complements the home’s structure without disrupting its aesthetic. The dimensions of the outdoor unit—33.47 x 13 x 27.94—made it a perfect fit for the available space.

The indoor unit, featuring sleek and modern lines with dimensions of 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44, blends effortlessly into the home’s interior while delivering quiet operation with a sound pressure level as low as 25 dB(A). The client was delighted to find that even at full capacity, the system remains whisper-quiet, ensuring comfort without noise.

Plasmacluster Technology: Clean Air, Pure Comfort

One of the standout features of the Sharp ZU1 is its Plasmacluster air purification system. Sharp’s technology mimics nature’s ability to clean the air, using ions to eliminate:

• Airborne allergens and viruses
• Mold and microbes
• Unpleasant odors—like cooking, tobacco, or pet smells

For families in Saint-Bruno, where indoor air quality can be impacted by changing seasons, this feature is invaluable. The homeowner noted an immediate improvement in air quality after installation, especially during the transition to colder weather when homes are sealed tightly.

The Coanda Effect: Comfort Without Compromise

Have you ever felt uncomfortable air drafts from a heat pump? Not with the Sharp ZU1. Leveraging the Coanda airflow control, this heat pump directs air efficiently to ensure even temperature distribution across the room. By flowing air along walls and ceilings, the Coanda flap prevents direct blasts of cold or warm air on occupants, providing gentle and uniform comfort.

• Heated air: Directed downward during winter.
• Cooled air: Redirected upward in summer.

This thoughtful airflow system is particularly appreciated in open-concept living spaces, where maintaining consistent temperatures can be a challenge.

Built for Extreme Quebec Winters

At AirGreen, we understand that winters in Quebec demand more than just any heat pump. The Sharp ZU1 shines when temperatures drop, thanks to its:

• Hot Gas Pipe System: Prevents the outdoor compressor from freezing, allowing operation at -27°C.
• Defrost Function: Minimizes ice buildup and reduces defrosting time by up to 60%, ensuring uninterrupted heating.
• Anticorrosive Coating: Protects the unit from salt, moisture, and corrosion during harsh weather conditions.

For homeowners in Saint-Bruno, these features guarantee that their investment will perform reliably for years, even in the most demanding conditions.

Environmentally Conscious with R-32 Refrigerant

Sharp is leading the way in adopting environmentally responsible solutions, and the R-32 refrigerant in the ZU1 series is a prime example. Compared to older refrigerants like R-22, R-32:

• Reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
• Improves energy efficiency by 10%.
• Has a lower environmental impact.

The combination of eco-friendly refrigerant and high-efficiency operation ensures that this heat pump not only saves the homeowner on energy bills but also reduces their carbon footprint.

A Smart Heat Pump with Modern Connectivity

In today’s tech-driven world, the Sharp ZU1 doesn’t disappoint. Equipped with WiFi connectivity, the system can be controlled through a smartphone app, offering:

• Real-time temperature adjustments.
• Energy consumption monitoring.
• Motion detection alerts.

Homeowners can even receive notifications when they leave the house with the system running, allowing them to optimize energy usage remotely.
