A Modern Solution for Year-Round Comfort
Montreal winters are unforgiving, and summers can bring sweltering heat. The homeowners in LaSalle faced these challenges year after year, struggling to find a solution that balanced performance, energy efficiency, and air quality. After assessing their needs and space, we recommended the SHARP ZU1 24,000 BTU heat pump – a true gem in the world of ductless heating and cooling.

The SHARP ZU1 is not just any heat pump. Ranked #1 in our 2025 Wall-Mounted Heat Pump Guide, it stands out due to its remarkable features:
- Heating Capacity: Maintains full efficiency down to -27°C – perfect for our harsh winters.
- Cooling Capacity: 24,000 BTU ensures the home remains cool during scorching summer days.

Behind the Scenes: The Installation Process
Our expert team at AirGreen began by carefully planning the placement of the outdoor compressor and the indoor wall-mounted unit. The homeowner was particularly concerned about ensuring maximum airflow and maintaining the aesthetics of their property. Here’s how we executed this installation to perfection:
-
Outdoor Unit Placement
The SHARP outdoor unit was securely mounted on a specialized stand on the roof. We ensured proper insulation with robust anti-vibration mounts, reducing noise levels to a mere 53 dB(A). The stand also prevents snow accumulation – a must in Montreal winters. -
Indoor Wall-Mounted Unit
The sleek 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44-inch indoor unit was installed strategically to maximize the Coanda airflow effect. This innovative feature redirects air along walls and ceilings, ensuring uniform temperature distribution without uncomfortable drafts. -
Piping and Electrical Work
Using high-quality 1/4 - 3/8 pipes and a clean 220V connection, we optimized the system’s performance. The refrigerant used, R-32, ensures a smaller environmental footprint while enhancing cooling and heating efficiency. -
Testing and Configuration
After installation, we meticulously tested the system to ensure every function worked flawlessly. The homeowner was particularly impressed with the unit’s quiet operation – the indoor sound levels range between 25 and 49 dB(A).
Standout Features That Make the SHARP ZU1 Exceptional
1. Plasmacluster Technology: Cleaner, Healthier Air
One of SHARP's standout innovations, Plasmacluster Technology, sets this heat pump apart. By releasing positive and negative ions, it actively eliminates airborne mold, viruses, allergens, and odors. The homeowners loved this added health benefit, especially since it ensures cleaner air for their family year-round.
2. Coanda Airflow: Comfort Without Compromise
With the Coanda effect, the SHARP ZU1 efficiently directs airflow along surfaces, avoiding direct drafts. Whether cooling in summer or heating in winter, it creates a comfortable, harmonized temperature throughout the home.
3. Built for Quebec Winters: Hot Gas Pipe Defrosting
Quebec’s winter temperatures demand reliable technology. SHARP’s Hot Gas Pipe system prevents ice buildup on the outdoor unit, enabling consistent operation even when the thermometer drops to -27°C.
4. WiFi Connectivity: Smart Control Anytime, Anywhere
The SHARP ZU1 comes equipped with WiFi control, allowing homeowners to monitor and adjust their system using a smartphone app. From tracking energy consumption to setting customized schedules, the app ensures total control at their fingertips.
5. Energy Efficiency and Environmental Responsibility
With its use of R-32 refrigerant, the SHARP ZU1 reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves energy efficiency. This not only helps protect the environment but also lowers energy bills – a win-win for both the homeowner and the planet.
Eligibility for the LogisVert Grant
We were thrilled to inform the homeowners that their new SHARP ZU1 Wall-Mounted Heat Pump qualifies for the $2,688 LogisVert grant offered by Hydro-Québec. This government program encourages homeowners to switch to energy-efficient solutions, making the SHARP ZU1 an even smarter investment.
