Our Installation Process: Craftsmanship and Precision
Meticulous Planning
Every installation begins with a detailed assessment of the home’s layout and energy requirements. For this project, we focused on optimizing the placement of the indoor and outdoor units to maximize efficiency and airflow.
Rooftop Precision
The outdoor compressor unit was securely mounted on an elevated wooden platform to ensure proper drainage and protection against snow accumulation. Our team carefully anchored the unit to withstand Montreal’s unpredictable weather conditions.
Seamless Integration
Inside the home, we installed the sleek SHARP ZU1 indoor unit at an optimal height for even air distribution. The unit’s compact design (41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches) made it an unobtrusive addition to the living space.
Attention to Detail
We utilized premium piping and electrical wiring to ensure the system operates at peak efficiency. Every connection was double-checked to prevent leaks and ensure long-term reliability.
