Strategic Placement
The Sharp ZU1 indoor unit was installed in a carefully selected space, ensuring maximum airflow coverage. With Coanda airflow control, this system avoids direct air drafts on occupants, offering optimal comfort. Whether you’re sitting, working, or resting in the room, the air disperses evenly without creating cold or hot zones. -
Seamless Integration
The indoor unit, with dimensions of 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44, blends effortlessly with the sleek, modern interior of this Montréal-Est home. The outdoor unit, measuring 33.47 x 13 x 27.94, was strategically positioned to minimize noise and enhance durability. -
Clean Installation with Efficiency in Mind
Using 1/4 - 3/8 pipes for precise refrigerant flow, our technicians ensured a clean, efficient setup. The sound pressure levels of 25 dB(A) indoors and 53 dB(A) outdoors keep the operation whisper-quiet, ideal for maintaining tranquility in the home.
