A Cutting-Edge Heat Pump in the Heart of Montréal-Nord
At AirGreen, we take pride in every HVAC project we complete across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, Rive-Nord, and Rive-Sud. Recently, we had the pleasure of installing the exceptional Sharp ZU1 18,000 BTU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump in a beautiful residential home located in Montréal-Nord. This high-performance mini split heat pump is a game-changer, not just because of its outstanding capabilities but also due to the incredible $2,640 LogisVert Grant—the highest grant given to any 18,000 BTU machine in Québec!
Why the Sharp ZU1 Was the Perfect Choice for This Installation
When we met with the homeowner in Montréal-Nord, they expressed a need for consistent heating and cooling throughout their living space, especially given Québec’s intense winters. They were looking for a machine that could:
- Heat efficiently in temperatures as low as -27°C
- Deliver reliable cooling with a capacity of 18,000 BTU
- Provide energy efficiency to reduce long-term electricity costs
- Improve indoor air quality
- Integrate modern technologies like WiFi connectivity
The Sharp ZU1 perfectly fit the bill. Known for its superior efficiency (24.0 SEER) and advanced features, this model represents the pinnacle of HVAC innovation.
A Smooth Installation Process
Our expert AirGreen team arrived on-site with a clear plan to ensure the installation was seamless and efficient. Given the homeowner's specific needs, we mounted the Sharp ZU1 outdoor unit under the balcony structure, ensuring it was well-protected while maximizing accessibility. The sleek interior unit—with dimensions of 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches—was placed strategically inside the home to optimize airflow and comfort.
The connections, pipes, and electrical setup were handled with precision:
- Piping dimensions: 1/4 - 3/8 inch lines
- Voltage: 220V for optimal operation
- Sound Pressure Level: Whisper-quiet at 25 dB(A) indoors and 52 dB(A) outdoors
The customer was thrilled with how quickly the system came together and appreciated our attention to detail throughout the process.
Standout Features of the Sharp ZU1 Heat Pump
Plasmacluster Technology for Cleaner Air
Unlike other mini splits, the Sharp ZU1 features Plasmacluster Technology—a state-of-the-art air purification system that:
- Eliminates airborne bacteria and viruses
- Removes mold and allergens
- Neutralizes odors (like tobacco and pets)
- Promotes a healthier indoor environment
This was a critical selling point for our client, who wanted to enhance their family’s health and well-being.
The Coanda Effect for Superior Airflow
The Coanda airflow control directs warm or cool air along walls and ceilings to ensure even temperature distribution without creating uncomfortable drafts. Whether you’re heating or cooling, this technology guarantees that every corner of your home remains comfortable.
Top Efficiency and Environmental Responsibility
The Sharp ZU1 uses the new R-32 refrigerant, which significantly reduces its environmental impact while enhancing energy efficiency. Compared to older refrigerants, R-32 offers:
- 10% lower energy consumption
- A much lower Global Warming Potential (GWP)
- Compliance with future government standards for 2025
Homeowners in Québec can rest assured that this heat pump aligns with both environmental regulations and long-term cost savings.
