Bringing Comfort and Efficiency to Notre-Dame-de-Grâce Homes with State-of-the-Art Technology
When it comes to heating and cooling your home, AirGreen takes pride in delivering cutting-edge solutions tailored to the unique needs of every customer. Recently, we installed a SHARP ZU1 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a charming residence in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce, Montreal. This installation combined sleek aesthetics, advanced technology, and eco-conscious efficiency to provide unparalleled year-round comfort.
Why the SHARP ZU1 Is Perfect for Montreal’s Climate
Montreal winters can be unforgiving, with temperatures plummeting well below freezing. The SHARP ZU1 is engineered to handle these extremes effortlessly. Boasting a heating capacity that works down to -27°C, this heat pump ensures reliable warmth even in the harshest conditions. For the summer months, its 18,000 BTU cooling capacity keeps the home refreshingly cool.
Some standout features of this model include:
- Energy Star® Certified Efficiency: With a remarkable 24.0 SEER rating, this unit is not only environmentally friendly but also helps reduce energy bills significantly.
- Plasmacluster Technology: This innovative air purification system eliminates airborne viruses, mold, and allergens while neutralizing odors, ensuring healthier indoor air.
- Coanda Airflow Control: Strategically directs airflow to avoid direct drafts, maintaining consistent temperatures throughout the home.
A Seamless Installation Tailored to the Space
Our team was thrilled to tackle this project, as the homeowner sought both comfort and efficiency without compromising on design. The indoor unit, with its sleek dimensions of 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches, was installed above the patio door to maximize airflow distribution while blending seamlessly with the interior décor. The outdoor unit, compact yet robust at 33.47 x 13 x 27.94 inches, was carefully positioned to optimize performance and minimize noise.
Custom Details That Make a Difference
Every installation has its unique challenges and opportunities, and this one was no different. Here are some noteworthy aspects of this project:
- Precision Pipework: We used premium piping (1/4 - 3/8) to ensure maximum efficiency and durability. The piping was neatly encased in protective covering, complementing the brick façade of the house.
- WiFi Integration: The unit’s smart connectivity allows the homeowner to control and monitor their system from their smartphone, ensuring convenience and energy optimization.
- Noise Reduction: With sound levels as low as 25 dB(A) indoors and 52 dB(A) outdoors, the system operates quietly, perfect for residential neighborhoods.
- LogisVert Grant Eligibility: This model qualifies for a $2,640 LogisVert grant from Hydro-Québec, the highest subsidy available for an 18,000 BTU system in the province.
Eco-Friendly Refrigerant for a Sustainable Future
At AirGreen, we prioritize sustainability. The SHARP ZU1 uses R-32 refrigerant, which has a lower global warming potential compared to traditional options like R-22. This not only reduces the unit’s environmental impact but also enhances energy efficiency by approximately 10%. Choosing this model is a step toward a greener future, aligning with Quebec’s energy efficiency standards for 2025.
Key Benefits of the SHARP ZU1
1. Advanced Air Purification
The integrated Plasmacluster Technology is a game-changer. It releases positively and negatively charged ions to neutralize contaminants, creating a healthier indoor environment. Whether it’s allergens, mold, or stubborn odors, this system tackles them all, ensuring fresh, clean air for the family.
2. Uniform Comfort with Coanda Airflow
The Coanda Effect redirects airflow along walls and ceilings, maintaining consistent temperatures across the home. Say goodbye to hot and cold spots and hello to harmonious comfort.
3. Year-Round Performance
Unlike many heat pumps that struggle in extreme cold, the SHARP ZU1 thrives even in -27°C. Its hot gas pipe system prevents freezing, while its advanced defrosting technology ensures uninterrupted heating during icy winters.
4. User-Friendly Features
From self-cleaning mode to motion-sensing technology, the ZU1 is designed with convenience in mind. The smartphone app provides real-time updates on energy consumption, indoor temperature, and even occupancy detection.
