And, thanks to its Energy Star® certification and the advanced R-32 refrigerant, it stands out as an environmentally friendly choice for homeowners looking to minimize their carbon footprint.
Key Features of the SHARP ZU1 Heat Pump
The SHARP ZU1 offers a suite of advanced features, making it one of the most sought-after units for homeowners seeking high performance and low maintenance. Here’s why the ZU1 is such a game-changer:
- Extreme Heating Capacity: Capable of providing heating in temperatures as low as -27°C, the ZU1 ensures that warmth is maintained even during Quebec's harshest winter days.

- Quiet Operation: With an indoor sound level as low as 25 dB(A), the ZU1 provides powerful climate control without disruptive noise, ensuring that peace and comfort coexist seamlessly.
- Plasmacluster Technology: SHARP’s unique air purification system generates positive and negative ions, creating a healthier indoor environment by reducing bacteria, viruses, and allergens in the air.
The Installation Process in Pointe-Calumet
Our expert team took meticulous care during this installation to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the unit. The indoor and outdoor units were strategically placed to maximize airflow and efficiency, while maintaining a discreet profile that blends seamlessly into the home’s design.
-
Site Assessment: We evaluated the layout of the home and identified the best positioning for both indoor and outdoor units to ensure unobstructed airflow and minimal noise impact.
-
Seamless Integration: The indoor unit, with dimensions of 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches, was mounted in a central location for balanced air distribution. The outdoor unit (33.47 x 13 x 27.94 inches) was positioned with ample clearance to facilitate efficient defrosting, even in extreme cold.
-
Piping and Connections: We used high-quality pipes (1/4 - 3/8 inch) and electrical components to establish a secure, long-lasting connection. With 220V voltage and a sound pressure level of 52 dB(A) for the exterior unit, this setup minimizes energy consumption while delivering robust performance.
Maximizing Financial Benefits with the LogisVert Grant
One of the highlights of this installation is the substantial financial benefit it offers through the Hydro-Québec LogisVert Grant. As one of the few heat pumps in the 18,000 BTU category eligible for Hydro-Québec’s highest LogisVert rebate, the SHARP ZU1 offers a grant of $2,640. This rebate, combined with the unit's high efficiency, makes the SHARP ZU1 an incredibly cost-effective choice.
Exceptional Warranty and Long-Term Savings
The SHARP ZU1 heat pump comes with an impressive 10-10-10 warranty—10 years on the compressor, parts, and labor. This extended coverage reflects SHARP's commitment to quality and gives our clients peace of mind, knowing that their investment is protected for years to come. With fewer maintenance needs and a lifespan designed to withstand Quebec’s challenging climate, the SHARP ZU1 offers significant long-term savings, making it an excellent choice for homeowners.
