A Sharp ZU1 wall-mounted heat pump precisely installed by AirGreen in Rosemont
In the heart of the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood, the AirGreen team recently completed the installation of a Sharp ZU1 wall-mounted heat pump , a model renowned for its reliability, Plasmacluster Ion technology, and energy-efficient performance suited to the Quebec climate. This work is part of our mission: to provide Montreal residents with sustainable, quiet, and efficient HVAC solutions year-round.
A clean and discreet installation, adapted to Montreal architecture
The outdoor unit was installed on the rear facade of a typical red brick duplex , on sturdy wall brackets . This raised position allows for efficient drainage in winter , preventing any accumulation of snow. The refrigerant pipes and electrical cables were carefully concealed under brown covered wiring , in harmony with the existing masonry.
The conduit runs down the wall to the base, with a watertight connection and a weatherproof electrical box installed according to RBQ and CSA standards . This attention to detail not only ensures the safety and durability of the system, but also impeccable aesthetics —an AirGreen signature.
Model choice: Sharp ZU1, a perfect balance between performance and design
The Sharp ZU1 wall-mounted heat pump , equipped with Eco Inverter R-32 technology, stands out for its ability to maintain optimal thermal comfort down to −25 °C . Thanks to its variable-speed compressor , it automatically adjusts its power according to the outside temperature, reducing energy consumption while ensuring constant comfort.
-
Available capacities: 12,000 to 24,000 BTU
-
Technology: Inverter DC, Plasmacluster Ion
-
Refrigerant gas: R-32 (ecological and efficient)
-
Operating range: −25°C to +43°C
-
Eligible for Quebec energy efficiency programs
This model also offers ultra-quiet operation , ideal for urban residences like those in Rosemont where acoustic comfort is an essential criterion.
Technical details of the installation
This installation required a length of tubing of approximately 5 meters , including the wall passage between the indoor unit (in the ground floor living room) and the outdoor condenser. The team opted for a gravity drain , thus avoiding the use of a condensate pump and reducing the risk of future maintenance.
Galvanized brackets ensure perfect stability and free up floor space—convenient for grounds maintenance or snowy winters. All wiring has been grounded in accordance with the requirements of the Canadian Electrical Code .
Result: immediate efficiency and comfort
Within minutes of being switched on, the Sharp ZU1 heat pump demonstrated its effectiveness: rapid temperature rise, consistent airflow, and precise regulation. The customer particularly appreciated the unit's quiet operation and the cleanliness of the installation , typical of AirGreen services.
Thanks to its high energy efficiency, this installation will allow the customer to significantly reduce their heating and cooling costs , while contributing to a lower carbon footprint.
