Four-season comfort in the heart of a typical Montreal duplex
At AirGreen , we recently completed the installation of a Sharp ZU1 wall-mounted heat pump in a typical red brick duplex in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie neighborhood of Montreal. This installation perfectly illustrates our expertise: careful work, adapted to the urban architecture of the city and the specific energy efficiency needs of residents.
A discreet and efficient installation on a brick facade
The Sharp ZU1 outdoor compressor, equipped with environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant , has been securely mounted on galvanized wall brackets , optimized for perfect stability. This configuration frees up floor space while promoting optimal air circulation around the unit.
The installation is distinguished by the cleanliness of the wiring and the casing , as well as by the precise management of the condensate drainage . Thanks to a carefully made drilling through the masonry, the refrigeration connections and the electrical wiring discreetly join the interior head. An electrical protection box has also been added, guaranteeing safety and compliance with current standards.
Why choose the Sharp ZU1 model?
The Sharp ZU1 is known for its exceptional performance even at -25 °C , making it an ideal solution for Quebec winters . Equipped with an intelligent inverter compressor (Eco Inverter) and the new R-32 refrigerant , it offers:
-
Reduced CO₂ emissions thanks to a lower global warming potential (GWP) than R-410A.
-
Superior energy efficiency (SEER up to 24 and high HSPF).
-
Quiet and stable operation , ideal for dense residential environments like Rosemont.
Adaptation to the urban environment
The typical brick architecture of Montreal plexes presents certain installation challenges. Our technicians took into account:
-
of the supporting structure of the wall , in order to distribute the loads without compromising the integrity of the facade;
-
close proximity , to minimize noise pollution;
-
and the aesthetic management of the wiring , essential to preserve the harmonious appearance of the backyard.
Subsidies and energy efficiency
This type of installation is eligible for provincial grant programs (such as Rénoclimat or Chauffez vert ), since the Sharp ZU1 meets energy performance requirements and uses an environmentally friendly refrigerant. We support our customers every step of the way, from model selection to submitting documents to maximize their savings.
The result: comfort, efficiency and peace of mind
Thanks to this installation, the owner now benefits from:
-
stable and economical heating during the winter;
-
efficient and quiet air conditioning during the summer;
-
and simplified maintenance , provided by our AirGreen team.
Each project in Montreal is a new opportunity for us to demonstrate that performance, aesthetics and durability can coexist harmoniously in the field of residential HVAC .
