A Cutting-Edge HVAC Solution Tailored for Sainte-Julie's Unique Climate Needs
When it comes to ensuring year-round comfort in Quebec's unpredictable climate, investing in the right HVAC system can make all the difference. Recently, our AirGreen team had the privilege of installing a 15,000 BTU SHARP ZU1 Wall-Mounted Heat Pump in a beautiful home nestled in Sainte-Julie. This installation is a perfect example of how advanced technology meets practical solutions for Quebec homeowners.
Project Overview: Delivering Efficiency and Comfort in Sainte-Julie
For this project, the homeowners sought an energy-efficient system capable of handling Quebec's harsh winters while providing consistent cooling during the humid summer months. The SHARP ZU1 heat pump, equipped with R-32 refrigerant, was an ideal match. Not only does it offer superior heating performance down to a bone-chilling -27°C, but its sleek design and innovative features ensure it seamlessly integrates into any home environment.

Installation Highlights: Combining Expertise with Innovation
At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on delivering meticulous, customer-centric installations. This project in Sainte-Julie was no exception. Our process began with an in-depth consultation to understand the homeowner’s needs and assess the property’s layout.
Placement and Design
The outdoor unit, a compact AE-X15ZU1, was strategically installed on a sturdy elevated metal stand, ensuring protection from snow buildup during the winter months. The indoor unit, AY-XP15ZU1, was positioned in the central living area for optimal airflow and uniform temperature control. Its sleek dimensions—41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches—allowed it to blend seamlessly into the home’s aesthetic.
Precision Installation Steps
- Structural Assessment: Ensured the outdoor platform provided proper drainage and stability.
- Refrigerant Line Installation: Used premium 1/4 - 3/8 inch pipes to guarantee efficient refrigerant flow.
- Electrical Setup: The system’s 220V power requirements were integrated into the home’s existing infrastructure.
- Testing and Calibration: Verified the system’s efficiency by conducting a full performance test, ensuring peak operation in both heating and cooling modes.
The Benefits: More Than Just a Heat Pump
The SHARP ZU1 isn’t just about temperature control—it’s about enhancing the quality of life. Here are some of the standout features our Sainte-Julie clients will enjoy:
Plasmacluster Air Purification
This unique SHARP technology replicates nature’s ionization process to:
- Eliminate airborne viruses and bacteria.
- Reduce mold, allergens, and odors.
- Create a healthier indoor environment for the family.
Coanda Airflow Control
The Coanda effect ensures even air distribution throughout the home, eliminating uncomfortable drafts. This technology directs airflow along ceilings and walls, ensuring every corner of the room is evenly heated or cooled.
Multi-Space Functionality
For larger homes, the SHARP ZU1’s multi-space capability allows it to balance temperatures across multiple rooms, creating a cohesive indoor environment.
Maximizing Value with Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Grant
One of the highlights of this installation is its eligibility for the $2,172 LogisVert Grant offered by Hydro-Québec. This substantial financial incentive not only offsets the upfront costs but also reinforces the value of investing in energy-efficient technologies. At AirGreen, we guide our clients through the application process, ensuring they maximize their savings.
