A Greener Tomorrow with Cutting-Edge Comfort
At AirGreen, we are proud to showcase one of our latest installations in Sainte-Julie. This project highlights the exceptional SHARP ZU1 18,000 BTU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump, a true marvel of efficiency and comfort, installed for a customer seeking year-round climate control. The combination of innovative technology, environmental responsibility, and sleek design makes this installation a benchmark for what modern HVAC systems can achieve.
The Perfect Match for Sainte-Julie’s Climate
Sainte-Julie, known for its beautiful seasons, requires HVAC systems that can handle Quebec’s challenging winters and warm summers. The SHARP ZU1 heat pump, with its impressive heating capacity down to -27°C and 24.0 SEER efficiency rating, offers unparalleled reliability and energy savings for homeowners. This installation ensures that even the harshest winter nights or hottest summer days are no match for its performance.
Key Features of the SHARP ZU1 Heat Pump
1. Heating and Cooling Efficiency
- 18,000 BTU cooling capacity: Perfect for large spaces, ensuring consistent comfort throughout the home.
- Cold Climate Heating Certified: Operates seamlessly at temperatures as low as -27°C, making it ideal for Quebec winters.
- 24.0 SEER rating: This high-efficiency rating ensures reduced energy consumption, cutting monthly bills without compromising on performance.
2. Plasmacluster Technology
Exclusive to SHARP, Plasmacluster® technology offers superior air purification by neutralizing airborne viruses, bacteria, and allergens. It doesn’t just cool or heat your home—it actively improves indoor air quality, making it a healthier space for the family.
3. Coanda Airflow Control
Say goodbye to uncomfortable drafts. The Coanda airflow system directs air along walls and ceilings to ensure even temperature distribution without blasting cold or hot air directly at occupants. This creates a comfortable, draft-free environment, no matter where you are in the room.
4. Quiet Operation
- Exterior unit noise level: Only 52.0 dB(A), quieter than most outdoor HVAC systems.
- Interior unit noise level: A whisper-quiet operation at 25-49 dB(A), ensuring peace and serenity indoors.
5. WiFi Connectivity
The SHARP ZU1 is a smart heat pump. With integrated WiFi capabilities, homeowners can control temperature settings remotely through a smartphone app, optimize energy use, and monitor real-time data such as humidity and power consumption.

The Story Behind the Installation
Our Sainte-Julie customer reached out to AirGreen after experiencing inconsistent heating in their home. The homeowner needed a solution that offered superior heating performance during Quebec’s notoriously cold winters while also ensuring efficient cooling during the summer months. After consulting with our team, the SHARP ZU1 was the clear choice.
Customized Installation Plan
To ensure optimal performance, our technicians designed a tailored installation plan:
- Strategic Placement: The wall-mounted interior unit was installed to maximize airflow throughout the main living area.
- Secure Exterior Unit Installation: Using heavy-duty brackets, the outdoor unit was securely mounted, ensuring durability and protection against the elements.
- Efficient Piping and Wiring: The refrigerant pipes (1/4” - 3/8”) and electrical connections were expertly concealed to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the property.
Why Choose the SHARP ZU1?
This heat pump isn’t just about performance—it’s also about value. The SHARP ZU1 qualifies for the $2,640 LogisVert Grant from Hydro-Québec, the highest available for an 18,000 BTU unit in the province. This makes it an economical choice for homeowners looking to upgrade their HVAC system while benefiting from government incentives.
Unparalleled Warranty
With an industry-leading 10-10-10 warranty (10 years for the compressor, parts, and labor), customers can enjoy peace of mind knowing their investment is protected.
The Future of HVAC with R-32 Refrigerant
As part of our commitment to sustainability, the SHARP ZU1 utilizes the environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant, which:
- Reduces greenhouse gas emissions by 10% compared to traditional refrigerants.
- Improves energy efficiency, lowering electricity consumption and environmental impact.
