Efficient Heating and Cooling for Quebec’s Extreme Weather
In the scenic neighborhood of Town of Mount Royal (TMR), our team at AirGreen recently completed an installation that exemplifies our commitment to quality and reliability. The project involved setting up a 15,000 BTU Sharp ZU1 wall-mounted mini split heat pump, a top choice for homeowners across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. This modern, energy-efficient system is not only ideal for Quebec’s cold winters but also excels at providing cooling during the sweltering summer months.
Bringing Comfort to Every Corner of the Home
Our client in TMR needed a dependable heating solution capable of withstanding Quebec's harsh winter temperatures, which often drop well below freezing. The Sharp ZU1, with its heating capacity extending down to -27°C, easily delivers consistent warmth even under the most severe conditions. Additionally, its 24.0 SEER rating ensures optimal energy efficiency, helping to keep heating costs in check.
The Sharp ZU1 represents a new generation of heat pumps, using the eco-friendly R-32 refrigerant, known for its lower environmental impact and superior efficiency. This installation not only enhances immediate comfort but also aligns with Hydro-Québec’s sustainability goals, as it qualifies for the substantial $2,172 LogisVert Grant—the highest rebate available for a 15,000 BTU unit in the province.
Smooth and Clean Installation Process
Installing the Sharp ZU1 mini split heat pump required meticulous planning and execution. The outdoor unit was securely mounted on a durable bracket, positioned to ensure optimal airflow and minimize noise for the homeowner. The indoor unit was strategically placed to maximize airflow distribution, ensuring even heating and cooling throughout the living space. We used high-quality insulated copper pipes for efficient refrigerant flow and installed premium electrical wiring to ensure the system’s longevity.
While on-site, we took the opportunity to thoroughly clean the client’s old system. As the photos reveal, the coils of the existing unit were heavily clogged with dust and debris, impairing its efficiency. After a professional cleaning, the old system was restored to near-optimal performance. The customer was delighted with this added effort, especially since the improvement in air quality was immediately noticeable.
The Advanced Technology of the Sharp ZU1
Plasmacluster Air Purification – A Healthier Home Environment
One of the standout features of the Sharp ZU1 heat pump is its Plasmacluster air purification technology. This advanced system releases positive and negative ions into the air, neutralizing airborne contaminants such as viruses, allergens, and odors. It’s an ideal solution for families who prioritize indoor air quality, providing peace of mind that every breath taken indoors is fresh and clean.
Coanda Airflow Control – Achieving Perfect Comfort
The Sharp ZU1 also incorporates Coanda airflow control, a sophisticated feature that mimics natural air movement to evenly distribute air throughout the room. By guiding warm air downward in the winter and cool air upward in the summer, this mechanism helps maintain a consistent temperature without uncomfortable drafts. Whether you’re near the window or in a distant corner, you can count on uniform comfort in every part of your home.
Hot Gas Pipe System – Winter-Ready Performance
The ability of the Sharp ZU1 to operate efficiently down to -27°C is made possible by its patented Hot Gas Pipe system. This innovative technology circulates hot gas through the piping to prevent the outdoor compressor from freezing, ensuring reliable operation even during the coldest winter days. For homeowners in Quebec, where extreme weather is the norm, this feature is invaluable.
