At AirGreen, we are proud to offer superior HVAC services throughout Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. Recently, we completed the installation of a Sharp ZU1 24,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in Villeray–Saint-Michel, setting a new standard in comfort, efficiency, and air quality. This project illustrates our commitment to providing the best heating and cooling solutions tailored to the unique needs of homeowners in Quebec.
A smart choice for extreme climates
The Sharp ZU1 is designed to excel in extreme weather conditions, making it an ideal choice for Quebec’s harsh winters and hot summers. With a heating capacity that operates down to -27°C, this wall-mounted heat pump is specially designed to keep you warm even on the coldest days. The 24,000 BTU cooling capacity provides robust air conditioning to maintain a comfortable indoor environment during summer heat.
The environmental advantage: R-32 refrigerant
This installation features the R-32 refrigerant, a more sustainable and efficient alternative to traditional options. R-32 significantly reduces the heat pump’s environmental footprint by lowering greenhouse gas emissions and improving energy efficiency. Its use complies with upcoming government energy efficiency standards and reflects our commitment to offering environmentally friendly HVAC solutions.
Plasmacluster technology: Improve your home’s air quality
The Sharp ZU1 heat pump does more than control temperature; it also enhances air quality. Using Plasmacluster technology, the unit effectively eliminates viruses, bacteria, allergens, and mold suspended in the air while neutralizing unpleasant odors. This unique technology replicates natural air purification processes, ensuring an indoor environment that is not only comfortable but also healthier. Here’s how Plasmacluster technology works to improve air quality:
- Ion diffusion: The system releases positive and negative ions similar to those found in nature, wrapped in water molecules to extend their lifespan.
- Contaminant neutralization: The ions attack contaminants, including viruses and mold, by breaking down their molecular structures.
- Return to water molecules: Finally, the ions combine with other elements in the air to revert to water vapor, ensuring no harmful residue remains.
Optimal airflow control with Coanda effect technology
The Sharp ZU1 uses Coanda effect technology, which optimizes airflow to ensure even temperature distribution throughout the home. Instead of blowing air directly on occupants, the unit redirects airflow along walls and ceilings, providing a draft-free experience. This feature is especially beneficial in homes with irregular layouts or multiple floors, as it promotes consistent temperatures in all rooms.
Comfort guaranteed all year round
Quebec winters are no obstacle for the Sharp ZU1 heat pump. The system uses hot gas pipe technology to prevent the outdoor compressor from freezing, ensuring continuous operation even in extreme cold conditions. The heat pump’s defrost function is designed to reduce energy consumption and minimize indoor temperature fluctuations during defrost cycles, allowing uninterrupted comfort during cold spells.
A long-term investment in quality
Every component of the Sharp ZU1 is built to last. The unit features anti-corrosion coatings, multiple drainage holes to prevent freezing, and a durable compressor capable of delivering consistent performance. For added peace of mind, this installation is covered by a comprehensive 10-year warranty on the compressor, parts, and labor.
Modern features for optimal comfort
This Sharp ZU1 installation is equipped with WiFi connectivity, allowing homeowners to control the system remotely via a smartphone app. The app provides real-time information on temperature, humidity, and energy consumption, enabling smarter energy use and cost savings. It also supports auto-changeover mode, which automatically switches between heating and cooling as needed.
Eligible for the largest LogisVert credit
Homeowners can benefit from the $2,688 Hydro-Québec LogisVert credit, the highest offered for a 24,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump. This credit not only reduces the initial cost but also highlights the energy-efficient and environmentally friendly design of the Sharp ZU1. Taking advantage of this credit is a smart decision to reduce your carbon footprint and energy bills.
