A multi-zone SHARP heat pump installed flawlessly in Boucherville, offering year-round comfort, cleaner air, and energy efficiency—see how AirGreen did it!
Take a tour of the installation
Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.
In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.
Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.
Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.
The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.
Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.
A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.
The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.
On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.
The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.
Creating Ultimate Comfort in Three Zones with the SHARP BU Heat Pump
At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on delivering efficient, eco-friendly, and professional HVAC solutions to customers in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and across the Rive Nord and Rive Sud. Our recent installation in Boucherville showcases a state-of-the-art SHARP BU Triple Zone Heat Pump, offering exceptional comfort and unparalleled air quality to our client's multi-room home.
A Multi-Zone Solution for a Modern Family in Boucherville
This particular project was about addressing different temperature needs across multiple spaces. Our client, a busy family with varying comfort preferences, wanted a heat pump that could seamlessly handle heating and cooling for three distinct zones in their home. We installed a 24,000 BTU SHARP BU Compressor paired with:
- Two 9,000 BTU indoor units for smaller rooms.
- One 12,000 BTU indoor unit for the main living area.
The challenge was to ensure that each zone had optimal air circulation, energy efficiency, and the consistent performance expected of SHARP products.
Why the SHARP BU Heat Pump Was the Perfect Choice
Triple Zone Versatility
The SHARP BU Heat Pump supports up to three zones, allowing the family to control temperatures independently in each area. With three distinct indoor units powered by one efficient 24,000 BTU compressor, the system is ideal for homes with diverse heating and cooling requirements.
Performance in Extreme Weather
Winters in Boucherville can be unforgiving, but this SHARP unit thrives even in temperatures as low as -27°C, ensuring that the family remains warm during the coldest days of the season. Thanks to the HOT GAS PIPE technology, heating performance remains consistent, and the external unit resists ice buildup during defrost cycles.
Key Features of the SHARP BU Triple Zone Heat Pump
Energy Efficiency
With a stellar 24.0 SEER rating, this heat pump reduces energy consumption significantly. The family can enjoy year-round comfort without worrying about high utility bills.
R-32 Refrigerant for Sustainability
The SHARP BU system uses R-32 refrigerant, known for its lower environmental impact. Compared to older refrigerants, R-32 has:
- A reduced Global Warming Potential (GWP).
- Superior heat transfer capabilities, improving energy efficiency.
- Easier recycling processes, aligning with modern sustainability goals.
WiFi-Enabled Control
The inclusion of WiFi connectivity allows the homeowners to control their system remotely. Whether adjusting temperatures via a smartphone app or scheduling heating and cooling for maximum efficiency, the SHARP BU offers unparalleled convenience.
Healthier Indoor Air with Plasmacluster Technology
One of the standout features of SHARP heat pumps is their Plasmacluster technology. This advanced air purification system releases positive and negative ions into the environment, mirroring nature's own air-cleaning processes. Benefits include:
- Pathogen Neutralization: Plasmacluster ions effectively reduce bacteria, viruses, and mold spores, ensuring a cleaner home environment.
- Odor Elimination: Say goodbye to pet smells, cooking odors, and other unpleasant indoor pollutants.
- Allergy Relief: Reduced allergens make the system ideal for families with respiratory sensitivities or seasonal allergies.
This innovative feature guarantees that each zone in the house not only feels comfortable but also promotes healthier living.
Perfect for Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Grant
Our SHARP BU Heat Pump installation is eligible for a $3,000 LogisVert Grant through Hydro-Québec. As a high-efficiency Energy Star®-certified system, this unit meets all the necessary requirements, helping families reduce upfront installation costs while enhancing their home's energy efficiency.
Seamless Installation with AirGreen’s Expertise
For this Boucherville project, we meticulously planned and executed the installation to ensure optimal performance and visual appeal. The sleek indoor units were strategically placed in the family’s living room, bedrooms, and home office to maximize airflow and comfort.
Exterior Unit Placement
The outdoor unit (model AE-X3M24BU) was installed with careful consideration of airflow and accessibility. With a compact design (33.47 x 13 x 27.94 inches), the unit blends seamlessly into the home’s exterior without compromising space.
Interior Units
The three indoor units (models AY-XPC9BU and AY-XPC12BU) were mounted in perfect positions to distribute air evenly. The modern, minimalist design of the SHARP indoor units complements any interior aesthetic, ensuring they look as good as they perform.
Sound Performance
The SHARP BU Heat Pump is whisper-quiet, with a sound pressure level of just 50 dB(A) for the outdoor unit. Even during peak performance, the family enjoys uninterrupted comfort without noise distractions.

What would it look like at your place?
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
Baseboards and electric furnaces turn 1 kWh of electricity into 1 kWh of heat. A heat pump delivers more: that is its COP. At Hydro-Québec’s rate D (11.142¢/kWh above 40 kWh a day, since 1 April 2026):
Hydro-Québec: a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months.
Estimate per kWh of heat, at the chosen temperature, using the certified COP from the product page. Taxes, access charge and backup heat not included.
Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.

Your own project, step by step
What to do, season by season
Three habits per season for this unit. They take a few minutes and prevent many calls.
- Clean the indoor unit's filters.
- Clear leaves and debris left on the outdoor unit by winter.
- Test cooling before the first hot days.
- Clean the filters more often when the unit runs a lot.
- Keep plants away from the outdoor unit.
- Check that no water drips from the indoor unit.
- Rake the leaves around the outdoor unit.
- Test heating before the first cold days.
- Book periodic maintenance before winter.
- Keep snow away from the stand and the front of the unit.
- Let the unit defrost: it is normal.
- Never hit the ice on the fins; call us if the unit stays iced up.
Is your home ready?
Check what applies at your place. A "no" is not a refusal: it is what we sort out during the estimate.
Four statements: true or false?
It all comes down to details you have just seen.
1. In heating mode, the outdoor unit can produce water.
During defrost cycles. That water must drain away without forming ice.
2. You pick the capacity with a simple square-footage rule.
Windows, insulation, orientation and how the room is used all count. Capacity is chosen on site.
3. A multi-zone connects several indoor heads to a single condenser.
One head per room, all on the same condenser. Each room keeps its own temperature.
4. The disconnect can sit behind the patio furniture.
It must stay accessible: it is what shuts the unit off for service.
