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.

Installation Details: Setting the Standard for Quality and Precision
Our installation team arrived in Saint-Constant equipped with everything necessary to ensure a seamless and efficient process. The home required a system capable of managing three distinct areas with precision temperature control. The Sharp BU Triple Zone Heat Pump was the perfect fit due to its zone-based control system.
We strategically placed the exterior compressor in a discreet area of the backyard, ensuring that its operation, though quiet at 50 dB(A), wouldn’t disturb the homeowners or neighbors. The indoor units were carefully installed in key areas of the home:
- Unit 1 (9,000 BTU): Installed in the main living room to provide consistent cooling and heating where the family spends most of their time.
- Unit 2 (9,000 BTU): Placed in the master bedroom to ensure the perfect temperature for restful sleep.
- Unit 3 (12,000 BTU): Installed in the family room where additional capacity was needed for larger gatherings and activities.
A Heat Pump Designed for Canadian Winters
One of the most remarkable aspects of the Sharp BU model is its ability to operate efficiently even in the most extreme weather conditions. Winter temperatures in Quebec can drop significantly, making heating a priority for homeowners. The Sharp BU system’s heating capacity of -27°C ensures that even on the coldest days, this system performs optimally.
The patented “HOT GAS PIPE” system is another standout feature. This innovative technology allows the unit to prevent ice formation on the outdoor compressor during defrosting, ensuring continuous operation and reducing energy waste. This makes it not only ideal for the fluctuating Quebec climate but also a reliable long-term investment for homeowners seeking both comfort and energy efficiency.
R-32 Refrigerant: A Green Choice
In addition to its energy-saving capabilities, the Sharp BU Triple Zone Heat Pump utilizes R-32 refrigerant, which has a significantly lower global warming potential (GWP) than older refrigerants like R-22 or R-410A. This environmentally friendly refrigerant contributes to sustainable heating and cooling solutions while offering superior energy efficiency. Homeowners can rest easy knowing that their carbon footprint is minimized with this installation.
Grants and Rebates: Making Efficiency Affordable
A key advantage for homeowners investing in a Sharp BU Triple Zone Heat Pump is the variety of government grants and rebates available. For this installation in Saint-Constant, the homeowners qualified for multiple grants:
- LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec: $3,000
- Federal Grants: Up to $5,000
- Provincial Grants: Additional $3,000
With these financial incentives, upgrading to a high-efficiency system like the Sharp BU is more affordable than ever. These programs are designed to encourage homeowners to adopt eco-friendly solutions, making this a win-win for both the environment and household budgets.
Plasmacluster: Innovation for Clean Air
Another impressive feature of this model is the Plasmacluster technology, which purifies the air by generating positive and negative ions to neutralize bacteria, viruses, molds, and allergens. For homeowners concerned about indoor air quality, this advanced technology provides continuous air purification. The family in Saint-Constant can now enjoy cleaner, fresher air, significantly reducing common allergens and improving overall health.
The Coanda Effect: Superior Air Distribution
This installation also benefits from Sharp’s unique Coanda Effect, ensuring that air is distributed evenly throughout each zone without directly blowing on occupants. This advanced air circulation technique eliminates the common discomfort of traditional systems, making the indoor environment more pleasant and energy-efficient. By guiding the airflow along ceilings and walls, this system ensures consistent temperature control throughout the home.
WiFi-Enabled Control: Convenience at Your Fingertips
With the built-in WiFi capabilities, the homeowners can easily control their Sharp heat pump from their smartphone or tablet. Whether they’re adjusting the temperature from the couch or programming settings while away from home, this feature offers unparalleled convenience. Additionally, the WiFi system integrates seamlessly with smart home technology, making the Sharp BU heat pump a perfect addition for modern, connected homes.

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.
