Installing the Sharp ZHU1: Attention to Detail and Expertise
Our team at AirGreen installed this unit with precision and care. This installation in Brossard required particular attention due to the layout of the home. The wall-mounted unit needed to blend seamlessly into the modern aesthetic of the space, and we ensured that the pipes were expertly concealed. The 1/4 - 3/8 inch piping was run through walls, keeping the appearance clean and professional.
One of the unique aspects of this installation was the quiet environment we maintained while working. The installation of this Sharp air conditioner is a multi-step process that involves meticulous planning to ensure optimal air distribution throughout the home. It also included adding extra insulation around the piping to enhance efficiency and minimize energy loss.
LogisVert Grant: A Great Investment
One of the standout benefits of this Sharp ZHU1 model is that it qualifies for the $2,268 LogisVert Grant from Hydro-Québec. This grant, aimed at helping homeowners reduce energy consumption, makes it more affordable for residents to invest in high-quality, energy-efficient systems like the Sharp ZHU1. Not only does the grant lower the upfront costs, but the long-term savings on energy bills make this an even better investment.
The Perfect Match for Quebec’s Climate
Quebec’s weather can be extreme, and homeowners need HVAC systems that can keep up. The Sharp ZHU1, with its heating capability down to -27°C, is built for this climate. It ensures warmth during freezing winters and cool air during sweltering summers, all while using less energy than many competing systems. The use of R-32 refrigerant also means the unit is environmentally friendly, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by a significant margin.
Sharp’s Innovative Technology
Sharp is known for its advanced technological features, and the ZHU1 doesn’t disappoint. The inclusion of Plasmacluster technology makes this unit a standout in air purification. This unique feature releases both positive and negative ions, which effectively remove airborne contaminants, viruses, mold, and allergens. For those sensitive to indoor air quality, this is an invaluable addition, ensuring a healthier home environment.
Nature Wing Fan Blades: Inspired by Nature
The Sharp ZHU1’s fan blades are designed with nature in mind. The Nature Wing design, inspired by the shape of dragonfly wings, improves airflow by up to 30% compared to traditional fan blades. This feature not only enhances performance but also helps to further reduce energy consumption.
For the outdoor unit, Sharp incorporates eagle and albatross wing designs. These specialized blades control air flow with greater efficiency, reducing the strain on the compressor and enhancing the longevity of the system.
User-Friendly Connectivity and Control
In today’s world, homeowners expect convenience, and the Sharp ZHU1 delivers with its WiFi connectivity. The system can be controlled remotely via an easy-to-use app, allowing users to adjust settings, monitor energy consumption, and receive alerts. Whether you're at home or away, managing your indoor climate has never been easier.
Additionally, the motion sensor technology included in the ZHU1 is incredibly useful for energy savings. The system can detect when no one is in the room and adjust the settings accordingly to avoid wasting energy.
Environmental Responsibility and Long-Term Savings
At AirGreen, we are dedicated to promoting environmentally responsible HVAC solutions, and the Sharp ZHU1 is an excellent example of this commitment. The R-32 refrigerant used in this model is not only more energy-efficient but also has a lower global warming potential than older refrigerants like R-22. This shift to more sustainable refrigerants ensures that homeowners are not only reducing their carbon footprint but also future-proofing their HVAC investment.
With rising energy costs, choosing a system like the Sharp ZHU1 means long-term savings on energy bills. The 25.0 SEER rating guarantees that this unit operates efficiently even in extreme conditions.
Smooth and Quiet Operation
No one wants an air conditioner that disrupts their home environment with loud noises. The Sharp ZHU1 is engineered to operate quietly. The 49.0 dB(A) outdoor sound level and the 22-44 dB(A) indoor sound range make this one of the quietest models on the market. This low noise output is especially appreciated in quieter residential areas like Brossard.
