A Cutting-Edge Installation to Beat Delson’s Tough Weather
At AirGreen, we take pride in bringing the latest HVAC technology to homes across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and the surrounding areas. One of our most recent and exciting projects took place in the charming town of Delson, where we installed a state-of-the-art SHARP ZU1 Mini Split Heat Pump. This advanced unit, boasting 18,000 BTU of cooling power and exceptional heating capabilities down to -27°C, is a perfect fit for both sizzling summer days and frigid Canadian winters. Here's how we transformed this space into a comfortable and energy-efficient environment.
The Heart of the Project: SHARP ZU1 Heat Pump
Our team installed the SHARP ZU1, a unit known not just for its impressive energy efficiency but also for its sleek and modern design. This heat pump has a 24.0 SEER rating, making it one of the most efficient models available today. Here’s what makes the SHARP ZU1 stand out:
- Whisper-Quiet Operation: The indoor unit operates at a super-quiet 25 dB(A) on its lowest setting, ensuring that the comfort it brings is never disrupted by unnecessary noise.
- Powerful Heating: Even at -27°C, the ZU1 delivers reliable warmth, perfect for our harsh winters.
- Energy Star® Certified: This machine is Energy Star® approved, meaning homeowners can keep energy bills low without sacrificing comfort.
Unique Backstory: The Challenge of Delson’s Climate
Delson is a beautiful community known for its vibrant summers and punishingly cold winters. Our client was facing the yearly struggle of keeping their home cool in the heat and warm in the dead of winter. This led us to the SHARP ZU1, which has been engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions, thanks to features like the R-32 refrigerant, which ensures efficient heat exchange even in sub-zero temperatures.
A Closer Look at the Installation Process
Our expert team started by assessing the best location for the indoor and outdoor units to optimize airflow and minimize noise. The indoor unit, with its dimensions of 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches, fits seamlessly into the home’s interior design, while the outdoor unit, measuring 33.47 x 13 x 27.94 inches, was installed securely to withstand harsh weather conditions.
Piping Details: We used high-quality pipes, measuring 1/4 - 3/8 inches, and ensured proper insulation to prevent energy loss and condensation issues.
Freon Type: The environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant was a deliberate choice, not only for its superior performance but also for its lower environmental impact compared to older refrigerants.
Admissible for LogisVert’s Highest Grant!
One of the biggest wins for our client was that the SHARP ZU1 model qualifies for the highest LogisVert grant of $2,640, provided by Hydro-Québec for heat pumps in this category. This grant not only makes the installation more affordable but also highlights the model's top-tier energy efficiency.
Additional Features: Tech Meets Comfort
This installation is more than just functional; it’s smart. With integrated WiFi, the homeowner can control the unit from their smartphone, adjusting the temperature even when they're away from home. The system also boasts a 10-10-10 warranty: 10 years on the compressor, parts, and labor, offering peace of mind and long-term reliability.
The Science of Comfort: Plasmacluster Technology
SHARP's proprietary Plasmacluster technology sets this unit apart, purifying the air by releasing positive and negative ions that eliminate airborne bacteria, viruses, and allergens. This feature is a game-changer for homes where air quality is a top concern. It doesn’t just heat and cool; it cleans and enhances the air, making every breath healthier.
