The Perfect Solution for a Breath of Fresh Air
In the heart of Sainte-Catherine, on the picturesque South Shore, our team at AirGreen recently undertook an installation that not only transformed the ambiance of a home but also introduced a breath of fresh air, quite literally.
The Challenge: A Home in Need of Freshness
Every home has its unique challenges. For our customers in Sainte-Catherine, the issue was clear: their lovely living room, adjacent to the bustling kitchen, struggled with lingering odors. Whether it was the aromatic spices from a curry night or the smoky remnants of a weekend barbecue, the house took its sweet time to let go of these scents.
The Sharp TU: Not Just Any Heat Pump
Enter the Sharp TU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump. While many might see it as just another appliance, we saw it as the knight in shining armor for this household. Here's why:
-
Cooling and Heating Master: With a cooling capacity of 18,000 BTU and the ability to heat even at a chilly -20°C, this machine is a beast in all seasons.
-
Silent Yet Powerful: Operating at a mere 24 dB(A) indoors, it's quieter than a whispered conversation, ensuring comfort without the noise.
-
Energy Efficiency: Boasting an Energy Star® certification and an efficiency of 21.0 SEER, it's a green machine in every sense.
-
Warranty and Assurance: With a 10-10-10 warranty (compressor, parts, labor) and an included extended warranty, it's an investment for the long haul.
The AirGreen Touch: Installation with Precision
Our team approached this installation with one goal in mind: perfection. The process, though simple, was executed with meticulous attention to detail. From ensuring the interior dimensions (38 x 9.84 x 12.31) were seamlessly integrated into the living room's aesthetics to setting up the exterior unit (measuring 33.47 x 13 x 27.94) without a hitch, we ensured a smooth transition.
A Breath of Fresh Air: The Plasmacluster Technology
But what truly sets the Sharp TU apart is its Plasmacluster technology. This isn't just any air filtration system; it's air purification at its finest. Cooking odors, cigarette smoke, mold, pollen – nothing stands a chance against this powerhouse. Our customers were ecstatic, calling us weeks later, raving about how the Sharp TU had rejuvenated their home's atmosphere.
Why Choose AirGreen?

And with the added advantage of a $600 Provincial Grant that the Sharp TU is eligible for, there's never been a better time to upgrade with AirGreen.
In Conclusion
Every installation tells a story. In Sainte-Catherine, it was about a home rediscovering its freshness. With the Sharp TU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump, we've once again proven that at AirGreen, we don't just meet expectations; we exceed them.
The job tools
Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.
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.
How the job unfolds
The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.
We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
Model, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.
Floors and furniture protected, wall plate position marked level, wall opening located.
A single opening, with the slope the drain needs to flow outside.
Set on a stand raised above the snow, with the clearances the manufacturer requires.
Connected, insulated and protected. The opening is then sealed against water, cold air and insects.
A dedicated circuit and an accessible disconnect near the outdoor unit.
Leak test, vacuum, then start-up and a check of heating and cooling.
Remote, modes, filters: we show you the essentials before we leave.

What we check on a job like this one
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.
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.
Good habits, once the unit is in place
Six simple habits that keep the unit going. Your list stays on this device.
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.
The right pages, at the right time
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.
