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.
A Harmonious Blend of Technology and Comfort
In the serene neighborhood of Ahuntsic-Cartierville, AirGreen recently accomplished what can only be described as a seamless integration of modern technology and homeowner comfort through the installation of a state-of-the-art Sharp ZHU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump. This installation not only exemplifies our commitment to delivering top-notch HVAC solutions but also showcases the innovative features of the Sharp ZHU model, a choice that harmonizes with the lifestyles and preferences of Montreal residents.
Understanding the Heart of the Installation
The story behind every installation is unique, and the Sharp ZHU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump in Ahuntsic-Cartierville is no exception. At the core of this successful installation is the homeowner's desire for a high-efficiency, feature-rich heat pump that aligns with future environmental regulations and personal comfort. The Sharp ZHU, with its impressive 18,000 BTU size and an array of modern functionalities such as WiFi connectivity, air purification, and a movement sensor, perfectly matched the homeowner's requirements.
Why the Sharp ZHU Stands Out
-
R-32 Refrigerant: At the forefront of its many innovative features is the R-32 refrigerant, which sets the Sharp ZHU apart from its contemporaries. This choice of refrigerant not only ensures compliance with the federal government's 2025 regulations but also significantly reduces the heat pump's environmental impact.
-
Energy Star® Certification and Exceptional Efficiency: With a 25.0 SEER efficiency rating and Energy Star® certification, the Sharp ZHU model exemplifies energy conservation while providing optimal heating and cooling performance.
-
Comprehensive Warranty and Advanced Features: The inclusion of a 10-10-10 extended warranty, along with features such as WiFi, air purification, and movement sensors, ensures peace of mind and a comfortable living environment for the homeowner.
A Simple Yet Significant Installation
This installation story also highlights the simplicity and professionalism AirGreen brings to every project. The homeowner's request to have the heat pump installed on the same wall as the compressor presented an opportunity for our team to demonstrate efficiency and neatness. By utilizing minimal pipes and electrical wiring, we were able to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the property while ensuring a swift and unobtrusive installation process.

And at your place?
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.
