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 Story of Efficiency, Innovation, and Impeccable Installation
In the quaint and scenic town of Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, AirGreen, a leading HVAC company, recently completed an installation that speaks volumes about our commitment to innovation, efficiency, and customer satisfaction. This project was not just about installing a heat pump; it was about enhancing the comfort and lifestyle of our esteemed client while ensuring environmental sustainability.
The Challenge: Aesthetics Meet Efficiency
Our latest project involved the installation of a top-of-the-line Sharp ZHU wall-mounted heat pump, renowned for its advanced features and superior efficiency. This installation was unique due to the client's specific requirements: the desire for a machine that combines cutting-edge technology with whisper-quiet operation, and most importantly, an installation that maintains the aesthetic integrity of their home.
Selecting the Sharp ZHU Heat Pump
- Model: Sharp ZHU
- Size: 18,000 BTU

Additionally, the model's adherence to environmental standards is evidenced by its Energy Star® certification.
Overcoming Installation Challenges with Precision
The installation site presented a challenge: our client wished for a solution that would leave the home's aesthetics unaltered. They were particularly concerned about avoiding any visible piping or electrical wiring that could mar the visual appeal of their space. Furthermore, the stipulation was clear – no subsequent painting or renovation work should be needed post-installation.
Our team rose to the occasion by meticulously planning the placement of both the indoor and outdoor units. The chosen spots ensured that the installation was not only functional but also harmonious with the home's existing decor. The strategic positioning meant that the pipework and wiring were effectively concealed, meeting the client's demand for a sleek, unobtrusive setup.

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.
