Combining Cutting-Edge HVAC Innovation with Montreal’s Climate Challenges
When it comes to reliable heating and cooling in Quebec's unpredictable climate, AirGreen consistently rises to the occasion. Our latest project in Kirkland involved the installation of a SHARP ZHU1 12,000 BTU ductless heat pump, a system that perfectly embodies efficiency, technology, and comfort. This is not just another installation; it’s a step towards greener, smarter, and more comfortable living.
Why the SHARP ZHU1 is the Perfect Fit for Kirkland Homes
The SHARP ZHU1 heat pump stands out as one of the most advanced solutions on the market today. Here’s why:
- Exceptional Energy Efficiency: With an outstanding 25.0 SEER rating, this mini split ensures optimal performance while keeping energy bills to a minimum.
- Extreme Cold Resistance: Designed for Quebec’s harsh winters, the SHARP ZHU1 continues to provide reliable heating even at temperatures as low as -27°C.
- Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: Utilizing the R-32 refrigerant, this unit reduces greenhouse gas emissions and boasts a lower global warming potential compared to traditional options.
- Silent Operation: With an interior sound level as low as 22 dB(A), the SHARP ZHU1 operates quietly, ensuring your comfort without disturbance.
The Installation Process: A Seamless Blend of Precision and Expertise
At AirGreen, we pride ourselves on delivering installations that are as smooth and efficient as the equipment we install. For this Kirkland home, we carefully planned every step to ensure optimal placement and functionality:
- Strategic Placement: The interior unit, measuring 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches, was installed in a central location to maximize airflow across the primary living spaces. The exterior compressor, compact yet powerful at 30.72 x 10.59 x 21.25 inches, was discreetly positioned to blend seamlessly with the property’s aesthetics.
- Optimized Connections: Using 1/4 - 3/8-inch piping, we ensured a secure and efficient connection between the indoor and outdoor units, optimizing refrigerant flow for peak performance.
- Wi-Fi Integration: The unit's built-in Wi-Fi was configured to enable the homeowner to monitor and adjust settings remotely, adding convenience and energy savings.
What Sets the SHARP ZHU1 Apart: Key Features and Benefits
Plasmacluster™ Air Purification Technology
This installation was not just about heating and cooling; it was about enhancing indoor air quality. The SHARP ZHU1 features Plasmacluster™ Technology, which:
- Neutralizes Airborne Viruses and Bacteria: Creates a healthier living environment.
- Eliminates Mold and Allergens: Perfect for households with allergy sufferers.
- Fights Odors: Keeps indoor spaces fresh and welcoming.
Coanda Airflow Control
To ensure uniform temperature distribution, the SHARP ZHU1 employs the Coanda Effect, which directs airflow along walls and ceilings. This technology minimizes drafts and maintains a consistent temperature throughout the home.
Quick Defrost Mode
Kirkland winters are unforgiving, but this heat pump’s Quick Defrost Mode ensures minimal downtime during frosty conditions, keeping the home warm and comfortable.
Maximizing Savings with Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert Grant
One of the standout aspects of this installation is the $2,268 LogisVert Grant offered by Hydro-Québec—the highest amount available for any 12,000 BTU system. This grant significantly reduces the upfront cost, making the SHARP ZHU1 not only an environmentally responsible choice but also a financially savvy investment.
