A high-end HVAC installation in Boucherville combining performance, design, and air quality
At AirGreen, our mission is to combine indoor comfort, energy efficiency, and superior air quality. We recently completed a full installation of a SHARP ZU1 18000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a residence located in Boucherville, on the South Shore of Montréal. This project perfectly illustrates our technical expertise and our ability to offer customized solutions to residential clients in the Montréal, Longueuil, and Laval areas.
Why choose the SHARP ZU1 heat pump?
The SHARP ZU1 series strikes the perfect balance between performance, compact design, and innovative technology. The model AY-XP18ZU1 / AE-X18ZU1, selected for this installation, is ideal for single-family homes in Quebec, especially given its ability to operate efficiently even in the harshest winter conditions.
Here are its main technical specifications:
-
Cooling capacity: 18,000 BTU/h (min-max: 6,000 - 21,600 BTU/h)
-
Heating capacity: 21,600 BTU/h (min-max: 5,500 - 25,600 BTU/h)
-
Performance at -27°C: maintains 11,500 BTU/h – ideal for Quebec’s freezing winters
-
Eco-friendly refrigerant: R-32, environmentally responsible
-
Energy efficiency: SEER 24 / HSPF up to 13
-
Exclusive technology: Plasmacluster air purification
-
Compact wall-mounted design: 41" wide indoor unit with a sleek, modern look
This ductless wall-mounted heat pump is perfectly suited for homeowners seeking both heating and cooling in a single system, without compromising on indoor aesthetics.
Installation steps in Boucherville: expertise, discretion, and efficiency
For this residential installation, our team of certified AirGreen installers visited the site to plan and optimize the placement of the wall unit, which needed to be integrated into a tight space between two utility walls.
Space assessment and strategic positioning
The indoor unit was installed on a dark grey central wall, at the ideal height to ensure even air distribution. Access to this wall was slightly limited due to a wall-mounted intercom and electrical switches. Our technicians carefully mounted the SHARP ZU1 unit without disrupting any of the existing systems.
Exterior work and wall coring
We carried out a full wall core drill through the load-bearing wall to pass the refrigerant lines, condensate drain, and electrical wiring—all while ensuring perfect airtightness and moisture sealing.
Dedicated electrical connection
The heat pump was connected to a dedicated 25 A breaker, in full compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications. An outdoor disconnect box with safety shut-off was installed near the outdoor condenser unit, allowing for easy access during maintenance or emergencies.
What makes the SHARP ZU1 stand out: comfort, health, and savings
Plasmacluster technology: for cleaner, healthier air
Exclusive to SHARP, Plasmacluster technology uses hydrogen and oxygen ions to neutralize airborne bacteria, viruses, mold, and allergens. This creates a cleaner, safer atmosphere for families, especially those with children, seniors, or pets.
High-performance heating mode down to -27°C
Thanks to its high-capacity compressor and optimized heat exchanger, this heat pump continues to deliver excellent heating performance even in the depth of winter. It’s one of the few wall-mounted heat pumps on the Quebec market certified to function efficiently down to -27°C.
Quiet and energy-efficient
The indoor unit’s sound level doesn’t exceed 28 dB in low-speed mode, making it nearly silent in operation. The inverter compressor (Inverter DC) constantly adjusts its output, allowing for significant energy savings while maintaining a steady, comfortable temperature.
Grants and ROI: the subsidized heat pump
The installation of this SHARP ZU1 18000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in Boucherville qualifies for a LogisVert grant from Hydro-Québec, which can reach up to $1,704, depending on eligibility. This financial assistance significantly lowers the upfront cost and accelerates the return on investment for the homeowner.
