This 24,000 BTU mini split is designed to meet the needs of homeowners who require both cooling and heating throughout the year. What makes this unit particularly special? Let’s break it down:

- Energy Efficiency: With a 22.0 SEER rating, this model ensures that the homeowner will see reduced energy costs year-round.
- Quiet Operation: At just 25 dB(A) indoors, the system is so quiet you might forget it’s even running.
These features alone make it a go-to choice for any homeowner looking for a reliable HVAC system, but there's so much more to appreciate in this installation.
Installation Details: Meeting the Challenge in Terrebonne
Our client in Terrebonne wanted a heat pump that could provide efficient cooling in the summer and powerful heating during the coldest days of winter. After assessing their needs, the Sharp ZU1 was the perfect match, especially given its ability to maintain heating capacity at -27°C. Our skilled technicians installed the unit with precision, ensuring it would perform optimally for years to come.
The outdoor unit, with dimensions of 33.47 x 13 x 27.94, was securely mounted in a strategic location to ensure maximum airflow and easy maintenance. We paid special attention to the placement of the drainage system, ensuring proper water flow to prevent any potential issues with freezing during the winter months.
Why the Sharp ZU1? Key Benefits for the Homeowner

-
Energy Star Certified: This system meets the Energy Star® Cold Climate standards, ensuring it operates at peak efficiency even in Quebec's frigid temperatures.
-

Plasmacluster Technology: Unique to Sharp products, this technology purifies the air by neutralizing bacteria, viruses, and mold, creating a healthier environment for the household.
The Installation Process: A Smooth and Efficient Operation
Our installation team arrived early in the day, ready to take on the task. Before installing the unit, we ensured that all pipes (sized at 1/4 and 3/8 inches) and electrical wiring were laid out carefully. This minimizes future wear and tear and optimizes the system’s long-term performance.
The indoor unit, measuring 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 inches, was installed in the living room, the primary gathering area in the home. We chose this location not just for its accessibility but also for its ability to distribute air evenly throughout the space. The COANDA airflow control, a Sharp-specific feature, ensures that air is directed along the walls and ceilings, providing a more uniform temperature without the discomfort of direct airflow hitting the occupants.
A Greener Choice: Environmentally Friendly R-32 Refrigerant
One of the standout features of the Sharp ZU1 is its use of R-32 refrigerant. This environmentally friendly refrigerant reduces greenhouse gases and has a much lower global warming potential than older refrigerants like R-22. It also enhances the system’s energy efficiency, cutting down on electricity usage by around 10%. This not only benefits the planet but also saves the homeowner money on their energy bills.
Customer Satisfaction and Warranty: Peace of Mind Included
At AirGreen, we understand that installing a new heat pump is a significant investment. That’s why we’re proud to offer a 10-year warranty on the compressor, parts, and labor with this installation. This ensures that the homeowner will enjoy peace of mind knowing their system is protected.
The Sharp ZU1 is not just a powerful and efficient machine—it’s built to last. With its anti-corrosive coating and multiple drainage holes on the outdoor unit, this heat pump is designed to withstand Quebec’s often extreme and unpredictable weather conditions.
The Final Touch: Optimizing Comfort with Smart Technology
The Sharp ZU1 is not only efficient but also smart. With WiFi connectivity and real-time monitoring through a smartphone app, the homeowner can track energy consumption, adjust settings, and even receive notifications if someone enters or leaves the house. This level of convenience allows for energy-saving measures to be implemented effortlessly, making the system both user-friendly and highly functional.
