Technical Precision in Installation
Key to this project was the discreet installation of the Sharp ZU1, ensuring that all pipes and electrical wiring were meticulously concealed behind the unit. Our team took extra measures to route the necessary components through the walls, minimizing their visibility to preserve the room’s visual appeal. This approach not only met but exceeded the homeowner’s expectations, who was particularly pleased with the unobtrusive finish.

Advanced Features for Enhanced Comfort
The Sharp ZU1 is not just about heating and cooling; it is equipped with Plasmacluster technology for air purification, which is unique to Sharp products. This system eliminates airborne viruses, mold, and other contaminants, ensuring a healthier living environment. Additionally, the Coanda airflow control system optimizes air distribution, avoiding direct airflow to occupants and ensuring even temperature distribution throughout the room.
Financial and Environmental Benefits
This installation was made even more attractive by the eligibility for a $2,640 LogisVert Grant from Hydro-Québec, acknowledging the energy efficiency and environmental benefits of the Sharp ZU1. The use of R-32 freon also ensures a lower carbon footprint and aligns with global environmental goals.
