Bringing Comfort to Every Corner with the Sharp BU TripleZone Heat Pump
At AirGreen, we understand that comfort isn't just about heating or cooling—it's about creating an ideal home environment that matches your lifestyle, preferences, and even the unique challenges of Quebec’s climate. That’s why, when we were called to install the Sharp BU TripleZone Heat Pump in Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève, we knew this was going to be a significant upgrade for the homeowner.
A Tailored Installation for Maximum Comfort
This particular installation involved the Sharp BU TripleZone model, designed to provide multi-zone comfort across different areas of the home. The 24,000 BTU compressor operates alongside three indoor units: two with 9,000 BTU capacity and one with 12,000 BTU, delivering the right temperature to each room, regardless of the season.
Why Choose the TripleZone System?
The Sharp BU TripleZone heat pump stands out for its ability to deliver energy-efficient heating even at extreme temperatures, down to -27°C. Here’s why this model is such an excellent fit for homes in Montreal and surrounding areas:
- Cooling Capacity: 24,000 BTU
- Heating Capacity: -27°C
- Zones: Three independent zones, with a maximum reach of three indoor units
- Dimensions (Exterior): 33.47 x 13 x 27.94 inches
- Efficiency: 24.0 SEER, ensuring substantial energy savings year-round
This TripleZone model not only provides efficient cooling during the summer but also guarantees warmth and comfort during Montreal’s icy winters, making it ideal for Quebec's varied climate.
Installation Details: Precision and Expertise
Our expert team at AirGreen was meticulous in the installation process, ensuring that every component of the system was perfectly aligned and securely connected. The outdoor unit, carrying the serial number AE-X3M24BU, was mounted securely on a reinforced base to withstand harsh weather. Inside, we placed the three indoor units at strategic locations to maximize air distribution:
- AY-XPC9BU: This unit was installed in the bedroom, delivering a comfortable sleeping environment.
- AY-XPC12BU: Installed in the living room, it provides adequate coverage for larger, communal areas.
- AY-XPC18BU: Placed in the basement, it ensures warmth in the often cooler lower levels of the house.
Why Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève?
The choice of location for each unit was not random. The homeowner had specific comfort zones in mind—bedrooms, living areas, and basement—and our installation plan was designed accordingly. The goal was to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the house, eliminating hot or cold spots. The Sharp BU system’s WiFi capabilities make it easy to control each zone independently, providing a level of customization that enhances daily comfort.
Achieving Peak Efficiency with R-32 Refrigerant
An essential aspect of this installation was the use of R-32 refrigerant, which aligns with modern environmental standards. Here’s why this refrigerant is a game-changer:
- Greater Efficiency: R-32 allows for better heat transfer, reducing energy consumption and lowering monthly utility bills.
- Eco-friendly: It has a much lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to older refrigerants, making it a more sustainable choice.
- Easier Recycling: R-32 is easier to recover and recycle, supporting greener HVAC practices.
Additional Benefits: LogisVert Grant Eligibility
One of the significant advantages of this Sharp BU model is its eligibility for the LogisVert Grant by Hydro-Québec, offering up to $3,000 in financial support for homeowners who opt for energy-efficient systems. This grant not only makes the installation more affordable but also incentivizes sustainable home improvements. It’s a win-win situation: better comfort and energy savings paired with financial aid from the government.
Key Features: Designed for Comfort and Longevity
Plasmacluster Technology
The Sharp BU heat pump boasts Plasmacluster Technology, which purifies the air by releasing ions that neutralize airborne pollutants, bacteria, and allergens. This function is particularly beneficial in urban settings like Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève, where indoor air quality can be affected by nearby traffic or other sources of pollution.
- Improved Air Quality: It reduces the presence of allergens, molds, and bacteria in the air, providing a healthier indoor environment.
- Odor Neutralization: The technology is also effective in eliminating unpleasant odors, making the home feel fresher and more inviting.
Self-Cleaning Mechanism
Sharp’s self-cleaning function sets this model apart from many other heat pumps. It reduces the need for frequent maintenance and keeps the system running efficiently over a longer period:
- Mold Prevention: By preventing mold build-up within the unit, it ensures cleaner air and reduces the risk of respiratory issues.
- Maintenance Savings: It decreases the need for regular cleanings, saving both time and money.
Performance and Sound Levels
Another highlight of this installation is the low noise level of the outdoor unit, which operates at just 50 dB(A). This makes it a discreet addition to the home, ensuring that the peace of residential life is maintained without the disturbance of loud machinery. The indoor units are also designed to distribute air gently, avoiding harsh drafts and making it suitable for year-round comfort.
Warranty and Extended Coverage
We believe in providing our customers with peace of mind, which is why the Sharp BU TripleZone comes with a comprehensive 10-year warranty on parts, labor, and the compressor. It is one of the best warranties available in the industry and ensures long-term satisfaction.
