Each number is a point we check on site. Switch between summer and winter to watch air and heat move.

Generic diagram: wall-mounted heat pump, indoor and outdoor units

In summer, the outdoor unit rejects the house's heat outside.

Generic illustration of this type of installation, not a survey of this job site. Tap a number.

  1. Mounted level on a wall plate, high enough for the air to reach the whole room, with enough space around it to slide the filters out easily.

  2. The refrigerant lines, the communication cable and the drain go through the wall in a single opening, sealed against water, cold air and insects.

  3. Two insulated copper pipes connect the two units. Outside, a line cover can protect them from sun, knocks and weather.

  4. A shut-off switch near the outdoor unit isolates it safely for service. It must stay accessible at all times.

  5. The compressor and the fan. In heating mode it captures heat from the outdoor air, even in winter, and moves it inside.

  6. On the ground or on the wall, it keeps the unit above accumulated snow. The unit stays clear and defrost water can drain away.

  7. The fan needs to blow freely. Storage, a fence or a wall too close, and efficiency drops while noise goes up.

A High-Efficiency Heat Pump: Tailored for Montreal's Unique Climate

At AirGreen, we take pride in transforming home comfort for our clients, and our recent installation of a Sharp BU TripleZone heat pump in Rosemont, Montreal, is a prime example of our dedication to excellence. This installation reflects the best in HVAC technology, offering advanced features, energy efficiency, and comfort for all seasons.

Why Choose the Sharp BU TripleZone Heat Pump?

The Sharp BU TripleZone heat pump is built to provide tailored comfort across different zones of a home. It’s designed for Montreal’s fluctuating weather, ensuring warmth during harsh winters and refreshing coolness in the hot summers. The model we installed is a 24,000 BTU compressor, which is connected to three indoor units, each with a 9,000 BTU capacity. This configuration is optimal for homes with multiple rooms requiring independent temperature control, providing consistent comfort throughout the residence.

Key Features of the Sharp BU TripleZone

Energy Efficiency Meets High Performance

Installation Details in Rosemont

Tailored Installation to Maximize Performance

The Rosemont project was particularly interesting due to the specific requirements of the building’s layout. The installation involved positioning the Sharp BU TripleZone’s outdoor compressor on a sturdy platform on the roof. This approach ensured the unit was elevated, offering optimal airflow and minimizing exposure to potential obstructions.

Each of the three indoor units was strategically placed:

  • First Unit: Installed in the living room for a cool and comfortable main area.
  • Second Unit: Located in the master bedroom to maintain a pleasant sleeping environment.
  • Third Unit: Positioned in the home office, ensuring a comfortable work-from-home setup.

These zones were chosen based on the homeowner's needs for independent climate control in different parts of the home, offering flexibility and personalized comfort.

The LogisVert Grant: An Added Bonus

Residents of Quebec can benefit from the LogisVert grant provided by Hydro-Québec. This $3,000 grant is available for homes upgrading to energy-efficient systems like the Sharp BU TripleZone heat pump. Our client in Rosemont qualified for this grant, reducing the overall cost of the installation and making the upgrade more affordable.

Unique Technologies for Ultimate Comfort

Plasmacluster: Improving Indoor Air Quality

The Plasmacluster technology, exclusive to Sharp, is integrated into the TripleZone model to enhance indoor air quality. This technology emits positive and negative ions that neutralize airborne bacteria, viruses, and allergens. Not only does it ensure a healthier indoor environment, but it also helps eliminate odors, keeping the air fresh and clean.

Coanda Effect: Even Airflow Distribution

One of the standout features of this heat pump is the Coanda effect, which allows for even distribution of air across the room. Unlike traditional systems that direct air in one direction, this technology ensures that conditioned air travels along walls and ceilings, avoiding direct drafts on occupants. The result is a more natural and comfortable indoor climate.

Hot Gas Pipe System: Superior Winter Performance

Montreal winters can be brutal, but the Hot Gas Pipe system of the Sharp BU ensures uninterrupted performance even during the coldest days. This technology retains residual heat from defrost cycles, preventing ice buildup on the outdoor unit and maximizing efficiency even at temperatures as low as -27°C.

The steps

The big day, step by step

The main steps of this kind of job at AirGreen. Every house has its quirks: the estimate brings them out.

Step 1 of 9The on-site estimate

We look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.

  1. The on-site estimateWe look at the room, the outside wall, the line route and where the outdoor unit will go. That is where the capacity gets chosen.
  2. The quoteModel, capacity and price, in writing. We also check whether the model qualifies for assistance programs.

Your numbers

What would it look like at your place?

Two quick checks with real numbers: what heat costs, and what your current heaters add up to in BTU/h.

Before / afterThe cost of the same heat

Baseboards and electric furnaces turn 1 kWh of electricity into 1 kWh of heat. A heat pump delivers more: that is its COP. At Hydro-Québec’s rate D (11.142¢/kWh above 40 kWh a day, since 1 April 2026):

Before · baseboards11.142¢/kWh
After · heat pump–

Hydro-Québec: a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months.

Estimate per kWh of heat, at the chosen temperature, using the certified COP from the product page. Taxes, access charge and backup heat not included.

Size checkYour baseboards, in BTU/h
–BTU/h of installed electric heat

    Conversion: 1 W = 3.412 BTU/h. An indication, not a load calculation: baseboards and furnaces are often stronger than the real need, and they can stay as backup. AirGreen confirms the capacity on site.

    Frequently asked questions

    What people ask us about this kind of work

    12 questions
    Does a wall-mounted heat pump heat in winter?
    Yes, it heats and cools. Its capacity drops in very cold weather; the operating range depends on the model and is listed on its spec sheet.
    Wall-mounted or multi-zone: how do I choose?
    One wall head and one condenser outside: the direct solution for a room or an open area. For two to five rooms, a multi-zone puts one head in each room on a single condenser.
    Where does the outdoor unit go?
    Where it stays above the snow, clear and accessible, away from walkways. We decide it with you during the estimate.
    Are there grants?
    Depending on the model and your situation, assistance programs may apply, including Hydro-Québec's LogisVert. AirGreen checks the model number before quoting an amount. See the grants.
    Do I need a permit?
    Rules vary from city to city: location, distances, noise. See permits and by-laws, and we check for your address.
    How cold can it heat?
    It depends on the model. According to Hydro-Québec, newer models work down to a temperature between −15 °C and −25 °C, and some cold-climate models are certified lower. The minimum temperature is on each unit's spec sheet.
    How much can I save?
    Hydro-Québec says a heat pump can be up to three times more efficient than baseboards for heating in the colder months. The result depends on the house, the climate and how it is used.
    How is the LogisVert assistance calculated?
    For ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified heat pumps, Hydro-Québec lists assistance of $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heating capacity at −8 °C. AirGreen checks the exact model before quoting an amount; only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. See the grants.
    Is it noisy?
    The sound level depends on the model and is listed in decibels on each unit's spec sheet. Location matters too: when possible, we avoid putting the outdoor unit under a bedroom window.
    The outdoor unit is covered in ice: is that normal?
    Some frost is: the unit runs defrost cycles. Never hit the ice. If the unit stays iced up or stops heating, call us.
    Does AirGreen hold the required licences?
    Yes. AirGreen holds RBQ licence 5645-9605-01, subclasses 15.8 Ventilation, 15.10 Refrigeration and 16 Electricity.
    Is the estimate free?
    Yes. The on-site estimate is free and the quote follows within 24 hours. Book my free estimate.
