A Customized Installation in the Heart of Outremont
At AirGreen, we recently completed the installation of a SHARP BU DoubleZone wall-mounted heat pump in a classic home in the charming neighborhood of Outremont, Montréal. This project perfectly illustrates our commitment to highly personalized HVAC solutions, both technically and aesthetically. The installed system is a dual-zone model, combining two indoor wall units connected to a single high-performance outdoor unit, all using R32 refrigerant, which is both eco-friendly and energy-efficient.
Why Choose the SHARP BU Series for an Outremont Residence?
The selection of this SHARP BU multi-zone wall-mounted heat pump was no accident. In residential neighborhoods like Outremont, where homes often feature complex architectural layouts, it’s essential to choose a system capable of serving multiple rooms simultaneously while minimizing both visual and acoustic impact. Here are the main advantages of this series:
-
Multi-zone technology: Enables heating and cooling two separate rooms with a single outdoor compressor, reducing both space usage and energy consumption.
-
Exclusive Plasmacluster technology: Purifies indoor air by eliminating viruses, bacteria, mold, and odors. A major plus for families.
-
High energy performance: With a SEER of 25 and an HSPF of 12, this system offers substantial savings on energy bills.
-
Extreme cold operation down to -27 °C, thanks to SHARP’s patented “HOT GAS PIPE” technology, ensuring unmatched winter comfort in Montréal.
Installation Steps: A Model Project by AirGreen
Assessing the Client’s Needs
Every project starts with an on-site technical evaluation, where our HVAC specialists assess the space, the zones to be conditioned, and structural constraints. In this Outremont home, the owners wanted to independently control two areas: the main living room and an upstairs bedroom.
Technical Challenges Encountered
One of the main challenges was the lack of a direct route between the two indoor units and the exterior wall. The image provided shows our clean and effective approach to routing refrigerant and electrical lines through a drop ceiling. To reduce visual impact, we used a neat wall grommet and securely fastened the lines before finishing work.
Discreet Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit AE-X3M24BU, compact in size despite its power (24,000 BTU in cooling and 26,000 BTU in heating), was installed in a secluded corner of the backyard, away from windows for optimal acoustic comfort.

Technology Designed for Health and Comfort
Plasmacluster System
The integrated Plasmacluster technology in SHARP BU indoor units makes a real difference. This system releases positive and negative ions that purify the air, neutralizing pathogens and eliminating persistent odors. It’s especially appreciated by families concerned about indoor air quality or allergies.
Optimized Airflow
Each indoor unit provides airflow up to 752 CFM, ensuring even distribution throughout the room. Thanks to the Coanda airflow effect, the system intelligently directs warm or cool air along walls and ceilings, avoiding direct blasts on occupants.
Smart Home Compatibility
With built-in SHARP Wi-Fi integration, residents can control their heat pump remotely via smartphone and even sync it with Google Home or Alexa. This level of connected comfort is now a must-have in modern homes.
A Result That Exceeds Expectations
The installation of this SHARP BU DoubleZone wall-mounted heat pump in Outremont truly reflects our philosophy: providing our clients with a tailor-made HVAC experience, safe, durable, and aesthetically integrated into their living space.
The client, focused on design and comfort, particularly appreciated:
-
The discretion of the system, both indoors and out
-
The noticeable reduction in ambient noise
-
The precise control of temperature across two independent zones
-
The significantly improved air quality thanks to Plasmacluster
