A high-performance wall-mounted heat pump in a residential home in Town of Mount Royal

This project reflects our ongoing commitment to providing customized, high-performance solutions to our clients in Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, and across the North Shore and South Shore.

The Sharp ZU1 model was the perfect fit.
