SHARP ZU1 18000 BTU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump Installed in Pierrefonds – Reliable Comfort Even in Extreme Temperatures

A sleek and high-performance solution to tackle Pierrefonds’ harsh winters

At AirGreen, we recently completed the installation of a SHARP ZU1 18000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a charming residential property located in Pierrefonds, a vibrant neighbourhood in the western part of Montréal. This installation perfectly aligns with our mission to provide highly efficient, durable, and eco-friendly heating and air conditioning solutions to residents across Montréal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore.

The choice of the SHARP ZU1 model, equipped with R-32 refrigerant and the exclusive Plasmacluster technology, reflects our client’s focus on performance and quality. The unit was precisely installed above a patio door, a strategic position that allows for even air distribution while optimizing both space and aesthetics in the room.

Why is the SHARP ZU1 18000 BTU a smart choice for Quebec homes?

Extreme cold weather performance

Quebec’s climate demands total reliability. Thanks to its outstanding heating capacity down to -27°C, the SHARP ZU1 heat pump continues to provide consistent warmth, even during the harshest cold spells. At this extreme temperature, it can still generate up to 11,200 BTU/h, which surpasses the standards of many competing models on the market.

Energy efficiency and environmental responsibility

With a SEER rating up to 24 and an HSPF of 13, this heat pump ensures significant savings on electricity costs. The R-32 refrigerant, with its low global warming potential (GWP), greatly reduces environmental impact while delivering superior energy performance compared to traditional refrigerants.

Sleek design, optimized installation

In the Pierrefonds project, our team integrated the heat pump above a glass patio door, while preserving the natural brightness and architectural coherence of the interior. The presence of a low, flat ceiling required precise positioning and reinforced mounting to ensure safety and performance. The unit blends harmoniously with the décor and operates ultra-quietly.

Plasmacluster technology: continuous air purification

The SHARP ZU1 is more than just a heating or cooling system. Thanks to Plasmacluster technology – a SHARP-exclusive patented innovation – the unit releases positive and negative ions into the air, allowing it to:

• Neutralize viruses, bacteria, and mold

• Eliminate lingering odors, such as smoke or cooking smells

• Continuously improve indoor air quality, without the use of chemicals

This system is particularly well-suited for homes with children, seniors, or occupants suffering from allergies.
