Installation of a Sharp ZU1 12,000 BTU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump in Varennes: Comfort, Technology, and Efficiency on the South Shore

A CVAC installation in Varennes that reflects our commitment to performance and customer satisfaction

At AirGreen, every installation is much more than just a technical project. It’s the result of personalized support, expert knowledge, and a constant focus on quality. Today, we’re sharing a recent project in Varennes, located on the South Shore of Montréal, where we installed a Sharp ZU1 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump—a unit known for its reliability, its exclusive Plasmacluster technology, and its outstanding performance in the harsh climate conditions of Québec.


A unit perfectly suited to our client’s needs

Why did we recommend the Sharp ZU1 to this client in Varennes?

This client was looking for a compact, quiet, energy-efficient solution capable of providing stable year-round comfort. The Sharp ZU1 12,000 BTU proved to be the perfect choice for several reasons:

  • Outstanding heating capacity even down to -27 °C, delivering 7,200 BTU/h at that extreme temperature.

  • Plasmacluster air purification technology, neutralizing viruses, bacteria, mold, and allergens in the indoor air.

  • R32 refrigerant, an eco-friendlier option with a lower global warming potential than R410A.

  • Impressive energy efficiency: SEER of 22 and HSPF of 11 (IV), enabling significant savings on heating and cooling costs.

  • Clean and compact design, with an ultra-quiet indoor sound level of just 23 dB, perfect for bedrooms or living areas.

A professional, clean installation — true to AirGreen standards

The Varennes-specific setup

Installed at a single-family home, the outdoor unit was mounted on an elevated wall bracket to avoid snow accumulation and extend equipment lifespan. We ensured:

  • Galvanized steel bracket installation for rust resistance, securely anchored to the concrete base.

  • Proper routing of the drain hose to prevent water pooling.

  • Refrigerant lines and electrical connections were neatly aligned along the wall, minimizing visual impact.

  • We checked noise levels and adjusted settings for optimal performance from day one.


Year-round comfort, even in winter

Thanks to its consistent performance in sub-zero temperatures, this wall-mounted heat pump provides reliable heating throughout winter. Unlike many standard units that stop working below -15 °C, the Sharp ZU1 continues to deliver 7,200 BTU/h at -27 °C—a critical feature in our Québec climate.

In addition, its Plasmacluster system continuously purifies the air, reducing odors, allergens, viruses, and bacteria—an essential bonus for families concerned about indoor air quality.


What our client in Varennes particularly appreciated

  • The discreet look of the indoor unit, installed in the living room for optimal temperature coverage.

  • The sleek and compact design of the outdoor unit, blending well with the exterior.

  • The simple control via remote, allowing for personalized comfort programming.

  • The quiet operation, even in high-power heating mode.
