An elegant and efficient integration in the heart of a Laval home
At AirGreen, we recently completed the installation of a SHARP ZU1 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in a lovely Laval residence, and this project perfectly illustrates our approach: technical expertise, discreet installation, and long-lasting comfort. The unit was strategically placed in the living room, above a decorative shelf, providing optimal thermal performance while blending seamlessly with the interior decor.
Why the SHARP ZU1 series is ideal for Laval
The SHARP ZU1 12,000 BTU stands out thanks to its proven reliability in the harsh climate conditions we experience here in Québec—especially in Laval, where winters can be unforgiving. This model is designed to heat efficiently down to -27 °C, making it perfect for Québec homes seeking performance and energy savings.

An optimized installation in a compact space
For this Laval project, our team carefully assessed the living room’s wall space to install the indoor unit between a vintage wall clock and a decorative shelf. The elevated placement, near the ceiling, allowed us to maximize the distribution of warm air in winter and cool air in summer, all while preserving the aesthetic of the space. The installation was completed with a discreet conduit leading to the outdoor unit, positioned on the side of the house and protected from the elements.
SHARP’s technological advantage: Plasmacluster air purification
Unlike many standard wall-mounted heat pumps, the SHARP ZU1 model is equipped with exclusive Plasmacluster technology, which purifies the room’s air by emitting positive and negative ions that:
-
Neutralize airborne viruses and bacteria
-
Eliminate mold spores
-
Reduce allergens
-
Eliminate stubborn odors like tobacco smoke or cooking smells
This function is particularly appreciated in Laval homes where indoor air quality is essential—especially for families with children or individuals with allergies.

Customer feedback
The homeowner, a long-time Laval resident, was looking to replace an old, inefficient, and noisy wall-mounted AC. From the very first minutes of using the SHARP ZU1, she was impressed by the silent operation and the even, consistent heating, even when outdoor temperatures were extremely low. She particularly appreciated the automatic energy-saving mode, which adjusts output once the desired temperature is reached.
