At AirGreen, we recently completed the installation of a SHARP ZU1 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in the residential sector of Sainte-Rose, a peaceful neighborhood in Laval known for its family homes and harsh winters. This project is a great example of our commitment to providing durable, high-performance HVAC solutions tailored to the Québec climate. With our expertise, we delivered a solution that is both efficient and cost-effective, while ensuring a fully professional installation from start to finish.
Why choose the SHARP ZU1 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump?
The SHARP ZU1 12,000 BTU is a next-generation ductless wall-mounted heat pump offering several key advantages:

SHARP’s exclusive Plasmacluster technology: it purifies the air by removing viruses, bacteria, allergens, and odors — a real asset for families who care about indoor air quality.
-
Reliable performance down to -27°C, which is essential for the freezing winters we experience in Laval, the North Shore, and Montréal.
-
R-32 refrigerant: environmentally friendly, it ensures excellent thermal transfer while minimizing environmental impact.
-
Remarkable energy efficiency: with a SEER of 21/22 and HSPF up to 12.5, it offers maximum energy savings in both heating and cooling modes.
-
Compact and sleek design: perfect for discreetly fitting into residential spaces, even when space is limited.
Installation overview: a precise and tailored approach
Location: Family residence in Sainte-Rose, Laval
The home, located just minutes from Old Sainte-Rose, needed a compact yet powerful heat pump to provide year-round thermal comfort. The client also wanted a reliable, quiet, and discreet system that would qualify for available subsidies.
Elevated wall-mount installation
As seen in the image, we installed the SHARP ZU1’s outdoor unit on an elevated aluminum wall-mount support, secured with pressure-treated wooden beams anchored into the ground with a protective blue foam barrier. This setup ensures:
-
Effective protection against snow accumulation and standing water.
-
Better frost dissipation during defrost cycles.
-
Improved system lifespan thanks to optimized airflow around the compressor.
Clean connection and system startup
Our certified technicians:
-
Positioned the indoor unit strategically to optimize natural air circulation.
-
Used insulated R32 refrigerant piping, ensuring optimal performance and compliance with current standards.
-
Configured the unit with an intuitive remote control, allowing the client to manage temperature, airflow modes, and air purification functions.
A project supported by current grant programs
For this installation, our client was eligible for the Hydro-Québec LogisVert program, thanks to the model’s energy certification and proven efficiency. The installed heat pump is eligible for a subsidy of up to $1,245, a significant advantage to reduce the overall project cost.
Client testimonial: instant satisfaction
The homeowner shared with us:
“I was looking for an affordable, reliable, and eco-friendly solution to replace my old electric heating system. The SHARP ZU1 heat pump is quiet, efficient, and I can definitely feel the difference in air quality. And AirGreen handled everything professionally from start to finish.”
Key benefits of the SHARP ZU1 Series
Plasmacluster: more than just temperature, it’s about air purity
The patented Plasmacluster technology is a real health asset. It:
-
Eliminates airborne viruses in under 10 minutes.

Neutralizes persistent odors (tobacco, pets, cooking).
-
Prevents mold growth inside the unit.
Comfort in extreme cold
Even at -27°C, the heat pump can still deliver up to 7,200 BTU/h of heat, where most other systems stop functioning effectively. This ensures consistent and comfortable heating throughout Québec’s long winters.
Smart energy savings
The SHARP ZU1 is equipped with inverter technology and intelligent modulation:
-
Fast start-up to quickly reach the desired temperature.
-
Maintains stable indoor temperature without fluctuations.
-
