SHARP MULTI-ZONE
AIRGREEN × SHARP · MULTI-ZONE
Sharp multi-zone: one unit outside, two or three warm rooms.
Three systems in the catalogue. The CU multi-zone (AE-X3M24CU) heats down to -30°C according to Sharp and still gives 13,000 BTU/h at that cold with three 12,000 heads. The BU heats down to -27°C. Both get $3,000 in LogisVert. The TU dual-zone, on R-410A, isn’t on the list. We install them in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the South Shore and the North Shore.
