SHARP CU Wall-Mounted Heat Pump | 15,000 BTU | R32 -30°C

A wall-mounted heat pump designed for Quebec's climate and the realities of Montreal

At AirGreen, we install wall-mounted heat pumps throughout Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and on both the North and South Shores . The SHARP CU 15,000 BTU R32 -30°C series is one of the models we regularly recommend when our clients are looking for a reliable, high-performing solution for winter that is eligible for provincial subsidies.

This specific model— the AY-XP15CU indoor unit and the AE-X15CU outdoor unit—was developed to provide stable heating down to -30°C , while maintaining excellent energy efficiency in cooling during the summer. It is ENERGY STAR® and ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate certified, an essential criterion for Quebec's climate.

Who is the SHARP CU 15,000 BTU intended for?

We frequently install it in:

• Condos of 700 to 1,000 sq ft in Montreal

• Duplex or triplex floors in Longueuil

• Single-family homes in Laval requiring a high-performing main zone

• Renovated homes on the North Shore with improved insulation

With a cooling capacity of 15,000 BTU and a heating capacity of 18,100 BTU at -8°C and 15,300 BTU at -15°C , it efficiently covers open spaces such as living room-kitchen or main living areas.

Technical performance and measurable energy efficiency

The SHARP CU 15,000 BTU is not just a simple wall-mounted air conditioner: it is a complete HVAC heat pump , designed to optimize electricity consumption throughout the year.

Key technical data

• Cooling capacity: 15,000 BTU

• Power at -8°C: 18,100 BTU

• Power at -15°C: 15,300 BTU

• Refrigerant: R-32 (more environmentally friendly and more efficient than R-410A)

• SEER2: 24.0

• HSPF2: 11.0

• EER2: 13.4

• COP at -8°C: 2.13

• Voltage: 220V

• Piping: 1/4 – 3/8 in

• Indoor noise level: 23 to 46 dB(A)

• Outdoor noise level: 50 dB(A)

In practice, this means:

• Effective air conditioning even during heat waves in Montreal.

• A heating system capable of significantly reducing the use of electric baseboard heaters.

• Optimized consumption thanks to the R-32 refrigerant , which improves thermal efficiency.

We often see a significant decrease in electricity bills for our customers in Laval and Boucherville after replacing an old R-410A system with this technology.

Coanda air diffusion technology: comfort without direct drafts

The CU series incorporates Coanda Airflow technology. In practice, air is projected along the ceiling in cooling mode, then redirected towards the floor in heating mode.

Real advantages on the ground:

• No sensation of a direct draft on the sofa.

• Improved thermal homogeneity in open areas.

• More stable comfort in homes with standard ceilings (8 to 9 feet).

Please note: unlike the CHU series, the CU series does not have a motion sensor or automatic left-right horizontal shutters . Horizontal adjustments are manual. This detail is important, and we always explain it to our clients during the quote process.

Multi-Space Function: ideal for open spaces

In several installations in Montreal, particularly in renovated condos with removed walls, we use the Multi Space function to promote air circulation to adjacent rooms.

Although effectiveness depends on the layout of the premises, we have achieved excellent results in:

• Open-concept condos in the city center

• Two-story houses with open stairwells

• Professional offices in Longueuil

This type of application often reduces the need to install a second unit.

Cold resistance: integrated Hot Gas Pipe system

Quebec experiences harsh winter conditions. The AE-X15CU outdoor unit is equipped with the Hot Gas Pipe system, which uses residual heat from the heating cycle to prevent excessive freezing.

Result :

• Fewer defrost cycles.

• Stable operation down to -30°C .

• Increased compressor protection.

We installed this model in windy homes in Mascouche and Blainville, and the performance remained constant even during periods of intense cold.

Simplified maintenance and AFTER CARE function

One point our technicians appreciate: the filter's accessibility. Unlike some models where several parts need to be disassembled, here:

• The filter is easily accessible.

• Quick vacuum cleaning.

• Simplified maintenance.

The AFTER CARE function automatically activates the fan after an air conditioning cycle to dry the inside of the unit. This reduces:

• The accumulation of moisture

• The smells

• The risks of mold

However, we recommend annual professional HVAC maintenance , especially in urban areas like Montreal where dust is more prevalent.

WiFi included and smart control

The SHARP CU 15,000 BTU includes built-in WiFi via the SHARP AIR app.

Useful features:

• Remote temperature control

• Timetable

• Energy consumption monitoring

• Filter cleaning alerts

For owners of duplexes or rental properties on the South Shore, this feature is particularly useful for remotely monitoring operations.

Dimensions and professional installation

Dimensions

• Indoor unit: 41.42 x 9.80 x 12.44 in

• Outdoor unit: 30.72 x 10.59 x 21.25 in

A standard AirGreen installation typically includes:

• 15 feet of insulated piping

• 15 feet of electrical wiring

• Wall mount or floor base

• Connection to the electrical panel (if capacity is available)

• Vacuum sealing and leak test

Each project in Montreal, Laval or Longueuil is evaluated individually to avoid any unpleasant surprises.

LogisVert subsidy and return on investment

This model is eligible for the LogisVert provincial subsidy, with an amount of up to $2,172 (updated November 2025).

In several cases handled by AirGreen:

• The processing time proved effective.

• The return on investment accelerated thanks to the reduction in heating costs.

We assist our clients with all administrative procedures related to subsidies.
