Everything we have written about this system.

The Future of Home Heating and Air Conditioning Redefined by the SHARP BU Triple Zone Heat Pump.

In a world where home comfort and energy efficiency are more important than ever, AirGreen is at the forefront of innovation with the introduction of the SHARP BU Triple Zone Heat Pump. Specifically designed to meet the diverse needs of residents in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, South Shore, and North Shore, this heat pump embodies a perfect fusion of cutting-edge technology and environmental care.

Plasmacluster Innovation: A Revolution for Indoor Air Quality

Plasmacluster: Purified Air Every Day

SHARP’s exclusive Plasmacluster technology is at the heart of the SHARP BU Triple Zone Heat Pump. This innovative technology generates positive and negative ions similar to those found in nature, providing an unprecedented indoor air purification solution. These ions effectively neutralize bacteria, viruses, mold, and allergens, ensuring a healthy home environment for you and your family.

  • Neutralization of pathogens: Plasmacluster ions destroy the molecular structures of airborne viruses and bacteria, reducing the risk of disease transmission.
  • Odor elimination: This technology also targets molecules responsible for unpleasant odors, such as tobacco, pets, or cooking smells, leaving your home fresh and welcoming.

Impact on Health and Well-being

Purified air has a direct impact on the health and well-being of household occupants. By reducing allergens and contaminants, people suffering from allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues can experience a significant improvement in their quality of life.

R-32 Refrigerant: A Giant Leap Toward Sustainability

R-32: The Refrigerant of the Future

The choice of R-32 refrigerant for the SHARP BU Triple Zone Heat Pump reflects SHARP’s commitment to the environment. This next-generation refrigerant offers several advantages over traditional options like R-22 or R-410A:

  • Increased energy efficiency: R-32 enables more efficient heat transfer, resulting in significant reductions in energy consumption and associated costs.
  • Reduced environmental impact: With a much lower global warming potential (GWP) than traditional refrigerants, R-32 helps reduce the ecological footprint of heating and cooling systems.
  • Ease of recycling: R-32 is easier to recover and recycle, promoting sustainable practices in the HVAC industry.

The Coanda Effect: A Revolution in Air Conditioning Comfort

At the core of SHARP technology is the Coanda effect, a phenomenon that revolutionizes air distribution in living spaces. Inspired by the natural tendency of fluids to follow the curve of nearby surfaces, this effect allows the SHARP BU Triple Zone Heat Pump to direct conditioned air along walls and ceilings, ensuring even temperature distribution. This unique process avoids the discomfort of direct airflow on room occupants, creating a more comfortable and pleasant indoor environment.

  • Even air distribution: Thanks to the Coanda effect, the heat pump ensures a uniform distribution of warm or cool air, eliminating hot and cold spots for optimal comfort in every corner of the room.
  • Avoids direct drafts: Air is directed so it does not blow directly on people, improving overall comfort and avoiding the discomfort associated with traditional air conditioning systems.

"HOT GAS PIPE" System (Patented): Optimal Performance in Cold Weather

The "HOT GAS PIPE" system, exclusive to SHARP, is specially designed to deliver exceptional heating performance even in the harshest winter conditions. Capable of operating efficiently down to -27°C, this system uses residual heat from the defrosting process to prevent ice formation on the outdoor unit, ensuring uninterrupted and efficient operation.

  • Efficiency at low temperatures: Thanks to this technology, the SHARP heat pump outperforms competing models in cold climates, providing uncompromised comfort throughout the winter.
  • Energy savings: By minimizing heat loss during defrosting, the "HOT GAS PIPE" system contributes to better energy efficiency and savings on heating costs.

Self-Cleaning Function: Unprecedented Air Quality

One of the most remarkable features of the SHARP BU Triple Zone Heat Pump is its ability to maintain exceptional indoor air quality through its self-cleaning function. Harnessing the power of Plasmacluster ions, this function prevents mold growth inside the unit, thereby reducing unpleasant odors and allergens in the air.

  • Mold prevention: The self-cleaning function regularly initiates a purification cycle, preventing mold formation and ensuring healthier air.
  • Reduced maintenance needs: By minimizing mold growth, this function extends the unit’s lifespan and decreases the frequency of maintenance interventions, providing users with added peace of mind.

Conclusion

The AirGreen SHARP BU Triple Zone Heat Pump stands as a cutting-edge solution in the world of home heating and air conditioning, marking a decisive shift toward an era of domestic comfort and environmental responsibility. With revolutionary technologies such as Plasmacluster for unparalleled indoor air quality, the use of R-32 refrigerant for energy efficiency and reduced ecological footprint, and the Coanda effect for optimized air distribution, this heat pump redefines industry standards. Moreover, its "HOT GAS PIPE" system ensures exceptional performance even in the most demanding climatic conditions, while the self-cleaning function promises air quality maintained without a trace of mold. By combining innovation, performance, and sustainability, the SHARP BU Triple Zone Heat Pump stands as the ultimate choice for those seeking to blend modern comfort with environmental respect in their homes. Its positive impact on quality of life and the ecosystem makes it a benchmark for future generations, reflecting AirGreen’s commitment to a greener, healthier future.

19 · Questions

What people ask us about multi-zone systems.

Can I heat one room and cool another at the same time?

No. On a multi-zone system like this one, every head works in the same mode, heating or cooling. Each room still keeps its own set temperature.

What happens when every room calls for heat?

They share the outdoor unit’s capacity: 25,000 BTU/h at −8 °C, 21,200 at −15 °C.

How many heads can I connect?

Up to 3 on this outdoor unit. This product is configured for 3 heads.

Can I mix head sizes?

Yes. The “Zones” menu offers 4 combinations, from 9+9+9 to 12 + 12 + 12 (in thousands of BTU). Each head is sized for its room.

How much is the LogisVert grant?

$3,000 according to Hydro-Québec’s list of October 1, 2026. The grant never exceeds 100 % of the cost before taxes; apply within 9 months of installation.

Is it ENERGY STAR certified?

Yes, cold climate, ID 3391682. It also meets the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient criteria, according to the ENERGY STAR database.

Down to what temperature does it heat?

Down to −27 °C.

Is it noisy?

Indoors, the reference head goes down to 23 dB(A). Outdoors, 50 dB(A): we place the unit away from bedroom windows.

Why a multi-zone instead of several wall units?

One outdoor unit on the wall and one circuit. In return, the rooms share the capacity, and if the outdoor unit stops, every zone stops.

What does the warranty cover?

Our sheet lists 10 years on the compressor and 10 years on parts; labour is not included by the manufacturer. AirGreen extended warranty: included.
