Before buying your Sharp wall-mounted heat pump

Wall-mounted heat pumps are specially designed to provide for people who do not have a ventilation duct in their home. If you have electric baseboard heaters to heat your home during the winter, you probably don’t have air conditioning to cool your home during the hotter summer days.

A wall-mounted heat pump can be installed almost anywhere and does not require any renovation after the work. There are a lot of heat pump brands available in Quebec, however they are not always reliable devices. This is why you have to be careful when thinking about buying a heat pump.

When you purchase a wall-mounted heat pump, you must make sure that the contractor carrying out the work has all these licenses to carry out the work.

In addition to its reliability, the Sharp wall-mounted heat pump is equipped with advanced ventilation features, providing superior indoor air quality. The Sharp model is the only one equipped with a “plasmacluster” air purifier, which helps remove pollutants from the air. This is especially important for those who suffer from allergies or respiratory problems.

The Sharp wall-mounted heat pump also offers a large number of ventilation features, allowing you to personalize your indoor environment. It offers multi-speed ventilation options, air circulation, a silent mode and even an automatic ventilation mode.

Finally, the Sharp wall-mounted heat pump is a high-end unit, offering a sleek, modern design that blends perfectly with any decor. It also features advanced technology to provide you with optimal comfort all year round.

The advantages of the Sharp wall-mounted heat pump

Sharp wall-mounted heat pumps incorporate the highest Japanese technological precision with an elegant design that will enhance any room in the house. Unique airflow control that sends warm or cool air to any room you want for quick and easy comfort. A variety of finely controlled functions to keep the room at the comfort temperature you want.

The unique technology of this heat pump goes far beyond simply filling the room with hot or cold air, it gently purifies, cleans and deepens the air quality from corner to corner. Specifications and operational settings have also been optimized for North American home conditions.

SHARP heat pumps certified for extreme cold
Sharp heat pumps are much more efficient and can operate at colder temperatures than conventional heat pumps. These generally lose their capacity
significant heating at colder temperatures. Moreover, it is generally not recommended to operate them when temperatures drop below -15°C, while SHARP heat pumps certified as “extreme cold” can still provide heat down to -27°C.

Hot gas defrost
The ZHU Series and ZU Series outdoor units have been designed to deliver comforting warmth down to -27°C, lower temperatures than any other model on the market. SHARP’s “HOT GAS PIPE” system ensures that all condensation holes are free of ice to ensure adequate defrost flow without affecting energy efficiency.

Multiple drainage holes
Freezing of water in the outdoor unit is often the cause of malfunctions in winter. To avoid such a situation, SHARP has improved the drainage system by providing the condensation pan of the outdoor unit with several drainage holes. Plugs to cover these holes are also included with the unit when used in a warmer climate where water is drained through a drainage pipe.

Quick defrost function
To optimize defrosting of the outdoor unit, the “PRE-WARM” function increases the interior temperature a few moments before defrosting. Additionally, SHARP uses two defrost modes. Either: “RAPID DEFROST” or “DEFROST”. These types of defrosting are used on SHARP units installed in Nordic countries. All of these functions ensure optimal operation of the unit and offer a series of increased performances.

The unique multi-space function of the sharp heat pump
The Sharp wall-mounted heat pump offers a cutting-edge feature called “multi-room”, which is an unmatched advantage for homeowners looking to heat or cool multiple zones with a single unit. This innovative feature allows the heat pump to heat and cool up to five rooms simultaneously, which is ideal for large homes or families who need to heat multiple zones at once.

The “multi-space” technology of the Sharp heat pump relies on the use of a high-speed fan, which works optimally to circulate air throughout the home. Unlike traditional wall-mounted heat pumps, which slow down both the compressor and the indoor fan once the room temperature is reached, the “multi-room” function of the Sharp heat pump allows the compressor to slow down, while the indoor fan continues to run at high speed. This innovative technology allows multiple zones to be heated or cooled at the same time, maintaining a comfortable temperature throughout the home.

By pressing the Multi-Space button, you can keep multiple rooms at the desired setpoint. By placing an indoor unit in the living room, stairwell or wherever you want, this feature of the Sharp Wall-Mounted Heat Pump will quickly heat or cool more rooms to the set temperature. Then, the fan speed and louver angle are automatically controlled to circulate warm or cool air gently and evenly to every corner of your home.

The Coanda Effect function of Sharp heat pumps
The Sharp wall-mounted heat pump offers a cutting-edge feature called the “Coanda” effect, an innovative technology that ensures uniform and efficient distribution of air in the room, for optimal comfort for the occupants of the home while reducing energy consumption.

This technology is based on the physical property of the “Coanda” effect, which allows air to follow curved surfaces such as walls and ceilings. By exploiting this property, the Sharp heat pump directs hot or cool air towards the ceiling, ensuring uniform distribution of air throughout the room. This method of air diffusion reduces areas of uneven temperatures in the room, for optimal comfort for the occupants.

In addition to improving comfort, the “Coanda” effect also helps minimize the heat pump’s energy consumption. By directing air towards the ceiling, the Sharp heat pump can exploit the heat accumulated in the upper part of the room, which reduces the use of the compressor and therefore achieves significant energy savings.

This cutting-edge technology helps create a comfortable and uniform environment in the room, while providing an energy-efficient heating and cooling solution. The Sharp heat pump is therefore a wise choice for homeowners looking for an efficient, economical and precise heating solution.

The multi-room function: Comfort everywhere
The “Multi Space” function, whether for installing an indoor unit on a cathedral ceiling or a stairwell, allows you to quickly heat or cool rooms to the desired temperature. This function provides continuous ventilation to gently circulate hot or cold air in every corner of the home.

The Unique Conanda Effect at Sharp
For uniform heat and cool air, SHARP air conditioners and heat pumps take advantage of a phenomenon observed in nature called the “Coanda Effect”. * This effect refers to the tendency of a jet of gas or liquid to be attracted to surrounding surfaces. SHARP air conditioners and heat pumps use this tendency by aiming airflow at the surface of rooms, along walls or ceilings, to more precisely control and direct airflow.

R-32 Refrigerant
R-32 is a new generation refrigerant that efficiently transports heat with minimal environmental impact. While there are different types of refrigerants, R-32 is the new refrigerant that is currently generating the most interest. Because R-32 transports heat efficiently, it can reduce electricity consumption by up to 10% compared to heat pumps using R-22 refrigerant. Additionally, compared to today’s widely used refrigerants such as R-22 and R-410A, R-32 has a 1/3 lower global warming potential (GWP) and is notable for its low environmental impact.

Self-cleaning function with air purifier
The device’s 40-minute recirculation cycle propels Plasmacluster ions inside the unit. This prevents and stops the development of mold responsible for certain odors on the surfaces of the air exchanger.

Temperature is reached two-thirds of the time
Although heat pumps with “INVERTER” technology operate in “full power” mode, their energy consumption decreases considerably when used in “energy saving” mode. This is possible thanks to the inverter circuit that changes and maintains the room temperature by alternating the compressor between “HIGH” and “LOW” operating modes, instead of turning it on and off completely as do models that do not use an inverter. The inverter model keeps the compressor running and only reduces the air output once the set temperature is reached, thus providing a uniform and comfortable controlled temperature.

Plasmacluster Air Purifier
The unique technology of the Sharp Plasmacluster Wall-Mounted Heat Pump goes beyond simply filling the room with warm or cool air, it gently purifies, cleans and deepens the air quality from corner to corner. The specifications and operational settings have also been optimized for North American household conditions.

• Suppresses all airborne virus activity
• Suppresses the activity of airborne microorganisms
• Acts on both airborne and adherent mold
• Neutralizes and eliminates airborne allergens such as dust mites
• Neutralizes and eliminates adherent odors (such as tobacco smoke)
• Removes static electricity that attracts airborne particles

Anti-Corrosion Treatment
A special anti-corrosive coating is applied to the heat exchanger, control panel and other key components of the outdoor unit to extend the product life.

Helps reduce energy consumption
Sharp heat pumps have an inverter compressor and automatically switch to “energy saving” mode when the set temperature is reached. Compared to models that do not use this system, Sharp inverter heat pumps consume less energy and increase their efficiency by using a high-power DC motor for the compressor and outdoor fan as well as a linear pulse expansion valve.
