The unique technology of the Sharp Plasmacluster wall-mounted heat pump goes far beyond simply filling the room with hot or cold air, delicately purifying it cleans and deepens the air quality from one corner to another.
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.

The ZU and the ZHU heat down to −27 °C. In extreme cold, the ZHU keeps more power: in 12,000 BTU, it still delivers 11,200 BTU/h at −27 °C, compared with 7,200 BTU/h for the ZU.
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, and the 12,000 BTU ZHU still delivers 11,200 BTU/h at -27 °C. 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 multi-room function and the Coanda effect
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.
The technologies of Sharp wall-mounted heat pumps
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.
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.
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.

Extra-powerful wall-mounted heat pump
Nature Wing Fan Inspired by Mother Nature.
In general, we use the concept of “aircraft wings” for better airflow control and take inspiration from aerodynamics to improve products. Although aerodynamics is great for moving large objects, we came to the conclusion that bird and insect wings are better designs for the size of our products. From there, the idea of “Nature Wing” came.
Warranty
SHARP wall-mounted heat pumps are designed to provide safe and reliable performance for many years. For example, since sparking problems could occur in the internal control box of the indoor unit, SHARP uses 5VA resin, the highest flame-resistance rating available from Underwriters Laboratories (UL). This resin covers all six sides of the box with a protective sheet of metal.

Frequently asked questions about the Sharp wall-mounted heat pump
Which Sharp wall-mounted heat pump should I choose: ZU or ZHU?
The ZU offers the widest choice of capacities, from 12,000 to 24,000 BTU. The ZHU is the most powerful in extreme cold: in 12,000 BTU, it delivers 18,900 BTU/h at −8.3 °C and still 11,200 BTU/h at −27 °C, and its horizontal airflow direction is automatic (manual on the ZU). Both heat down to −27 °C and use R-32 refrigerant. During the free estimate, an advisor determines the series and the capacity that suit your room.
Down to what temperature does a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump heat?
Down to −27 °C for both the ZU and the ZHU, according to the Sharp brochure. At −15 °C, the 12,000 BTU ZU still delivers 12,000 BTU/h and the 12,000 BTU ZHU 16,000 BTU/h. The hot gas defrost system keeps the outdoor unit’s drainage holes free of ice.
Is a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump quiet?
Yes. At its lowest speed, the wall unit goes down to 23 dB(A) in cooling for the 12,000 BTU ZU, and to 22 dB(A) in heating for the 12,000 BTU ZHU, according to the Sharp brochure.
What is the warranty on Sharp wall-mounted heat pumps?
The Sharp wall-mounted heat pumps we install are covered for 10 years on the compressor, 10 years on parts and 10 years on labour.
How much is the LogisVert rebate for a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump?
Both series are ENERGY STAR Cold Climate certified: Hydro-Québec pays $120 for every 1,000 BTU/h of heating measured at −8 °C. For a 12,000 BTU unit, that is $1,740 (ZU) and $2,268 (ZHU), and up to $2,712 for the 18,000 BTU ZHU. Every model in the range, from 12,000 to 24,000 BTU, is eligible. Details on our Rebates page.
What do SEER2, HSPF2 and COP mean?
SEER2 measures a heat pump’s seasonal efficiency in cooling, and HSPF2 its efficiency in heating. The higher these numbers, the less electricity the unit uses for the same comfort. The Sharp wall-mounted range goes from 22 to 25 SEER2 and from 11 to 11.5 HSPF2. The COP at −15 °C, measured by ENERGY STAR, tells how many units of heat the unit produces in extreme cold for each unit of electricity: from 2.10 to 2.20 for the Sharp wall-mounted range. At 2, it delivers twice as much heat as an electric baseboard for the same electricity.
What is the Plasmacluster air purifier?
It is Sharp’s own air purification technology: it releases into the room positive and negative ions similar to those found in nature, which act on mold, allergens and odours. A 40-minute cycle also propels the ions inside the unit to curb mold.
How do I maintain a Sharp wall-mounted heat pump?
Clean the wall unit’s washable filter every month, keep the outdoor unit clear of snow, ice and leaves, have it cleaned once a year and have the unit inspected by a professional every 2 to 3 years. We offer wall-mounted air conditioner cleaning.
How much does an installed Sharp wall-mounted heat pump cost?
