Comfort adapted to the most demanding Montreal winters
At AirGreen, we recently installed a Fujitsu Orion XLTH wall-mounted heat pump in an apartment in the Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie sector of Montreal. This new-generation unit, powered by R-32 refrigerant, is specially designed to deliver stable and efficient performance even during the intense cold spells experienced in the city. With its ability to maintain heating down to -26°C, this model is ideal for the needs of families living in urban areas.
Why choose the Fujitsu Orion XLTH?
The client was looking for a compact and reliable solution capable of cooling in summer while providing efficient heating in winter , without relying exclusively on the building's central heating. Fujitsu's Orion XLTH range stood out as a strategic choice thanks to several advantages:
-
High energy efficiency : Inverter technology to reduce electricity consumption.
-
Extreme cold performance : maintains stable comfort even during periods of −25°C and −26°C.
-
R-32 refrigerant : more environmentally friendly, with a reduced global warming potential (GWP) compared to R-410A.
-
Compact and discreet design : ideal for apartments and condos in Greater Montreal.
Installation details
In this apartment, the indoor unit was installed above a door , optimizing space and promoting even air distribution in the main room. Some notable technical points:
-
Refrigerant pipe route : wall installation passing directly to the outside, minimizing length and losses.
-
Condensate management : the clearance allows efficient gravity drainage, without the need for a lifting pump.
-
Working height : strategic positioning allowing easy access for future maintenance.
-
Careful aesthetics : all lines have been carefully covered to blend discreetly into the interior environment.
Challenges and solutions
One of the main challenges was the limited space between the top of the door and the ceiling. Thanks to our team's expertise, we were able to optimally position the wall head while maintaining the necessary clearances for proper operation and maintenance of the unit.
Grants and savings
The Fujitsu Orion XLTH is eligible for Quebec grant programs , including those offered by Hydro-Québec and the Greener Homes program, thanks to its superior energy efficiency. Customers benefit from an energy-efficient solution that not only reduces their electricity bills, but also improves the value of their home.
Maintenance and durability
We made the customer aware of the importance of regular maintenance : cleaning filters, annual pressure and refrigerant circuit checks, and inspection of drainage pipes. With these best practices, the lifespan of a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump can significantly exceed 12 to 15 years.
Conclusion: guaranteed four-season comfort
This installation perfectly illustrates AirGreen's mission: to offer our customers in Greater Montreal reliable, high-performance HVAC solutions adapted to the local climate . The Fujitsu Orion XLTH wall-mounted heat pump installed in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie now allows the owner to enjoy optimal comfort in all seasons, while reducing their ecological footprint.
