An HVAC installation in Laval where every detail makes a difference
At AirGreen, some installations stand out not for their apparent complexity, but for the level of precision required to achieve a truly optimal result. This installation of a FUJITSU CENTAURI R32 3-ton (36,000 BTU) central heat pump completed in Laval is an excellent example. Behind a high-performing machine lies rigorous work on ducts, settings, outdoor placement, and commissioning.
The client, owner of a cottage with existing ducts, was looking to correct significant temperature differences between the ground floor and the upper floor, while upgrading their heating and air conditioning system. The objective was clear: to achieve uniform comfort throughout the house, summer and winter, with a reliable solution adapted to Quebec's climate.
Why the FUJITSU CENTAURI R32 3-ton is essential for this type of project
A capacity adapted to medium to large-sized homes
The 36,000 BTU (3-ton) central heat pump is ideal for many properties in Laval, Montreal, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore, provided it is correctly sized. In this specific case, we validated:
- The total habitable volume
- The overall insulation of the building
- Wind exposure
- The configuration of existing ducts
This preliminary work helps avoid common errors such as oversizing or undersizing.
Key technical specifications of the installed system
- Outdoor model: AOUH36KUAS1
- Indoor model: AMUH36KUAS
- Capacity: 36,000 BTU
- Refrigerant: R-32
- Certification: ENERGY STAR® (Cold Climate)
- Heating capacity down to: -21°C
- SEER2: 17.6 (approximation according to provided technical sheet)
- HSPF2: high heating efficiency
- Outdoor sound level: 56 dB(A)
- Voltage: 220V
This model is particularly appreciated for its stable performance in winter conditions, which is essential in the region.
Challenges encountered during this installation in Laval
1. Imbalance in the existing duct network
The main problem was not the old machine, but the air distribution network:
- Lack of return air upstairs
- Poorly distributed airflow
- Certain rooms under-supplied
AirGreen Solution
We performed:
- A complete duct inspection
- Rebalancing of registers
- Airflow optimization
Result: homogeneous distribution in all areas of the house.
2. Strategic placement of the outdoor unit
As seen in the installation, the FUJITSU outdoor unit was installed:
- On a raised aluminum stand
- With sufficient clearance for snow
- Taking into account vibrations and drainage
Why this is essential in Quebec
A poorly positioned outdoor unit can:
- Accumulate snow and ice
- Reduce performance
- Increase premature wear
Our approach ensures maximum durability season after season.
3. Condensate management and drainage
Often overlooked, condensate management is crucial in a central system.
We have:
- Checked the drain slope
- Installed an adequate trap
- Ensured safe drainage
This avoids:
- Odors
- Backups
- Water damage

The client no longer needs to constantly adjust their thermostat. The system maintains a stable temperature automatically.
Subsidy available for this heat pump
This model is eligible for the subsidy:
- LogisVert Program: up to $3,288
A significant advantage for homeowners in Laval, Montreal, and on the South Shore/North Shore, considerably reducing the total project cost.
Common mistakes to avoid with a central heat pump
Neglecting the ducts
Even the best machine will not compensate for a poorly designed network.
Ignoring return air
A lack of return air creates:
- Thermal imbalance
- Noise
- Poor circulation
Inadequate outdoor installation
A poorly placed unit leads to:
- Winter problems
- Loss of performance
- More frequent maintenance
Shoddy settings
A poorly calibrated system will never reach its full potential.
