In an apartment in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie , where spaces are designed to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, we installed a Fujitsu AIRSTAGE wall-mounted heat pump , a choice particularly well-suited to Montreal's urban housing. This type of project demands precision, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of lifestyles—exactly what we at AirGreen apply every day.
A typical residential setting in Rosemont
The photo clearly shows a renovated Montreal interior:
-
modern kitchen with full-height cabinets,
-
hexagonal backsplash ,
-
integrated appliances,
-
Standard ceilings with moldings.
This type of renovation is common in Rosemont–La Petite-Patrie, a neighbourhood with many renovated duplexes and condos. The goal here was clear: to add optimal thermal comfort without compromising the aesthetics or the daily use of the kitchen and living area .
Type of machine installed: Wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split)
This is unambiguously a wall-mounted heat pump :
-
compact horizontal indoor unit,
-
high-level installation, near the ceiling,
-
Frontal diffusion with motorized shutters
-
Conduits concealed in a discreet sleeve leading outwards.
This format is ideal for existing housing, as it allows air conditioning and heating to be added without redoing all the building's mechanics.
Brand used: Fujitsu (AIRSTAGE)
The Fujitsu brand, supplied manually and used as the absolute reference, is particularly renowned in Montreal for:
-
its reliability in residential use ,
-
its silent operation ,
-
temperature stability ,
-
and its ability to effectively manage the rapid variations that are frequent in open kitchens.
In central districts like Rosemont, Fujitsu is often chosen for its discretion and perceived quality , both in terms of sound and visuals.
Consistent model: Fujitsu Altair 300 or Altair 500 (R-32)
Even though the exact model is not clearly visible in the photo, the unit's shape, size, and residential setting correspond very well to a Fujitsu Altair , in particular:
-
Altair 300 for a targeted space (living room/kitchen),
-
or Altair 500 if the unit serves a larger area.
These R-32 models offer an excellent compromise between performance, energy efficiency and compliance with current standards.
Prominent installation details observable
1️⃣ Installation above an opening (kitchen passage)
The unit is installed above a wall opening , which requires special attention:
-
solid anchoring despite the absence of a continuous solid wall,
-
Precise height calculation to ensure effective diffusion
-
compliance with the clearances recommended by the manufacturer.
This is a common configuration in Montreal housing, but it requires experience to execute well.
2️⃣ Air distribution adapted to an open kitchen
Installing a heat pump near a kitchen presents specific challenges:
-
localized heat related to cooking
-
variable humidity,
-
frequent occupation of the area.
Positioning allows us to:
-
good circulation to the living area ,
-
without blowing directly on the occupants,
-
while helping to dissipate excess heat during periods of high activity.
3️⃣ Proper management of connections and drainage
The white sleeve visible on the right side shows a clear desire to keep the installation clean and integrated:
-
protected refrigeration connections,
-
Secure drainage
-
visual continuity with the light-colored walls.
In a neighborhood like Rosemont, interior aesthetics are often as important as performance.
Result: discreet and effective thermal comfort
Thanks to this installation:
-
The air conditioning is fast and even in summer.
-
Supplemental heating is comfortable in the mid-season .
-
The noise level remains very low , even in an open space.
-
and the unit integrates naturally into the existing environment.
This is exactly what our customers in this sector are looking for: comfort without compromising on style .
Recommended good maintenance practices
To ensure the longevity and performance of a Fujitsu wall-mounted heat pump:
-
Regular cleaning of the filters (especially in the kitchen),

A well-maintained system consumes less fuel, works better, and remains quieter for longer.
