A Seamless HVAC Installation for Comfort and Efficiency
At AirGreen, we are committed to providing our clients with top-notch HVAC solutions that blend modern technology, energy efficiency, and reliable performance. Recently, we completed the installation of a Fujitsu RLXFWH 18,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump at a beautiful residence on the South Shore, where the homeowners were looking for a more energy-efficient heating and cooling solution.
Understanding the Customer's Needs
The homeowners reached out to AirGreen with a clear objective: they wanted to replace their outdated HVAC system with something modern, efficient, and quiet. They also sought a solution that would work seamlessly with the unique layout of their home, which features intricate wooden accents and artistic ceiling designs, as shown in the pictures. Given the complexity of their living space, we knew we had to install a system that wouldn’t detract from the aesthetic appeal of their home while offering superior performance.
After assessing the property, we recommended the Fujitsu RLXFWH heat pump, which is known for its sleek design, energy efficiency, and ability to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures even during the harshest winters in Quebec.
The Fujitsu RLXFWH: A Perfect Fit
The Fujitsu RLXFWH 18,000 BTU model is an exceptional choice for homes of varying sizes. With a SEER rating of 20.0, this unit offers one of the highest energy efficiencies in the market, which means our client can look forward to significantly lower energy bills. The Energy Star® certification ensures that this unit meets stringent standards for energy conservation, making it a responsible choice for environmentally conscious homeowners.
The LogisVert Grant from Hydro-Québec was another key factor that made this model attractive to the homeowners. By choosing the Fujitsu RLXFWH, they qualified for a grant of $1,752, which helped offset the initial cost of installation.
Installation Challenges and Successes
The installation itself posed a few interesting challenges due to the home’s architectural features. Our skilled technicians had to be particularly careful while working around the intricate woodwork and the textured ceiling. The placement of the indoor unit was crucial to ensure optimal airflow without disrupting the aesthetics of the room.
We installed the wall-mounted unit centrally to ensure that it would efficiently distribute both cool and warm air throughout the living space. The piping for the unit was concealed to maintain the room's clean look, and we ensured that the electrical wiring was safely routed without being an eyesore. Our team used high-quality materials, including 3/8 - 5/8 pipes to ensure the unit would function at peak efficiency for years to come.
Technical Specifications and Performance
One of the standout features of the Fujitsu RLXFWH heat pump is its ability to operate even in extremely cold temperatures. This unit can maintain a heating capacity down to -26°C, making it a reliable option for the frigid Quebec winters.
Key Technical Features:
- Capacity: 18,000 BTU for both heating and cooling
- Voltage: 220V, providing robust performance
- Sound Levels: 28 dB(A) indoors and 50 dB(A) outdoors, ensuring a whisper-quiet operation
- Compressor Warranty: 10 years
- Parts Warranty: 10 years
- Labor Warranty: 10 years
We also installed the outdoor unit in a discreet location to ensure minimal disruption to the outdoor living area while still allowing for easy access for future maintenance.
Quiet and Comfortable Living
One of the homeowner’s top concerns was noise. They needed a unit that wouldn’t interrupt the peace and quiet they cherish in their home. The Fujitsu RLXFWH excels in this area with an indoor sound level as low as 28 dB(A), which is quieter than a library. Whether the family is enjoying dinner together or relaxing in the living room, they won’t be disturbed by the hum of an HVAC unit.
A Hassle-Free User Experience
The Fujitsu RLXFWH comes with a user-friendly remote control that allows the homeowner to adjust settings with ease. Whether they need to tweak the temperature, set a timer, or switch between heating and cooling, the remote offers complete control. The advanced inverter technology ensures that the heat pump only uses the energy it needs to maintain the desired temperature, reducing waste and further driving down energy costs.
Extended Warranty for Peace of Mind
We understand that a new HVAC system is a significant investment, which is why we were pleased to offer the homeowners an extended warranty covering 10 years on the compressor, parts, and labor. This comprehensive coverage gives them peace of mind knowing that their system is protected for the long haul.
Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: R-410A
Another advantage of the Fujitsu RLXFWH is its use of R-410A refrigerant, which is known for being environmentally friendly. Unlike older refrigerants, R-410A does not deplete the ozone layer, making it a sustainable choice for homeowners looking to reduce their environmental impact.
