Almost empty during the week, it hosts a fundraising dinner on Saturday, a general meeting on Sunday afternoon, a dance class on Tuesday evening, and its tables move every time. The GENERAL AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 36,000 BTU is the cassette we install for this kind of hall. Under another name, it is the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 36,000 BTU. The two units, the \u003cstrong\u003eceiling cassette\u003c\/strong\u003e AUUH36KUAS and the outdoor unit AOUH36KUAS1, share their twin's AHRI certificate 215434555, certifications and warranty: 12 years compressor, 12 years parts, 6 years labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer only changed its corporate name: on January 1, 2026, Fujitsu General Limited took the name GENERAL Inc. For a board of directors, a parish council or a volunteer committee that has to justify every expense, the distinction matters: the model, its certificate and its warranty do not change with the logo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA ceiling cassette simplifies what the calendar complicates. It takes no space on the walls, where the chairs get stacked and the stage gets set up; it does not mind the tables pushed against the partitions; and it spreads air across the whole hall, whatever the evening's layout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GENERAL name comes with a change of owner. Paloma Rheem Holdings, parent company of Rheem since 1988, took control of Fujitsu General in August 2025, and the group's companies took their new names at the start of 2026. The group has moved neither the head office nor R\u0026amp;D, still in Kawasaki, Japan, nor the factories; AIRSTAGE products keep their model numbers and their warranty program. Rheem Canada has managed sales in the country since February 2026; on our side, Groupe Master remains the distributor that supplies us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the transition, the unit is marketed under both names and the Fujitsu logo is gradually fading out. A quote that circulates among several committee members may therefore mention either one; we keep both product pages online so that everyone can see it is the same equipment. The row-by-row comparison follows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"tp-compare\" style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth

Empty, it asks for almost nothing; full, it takes in the heat and humidity of the guests, the lighting and the caterer. At 3 tons, the CENTAURI 36,000 BTU offers a serious reserve for a hall that fills up all at once, provided the load calculation confirms it. Its \u003cstrong\u003eairflow\u003c\/strong\u003e reaches 1,118 CFM, blown out of several sides of the grille along the ceiling and drawn back in at the centre: the air reaches the whole hall instead of stopping at the first row of tables.

At low speed, the indoor unit runs at 34 dB(A); at full speed, when the hall is packed and the music is loud, it rises to 45 dB(A). Outside, the outdoor unit runs at 57 dB(A): we place it away from the forecourt, the main entrance and the immediate neighbours, on a raised base and sheltered from snow sliding off the roof.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn winter, the task is to heat, at a reasonable cost, a hall that stays closed for a good part of the week. What the Heat Pump delivers in cold weather appears on NEEP (ashp.neep.org), where AHRI certificate 215434555 is published with its certified values. At −8 °C, the test's reference value, it provides 25,400 BTU with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 3.13. At −15 °C, it can go up to 31,000 BTU, with a COP of 2.12, and at −21 °C, the last step of its guaranteed heating, it still produces up to 27,000 BTU with a COP of 2.02. COP is the number of units of heat obtained for each unit of electricity paid for: even at the coldest point of the certification, the hall receives roughly double, in heat, what it pays for in electricity. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 10.5 gives the average over the heating season, and the model's ENERGY STAR certification includes the cold-climate designation. With the Wi-Fi option, the caretaker or a volunteer can lower the setpoint between two activities and raise it before an event without making the trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn summer, the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 21.3 puts a number on what cooling consumes over a summer, and the EER2 of 11.2 on efficiency at the hottest, on the day a wedding or an end-of-year party fills the hall in June.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA cassette goes into a finished ceiling, suspended or drywall. A nave with a cathedral ceiling or an exposed structure is not its place, and we say so at the visit if that is the case; the basement hall or the reception room with a suspended ceiling, on the other hand, are well suited. Its cabinet measures 33.07 in. by 33.07 in., at 11.34 in. high, and belongs to the large format: too big for a 2 ft × 2 ft cell, it needs enough ceiling cavity. Here is the job, in order:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eadapting the grid of the \u003cstrong\u003esuspended ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e around the unit, or opening the drywall to the size of the cabinet, with a hatch for maintenance;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003erouting the refrigerant line, 3\/8 and 5\/8 in, along with the cable and the drain, above the ceiling to the outdoor unit;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea sloped drain, or a condensate pump where the route calls for one, with the solution specified in the quote, like the choice of finishing grille and control method;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea dedicated electrical circuit, provided for an MCA of 21 A and an MOP of 25 A;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecommissioning: tightness check, evacuation, switch-on, airflow measurement and a short training session for the caretaker or the volunteers in charge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe set the dates with the person who manages the hall's calendar, to avoid days that are already booked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn an organization, maintenance often rests on volunteers who change from one year to the next. The cassette's filters come out through the grille; they are washed with water, dried and put back, a task a caretaker learns in a single demonstration. For the rest, our refrigeration technician takes care of it during maintenance visits: coil, condensate pan and drain, outdoor unit and R-32 charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLogisVert, the Hydro-Québec program, lists this model at $3,048 on its October 27, 2026 list. For an organization, a parish or a community centre, the building and the applicant decide eligibility: it is best to check it together before the committee writes that amount into its budget. The list changes; the amount, if it applies, is confirmed in the quote, with both models and the AHRI certificate set out in black and white on the invoice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CENTAURI 36,000 BTU suits the parish hall, the church basement, the hall of a seniors' club, a neighbourhood association or a community centre, anywhere a single large room is rented, lent and transformed from week to week. It also serves private reception halls. A useful note for the committee: our HVAC quotes name the exact models and the AHRI certificate, which makes it possible to compare offers on an equal footing and to record the decision in the minutes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA comfortable community hall in Sainte-Julie and on the South Shore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen installs the CENTAURI 36,000 BTU in Sainte-Julie and throughout the South Shore, in Longueuil, Montreal, Laval and on the North Shore.

For these rooms, we propose the GENERAL AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 42,000 BTU. It is the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 42,000 BTU under the name of GENERAL Inc., the manufacturer's corporate name since January 1, 2026: identical \u003cstrong\u003eceiling cassette\u003c\/strong\u003e AUUH42KUAS, outdoor unit AOUH42KUAS1 and AHRI certificate 215812200, the same certifications, and a warranty that covers the compressor and parts for 12 years and labour for 6 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn HVAC terms, a workout room is among the most demanding spaces there are. Yoga studio, cycling room or private gym, the demands are much the same: remove a lot of humidity, cool a room that heats up fast, and do it without blowing on someone lying on a mat. The ceiling cassette meets the last demand by its very design; the capacity of the CENTAURI 42,000 BTU, a 3.5-ton Heat Pump, meets the other two, to be confirmed by the load calculation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name change comes from a transaction, not a technical overhaul. Paloma Rheem Holdings, whose ownership of Rheem dates back to 1988, bought Fujitsu General in August 2025, and the new name took effect at the start of 2026. Kawasaki, Japan, is still home to the head office and the research and development centre; the same factories make the same AIRSTAGE products, and the model numbers and the warranty program are unchanged. Rheem Canada has sold these units in the country since February 2026, and we receive them, as before, through Groupe Master. GENERAL has been used as a trademark since 1946; the company, born in 1936, is marking 90 years since its founding in 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor as long as the transition lasts, the same machine may carry either logo on its packaging. So we publish both product pages: the studio owner who received a quote under the Fujitsu name and the one who comes across the GENERAL name can confirm they are talking about the same unit.

Same values, same warranty, same installer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet us start with humidity, because it is what makes the difference in a workout room. In \u003cstrong\u003edehumidification\u003c\/strong\u003e mode, the CENTAURI 42,000 BTU removes up to 9.3 pints of water per hour. In practice, the air stays fresh during an intense class, fog is slower to form on the mirrors, and the room recovers faster between two groups. All that humidity becomes condensate water, which makes the drain route more important here than elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNext comes distribution. Drawn in at the middle of the grille, the air comes back out through several sides at once and travels along the ceiling before settling back down over the room. At a maximum \u003cstrong\u003eairflow\u003c\/strong\u003e of 1,177 CFM, it mixes the whole room, from the bikes at the back to the mats near the entrance, with no jet aimed at any one person. For a yoga class, that last point matters: lying on the floor, you feel the slightest draft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNoise is managed according to the class. During a spin session, the music covers everything, and the cassette can run at full speed, at 47 dB(A). During the relaxation at the end of yoga, the fan drops back to 36 dB(A), its lowest speed. Outside, the outdoor unit's 55 dB(A) is handled through placement: behind the premises or on the roof, on the side facing away from neighbouring houses when the site allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo cool a room that heats up fast, the \u003cstrong\u003eEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 10.8 gives efficiency at full load in hot weather, and the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 19.0 gives consumption over the whole season. In winter, the same Heat Pump heats the studio, and its certified values, available on NEEP (ashp.neep.org) under AHRI number 215812200, are solid: 32,000 BTU at −8 °C (the test's reference capacity), with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 3.11; up to 37,000 BTU at −15 °C, with a COP of 2.36; and up to 34,200 BTU at −21 °C, the threshold of its guaranteed heating, with a COP of 2.18. COP is simple to read: at 2.18, the Heat Pump provides more than two kilowatt-hours of heat per kilowatt-hour consumed at the coldest point of the test, and more than three at −8 °C. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 10.4 sums up efficiency over the entire heating season. ENERGY STAR certifies it, cold climate included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the job site side, a studio most often occupies a commercial unit. The cassette needs a ceiling to recess into, suspended or drywall, with enough clearance above. If your space has an exposed structure, we discuss it at the visit, because another family of units may then be a better fit. At 33.07 × 33.07 × 11.34 in., the cabinet belongs to the series' large format, which overflows a 2 ft × 2 ft \u003cstrong\u003esuspended ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e grid. The rest of the job:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe drain deserves particular attention, given the amount of water that dehumidification on this scale produces: depending on the route, the water will flow by gravity or go through a condensate pump, and the solution is specified in the quote.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 3\/8 and 5\/8 in refrigerant line runs above the ceiling with the cable to the outdoor unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower runs through a dedicated circuit, sized for an MCA of 24 A and an MOP of 30 A; we check the premises' electrical service at the visit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe quote also confirms the finishing grille and the control method.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommissioning includes the leak check, evacuating the circuit, start-up and an airflow reading, followed by a demonstration for your instructors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a workout room, the filters work hard: dust, towel fibres, mat particles. They come out through the grille and get washed more often than at home; an instructor can take care of it at the end of the day, from a stepladder. The coil and the condensate pan, heavily used by dehumidification, are on the checklist at every maintenance call by our refrigeration technician, along with the outdoor unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for the grant, Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list of October 27, 2026 assigns $3,840 to this model. Private gym in a house or studio in a commercial unit, eligibility varies with the building and the applicant, and we carry out the check with you. If it applies, the amount appears in the quote, and the invoice mentions both models with their AHRI certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis cassette is intended for the yoga studio, the indoor cycling room, the neighbourhood training centre, the trainer opening their own space and the homeowner setting up a private gym in the basement of a large house. It is a good fit when the room forms a single space and humidity is what clients complain about most. For a larger or partitioned room, our estimator can propose another combination; capacity is always confirmed by a load calculation, never by eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA drier, cooler workout studio in Fabreville, Laval\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen installs the CENTAURI 42,000 BTU in Fabreville and throughout Laval, in Montreal, Longueuil, on the North Shore and on the South Shore. The quote, which is free, starts from your actual room: participants per class, schedules, ceiling type, drain route.

The floor, for its part, has to stay clear so customers can move between the models. That leaves the ceiling, and that is where the GENERAL AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 48,000 BTU goes, the largest cassette in the large-format CENTAURI line. It is identical to the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 48,000 BTU, renamed at the same time as its manufacturer, which became GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. Nothing differs, not the \u003cstrong\u003eceiling cassette\u003c\/strong\u003e AUUH48KUAS, not the outdoor unit AOUH48KUAS1, not the AHRI certificate 215812201, not the certifications, and not the warranty, which provides 12 years of coverage for the compressor and parts, 6 years for labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 4-ton Heat Pump housed in a single indoor unit makes it possible to serve a large open floor without multiplying units: a single grille on the ceiling, a single outdoor unit, a single refrigerant line to run. For the retailer, that means less technical equipment in the décor and only one unit to have serviced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the manufacturer's side, the story is short. It was in August 2025 that Paloma Rheem Holdings, to which Rheem has belonged since 1988, acquired Fujitsu General, which has been called GENERAL Inc. since New Year's Day 2026. Nothing else was touched: head office and R\u0026amp;D in Kawasaki (Japan), factories, AIRSTAGE range, model numbers, warranty program. Canadian sales have been handled by Rheem Canada since February 2026; our distributor remains Groupe Master, and AirGreen is an AIRSTAGE Elite Plus installer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a retailer, the practical consequence takes few words: the unit sold under the GENERAL name and the one sold under the Fujitsu name are interchangeable, since they are the same. The Fujitsu logo is gradually disappearing, and until then the same machine circulates under both names; that is why we maintain both product pages. The table below proves it, row by row.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"tp-compare\" style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth

The technical content is the same, right down to the certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA showroom piles up three sources of load that a house rarely sees, and that is what the HVAC calculation has to absorb:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eambient and display lighting, on from morning to night, which warms the room even in winter;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe storefront window, which takes the full sun depending on orientation;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe front door, which opens with every customer and lets the outside air in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt is for this combination that you choose the top of the series. In cooling, the \u003cstrong\u003eEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 10.1 measures efficiency at the height of the heat, on the July Saturday when the store is full, and the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 18.2 its energy use over the full summer. Dehumidification of up to 10.6 pints\/h keeps the floor dry, which moisture-sensitive merchandise such as fabric, wood or paper appreciates as much as the customers do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAirflow\u003c\/strong\u003e reaches 1,236 CFM. Drawn in at the centre of the grille and blown out through several sides along the ceiling, it covers a large, continuous open floor without pointing at the cash counter or any other counter. We place the cassette above the circulation area, never behind a tall shelf that would cut off its airflow. The largest cassette in the series still has its limits, though: beyond what a single unit can serve, or on an L-shaped floor, we split the load among several cassettes, and it is the calculation that decides, not the floor area alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a store, noise gets lost under the background music and the conversations: the indoor unit runs at 36 to 48 dB(A) depending on speed. The outdoor unit, at 57 dB(A), goes on the roof or in the back lane, away from the customer entrance and neighbouring homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn winter, with the door opening for every customer, heating reserve makes the difference. The NEEP registry (ashp.neep.org) gives the following certified values for AHRI certificate 215812201: 36,000 BTU at −8 °C, measured at the standard rating point, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 2.96; up to 38,500 BTU at −15 °C, with a COP of 2.34; and up to 35,600 BTU at −21 °C, the harshest cold in the certification, with a COP of 2.16. Read simply, a COP of 2.96 means almost three units of heat per unit of electricity; even at −21 °C, where its guaranteed heating ends, the unit provides more than double. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 10.2, for its part, condenses the whole winter into one number; it is the one reflected on the bill. The model is ENERGY STAR certified, cold-climate designation included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt installation, the 33.07 × 33.07 × 11.34 in. cabinet fits into a suspended or drywall ceiling, provided there is the necessary cavity above; this is the large format, bigger than a 2 ft × 2 ft module. If the \u003cstrong\u003esuspended ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e is already in place, we rearrange the grid around the cabinet and keep an access point for maintenance. Above the tiles then run the communication cable, the drain and the 3\/8 and 5\/8 in refrigerant line, toward the outdoor unit. For the drain, AirGreen plans the slope, or a condensate pump if the route requires it; the quote specifies that choice, as well as the finishing grille and the control method. The unit needs its own circuit, sized to its MCA of 25 A and its MOP of 30 A; at this capacity, it is a point the electrician looks at closely from the quote stage. The work is done outside busy hours as much as possible, and commissioning (tightness verified, vacuum pulled, start-up, airflow reading) is done in an empty store.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a store, dust comes in with the boxes, the packaging and the customers walking in from the street. The filters come out through the grille and are cleaned with water, a simple task for an employee before opening. Our refrigeration technician also comes by at regular intervals for the coil, the condensate pan and its drain, then the outdoor unit and its refrigerant charge; as for parts, they are those of the Fujitsu version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs of October 27, 2026, this model appears on Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list with an amount of $4,320. For a business, nothing is automatic: the type of building and the applicant determine eligibility, and we go over both with you before talking about a guaranteed saving. Where applicable, the quote confirms the amount, and the sales documents carry the references of both units and their AHRI certificate, useful for the application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CENTAURI 48,000 BTU is made for the furniture, kitchen or appliance showroom, the store with a large open floor, the neighbourhood hardware store or the dealership displaying a few vehicles in an enclosed showroom. It is aimed at the retailer who wants a single indoor unit, the most powerful in the series, rather than a row of wall units that would eat into the display space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA comfortable showroom in Anjou and in the east end of Montreal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe install the CENTAURI 48,000 BTU in Anjou and throughout the east end of Montreal, with Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore also in our territory.

What differs is the manufacturer's label: since January 1, 2026, Fujitsu General Limited has been named \u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL Inc.\u003c\/strong\u003e, and the cassette sold under either name is built the same way, in the same place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis cassette answers a common basement situation: the bedroom finished under a \u003cstrong\u003esuspended ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e, where no wall suits a wall-mounted head. The window takes up the top of the outside wall, exactly where a wall head would have to go. The closet takes a second wall, the headboard a third, the door the last one. That leaves the ceiling, clear from end to end. The cassette takes the place of one tile, and only its grille stays visible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne clarification before going further: the AUU7RLF is a \u003cstrong\u003emulti-zone system\u003c\/strong\u003e head. It is never installed on its own. It connects, along with other heads, to a GENERAL AIRSTAGE (formerly Fujitsu) multi-zone outdoor unit. So you choose the cassette for the bedroom, then build the rest of the system around it and around the other rooms of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new name comes from a change of owner. Paloma Rheem Holdings, Rheem's owner since 1988, bought Fujitsu General Limited in August 2025, and the company took on the name GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. Nothing moves: the head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre remain in Kawasaki, Japan, and the factories, the AIRSTAGE range and the model numbers do not change.

In a basement bedroom, those conditions rarely line up. The suspended ceiling already offers what is needed: a hidden space above the tiles for the refrigerant line, the cable and the drain, and a surface in the middle of the room, away from the bed and the window. The cassette blows air out on several sides of its grille and draws it back in at the centre. The air spreads through the whole bedroom instead of leaving from a single wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe format works in your favour too. The AUU7RLF has a 22.44 in. square cabinet: the compact format, designed to fit into a 2 ft × 2 ft suspended-ceiling grid. The cassette therefore takes its place in the existing grid, and only the finishing grille stays visible below the ceiling. What remains is to confirm the clearance above the tiles, which we measure when we prepare the quote, at the same time as we confirm the finishing grille and the control method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuiet comes first.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a bedroom, the value that matters most is the indoor sound level. The table shows 33 dB(A) at minimum speed and 34 dB(A) at maximum speed. The gap is narrow: even when the system works harder, on a heat-wave evening or a bitterly cold morning, the sound of the cassette barely changes. For the person sleeping right below it, that steadiness carries more weight than any other line on the spec sheet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapacity matched to the room.\u003c\/strong\u003e 7,000 BTU is a small size, and that is deliberate. A basement bedroom has few windows and walls partly below grade; it usually needs less than an upstairs bedroom. An oversized head would reach the set point too quickly, then stir the air for nothing. The exact size is confirmed in the quote, based on the bedroom's dimensions, its insulation and its windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIts place in the multi-zone system.\u003c\/strong\u003e The cassette does not work in isolation.

The published values: 33 dB(A) at the lowest setting, 34 dB(A) at the highest. A single decibel separates the two: you do not hear the cassette change pace in the middle of a call, and its airflow stays in the background.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy 9,000 BTU for an office.\u003c\/strong\u003e An office is not sized quite like a bedroom. The computer, the screens, the printer and the person who spends the day there all give off heat, always in the same spot and often during the warmest hours. That is why people sometimes choose one step above what a bedroom of the same size would need.

The cassette still goes in: we cut a made-to-measure opening, provided there is enough clearance above, between the joists. The indoor unit measures 22.44 × 22.44 × 9.69 in; the finishing grille, larger than the cabinet, covers the opening, and that is all you see from below. Since nothing lifts out of a drywall ceiling, we fit a maintenance access hatch, placed where it is least in the way. The choice of finishing grille and control method is also confirmed in the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to put the grille in a kitchen.\u003c\/strong\u003e The location is decided by taking three elements into account:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe range hood: the cassette must not blow toward the cooking area, or it will push the steam away before the hood can capture it;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe lighting: recessed fixtures and the pendants over the island already take up part of the ceiling, and the cassette has to find its spot between them;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe structure: joists, plumbing from the floor above and the route of the refrigerant line determine where the opening is possible.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of the time, the best position is where the kitchen meets the dining room. From there, the air leaving the sides of the grille covers both areas, then returns toward the centre of the cassette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA kitchen asks more than a bedroom.\u003c\/strong\u003e An open kitchen is never a small room: it carries on into the dining room, sometimes all the way to the living room. On top of that, it takes the heat of the stove, the oven and the dishwasher, and often the late-day sun through the patio door. That kind of load is why you choose a 12,000 BTU head. The quote confirms this size based on the actual floor area, the orientation of the windows and the rooms already served by other heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for sound, the cassette produces 37 dB(A), at minimum speed as well as at maximum speed. With the refrigerator, the range hood and the conversation, that steady sound blends into the kitchen. Above all, it does not rise when the cassette speeds up while dinner is being made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne room among others on the same system.\u003c\/strong\u003e The kitchen is rarely the only room to heat and cool. In a multi-zone system, each head gets its own refrigerant line; the AUU12RLF can therefore sit alongside wall heads in the bedrooms or another cassette in the basement. The outdoor unit and all the heads form a combination that we validate in the quote, and it is on that combination, not on the cassette, that \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e certification and \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e eligibility are checked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe path of the line and the drain.\u003c\/strong\u003e The cassette's refrigerant line, 1\/4 in and 3\/8 in, runs above the ceiling to the outside wall, together with the interconnecting cable. The \u003cstrong\u003edrain\u003c\/strong\u003e follows a similar path. Depending on the available slope, the condensate drains by gravity or through a condensate pump; the quote specifies the solution chosen. This route is planned before the first cut, never after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the work, our refrigeration technician protects the counters and cabinets, cuts the opening, secures the cassette to the structure, runs the line, the cable and the drain, then makes the electrical connection, pulls the vacuum and commissions the system. The finishing grille goes on last, once the tests are done and the ceiling is clean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilters that work harder than elsewhere.\u003c\/strong\u003e Kitchen air carries fine particles of grease and moisture. The cassette's filters come out through the grille; in this room, it is worth cleaning them more often than elsewhere in the house. A clean filter keeps the cassette's airflow up and protects the inside of the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho it is for.\u003c\/strong\u003e The AUU12RLF suits homeowners renovating their kitchen who refuse to give up a wall of cabinets, families whose kitchen overheats in summer, and those preparing a multi-zone Heat Pump for the entire house who want the main room to stay uncluttered. Wi-Fi is available as an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen, a Montreal HVAC contractor, is an \u003cstrong\u003eAIRSTAGE Elite Plus\u003c\/strong\u003e installer.

The cassette, set near the middle of the ceiling, sends air out through several sides of its grille and pulls it back through the centre. The TV corner and the games corner are served from the same point. A single 18,000 BTU head also means a single refrigerant line and a single connection on the outdoor unit, where two small heads would need two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOne head or two: how we decide.\u003c\/strong\u003e A single cassette is not always the right answer.

The table shows 42 dB(A) at minimum speed and 44 dB(A) at maximum speed. In a family room, between the TV, the music and children playing, that level takes a back seat. If one corner of the room also serves as a spare bedroom, we take it into account when choosing between one head and two.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSummer in the basement.\u003c\/strong\u003e In cooling mode, the Heat Pump also removes moisture from the air while it cools it. In a large, half-buried room, you feel the effect: the air seems drier and cooler at the same set point. In winter, the same cassette heats the room from the ceiling, with no unit along the walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat hides above the tiles.\u003c\/strong\u003e A finished basement often conceals a central beam, the main duct of the furnace or the air exchanger, and a good share of the plumbing. Before choosing the location, our refrigeration technician lifts a few tiles and notes these obstacles. With its 22.44 in. cabinet, the AUU18RLF belongs to the compact format, the one that sits in a suspended ceiling with a 2 ft × 2 ft grid, provided there is the necessary clearance above; we settle the finishing grille and the control method in the quote. We secure the unit to the structure, then run its \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e, 1\/4 in and 1\/2 in, between the joists to the foundation wall, along with the interconnecting cable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe drain needs the same care. Depending on the distance and the slope to the floor drain, we plan gravity drainage or a condensate pump; the quote specifies which. Then come the electrical connection, the leak test, evacuation of the circuit, then start-up in heating as well as in cooling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance.\u003c\/strong\u003e The filters are removed through the grille. A busy family room collects dust, pet hair and lint from blankets; regular cleaning keeps the airflow up.

As long as the head is among the indoor units compatible with the chosen outdoor unit, its shape matters little. What counts is the compatibility of each head and the total of the connected capacities. Here is an example layout in a two-storey house:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea wall head in the living room, on the large wall above the sofa;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea wall head in the main bedroom, where a free wall lends itself to one;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe 7,000 BTU LUAS cassette in the small bedroom, where the only wall available is the one with the window or the bed;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea single outdoor unit for the whole set, with one refrigerant line per head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe capacity of each head and the model of the outdoor unit are chosen in the quote, room by room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy the cassette goes in the small bedroom.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a small room, every wall is precious. A wall head quickly becomes the most visible object there, often right above the bed. The cassette leaves the walls to the furniture, the frames and the window. The air leaves through several sides of the grille, returns through the centre and spreads out from the ceiling, instead of aiming at the bed from a single wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe right size, without wasting the outdoor unit.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a mixed combination, each head is chosen according to its own room, not its neighbours. For a small bedroom, the 7,000 BTU head is usually enough; giving it more would mean reserving capacity on the outdoor unit that the living room or the main bedroom would need. The calculation is done room by room, taking into account insulation, windows and orientation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe values that matter for a bedroom.\u003c\/strong\u003e The indoor sound level ranges from 27 dB(A) at the lowest speed to 33 dB(A) at full speed; at night, on low speed, the first value is the one that applies. Airflow reaches 318 CFM, spread across the sides of the grille rather than concentrated in a single stream. As for footprint, the indoor unit is 22.44 × 22.44 × 9.63 in, the compact 22.44 in. cabinet format intended for suspended ceilings with a 2 ft × 2 ft grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the quote validates before ordering.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mixing head shapes takes a little more planning than a uniform system.

In the basement, under a \u003cstrong\u003esuspended ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e, a tile simply gives up its place to the cassette. The rest is the same in both cases: mounting to the structure, connection of the refrigerant line and cable to the outdoor unit, electrical hookup, then the \u003cstrong\u003edrain\u003c\/strong\u003e, which we plan with a slope or with a condensate pump according to the path, as the quote will indicate.

On the manufacturer's side, nothing new either; it simply goes by another name since Fujitsu General Limited became GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026.

In these rooms, the person you are seeing stays still for the whole session, lying on a table or reclined in a chair. A wall unit blowing in their face, or humming just as they tell you something personal, spoils the appointment. The practitioner, for their part, needs to concentrate and speak softly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cassette meets both demands at once. It sits in the \u003cstrong\u003edrop ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e, where only the grille stays visible, and it spreads air over several sides instead of throwing it from one wall toward the treatment table.

Nothing else moved: the head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre are still in Kawasaki, Japan, the factories are the same, and AIRSTAGE products keep their model numbers and their warranty program. The Fujitsu brand is being phased out gradually, so the same cassette is still sold under both names during the transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSo we leave both pages up.

In a closed treatment room, low speed blends into the background: the building's ventilation, traffic outside the window, footsteps in the hallway. High speed is mostly there to catch up on temperature, for example when the office opens on Monday morning after sitting idle all weekend. Once the set point is reached, the machine slows back down and fades from notice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAir that targets no one.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a small office, a wall-mounted head has only one throw direction, and that direction almost always lands on the table or the chair. The cassette works differently: it draws air in at the centre of the grille and sends it back out over several sides, in a sheet along the ceiling. With an \u003cstrong\u003eairflow\u003c\/strong\u003e of 318 CFM, the room air mixes before it comes back down toward the person lying there, who feels an even temperature rather than a draft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeating when winter bites.\u003c\/strong\u003e The following values are certified by NEEP (ashp.neep.org) and looked up by the system's AHRI number.

At 3.17, one kilowatt-hour bought from Hydro-Québec becomes a little more than three kilowatt-hours of heat in the room, whereas an electric baseboard gives back exactly what it consumes. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 11.8 sums up the same idea over a full heating season; the SEER2 of 23.5 and the EER2 of 13.6 play that role for cooling. The higher these ratings, the less the office's electricity bill climbs. The system is ENERGY STAR and cold-climate certified, and Wi-Fi control is available as an option, handy for starting the heat before the first patient arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation in a working office.\u003c\/strong\u003e Our HVAC team plans the job around your appointments rather than the other way around. Here is how the installation goes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ein a drop ceiling with tiles, the cassette takes the place of one tile: its 22.44 in. cabinet is the compact format, designed to fit into a 2 ft × 2 ft grid; in a drywall ceiling, we cut an opening, and the cabinet's height, 9.63 in, sets the clearance to check above;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e (1\/4 and 3\/8 in), the cable and the drain run above the ceiling to the outside wall, with nothing visible in the room;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor condensate drainage, we plan a natural slope or a condensate pump depending on the route, and the quote spells it out;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe system is connected to a dedicated electrical circuit;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eour refrigeration technician pulls a vacuum on the line, commissions the system and tests it in heating and cooling, then walks you through the settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAccess above the ceiling must remain possible for maintenance. With tiles, that is settled in advance: you lift the neighbouring tile. In drywall, we state in the quote how that access will be provided. The finishing grille and the control method are among the items we confirm in writing in that same quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaintenance on a clinic's scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003efilters\u003c\/strong\u003e lift out through the grille, leaving the ceiling untouched. In a place that receives the public all day long, they deserve regular cleaning, a few-minute task your staff can do between two appointments.

The manufacturer has not changed factories, only its name, which has been GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026. The ENERGY STAR and cold-climate certifications are identical, as is the warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model answers a request typical of lofts and condos built inside former warehouses: heating and cooling without hanging a unit on the brick wall. That wall is often the very reason for the purchase. The ceiling, for its part, is a concrete slab where nothing can be recessed. The answer lies in the \u003cstrong\u003ebulkhead\u003c\/strong\u003e, the drywall box that already runs along the kitchen or the hallway to hide the plumbing and the ventilation ducts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cassette goes into that bulkhead. Only the grille remains visible, flush with the drywall, and the air leaves over several sides toward the open space. The brick keeps its original look, with no wall-mounted head, and the refrigerant line travels inside the box rather than across the wall, when the route allows it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GENERAL name is not a recent invention: the company, founded in 1936, marks the 90th anniversary of its founding in 2026, and it has used the GENERAL brand since 1946. What is new is the corporate name. After the acquisition by Paloma Rheem Holdings in August 2025, Fujitsu General Limited took the name GENERAL Inc. On the Canadian side, sales have been Rheem Canada's responsibility since February 2026, while our supply still goes through Groupe Master. The model numbers have not changed by a single character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a condo building, a spec sheet often travels from one neighbour to the next, or all the way to the condo association's board. Whether it carries the Fujitsu name or the GENERAL name, it has to lead to the same unit.

We compare these measurements with the real space before quoting, keeping room for the 1\/4 and 3\/8 in refrigerant line, the cable and the drain; the grille and the control method are confirmed in the quote.

The cassette runs between 28 and 37 dB(A) indoors, and its 359 CFM airflow disperses through the volume instead of crossing the room in a straight line. Outside, the outdoor unit is rated at 48.0 dB(A), a useful figure when it sits near a balcony or a neighbour's terrace. Wi-Fi control can be added as an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn installation that respects the building.\u003c\/strong\u003e Our HVAC team follows a precise sequence:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewe open the underside of the bulkhead to the size of the cassette and secure the unit to the structure intended to carry it;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe line, the cable and the drain follow the box to the outside wall, where we make a sealed opening through the masonry;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe drain flows by natural slope or through a condensate pump, depending on the route, which the quote specifies;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe system connects to a dedicated circuit, sized from the unit's nameplate: minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) of 12 A, maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) of 15 A;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eour refrigeration technician pulls the vacuum, commissions the system and runs full tests in heating and cooling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a condo, the location of the outdoor unit and the passage through the wall are decided with the condo association's approval.

The system consists of the ACUH18LUAS1 cassette and the AOUH18LUAS1 \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e, with AHRI certificate 206579745. The manufacturer, called GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026, is the one that was already producing this machine. The ENERGY STAR and cold-climate certifications remain the same, and so does the warranty: 12 years compressor, 12 years parts, 6 years labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is aimed at neighbourhood businesses: the small clothing store, the gift shop, the hair salon or the corner barber. In these spaces, the walls are already working. They hold the shelves, the displays, the mirrors and the styling stations, and there is not a single free wall left for a wall-mounted head. Above all, clients spend time seated in the same spot. A client with wet hair under a jet of cold air, or one who feels heat falling on the back of their neck during a cut, does not forget it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cassette solves both constraints. It installs in the shop's \u003cstrong\u003edrop ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it spreads air over several sides of its grille, drawing it back in at the centre. The air mixes at the ceiling before coming down toward the chairs, rather than aiming at any one station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe transition is happening in stages. The change of corporate name, from Fujitsu General Limited to GENERAL Inc., dates from the start of 2026, a few months after the acquisition by Paloma Rheem Holdings, and Rheem Canada took over Canadian sales in February 2026. For us, the supply chain does not change: Groupe Master remains our distributor. Model numbers and the warranty program are maintained as they are, and the Fujitsu brand is disappearing gradually, so the box delivered to your business may carry either logo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA business owner often compares several quotes. One mentions Fujitsu, the other GENERAL. Our two pages show that it is the same unit, and that the difference comes down to the quality of the installation. The table below proves it, value by value.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"tp-compare\" style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth

Since it blows over several sides at once, no wall gets favoured: the counter, the fitting rooms and the back of the shop each get their share. In a salon, that is what prevents one station from being too warm near the window and another too cool near the back door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeat from the dryers, humidity from the sinks.\u003c\/strong\u003e A hair salon produces its own heat: dryers, flat irons, lamps, clients. In summer, the cooling works hard, and the SEER2 of 21.5 and EER2 of 12.5 show the machine's efficiency in that role. The shampoo sinks add humidity, and the \u003cstrong\u003edehumidification\u003c\/strong\u003e capacity of 4.6 pints\/h helps keep the air comfortable for staff who stand all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinter, with the door opening onto the street.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every client who walks in lets cold air through.

The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 11.2, for its part, resembles a batting average calculated over a whole season rather than a single game: it accounts for the mild days as well as the deep cold.

At high speed, that level gets lost under the shop's music and the noise of the dryers; at low speed, at the end of the day, you no longer hear it. Outside, the outdoor unit is rated at 52.0 dB(A) and measures 31.46 × 11.42 × 24.88 in, useful figures for placing it behind the premises, away from the tables of a neighbouring terrace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAn installation that does not close your business.\u003c\/strong\u003e Whenever possible, our HVAC technicians do the job on a closing day.

Same compact cassette ACUH09KUAS, same outdoor unit AOUH09KUAS1, same AHRI certificate 215434545. It is still the same manufacturer, renamed GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. The ENERGY STAR and cold-climate certifications carry over, as does the warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe suggest it for two basement rooms where the sound of a unit stands out more than anywhere else. The first is the \u003cstrong\u003ehome theatre\u003c\/strong\u003e: lights off, sound set for the dialogue, and the slightest mechanical whoosh can be heard during a quiet scene. The second is the \u003cstrong\u003emaster bedroom\u003c\/strong\u003e set up in the basement, where you sleep, where you read and where nobody wants to hear a machine start up again in the middle of the night.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn both rooms, the cassette has a clear edge over the wall-mounted head. It takes up no wall, which leaves all the room for the screen, the speakers or the headboard. It is recessed into the ceiling, where only the grille remains visible, and at its lowest it runs at 28 dB(A).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat changed fits in a few words: an owner and a name. Paloma Rheem Holdings, which has owned Rheem since 1988, acquired Fujitsu General in August 2025, and the company has carried the name GENERAL Inc. since the start of 2026. The engineers at the Kawasaki R\u0026amp;D centre are the same, so are the factories, and the AIRSTAGE range keeps its model numbers as well as its warranty program. During the transition, the Fujitsu brand fades out little by little and the same unit circulates under both names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYou may know this cassette under the Fujitsu name, the one you saw everywhere until recently.

The first is the one you will hear almost all the time: once the room is at the right temperature, the cassette slows down and holds the set point gently. The second is mostly for start-up, when a basement that stayed cool needs warming. Even then, the gap between the two stays modest. Outside, the outdoor unit is certified at 44.0 dB(A), a point that matters when it sits under the bedroom window or near the neighbour's yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAir that does not hit the seats.\u003c\/strong\u003e In a home theatre, the seats are fixed and the audience does not move for the whole film. A wall-mounted head would send its stream onto one particular row. The cassette, for its part, draws air in at the centre and pushes it out over several sides of the grille, along the ceiling. Its 318 CFM mixes with the room air before reaching the seats or the bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe basement in the middle of winter.\u003c\/strong\u003e A finished basement stays cooler than the rest of the house, especially when it is freezing outside.

At 3.01, the machine puts three times more energy into the room as heat than it draws from the electrical panel, because it captures heat from the outdoor air instead of making it. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 11.8 is the score for an entire heating season, mild days and frigid days combined. For summer, the SEER2 of 24.4 and the EER2 of 14.5 rate the cooling, and the \u003cstrong\u003edehumidification\u003c\/strong\u003e of 1.3 pints\/h helps fight the humidity that often settles in basements.

The manufacturer has stayed the same and has been called GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026. ENERGY STAR, cold climate, a warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour: none of that changes with the name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis one-ton \u003cstrong\u003eHeat Pump\u003c\/strong\u003e targets a situation found in many SMEs: the closed office. The manager's office, the meeting room, the accounting office or the room where client calls are made. With the door shut, these rooms often escape the building's central system. They overheat in the afternoon when the sun hits the window, with computers and screens adding their heat, and they stay cold in the morning in winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMost of these offices have a \u003cstrong\u003edrop ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e with standard tiles. That is where the compact CENTAURI makes full sense: it slots into the existing grid, in place of a tile, with no demolition and no change to the building's structure. Only the grille remains visible, level with the neighbouring tiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFujitsu General Limited changed its corporate name on January 1, 2026 to become GENERAL Inc., following its acquisition by Paloma Rheem Holdings in August 2025. The head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre remain in Kawasaki, Japan, the factories do not change, and the AIRSTAGE range keeps its model numbers as well as its warranty program. The Fujitsu brand is being phased out gradually; until the transition is complete, both names coexist on the same product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor a purchasing department, that detail matters. A purchase order written under the Fujitsu name and an invoice showing GENERAL refer to the same unit, since the model numbers are identical.

The GENERAL AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 18,000 BTU matches the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 18,000 BTU feature for feature: the ACUH18KUAS cassette in the ceiling, the AOUH18KUAS1 outdoor unit outside, AHRI certificate 215434547. It comes from the same manufacturer, known since January 1, 2026 as GENERAL Inc., with the same ENERGY STAR and cold-climate certifications and the same warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe intend this one-and-a-half-ton system for the \u003cstrong\u003ewaiting room\u003c\/strong\u003e of a clinic: medical, dental, optometry, physiotherapy or veterinary. It is a room unlike any other in a building. People stay seated there, sometimes for a long time, often tired or unwell, some with their coat on their lap. In winter, the front door keeps opening onto the street. At reception, staff spend the whole day at the same station.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn this setting, comfort is judged on two points: an even temperature from one end of the room to the other, and no draft on the people sitting down. A wall-mounted head, placed above a row of chairs, does the exact opposite. The cassette, recessed in the middle of the \u003cstrong\u003edrop ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e, blows over several sides and draws air back in at the middle of its grille: the heat spreads toward every corner of the room before coming down toward the seats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1936, the company marks the 90th anniversary of its founding in 2026, as its press release of October 1, 2025 announced. As for the GENERAL name, it has served as a brand since 1946. What was added recently is a shareholder, then a name: Paloma Rheem Holdings, parent company of Rheem since 1988, acquired the manufacturer in August 2025, and the name GENERAL Inc. followed at the start of 2026. The same warranty program applies, the same factories produce the same models, and the Fujitsu brand is giving way gradually, which explains why the same cassette is still found under both names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA clinic often keeps a register of its equipment. Whether the original invoice says Fujitsu and the maintenance record says GENERAL, the model number remains ACUH18KUAS, and that is what counts. We display both pages so that the link is obvious to you and to your manager alike.

The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 11.3 gives the overall picture: it is the average efficiency across all the temperatures of a winter, and it is what shows up on the clinic's bills. In summer, the SEER2 of 21.9 and the EER2 of 12.6 rate the cooling, while the dehumidification of 4.6 pints\/h prevents the heavy air of a full room on a July afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe sound of a waiting room.\u003c\/strong\u003e The indoor unit runs between 29 and 42 dB(A).

That is the height at which a daycare's comfort is measured, and it is the kind of room we install the GENERAL AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 18,000 BTU in.

What matters to an educator or a daycare director is how this cassette moves air in a room full of children: from above, out of several sides at once, with no unit on the wall or on the floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA daycare comes with constraints a house does not have. The walls hold artwork, cubbies and coat hooks; the floor is for playing, eating and sleeping; and anything at a child's height will sooner or later be touched, pulled or climbed. A cassette recessed into the ceiling frees all of that at once: only its grille stays visible, out of reach, and the room keeps all of its usable space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new name comes from an acquisition, not a change of factory. In August 2025, Paloma Rheem Holdings, owner of Rheem since 1988, acquired Fujitsu General, which took the name GENERAL Inc. at the turn of 2026. The head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre stayed in Kawasaki, Japan, and so did the factories; AIRSTAGE products kept their model numbers as well as their warranty program. In Canada, Rheem Canada has handled sales since February 2026, and Groupe Master remains our distributor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the transition, the Fujitsu logo is gradually disappearing from the boxes, and the same machine is sold under both names. That is why we keep both product pages online: the director who searches for \"Fujitsu\" on a colleague's recommendation should land on exactly the same unit as the one who types \"GENERAL\".

Instead of a single jet that leaves a wall and hits whatever stands in front of it, the air spreads out in a layer and then settles slowly toward the floor. \u003cstrong\u003eAirflow\u003c\/strong\u003e reaches 618 CFM at top speed; spread across several outlets, it mixes the whole room. In winter, that is what gets rid of the cold corner by the window, the one where nobody wants to play. In summer, it is what cools the room without blowing on a sleeping child.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA quiet background for nap time.\u003c\/strong\u003e At its lowest speed, the indoor unit runs at 28 dB(A); at its highest, at 34 dB(A). During nap time the fan idles along and blends into the calm of the room. Outside, the outdoor unit runs at 52 dB(A): we choose its location with you, away from the windows of the nap room and out of the yard where the children play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeating a room where life happens at floor level.\u003c\/strong\u003e The following values are certified and published on NEEP (ashp.neep.org) under AHRI certificate 215434552.

At −15 °C, it can climb to 17,100 BTU, with a COP of 2.28. At −21 °C, the coldest point of its certification and the limit of its guaranteed heating, it still delivers up to 14,400 BTU, with a COP of 2.06. On a January morning, as the first parents arrive, it is still producing twice as much heat as the electricity it consumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver a full season, the \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 11.4 sums up heating efficiency: the higher the number, the less the unit uses to deliver the same heat. In summer, the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 26.3 and the EER2 of 13.6 mean economical cooling, and dehumidification of up to 3.6 pints\/h removes the moisture given off by a room full of children on the move.

In a \u003cstrong\u003esuspended ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e, we therefore adapt the grid around the unit; in a drywall ceiling, we cut an opening to fit the cabinet, after confirming there is enough clearance above.

The GENERAL AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 24,000 BTU takes that last item out of the décor by moving up to the ceiling. It is the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 24,000 BTU under the name its manufacturer has carried since January 1, 2026, GENERAL Inc. The \u003cstrong\u003eceiling cassette\u003c\/strong\u003e AUUH24KUAS and the outdoor unit AOUH24KUAS1 are the same, as are the AHRI certificate 215434553, the ENERGY STAR certifications and the warranty: compressor and parts covered for 12 years, labour for 6 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA dining room asks three things of its HVAC system: hold comfort through the lunch rush as well as through a quieter dinner service, blow on no one in particular, and fade into the décor. A ceiling cassette answers all three. The owner keeps the walls for booths, mirrors and bottle shelves; the guests, for their part, eat without a jet of cold air on the back of their necks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe new name follows the acquisition of Fujitsu General by Paloma Rheem Holdings, the group that has owned Rheem since 1988, in August 2025. Everything else stayed put: same head office and same R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, Japan, same factories, same AIRSTAGE products sold under the same model numbers, same warranty program. Rheem Canada has handled Canadian sales since February 2026, and we keep sourcing from Groupe Master, our distributor. Our AIRSTAGE Elite Plus installer status applies to both versions, which we install and service the same way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fujitsu brand is being phased out; until the transition is over, the same machine may arrive in a box bearing either logo.

Same cassette, same outdoor unit, same certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe cassette principle suits a restaurant dining room well. Air returns at the centre of the grille and is supplied through several sides, along the ceiling, which distributes it toward every table at once instead of concentrating it in front of one wall. With \u003cstrong\u003eairflow\u003c\/strong\u003e reaching 677 CFM, the CENTAURI mixes the room without creating that table \"by the air conditioner\" that regulars avoid and staff end up giving to customers in a hurry. We position it from the floor plan, above the centre aisle rather than above a table, and not wherever the line is easiest to run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNoise matters too, but not the way it does in a bedroom. In the dining room, at 30 to 36 dB(A) depending on fan speed, the indoor unit disappears under the music and the conversation. The outdoor unit, at 52 dB(A), takes more thought: we place it behind the building or on the roof, away from the patio and the neighbours' windows, with enough clearance for it to breathe and for defrost water to drain without forming ice in the walkway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn summer, a dining room's load comes from everywhere: the storefront window in the sun, the kitchen door swinging open and shut, the guests themselves. Two numbers capture it. The \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 23.2 measures how economical the cooling is over the whole season, and the EER2 of 13.1 its efficiency on the hottest days, the ones when the room is packed and the mercury is at its peak. Dehumidification of up to 6.1 pints\/h removes the moisture that comes in with kitchen steam and on rainy evenings; a drier room feels cooler at the same temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn winter, the front door rules. Every arriving guest lets in a gust of cold air, and the Heat Pump has to make up for it without flagging. NEEP (ashp.neep.org) publishes, for AHRI certificate 215434553, certified values that show how much reserve it has: 17,800 BTU at −8 °C, at the standard test point, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 3.22, meaning more than three units of heat for every unit of electricity; up to 23,600 BTU at −15 °C, with a COP of 2.12; and still up to 21,000 BTU at −21 °C, the temperature down to which its heating is guaranteed, with a COP of 1.89. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 11.0 sums up the whole winter: the higher it is, the less heating costs for the same comfort. The model carries ENERGY STAR certification for cold climates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith its 33.07 in. square cabinet, this cassette belongs to the series' large format: it is larger than a standard 2 ft × 2 ft suspended-ceiling cell. Here is how we carry out the installation in a dining room:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe survey: during the visit, we open a tile or a hatch to measure the space above the ceiling, which must accommodate a cabinet 9.69 in. high, and we locate joists, sprinklers and light fixtures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe opening: in a \u003cstrong\u003esuspended ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e, we modify the grid around the unit; in drywall, we cut to the cabinet's template and provide access for maintenance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe route: the 1\/4 and 1\/2 in refrigerant line, the cable and the drain run above the ceiling; the drain flows by gravity when the slope allows it, otherwise through a condensate pump, and that choice, which depends on the route, is written into the quote.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrical: a dedicated circuit, set up from the MCA value of 16 A and the MOP value of 20 A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommissioning: pressure test, evacuation, first start-up, airflow check and an explanation of the chosen control method for the manager.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe carry out this work outside service hours, preferably on the day the restaurant is closed, and the room reopens clean, with no construction smell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA dining room is not a kitchen, but the air there carries odours and fine droplets of grease. The filters are reached through the grille, from a stepladder, and washed between services; the cleaner they stay, the better the cassette holds its airflow and efficiency. We advise against placing it above the pass or too close to the kitchen, where grease would foul the coil much faster. The rest falls to our refrigeration technician during scheduled maintenance visits: cleaning the coil, checking the pan and the drain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs for the grant, Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program assigns $2,136 to this model in its list published on October 27, 2026. A restaurant does not qualify automatically: it all comes down to the building and the applicant, a review we carry out with you before counting on it in any calculation. If the amount applies, the quote confirms it, and the invoice lists both model numbers along with the AHRI certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe CENTAURI 24,000 BTU is meant for the neighbourhood restaurant, bistro, café or brasserie whose dining room forms a single space, with a ceiling that can take a large-format cassette. It also suits the owner who is replacing ageing wall units and wants to free up the walls along the way. Wi-Fi is available as an option, handy for starting the heat before the morning crew arrives. Capacity is still confirmed on site, though: a heavily glazed room, an open kitchen or a half-buried basement do not call for the same thing, and our estimator runs the numbers before confirming this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eYour dining room in Chambly, comfortable with nothing on the wall\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen installs the CENTAURI 24,000 BTU in Chambly and throughout the South Shore, and we also cover Montreal, Laval, Longueuil and the North Shore. The quote is free: we come to see the room and the ceiling, we take measurements, and the document you receive specifies the models, the finishing grille, the control method, the route of the line and the solution chosen for the drain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne call to 514 316-2973 is enough to book the visit, during the quiet mid-afternoon hours if that suits you best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"GENERAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67943848083748,"sku":"215434553","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/1694\/6724\/files\/00_THERMOPOMPE_CASSETTE_DE_PLAFOND_GRAND_FORMAT_GENERAL_AIRSTAGE_CENTAURI_24000_BTU_CARTE_PRINCIPALE_MONTREAL_LAVAL_LONGUEUIL_RIVE_SUD_RIVE_NORD_68d26d78-ad47-4d25-80ca-5ea9e1bf8911.png?v=1793137380"},{"product_id":"thermopompe-cassette-de-plafond-large-general-airstage-30000-btu","title":"GENERAL AIRSTAGE CENTAURI Wide Ceiling Cassette Heat Pump | 30000 BTU","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGENERAL AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 30,000 BTU Ceiling Cassette Heat Pump: one cassette in the middle of an open-plan office\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTen to fifteen workstations in pods, a row of windows on one side, the meeting room and the kitchenette on the other: that is the typical open-plan layout of a small business office, and it is the layout for which we propose the GENERAL AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 30,000 BTU, installed on its own in the middle of the ceiling. Under that name, you get the \u003cstrong\u003eceiling cassette\u003c\/strong\u003e AUUH30KUAS, the outdoor unit AOUH30KUAS1 and the AHRI certificate 215434554 of the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE CENTAURI 30,000 BTU, with the same certifications and the same warranty, namely 12 years for the compressor as for parts and 6 years for labour. The manufacturer has not changed either; it has simply carried the name GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea fits in one sentence: rather than hanging several wall units along the partitions, each with its own line and drain, you bring comfort together in a single indoor unit at the heart of the room. Fewer holes through the building envelope, a single outdoor unit to place, a single maintenance point, and walls that stay free for screens, whiteboards and filing cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn August 2025, Paloma Rheem Holdings, which has owned Rheem since 1988, acquired Fujitsu General; the GENERAL Inc. name took effect the following January 1. Nothing else moved: the Kawasaki head office and R\u0026amp;D centre in Japan, the factories, the AIRSTAGE model numbers and the warranty program have all stayed the same. Canadian sales have gone through Rheem Canada since February 2026, and we still buy from Groupe Master. The GENERAL trademark, for its part, has been in use since 1946; the company, founded in 1936, marks the 90th anniversary of its founding in 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Fujitsu logo is being phased out, both names coexist on the same machine. Both product pages therefore stay online: if your architect or your building manager refers to Fujitsu, you will find the identical unit under the other name.

Both pages refer to the same AHRI certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA single cassette can serve an entire open-plan area because of the way it blows. It takes air in through the middle of its grille and pushes the treated air out through several sides at the same time, sending it gliding along the ceiling. Its \u003cstrong\u003eairflow\u003c\/strong\u003e, up to 942 CFM, thus leaves in several directions: the CENTAURI mixes the whole volume of the room instead of serving only the wall a unit would be hung on. Placed in the centre, it puts every workstation at a comparable distance from the source: nobody inherits the seat under the jet, and nobody inherits the one that stays lukewarm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn an office, the noise that bothers people is the noise they notice during a phone call or a video meeting. The indoor unit ranges from 33 dB(A) at low speed to 40 dB(A) at full speed: at low speed, it gets lost in the background of keyboards and conversation; at high speed, on a July afternoon, it remains a steady breath of air. The outdoor unit, at 55 dB(A), goes on the roof or on the ground behind the building, away from windows that open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn occupied office produces its own heat. Computers, screens, lighting and the people themselves give it off all day, and the row of windows adds more as soon as the sun comes around. So the summer numbers carry a lot of weight here: the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 22.4 measures cooling consumption over the season, and the \u003cstrong\u003eEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 12.5 measures efficiency in high heat, when everyone is in. Dehumidification of up to 6.3 pints\/h keeps the air dry during humid weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn winter, the same unit heats the open-plan area. Under AHRI certificate 215434554, the NEEP database (ashp.neep.org) lists the following certified values: 21,200 BTU at −8 °C as the reference capacity, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 3.17; up to 28,000 BTU at −15 °C, with a COP of 2.12; and up to 24,000 BTU at −21 °C, with a COP of 1.88. COP compares the heat delivered with the electricity consumed: at 3.17, the Heat Pump returns more than three times what it draws from the grid, and at −21 °C, the floor of its guaranteed heating, it still returns almost double. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 10.6 averages out the whole winter; it is the number to look at when estimating a season's heating bill. The model is ENERGY STAR certified for cold climates. With the Wi-Fi option, the Monday morning warm-up can be scheduled so the room is ready when the team arrives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore recommending a single cassette, our estimator checks the points that decide everything on site:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe shape of the open area\u003c\/strong\u003e: a single continuous floor plan is well served from the centre; an L-shaped or very elongated plan may call for a different layout.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe partitions\u003c\/strong\u003e: partitions that go up to the ceiling cut off air circulation; the low panels of workstations do not.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe closed offices\u003c\/strong\u003e: those whose door stays shut all day are handled separately, with their own unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e: its type, the space available above it and what already occupies it, lighting, detectors, sprinklers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe real load\u003c\/strong\u003e: windows, orientation, number of workstations and equipment; this calculation is what confirms the 30,000 BTU or points to another step in the series.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis CENTAURI's cabinet measures 33.07 × 33.07 × 11.34 in.: this is the large format, wider than the 2 ft × 2 ft cells of a suspended ceiling, and it needs a ceiling cavity deep enough for its height. In a \u003cstrong\u003esuspended ceiling\u003c\/strong\u003e, we remove the tiles needed, adapt the grid around the unit and secure the unit to the building structure; in drywall, we open to the size of the cabinet and install an access hatch. Above the ceiling, the refrigerant line (3\/8 and 5\/8 in), the cable and the drain travel to the outdoor unit. Condensate drains by slope or by pump, depending on what the route allows; the quote specifies it, as it does the finishing grille and the control method. A dedicated circuit is set up from the MCA value of 20 A and the MOP value of 25 A. Commissioning (leak test, circuit evacuation, start-up, airflow measurement) is done before the employees return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor maintenance, a central cassette has a practical advantage: only one unit to look after. The grille gives direct access to the filters; a designated employee cleans them from a stepladder and puts them back once dry. At each maintenance call, our refrigeration technician checks the coil, the condensate pan and drain, the R-32 charge and the outdoor unit. The parts are those of the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE, and we service the unit under both names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list dated October 27, 2026, this model may qualify for $2,544. For an office, it all depends on the building and on the person applying; we review both points with you before including the amount in the calculation. When it applies, it appears in the quote, and the invoice identifies both units and their AHRI certificate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis cassette is made for the accounting firm, the engineering firm, the agency or the small business office that occupies a single continuous open-plan area, under a ceiling able to take the large format. The owner of an office building who is renovating a floor also comes out ahead, with one unit per area rather than a series of wall units to maintain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA comfortable open-plan office in Boisbriand and on the North Shore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur HVAC crews install the CENTAURI 30,000 BTU in Boisbriand and throughout the North Shore, as well as in Laval, Montreal, Longueuil and on the South Shore. For an open-plan area, the free quote includes the ceiling survey, the check of the partitions and the load calculation that confirms the capacity; you receive a clear document, with both model numbers and the AHRI certificate, to add to your purchasing file.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo book it, call 514 316-2973. If you have the floor plan, keep it handy: it saves us time on site.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"GENERAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67943848116516,"sku":"215434554","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/1694\/6724\/files\/00_THERMOPOMPE_CASSETTE_DE_PLAFOND_GRAND_FORMAT_GENERAL_AIRSTAGE_CENTAURI_30000_BTU_CARTE_PRINCIPALE_MONTREAL_LAVAL_LONGUEUIL_RIVE_SUD_RIVE_NORD_7b2019f3-6771-4a08-92e3-d6a6661eacfd.png?v=1793137381"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/1694\/6724\/collections\/00_THERMOPOMPE_CASSETTE_DE_PLAFOND_GRAND_FORMAT_GENERAL_AIRSTAGE_CENTAURI_48000_BTU_CARTE_PRINCIPALE_MONTREAL_LAVAL_LONGUEUIL_RIVE_SUD_RIVE_NORD_86f22025-a117-424c-9062-63c8040e100a.png?v=1793184581","url":"https:\/\/airgreen.ca\/en\/collections\/cassette-de-plafond-general-airstage-installation-a-montreal-laval-longueuil-rive-sud-rive-nord.oembed","provider":"AirGreen Climatisation \u0026 Chauffage \/ Air Conditioning \u0026 Heating","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
