The twin Fujitsu AIRSTAGE uses exactly these two units: Fujitsu General Limited took the name GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026, and the manufacturer’s spec sheet and the warranty remain identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt answers a specific request: cooling and heating a bedroom or a study in a greystone house where a wall-mounted head has no place. Mouldings, original plaster, woodwork: nobody wants a white appliance above the window. The solution fits in a closet ceiling. The indoor unit is only \u003cstrong\u003e7 25\/32 in. (198 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e tall, under 8 in., and its \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e settles the water question where no drain is within reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet us be clear from the start about what it is. It is an R-410A slim duct heat pump, designed for one room and short ducts. It carries no cold climate designation, and we discuss that plainly below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGENERAL Inc. is the new name of Fujitsu General Limited, following its acquisition in August 2025 by Paloma Rheem Holdings, owner of Rheem since 1988. Nothing was moved: the head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre are in Kawasaki, Japan, as before, the factories build the same AIRSTAGE units under the same model numbers, and the warranty program is unchanged. The Fujitsu brand is leaving the market in stages; until then, each machine exists under both labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf we show both product pages, it is so you know you are comparing the same thing: the table below confirms it, row by row. The GENERAL name is not new, for that matter: the brand has been in use since 1946, and the company, founded in 1936, celebrates in 2026 the 90th anniversary of its founding. In Canada, sales have been handled by Rheem Canada since February 2026; we buy from Groupe Master, our distributor, and we install these systems as an AIRSTAGE Elite Plus

It measures 27.56 in. wide by 24.41 in. deep and weighs 41 lb (19 kg): the support that carries it has to be planned carefully, especially in an old house. From there, a short supply duct opens into the bedroom through a grille, and a \u003cstrong\u003ereturn air\u003c\/strong\u003e grille brings the air back to the unit. An access hatch in the closet ceiling gives access to the filter; you reach it with a step ladder, without touching the bedroom plaster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis layout suits the unit because it works with an external \u003cstrong\u003estatic pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e of 0 to 0.36 in. WC. In plain terms: it likes short ducts and few grilles. A bedroom or study next to the closet is exactly its territory. Asking it to serve a whole floor through a long duct system would be asking it to do what it was not designed for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, the condensate. In cooling, the unit removes up to 1.5 pints of water per hour. In a closet in the middle of the house, there is often no natural slope toward a drain; the built-in pump lifts the water and sends it to the planned drain, with no separate pump to fit next to the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a bedroom, silence comes first. In cooling, the manufacturer’s spec sheet gives 28 dB(A) at high speed, going down to 25 dB(A) at quiet speed. Since the unit sits in the closet and not above the bed, what you hear at night is limited to the breath of the grille. Airflow ranges from 265 CFM at quiet speed to 353 CFM at high speed. Outside, the AOU9RLFC puts out 44 dB(A) in cooling and 49 dB(A) in heating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the manufacturer’s spec sheet publishes for capacities:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecooling: \u003cstrong\u003e9,000 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e nominal, variable from 3,100 to 12,000 BTU;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eheating: \u003cstrong\u003e12,000 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e nominal at 8.3 °C outdoors, variable from 3,100 to 18,000 BTU;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoperating range: heating down to −21 °C outdoors, cooling from −10 °C to 46 °C outdoors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat these figures do not say: the nominal heating capacity is measured at 8.3 °C, and it drops when it gets colder, as with any heat pump. The manufacturer states a heating range down to −21 °C, which means the unit still runs at that temperature; it does not mean it can heat the room alone in January. In a greystone house, the existing heating, radiators or baseboards, stays in place, and we assess \u003cstrong\u003ebackup heating\u003c\/strong\u003e for the coldest days with you. The rest of the year, the heat pump takes over in the shoulder seasons and cools in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer’s spec sheet lists it as \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e certified. As for LogisVert, it is not listed: no Hydro-Québec grant applies. As for seasonal efficiency ratings, the ones circulating for this model come from older measurement methods; we do not repeat them here, and the attached spec sheet gives the efficiency details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the outdoor unit, the \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e can reach 66 ft (20 m), with a precharge for 49 ft (15 m), a minimum length of 10 ft (3 m) and a maximum height difference of 49 ft (15 m). That is enough for a bedroom on the second floor and an outdoor unit in the backyard rather than on the front façade. The 1\/4 and 3\/8 in. refrigerant line, the cable and the drain pass through the stone wall through an opening we plan with you. On the electrical side, it needs a minimum circuit ampacity of 13.4 A and maximum overcurrent protection of 15 A.

You may know the same pair under the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE brand: they are the same units, because the manufacturer is the same. Since January 1, 2026, Fujitsu General Limited simply goes by the name GENERAL Inc., with the same manufacturer’s spec sheet and the same warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system fits a type of home found in converted factories: the loft. High ceilings, exposed brick or concrete, big windows, an open area where you live, cook and eat in the same place. What you will not find there is a free wall for a wall-mounted head that does not clash with everything else. The bathroom, on the other hand, almost always has a lower ceiling than the open area. That is where the unit hides, or above the kitchen, and it blows toward the open area through two grilles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe condition is proximity. This slim duct unit works with a \u003cstrong\u003estatic pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e of 0 to 0.36 in. WC: short \u003cstrong\u003educts\u003c\/strong\u003e, few elbows, few grilles.

Paloma Rheem Holdings, to which Rheem has belonged since 1988, took ownership of Fujitsu General Limited in August 2025, and the company became GENERAL Inc. on New Year’s Day 2026. What matters to you stayed put: Kawasaki, Japan, for the head office and research and development, the same factories, the same AIRSTAGE products and model numbers, the same warranty program. The Fujitsu name is gradually stepping back, and the same machine is sold under both names for the length of the transition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we publish both product pages. The table below sets them in columns: same values, row after row. Since February 2026, Rheem Canada has been the one selling the range here.

We hang it in that dropped ceiling, build in an access hatch for the filter, and two short supply ducts run to the grilles aimed at the open area. A \u003cstrong\u003ereturn air\u003c\/strong\u003e grille brings the air from the main room back to the unit. The exact layout and the position of the grilles are decided at the visit, according to the ceiling structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the unit goes above the kitchen instead, we place it away from the range hood and give you fair warning: next to the stove, the filter needs more attention.

In heating, warm air rises toward those high ceilings; in cooling, the big factory windows let in a lot of afternoon sun.

If it is not, we will say so before the installation, not after.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are the capacities the manufacturer’s spec sheet publishes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecooling of \u003cstrong\u003e12,000 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e, modulating between 3,100 and 13,600 BTU;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eheating of \u003cstrong\u003e16,000 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e at 8.3 °C outdoors, modulating between 3,100 and 19,400 BTU;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eup to 383 CFM of airflow at high speed, 283 CFM at quiet speed;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eheating possible down to −21 °C outdoors and cooling from −10 °C outdoors, according to the manufacturer’s operating range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat range does not make this system a deep-cold appliance. It carries no cold climate designation, and its nominal heating capacity, measured at 8.3 °C, decreases as the outdoor temperature drops. The manufacturer states it heats down to −21 °C; it does not promise that it alone covers the loft’s needs at that temperature. We therefore assess \u003cstrong\u003ebackup heating\u003c\/strong\u003e for the coldest days with you, often the baseboards or convectors already in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn certification, the manufacturer’s spec sheet states that the system is \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is not on Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list: no grant. The seasonal efficiency figures published for this model come from older measurement methods and are not repeated here; for efficiency details and dimensioned drawings, the spec sheet attached to this page is the reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoise, in an open area, stands out more than elsewhere, since there are no doors. In cooling, the indoor unit runs between 29 dB(A) at high speed and 26 dB(A) at quiet speed, according to the manufacturer’s spec sheet, and since it is enclosed in the bathroom ceiling, what you mostly hear is the air at the grilles. The AOU12RLFC outdoor unit is rated at 49 dB(A) in cooling and 50 dB(A) in heating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat leaves the outdoor unit, and this is often where everything is decided in an old industrial building. Balcony, roof or ground: the \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e can reach 66 ft (20 m), precharged for 49 ft (15 m), with a minimum length of 10 ft (3 m). Above all, the height difference between the two units must not exceed 49 ft (15 m): for a loft on an upper floor with an outdoor unit at ground level, that limit can decide the location. In a condominium, the location of the outdoor unit and the wall opening generally fall under the syndicate; the attached spec sheet will help with the request. Piping is 1\/4 and 3\/8 in., and the electrical circuit needs a minimum circuit ampacity of 13.4 A, with maximum overcurrent protection of 15 A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo control is included with the system.

It is the machine of the twin Fujitsu AIRSTAGE, without the slightest difference: the manufacturer is still the same, Fujitsu General Limited, renamed GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026, and the manufacturer’s spec sheet and the warranty are those of the Fujitsu version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical case: a basement fitted out as an intergenerational suite, for a parent or a grown child, with a ceiling that is already low, a main beam and existing ducts that eat up a few more inches. In a space like that, every inch of height is worth fighting for. At \u003cstrong\u003e7 13\/16 in. (198 mm)\u003c\/strong\u003e tall, the indoor unit slips into a bulkhead, often the one already hiding the beam, and heats and cools the suite through short ducts, with no wall head in the downstairs living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBefore going further, three frank points. First, the manufacturer’s spec sheet is clear: this system is \u003cstrong\u003enot ENERGY STAR certified\u003c\/strong\u003e. It is \u003cstrong\u003enot listed with LogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e, so there is no Hydro-Québec grant. And it is not a deep-cold appliance: backup heating has to be planned.

Besides its height, the ARU18RLF measures 35.44 in. wide by 24.44 in. deep and weighs 49 lb (22 kg). It installs under the joists, in a bulkhead or in the ceiling of a laundry room or closet in the suite, with an access hatch for the filter. The supply \u003cstrong\u003educts\u003c\/strong\u003e reach the living room and the bedroom, and a \u003cstrong\u003ereturn air\u003c\/strong\u003e grille brings the air back to the unit. The route and the number of grilles are set at the visit, based on what the ceiling lets through.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat route has to stay short. Like the other slim duct units in the series, this one works with a \u003cstrong\u003estatic pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e of 0 to 0.36 in. WC. In a basement suite of ordinary size, with a few grilles close to the unit, it is the right tool. To serve the upper floor or a long hallway as well, you would need a medium static pressure unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capacities from the manufacturer’s spec sheet:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecooling of \u003cstrong\u003e18,000 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e, between 3,100 and 20,100 BTU depending on demand;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eheating of \u003cstrong\u003e21,600 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e at 8.3 °C outdoors, between 3,100 and 25,600 BTU depending on demand;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emaximum airflow of 554 CFM, or 442 CFM at quiet speed;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eup to 4.2 pints of water pulled from the air every hour.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat last figure matters more than you would think in a basement. In summer, the air down there is often heavy and humid; in cooling, the unit pulls that water out and the \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e sends it to the planned drain, even if the drain is not lower than the unit. No bucket to empty, no separate pump to add.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor winter, let us be precise. The operating range published by the manufacturer goes down to −21 °C outdoors in heating and starts at −10 °C in cooling. That range says how far the unit keeps running, not what it delivers at that temperature: its nominal heating capacity is given at 8.3 °C, and the system carries no cold climate designation. The suite’s electric baseboards, if it has them, therefore stay in place as \u003cstrong\u003ebackup heating\u003c\/strong\u003e for the coldest days, and we assess that need with you at the visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack to the ENERGY STAR question. The “Energy Star” line on the manufacturer’s spec sheet reads No for this 18,000 BTU model, and we show it as is. LogisVert does not list it either. As for seasonal ratings, for this model they date from older test methods: we do not quote them, and the attached spec sheet gives the efficiency figures and the dimensioned drawings. If the grant weighs more for you than the inches of ceiling, tell us: we will compare with listed systems that could suit your basement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the person living downstairs, comfort also comes down to noise and controls. The manufacturer’s spec sheet puts the indoor unit, in cooling, at 32 dB(A) at high speed and 27 dB(A) at quiet speed. Outdoors, the AOU18RLFC is rated at 52 dB(A) in cooling and 55 dB(A) in heating; we keep it away from bedroom windows, those in the basement as well as those upstairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo control is included. For an intergenerational suite, here are the accessories from the spec sheet that make the most sense:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-RVNUM backlit wired control, easy to read in a dim hallway, or UTY-RSNUM simple control;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-LRHUM wireless receiver kit, with a remote;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-TFNXZ2 Wi-Fi module or Intesis modules, so the family upstairs can keep an eye on things remotely;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-XSZX remote sensor, to measure the temperature where the occupant actually lives;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-TTRX converter, if a third-party thermostat is already in place in the basement;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTD-GXSB-W grille with auto louver, along with the UTD-ECS5A connector kit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAutomatic restart\u003c\/strong\u003e deserves a mention: after a power outage, the system resumes its settings without anyone having to go downstairs. Add to that automatic changeover between heating and cooling, the 24-hour and weekly timer, economy mode and auto fan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the installation side, the spec sheet allows up to 66 ft (20 m) of 1\/4 and 1\/2 in. \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e; the unit is precharged for 49 ft (15 m), the minimum length is 10 ft (3 m) and the height difference cannot exceed 49 ft (15 m). From a basement, the outdoor unit generally goes in the side or back yard, on a base or a bracket. The electrical circuit needs a minimum circuit ampacity of 17.3 A and maximum overcurrent protection of 20 A, to be checked in the house panel. A refrigeration technician handles start-up and final adjustments; on warranty, count on 12 years for the compressor as for parts, and 6 years for labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut plainly, this system is for the basement suite that wants its own comfort, heating and cooling, without giving up the ceiling height it has left.

They are exactly the two units of the twin Fujitsu AIRSTAGE LUAS1: same manufacturer, same spec sheet, same warranty. Only the label has changed: Fujitsu General Limited now goes by GENERAL Inc., a name it has carried since January 1, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe listing title says air conditioning, but the system works in both seasons.

It is where you sleep with the window shut in a heat wave, where a fan that is a little too present ends up keeping you awake, and where many owners refuse a wall unit above the bed. The ducted unit disappears into a bulkhead or the walk-in ceiling, and the air comes in through a grille.

In August 2025, Paloma Rheem Holdings, the parent company of Rheem since 1988, buys Fujitsu General Limited; on January 1, 2026, the company becomes GENERAL Inc. On the technical side, nothing moved: head office and research and development centre remain in Kawasaki, Japan, the factories don’t change, and AIRSTAGE products keep both their model numbers and their warranty program. Founded in 1936, the company marks the 90th anniversary of its founding in 2026; the GENERAL trademark, for its part, has been in use since 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Fujitsu brand is phased out, the same machine is sold under both names: so we keep both product pages online, and the table below lines up identical values.

In the bedroom, all that remains is a ceiling grille and, in the hallway or the closet, an access panel. At just \u003cstrong\u003e7 13\/16 in. (198 mm) high\u003c\/strong\u003e, the ADUH09LUAS1 is built for tight spaces. It measures 27.56 in. wide by 24.44 in. deep, and that footprint is the first thing we check: in a condo, a bulkhead may already hold plumbing, sprinklers or ventilation ducts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet’s talk about noise, since it is the whole point of this installation. In cooling mode, the manufacturer’s sheet details four speeds, from 28 dB(A) at high speed down to 25 dB(A) at quiet speed; the table sums up the indoor unit’s range, from 24 to 28 dB(A). At quiet speed, airflow drops to 265 CFM, compared with 353 CFM at maximum. Once the bedroom is at the right temperature, there is no reason to stay at high speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grille matters as much as the machine. We position it so the air runs along the ceiling instead of falling on the pillow, and the return air is planned so bedroom air can get back to the unit even with the door closed. As an option, the \u003cstrong\u003eauto louver grille\u003c\/strong\u003e UTD-GXTA-W, sold separately, replaces the fixed grille with a motorized louver that directs the airflow; at the visit, we tell you whether your ceiling suits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outdoor unit deserves the same attention. According to the sheet, it runs at 44 dB(A) in cooling and 48 dB(A) in heating. On a condo balcony, it sits a few steps from your window and your neighbour’s: we look with you for the least exposed spot, on a pad or a bracket, within the rules of your condo association, which must also approve the penetration through the exterior wall. The refrigerant line can reach 66 ft (20 m), with a maximum height difference of 49 ft (15 m) and a minimum length of 16 ft (5 m); the unit is precharged for 49 ft (15 m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNominal capacity is \u003cstrong\u003e9,000 BTU in cooling\u003c\/strong\u003e, within a range of 3,100 to 11,000 BTU depending on demand. In heating, the sheet lists 12,000 BTU at 8.3 °C outdoors, within a range of 3,100 to 16,000 BTU. That flexibility lets the system slow down in a small room instead of constantly starting and stopping, which helps keep things quiet. Its dehumidification capacity of 1.5 pints per hour also makes humid July nights more comfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor winter, let’s be frank. The manufacturer states a heating range down to −21 °C outdoors and a cooling range down to −10 °C. This system is not a certified cold climate heat pump, and we do not present it as one. In a condo, the electric baseboards or the building’s heating stay in place: we look with you at which \u003cstrong\u003ebackup heating\u003c\/strong\u003e to keep for the deep cold, and the heat pump takes care of comfort the rest of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system is ENERGY STAR certified according to the manufacturer’s sheet. However, it is not on Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list of October 27, 2026, and no grant applies. For detailed performance data and dimensioned drawings, see the spec sheet attached to this product, in French and English. The warranty, identical under both names, gives the compressor 12 years of coverage, the parts 12 years and labour 6 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo control is included; you choose one based on how you use the bedroom:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-RNRUZ5 backlit wired remote, readable in the dark, mounted near the door;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-RSRY simple remote, for anyone who wants to set the temperature and nothing else;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-LBTUM IR receiver kit with wireless remote, to adjust the room without getting out of bed;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-TFSXZ2 Wi-Fi adapter, to start the cooling from your phone before you get home;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-TTRX converter, if you want a thermostat from another brand;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-XSZX remote sensor, which reads the temperature in the bedroom rather than in the ceiling next to the unit.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24-hour timer and the weekly timer handle the bedtime and wake-up schedule, economy mode tempers output when the gap is small, and auto restart brings the system back with the same settings after a power outage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the visit, we set the duct layout, the location of the grille and the return air, and the position of the access panel. The indoor unit, which weighs 37 lb (17 kg), is hung above the ceiling, then the refrigerant line (1\/4 in. and 3\/8 in. piping), the cable and the drain run to the outdoor unit. Because a concrete slab rarely offers a gravity drain within reach, the \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e moves the water to the planned discharge point. The system runs on 208\/230 V, with a minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) of 9.3 A and a maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) of 15 A, and a refrigeration technician handles commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter is cleaned through the access panel, regularly during the warm season, and a technician periodically checks the indoor unit, the pump drain and the outdoor unit. A clean filter means a fan that doesn’t strain, and so a bedroom that stays quiet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model suits the primary bedroom of a condo, a guest room or a closed office, anywhere one room, or two neighbouring rooms, need to be conditioned with no visible unit.

The 12,000 BTU Fujitsu AIRSTAGE LUAS1 is the same system, part for part: the manufacturer, Fujitsu General Limited, has been called GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026, without the spec sheet or the warranty changing at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe words “air conditioning” in the product name don’t tell the whole story.

In August 2025, Paloma Rheem Holdings, the owner of Rheem since 1988, purchased Fujitsu General Limited; on January 1, 2026, the company adopted the name GENERAL Inc. AIRSTAGE products come out of the same factories, are designed at the same R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, where the head office still stands, and keep their model numbers along with their warranty program. The company, founded in 1936, celebrates 90 years since its founding in 2026, while the GENERAL trademark has been in use since 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the Fujitsu name is gradually retired, this machine is offered under both names, and we display both product pages so you can choose with full knowledge: the values in the table are identical from one column to the other.

The slim duct unit hangs in the space above the tiles, and a removable tile serves as the access panel. At 7 13\/16 in. (198 mm) high, it makes do with a shallow plenum, and its short ducts serve one grille, sometimes two. The return air is taken in the room itself, so the room stays comfortable with the door closed during an appointment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit’s static pressure ranges from 0 to 0.36 in. WC. Put simply, it is made for short ducts and few grilles: one consultation room, or a room and the small office next door. An entire clinic, with its reception area and hallways, calls for a different design, and we will tell you so at the visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrille placement makes the difference between a comfortable room and a room where you feel the air. We keep it away from the exam table and the patient’s chair, and we direct the airflow along the ceiling. The UTD-GXTA-W auto louver grille, available as an option, steers the flow with a motorized louver. The unit delivers 383 CFM at maximum and 283 CFM at quiet speed, and auto fan mode adapts its speed to the temperature gap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoise stays discreet during a conversation. In cooling mode, the indoor unit sits at 29 dB(A) on high speed and 26 dB(A) on quiet speed according to the sheet; the table gives a range of 24 to 29 dB(A). The outdoor unit is rated at 48 dB(A) in cooling and 49 dB(A) in heating: behind the building or on the roof, we choose its location so it bothers neither your office neighbours nor your patients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNominal cooling capacity is \u003cstrong\u003e12,000 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a range of 3,100 to 13,600 BTU depending on demand. In heating, the nominal value rises to 16,000 BTU at 8.3 °C outdoors, over a range of 3,100 to 19,400 BTU. Dehumidification is 2.7 pints per hour, which matters in summer in a small room where people come in all day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn winter heating, here is the reality. The manufacturer’s operating range goes down to −21 °C outdoors in heating and down to −10 °C in cooling; this is not a certified cold climate heat pump. The premises’ existing heating, baseboards or the building’s system, stays in place, and together we determine what will serve as backup in deep cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer’s sheet lists the system as \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e certified. It is not on Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list of October 27, 2026, so no grant is attached to it. Detailed performance data and dimensioned drawings are in the attached spec sheet, in French and English, and the warranty is the same under both brands: 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts, 6 years on labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control is sold separately, and this is where professional premises have their own needs:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-RNRUZ5 backlit \u003cstrong\u003ewired remote\u003c\/strong\u003e on the room’s wall, for the professional who adjusts the temperature between two patients;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-RSRY simple remote, when staff should only touch the setpoint;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-TFSXZ2 \u003cstrong\u003eWi-Fi\u003c\/strong\u003e adapter, to set the room from a phone, before opening or after the last patient leaves;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-LBTUM IR receiver kit with wireless remote, if no control should stay on the wall;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-TTRX converter, to keep a third-party thermostat already standard in the building;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-XSZX remote sensor, which reads the temperature near the chair rather than in the ceiling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weekly timer follows your opening hours, and the 24-hour timer handles a day out of the ordinary. Economy mode tempers output during quiet hours, and after a power cut, auto restart starts everything again without anyone having to step in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the visit, we locate the structure above the suspended ceiling, the route of the 1\/4 in. and 3\/8 in. refrigerant line to the outdoor unit, and the spot where condensate can be discharged. In commercial premises, the nearest drain is sometimes far away: the \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e takes care of that. The line can reach 66 ft (20 m), with a height difference of 49 ft (15 m) at most and a precharge for 49 ft (15 m); the minimum length is 16 ft (5 m). Power is 208\/230 V, with a minimum circuit ampacity of 11.3 A and a maximum overcurrent protection of 15 A. The outdoor unit sits on a pad or a bracket, and a refrigeration technician starts the system up. In leased premises, the building owner’s approval is settled before the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a clinic, a clean filter matters.

The walk-in is often the best hiding place: it sits at the heart of the suite, between the bedroom and the bathroom, and its ceiling can be lowered without the room losing anything. The indoor unit is only \u003cstrong\u003e7 13\/16 in. (198 mm) high\u003c\/strong\u003e; it takes up 35.44 in. in width and 24.44 in. in depth, for a weight of 44 lb (20 kg). The access panel goes in the walk-in ceiling, where the unit can be serviced without touching the bedroom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe static pressure of the ADUH18LUAS1 ranges from 0 to 0.36 in. WC: the unit is made for short ducts and a small number of grilles. Starting from the walk-in, every duct stays short, and the unit stays within its limits. If the suite stretches along the full length of the house, we will suggest a medium static ducted unit instead, designed for longer duct networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe grilles are laid out by use:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ein the bedroom, a supply grille placed so the air doesn’t fall on the bed, and the \u003cstrong\u003ereturn air\u003c\/strong\u003e, which must be in the bedroom;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ein the bathroom, a supply grille, but never a return: humidity and odours have no business in the unit;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ein the walk-in, a small grille if needed, so clothes aren’t left in a damp or overheated corner;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe bathroom exhaust fan stays in place, because the heat pump does not replace it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn cooling mode, the manufacturer’s sheet gives 32 dB(A) on high and 27 dB(A) on quiet speed for the indoor unit; the table, for its part, shows a range of 29 to 32 dB(A). Maximum airflow is 553 CFM, and 441 CFM at quiet speed, split among the grilles according to the layout set at the visit. As an option, the UTD-GXTB-W auto louver grille, sold separately, directs the air with a motorized louver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outdoor unit is where the long refrigerant line really pays off. According to the sheet, it runs at 52 dB(A) in cooling and 55 dB(A) in heating, values you would rather not have under a bedroom window. The line can reach 98 ft (30 m), with a maximum height difference of 49 ft (15 m): the unit can therefore go on the side of the house, behind the garage or away from the patio. It is precharged for 66 ft (20 m); beyond that, the refrigeration technician adds the refrigerant specified by the manufacturer. The minimum length is 16 ft (5 m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn capacity, one detail deserves to be said plainly. The system is sold as an 18,000 BTU unit, but the manufacturer’s sheet lists \u003cstrong\u003e17,100 BTU in cooling\u003c\/strong\u003e, modulating from 3,100 to 20,100 BTU. For heating, it gives 21,600 BTU at 8.3 °C outdoors, and modulation runs from 3,100 to 25,600 BTU. Dehumidification is 4.2 pints per hour. We confirm the choice at the visit from these figures, not from the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor winter, the manufacturer’s sheet sets the heating limit at −21 °C outdoors, and the cooling limit at −10 °C. That does not make this system a certified cold climate heat pump. In a Laval-sur-le-Lac home, the main heating system stays in service; the heat pump keeps the suite comfortable in summer and in the shoulder seasons, and we look with you at the backup to plan for the coldest nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer’s sheet, the system is ENERGY STAR certified. Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list of October 27, 2026 does not include it: so there is no grant to plan on. The attached spec sheet, in French and English, contains the performance data and dimensioned drawings. Under the GENERAL name as under the Fujitsu name, the warranty protects the compressor and parts for 12 years, and labour for 6 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control is not included.

The \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e removes the water even when no drain runs near the walk-in. The system connects at 208\/230 V, on a circuit for which the sheet sets the minimum ampacity (MCA) at 14.8 A and the maximum overcurrent protection (MOP) at 20 A. Commissioning is done by a refrigeration technician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance happens through the walk-in: the filter comes out through the access panel and is cleaned regularly, and a technician periodically inspects the unit, the pump and the outdoor unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is for the primary suite being renovated or built without a wall unit, and for guest suites laid out the same way.

These two units are those of the 12,000 BTU Fujitsu AIRSTAGE RGLX, without the slightest difference: same manufacturer’s spec sheet, same warranty. The manufacturer, Fujitsu General Limited, simply adopted the name GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend it here for a typical South Shore case: the finished basement of a semi-detached home, with a family room on one side and an office on the other.

The ARU12RGLX, on the other hand, works up to \u003cstrong\u003e0.80 in. WC\u003c\/strong\u003e, which lets it feed two distant rooms through a longer duct network.

AIRSTAGE units have not changed for all that. The head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre have kept their address in Kawasaki, Japan; the machines come out of the same factories and keep their model numbers and warranty program.

At 11.81 in. high, for 27.56 in. wide and just as deep, the ARU12RGLX is thicker than a slim duct unit; it weighs 66 lb (30 kg) and hangs securely from the floor structure above. The supply ducts then run through the bulkheads to the family room and the office, and a return air grille sends the air back to the unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStatic pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e is the resistance the duct network puts up against the fan: the more length, elbows and grilles, the higher it climbs. The ARU12RGLX covers 0.12 to 0.80 in. WC, and its \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic airflow adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e adapts the fan to the network actually installed, rather than to a theoretical one. Airflow reaches 500 CFM at maximum speed and 300 CFM at quiet speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe office often sets the noise requirements. On a video call, you only want to hear the other person’s voice; in the family room, you want to follow a movie without turning up the volume. According to the sheet, the indoor unit goes down to 24 dB(A) at quiet speed and reaches 35 dB(A) at maximum speed, and since it sits in the mechanical room or a bulkhead, the grilles are mostly what you notice. We choose and place them so the air arrives without whistling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, the AOU12RLFC is the same outdoor unit the manufacturer pairs with the 12,000 BTU RLF slim duct; here it is matched with the ARU12RGLX. It runs at 44 dB(A) in cooling and 49 dB(A) in heating. In a semi-detached home, the side yard is often narrow and the neighbour shares the wall: we place the unit at the back, on a pad or a bracket that keeps it above the snow, away from their windows. On the piping side, the sheet allows up to 66 ft (20 m) of refrigerant line and 49 ft (15 m) of height difference; the precharge covers 49 ft (15 m), and the minimum is only 10 ft (3 m), handy when the outdoor unit sits just on the other side of the foundation wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capacities, as the manufacturer’s sheet gives them: \u003cstrong\u003e12,000 BTU in cooling\u003c\/strong\u003e (range of 3,100 to 13,600 BTU) and 16,000 BTU in heating when it is 8.3 °C outside (range of 3,100 to 19,400 BTU). The unit removes 1.5 pints of moisture per hour, which helps in summer, but a very damp basement may also need a dehumidifier; we will tell you after seeing the space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a basement, the cold floor makes itself felt in winter. The manufacturer announces heating down to −21 °C outdoors, but this unit is not certified for cold climates, and we do not sell it as such. The baseboards or the basement’s existing heating stay in place, and we decide with you on the backup for the days of deep cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAccording to the manufacturer’s sheet, the ARU12RGLX and AOU12RLFC system is \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e certified. It does not appear on Hydro-Québec’s October 27, 2026 LogisVert list, so this model carries no LogisVert grant. For performance data and dimensioned drawings, the attached spec sheet, in French and English, is the reference. The warranty, the same under both names, runs 12 years for the compressor, 12 years for parts and 6 years for labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo control comes with the unit. The manufacturer provides for a two-wire or three-wire wired control, depending on the controller chosen, and its sheet offers these accessories:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-RNRUZ2 touch screen wired remote or the UTY-RVNUM wired remote, mounted on the family room wall;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-RSRY simple remote, for a setting with no menus;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-LBTUM IR receiver kit, with wireless remote, to adjust the unit from the couch;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-TFSXZ2 Wi-Fi module, to adjust the basement from your phone;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-TTRX adapter, to connect a third-party thermostat;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-XSZX remote sensor, placed in the family room or the office, so the reading isn’t taken in the mechanical room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest is decided at the visit: where the ducts run, where the grilles and the return air go, where to put the access panel if the unit is in a bulkhead, how to bring the cable, the drain and the 1\/4 in. and 3\/8 in. refrigerant line through the foundation wall, and how far to carry the condensate, to the floor drain or the planned discharge point. Electrically, it needs a 208\/230 V circuit sized for a minimum ampacity (MCA) of 13.4 A, protected at 15 A maximum (MOP), and a refrigeration technician commissions the system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA unit installed in the basement is serviced without climbing into the attic.

It hangs under the joists, in the mechanical room or in the unfinished part of the basement, with an access panel if a ceiling hides it. From there the supply ducts leave, following the joists to the ground-floor grilles, and there the return air duct comes back, connected to a central grille, often in the hallway.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat route comes at a cost in static pressure. Every length of duct, every elbow and every grille adds resistance, and a single-storey house spreads its rooms along its full length. With a range of 0.12 to 0.80 in. WC, the ARU18RGLX is built for this kind of network, and automatic airflow adjustment matches the fan to the ducts actually laid. Airflow reaches 618 CFM at high speed and 371 CFM at quiet speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloor grilles have their rules. We place them under windows or near exterior walls, away from furniture, and we plan a return path for bedroom air when the doors are closed: a gap under the door or a transfer grille. If the house already has ducts, from an old furnace or a central air conditioner, we check at the visit whether they suit this system’s airflow before reusing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat leaves the question of output. According to the manufacturer’s sheet, the system delivers a nominal \u003cstrong\u003e18,000 BTU in cooling\u003c\/strong\u003e, adjustable from 5,400 to 21,500 BTU, and 21,000 BTU in heating at 8.3 °C outdoors, adjustable from 5,400 to 25,600 BTU. The table also shows a heating capacity of 12,700 BTU at −8 °C. These figures are compared with the heat loss calculation for your bungalow, which we do at the visit; if it calls for more, the RGLX series offers higher capacities. Dehumidification, for its part, is 3.8 pints per hour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet’s be frank about winter. The manufacturer says the unit heats down to −21 °C outside, but this system has no cold climate designation, neither from ENERGY STAR nor on the LogisVert list. In a bungalow heated with baseboards, we recommend keeping them: they take over in deep cold, while the heat pump heats the house in the shoulder seasons and cools it in summer. The right backup is chosen with you at the visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the grant, the facts are simple. The system is ENERGY STAR certified (ID 2634275), its AHRI certificate number is 202534923, and Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list of October 27, 2026 assigns it an amount of $635, subject to the program’s conditions. We go over it with you at the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn noise, the indoor unit works in the basement: the sheet gives 31 dB(A) at high speed and 24 dB(A) at quiet speed. Outside, the AOU18RGLX runs at 47 dB(A) in cooling and 50 dB(A) in heating. Thanks to a refrigerant line that can reach \u003cstrong\u003e164 ft (50 m)\u003c\/strong\u003e, it doesn’t have to sit under a bedroom window: we can place it at the back of the yard or on the least lived-in side of the house, on a pad that keeps it above the snow. It weighs 134 lb (61 kg) and measures 35.44 in. by 13.00 in., for 32.69 in. high. The unit is precharged for 66 ft (20 m): on a longer line, the refrigeration technician tops up the charge following the manufacturer’s instructions, and the line must not be shorter than 16 ft (5 m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the unit in the basement, the control has to be where you live.

On the electrical side, the electrician follows the sheet: a 208\/230 V circuit of at least 18.3 A (MCA), protected at 20 A at most (MOP). Commissioning is entrusted to a refrigeration technician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll the upkeep happens in the basement: the filter is cleaned or replaced regularly, and periodic maintenance covers the indoor unit, the drain, the accessible ducts and the outdoor unit. A clean filter keeps the planned airflow all the way to the last grille. On warranty, GENERAL and Fujitsu offer exactly the same thing: 12 years for the compressor and parts, 6 years for labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is aimed at the bungalow or single-storey house heated with baseboards, whose basement allows ducts to run through, and whose owners want comfort spread through every room rather than a wall unit in the living room.

These are the same two units as the twin Fujitsu AIRSTAGE system, described by the same manufacturer’s spec sheet and covered by the same warranty. What changed fits in one line: the manufacturer, formerly Fujitsu General Limited, has gone by GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scenario here is a specific one: the bedroom floor of a cottage, or the upper floors of a townhouse, where you want to heat and cool several rooms without hanging a unit on every wall. The ARU24RGLX fits in a mechanical closet at the end of the hallway or in a soffit built into the ceiling, and ducts run to a grille in each bedroom. In the room, all you see is a ceiling grille and, somewhere in the hallway, a return-air grille.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo arguments make this model a good fit for an upper floor. First, the \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic airflow adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e announced by the manufacturer: the unit adapts its fan to the actual resistance of the installed ducts, which matters when the back bedroom is much farther away than the front one. Second, the grant: the ARU24RGLX + AOU24RGLX system is listed at \u003cstrong\u003e$865\u003c\/strong\u003e on Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list of October 27, 2026. And since a cottage’s upper floor also needs heat in January, we are upfront about its heating range: this system does not carry a cold-climate designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe change is first of all a financial one. Paloma Rheem Holdings, which has held Rheem since 1988, bought Fujitsu General Limited in August 2025, and the company adopted the name GENERAL Inc. as of January 1, 2026. Everything else carries on unchanged: head office and R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, Japan, the same factories, AIRSTAGE products sold under the same model numbers and covered by the same warranty program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fujitsu name is fading from the packaging little by little and, until it is gone, one unit sells under two labels. So we keep both pages online: you compare them line by line and see that nothing differs except the name printed on the box. On distribution, the supply chain stays the same: Groupe Master remains our distributor, even though Rheem Canada has handled Canadian sales since February 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable

Automatic airflow adjustment finishes the job: instead of guessing the right fan speed, the unit lines itself up with the network as it was built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is the performance stated in the manufacturer’s spec sheet:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecooling: 24,000 BTU at the nominal point, with output varying from 5,400 to 29,000 BTU;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eheating: 27,000 BTU at the nominal point at 8.3 °C outdoors, with output varying from 5,400 to 32,400 BTU;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eairflow: 800 CFM on high speed, 400 CFM on quiet speed;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edehumidification: 4.0 pints\/h (1.9 L\/h), very handy under the roof in the middle of July.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer’s spec sheet, in French and English, comes with this product: that is where you will find the detailed performance data and the dimensioned drawings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow let’s talk about heating, without dressing it up. The manufacturer announces heating operation down to \u003cstrong\u003e−21 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e outdoors. This system is ENERGY STAR certified (ID 2634293), but it does not carry the cold-climate designation, and the LogisVert list includes it without that designation. Another value to read carefully is the one in the table at −8 °C: 17,300 BTU of heating. It comes from a different test point than the 27,000 BTU measured at 8.3 °C, and we present it as is. Above all, remember this: the colder it gets outside, the less heat a heat pump delivers, and this floor will need a plan for the coldest nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a cottage, that plan is often already on the wall: the upstairs electric baseboards can stay in place as backup heat. We go over what is worth keeping with you, room by room, before you sign anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn noise, a bedroom floor forgives nothing. At its lowest speed, the indoor unit goes down to \u003cstrong\u003e24 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e according to the manufacturer’s sheet, and it works outside the room, behind a closet door or a closed ceiling. The AOU24RGLX outdoor unit, 35.44 × 13.00 × 32.69 in. and 134 lb (61 kg), is rated at 53 dB(A) in cooling and 55 dB(A) in heating. We place it away from bedroom windows, on a ground pad or a wall bracket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 164 ft (50 m) of refrigerant line allowed by the manufacturer, a maximum height difference of 98 ft (30 m) and a minimum length of 16 ft (5 m), you have enough leeway to go around the house to the least busy side of the lot, instead of putting the unit right under the master bedroom window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor control, nothing is included with the system: you choose based on how you live. The manufacturer offers these accessories for this model:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-RNRUZ4 or UTY-RVNUM wired controllers, connected with two or three wires depending on the controller chosen;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-RSRY simple controller;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-LBTUM infrared receiver kit;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-TFSXZ2 Wi-Fi module;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-TTRX adapter for a third-party thermostat, and UTY-XSZX remote sensor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpstairs, the remote sensor makes sense: it reads the temperature in the hallway or in the bedroom where you sleep, rather than where the unit draws its air back in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintaining a ducted unit goes through the access hatch: cleaning or replacing the filter, checking the condensate drain, a look at the outdoor unit before each season. A clogged filter raises the static pressure and lowers the airflow; it is the first thing we show the homeowner on commissioning day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation by AirGreen follows a simple order. Site visit and survey of the floor, duct layout and grille selection, installation of the unit and the return air, refrigerant line, cable and drain to the outdoor unit, then commissioning by a refrigeration technician who checks pressures, airflow and controls. We are \u003cstrong\u003eAIRSTAGE Elite Plus\u003c\/strong\u003e installers and an RBQ-licensed HVAC contractor, and the warranty shown in the table, 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour, is the same as for the Fujitsu version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is for the homeowner who wants a comfortable upper floor summer and winter, with no visible unit, and who accepts one reality: in the middle of January, keeping backup heat is the prudent choice. The $865 LogisVert listing is a concrete advantage of this model; the eligibility conditions are those of Hydro-Québec’s program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDucted Heat Pump in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines and on the North Shore: let’s talk about your upper floor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe install the GENERAL AIRSTAGE ARU24RGLX in Sainte-Anne-des-Plaines and across the North Shore, as well as in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil and on the South Shore.

The \u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL AIRSTAGE 30,000 BTU ducted heat pump\u003c\/strong\u003e makes use of it. It pairs the ARU30RGLX indoor unit with the AOU30RGLX outdoor unit, exactly the system sold under the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE name. The manufacturer has not changed, it was renamed GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026, and the spec sheet and the warranty have stayed identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe typical space: a hair salon, a shop or a small street-front business that mostly needs cooling in summer, then gentle heating in fall and spring, when turning the baseboards or the old furnace back on feels like too much.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo clarifications before we talk price, because they affect your budget.

That is why we publish both pages, with a table that lines up their values: it is there to check, not to pick a winner.

WC (30 to 200 Pa). A long, narrow space, with the cash in front and a back room or treatment room at the far end, calls for ducts that run a good distance. A unit in this category pushes air all the way to the back, and the automatic airflow adjustment announced by the manufacturer sets the fan to the network actually installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figures from the manufacturer’s sheet, unrounded:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enominal cooling of 30,000 BTU, with modulation from 9,600 to 35,000 BTU;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003enominal heating of 32,000 BTU at 8.3 °C outdoors, with modulation from 9,200 to 39,000 BTU;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea fan that moves 1,001 CFM at high speed and 630 CFM at quiet speed;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edehumidification of 5.1 pints\/h (2.4 L\/h), welcome in a hair salon in the middle of summer;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eelectrical hookup at 208\/230 V, on a circuit of at least 20.8 A protected at 30 A maximum.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend this system for a clear use: cooling all summer and heating in the shoulder seasons. The manufacturer’s heating range goes down to −21 °C outdoors, but this model has no cold-climate designation. In a business that already has heating, the logic is simple: that heating stays in place for the deep cold, and the heat pump takes over the rest of the year. We assess with you what to keep and how the two systems will work side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the ENERGY STAR “No,” let’s be precise. ENERGY STAR is an energy-efficiency certification; the manufacturer’s sheet states that this system does not have it, and we repeat that statement as is. It says nothing about capacity, but it closes the door on the grant. If the grant weighs heavily in your decision, note that the 24,000 BTU RGLX is listed at $865 on the same LogisVert list; it only makes sense if the load calculation for your space shows that 24,000 BTU is enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a salon, people talk, music plays, dryers run: the indoor unit, rated from 29 to 38 dB(A) depending on speed, disappears above the ceiling. Outside, the AOU30RGLX takes up 35.44 × 13.00 × 32.69 in., weighs 134 lb (61 kg) and is rated at 53 dB(A) in cooling, 55 dB(A) in heating. It goes in the back yard, on an accessible flat roof or against a side wall, on a pad or a bracket, away from the front door and the neighbours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two units can be up to 164 ft (50 m) of refrigerant line apart, with no more than 98 ft (30 m) of height difference, according to the sheet. The manufacturer’s precharge covers 66 ft (20 m) of line; past that length, the refrigeration technician adjusts the charge to the actual line. For a business on the ground floor of an apartment building, that leeway often makes it possible to put the unit on the roof or at the back of the yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor control, no controller comes with the system, which lets you choose based on who will use it. Here is what the manufacturer’s accessory list offers for this model:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-RSRY or UTY-RHRY simple controllers, the latter in a “hospitality” version;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-LBTUM infrared receiver kit with wireless remote;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-TFSXZ2 Wi-Fi adapter and UTY-TTRXZ1 thermostat converter;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-XSZX remote sensor, mounted at customer height so the system responds to the temperature they actually feel;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-XWZXZG external connect kit, UTY-XCSX external input and output board and UTY-VMSX Modbus converter, if the space is tied into a management system.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor maintenance, we plan a removable tile or an access hatch in front of the unit. The manufacturer also offers a \u003cstrong\u003elong-life filter\u003c\/strong\u003e, UTD-LFNB, for this model, worth considering in a salon or shop where dust and fibres float around all day. A clean filter keeps the airflow and the static pressure where commissioning left them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe job is scheduled around your opening hours. Site visit, survey of the ceiling and the electrical panel, duct layout and grille locations, hanging the unit, refrigerant line, cable and drain to the outdoor unit, then commissioning by a refrigeration technician. AirGreen, an RBQ-licensed HVAC contractor and AIRSTAGE Elite Plus installer, coordinates the whole job; the warranty is that of the Fujitsu version, no more and no less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ARU30RGLX suits the business owner who wants clear walls, a cool space in summer and discreet shoulder-season heating, and who makes the choice knowing the facts: no ENERGY STAR, no LogisVert. If your space instead has to heat on its own all winter, with no other source, we will discuss it frankly at the visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSalon or shop in Pointe-aux-Trembles: your free quote\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe install the GENERAL AIRSTAGE ARU30RGLX ducted heat pump in Pointe-aux-Trembles and throughout east-end Montreal, as well as in Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and on the South Shore.

Finally, in February 2026, Rheem Canada takes over Canadian sales, while Groupe Master remains AirGreen’s distributor. Meanwhile, nothing has moved in the factories or at the Kawasaki R\u0026amp;D centre, and AIRSTAGE products keep their model numbers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a clinic that buys through quotes or compares several offers, seeing two names for the same equipment can create doubt.

The ARU36RGLX takes up 55.12 × 27.56 × 11.81 in. (W × D × H) for 121 lb (55 kg). So you need a plenum with enough clearance along that whole length and a structure that can carry it, two points we check during the survey.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStatic pressure and airflow go hand in hand.

That is enough to feed a network serving the reception, the workstations and the closed rooms, with return-air grilles placed so that air keeps moving even with the doors shut. The automatic airflow adjustment announced by the manufacturer then lines the fan up with the resistance of the network as built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne limit to know before you sign: one system, one set point. Every grille fed by the ARU36RGLX gets the same air, set by a single control. If a south-facing office overheats while an exam room on the north side stays cool, balancing the grilles helps, but it does not replace a second zone. When needs really differ from one room to the next, we would rather tell you at the visit and suggest two systems instead of one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo control is included; here are the options the manufacturer provides for this model:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-RNRUZ4 or UTY-RVNUM wired controllers, for a wall control at reception or in the hallway;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-RSRY simple controller;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-TTRX adapter to connect a \u003cstrong\u003ethird-party thermostat\u003c\/strong\u003e, useful if your building already requires a specific thermostat model;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-TFSXZ2 Wi-Fi module;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-LBTUM infrared receiver kit and UTY-XSZX remote sensor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control wiring, two or three wires depending on the controller, is pulled during the ceiling work. In a clinic that stays open, that detail matters: the wires are planned at the same time as the ducts, once, rather than reopening the ceiling later. The remote sensor, for its part, measures the temperature in the room that matters most, rather than at the return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eComfort in a consultation room is also a matter of sound. The indoor unit is rated from \u003cstrong\u003e26 to 37 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e depending on speed, and it is not in the room: we place it above a hallway or a storage room rather than above a closed office, and we aim the grilles so the air arrives without blowing on the patient or the exam table.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the AOU36RGLX outdoor unit, count on 35.44 × 13.00 × 32.69 in., 134 lb (61 kg), and a sound level of 54 dB(A) in cooling, 56 dB(A) in heating. On distance, the sheet accepts a refrigerant line of up to 164 ft (50 m), a height difference of up to 98 ft (30 m), and the precharge covers 65 ft (20 m). In a small office building, that length often makes it possible to set the unit at the back, away from the main entrance and the windows of the rooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance according to the manufacturer’s sheet:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ein cooling, 36,000 BTU nominal, from 9,600 BTU minimum to 39,000 BTU maximum;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ein heating, 36,000 BTU nominal at 8.3 °C outdoors, from 9,200 BTU minimum to 48,000 BTU maximum;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ein dehumidification, 5.3 pints\/h (2.5 L\/h);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea 208\/230 V supply on a circuit rated for at least 24.6 A, with protection capped at 30 A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow for the frank part. The manufacturer’s sheet says “No” on the ENERGY STAR line for this system, and it does not appear on Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list of October 27, 2026: no LogisVert grant is possible. As for heating, the sheet rates it down to −21 °C outdoors, with no cold-climate designation. For a clinic that opens early in the morning in the middle of winter, we look with you at the backup heat to keep or to add, so the waiting room is warm when the first patients arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance goes through an access hatch in the drop ceiling: filter, condensate drain, coil. In a place that receives the public, a clean filter is the bare minimum; at commissioning, we show your staff where the hatch is and how to check the condition of the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the job site, AirGreen handles the visit, the survey of the ceiling and the electrical panel, the duct and grille layout, the installation of the unit, the refrigerant line, the cable and the drain, then commissioning by a refrigeration technician. We are an HVAC contractor and an AIRSTAGE Elite Plus installer. As for the warranty, the figures in the table, for the compressor, parts and labour, apply under one name as under the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis model suits the clinic, professional office or workplace that wants a clean ceiling, a serious wall control or its usual thermostat, and a single unit to maintain. It is a poorer fit when every room needs its own temperature; in that case, the right advice is to use more than one system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDelson and the South Shore: a quote for your clinic or office\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Delson as elsewhere on the South Shore, and also in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil and on the North Shore, AirGreen installs the GENERAL AIRSTAGE ARU36RGLX.

According to the manufacturer’s sheet, the ARU42RGLX refrigerant line can reach 246 ft (75 m), with a maximum height difference of 98 ft (30 m) between the two units and a minimum length of 16 ft (5 m). The precharge covers 98 ft (30 m); beyond that, the refrigeration technician adds the refrigerant the actual length requires. In an industrial building, that leeway lets you put the outdoor unit on the roof, at the back of the yard or along a wall with no loading dock, rather than right under the mezzanine, where the traffic goes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 35.44 × 13.00 × 50.81 in. and 209 lb (95 kg), the AOU42RGLX calls for a solid ground pad or a suitable roof support, and a spot protected from impacts. It is rated at 55 dB(A) in cooling and 57 dB(A) in heating, a secondary detail in an industrial zone, but one to watch if homes border the property.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext comes the mezzanine ceiling. The indoor unit, 55.12 × 27.56 × 11.81 in. and 121 lb (55 kg), hangs in the office ceiling or in a soffit, and its duct network feeds the closed offices, the meeting room and the staff room. As a \u003cstrong\u003emid-static pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e unit, it works from 0.12 to 0.72 in. WC (30 to 180 Pa), with automatic airflow adjustment, for 1,501 CFM on high speed and 842 CFM on quiet speed. It is rated at 29 dB(A) at its lowest and 40 dB(A) on high speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer’s sheet also gives:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor cooling, 42,000 BTU nominal, over a range running from 17,100 to 45,000 BTU;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor heating, 47,000 BTU nominal at 8.3 °C outdoors, over a range running from 18,000 to 51,000 BTU;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edehumidification: 5.5 pints\/h (2.6 L\/h);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor the electrical panel, plan on 208\/230 V, a minimum circuit ampacity of 25.2 A and overcurrent protection no higher than 30 A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor winter, the manufacturer gives two pieces of information, and we report them without inflating them. It announces heating down to −21 °C outdoors. And it specifies that this model has \u003cstrong\u003eno low-temperature cut-out\u003c\/strong\u003e: the system keeps running below its rated range, but its capacity has not been tested outside that range. This model does not carry a cold-climate certification. If the mezzanine already has unit heaters or baseboards, we keep them in the plan for the deep cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe control is chosen according to how the building is managed. None is included; for this model, the sheet lists:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUTY-VMSX Modbus converter\u003c\/strong\u003e, to connect the system to the building management system;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-RSRY or UTY-RHRY (“hospitality”) simple controllers;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-TTRXZ1 thermostat converter and UTY-TFSXZ2 WLAN adapter;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-LBTUM IR kit with wireless remote, and UTY-XSZX remote sensor;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-XWZXZG external connect kit and UTY-XCSX external input and output board.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Modbus converter is mostly of interest to the building manager: when a building already monitors its equipment from a central station, the office heat pump can join it instead of running on its own. The control wiring, for its part, is two-wire or three-wire depending on the controller selected, and it runs along the mezzanine structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA workshop produces dust, and dust rises. The manufacturer offers a \u003cstrong\u003eUTD-LFNA long-life filter\u003c\/strong\u003e for this model; combined with a well-placed access hatch, it makes maintenance simpler. When the filter clogs, resistance climbs and air gets through less easily: we show your maintenance team how to check it and when to replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the job site, AirGreen, an HVAC contractor, does the visit and the survey (mezzanine, roof, yard, electrical panel), lays out the ducts and the refrigerant line, installs both units, runs the cable and the drain, then hands commissioning to a refrigeration technician. The work is coordinated with your production schedule. We are AIRSTAGE Elite Plus installers, and the warranty is quick to sum up: twelve years on the compressor, twelve on parts, six on labour, as in the table. It follows the machine, not the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is for the company that wants comfortable offices above its production floor, an outdoor unit placed where it does no harm and, if needed, integration with its management system. It is not for the one counting on a grant, since it has neither ENERGY STAR certification nor a LogisVert listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMezzanine offices in Montréal-Est: let’s plan the visit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMontréal-Est, all of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore: AirGreen installs the GENERAL AIRSTAGE ARU42RGLX throughout.

If you have already seen it under the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE name, that is normal: it is the same machine.

The indoor unit delivers up to \u003cstrong\u003e1,501 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e of airflow, distributed through ceiling ducts, and the manufacturer specifies that the system has no low-temperature cut-out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe flip side fits in one sentence: no ENERGY STAR according to the manufacturer’s sheet, no LogisVert listing, and therefore no LogisVert grant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the new name, there is a transaction: in August 2025, Fujitsu General Limited came under the control of Paloma Rheem Holdings, Rheem’s parent company since 1988, then the company became GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. The head office and R\u0026amp;D remain in Kawasaki, and nothing has changed either in the factories, the AIRSTAGE lineup, the model numbers or the warranty program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fujitsu brand is leaving the market in stages, and the same machine circulates under both names for as long as the transition lasts. For a restaurant owner who receives a competing quote under the Fujitsu name, our double page cuts the confusion short: the table lines up the two columns, and they are identical.

That is why we never pick a 48,000 BTU unit on floor area alone. The \u003cstrong\u003eload calculation\u003c\/strong\u003e is done at the visit, with the number of seats, the orientation of the storefront windows and what comes out of the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirflow is the central argument for this model. According to the manufacturer’s sheet, the ARU48RGLX blows 1,501 CFM on high speed and 842 CFM on quiet speed, at mid-static pressure: from 0.12 to 0.72 in. WC (30 to 180 Pa), with automatic airflow adjustment.

We place the return air away from the kitchen to avoid drawing in grease-laden air, and we coordinate the layout with the existing ventilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor winter, the sheet announces heating down to −21 °C outdoors and adds that the system has \u003cstrong\u003eno low-temperature cut-out\u003c\/strong\u003e: in other words, it keeps running when the cold goes beyond its rated range, but its capacity at those temperatures has not been tested, and nobody can guarantee it to you. No cold-climate certification comes with this model, and we will not credit it with one. For a room that welcomes customers in January, we assess with you the backup heat to keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDowntown, the outdoor unit is often the tricky part of the project. The AOU48RGLX measures 35.44 × 13.00 × 50.81 in., weighs 209 lb (95 kg) and is rated at 57 dB(A) in cooling and 59 dB(A) in heating: we keep it away from the terrace and the neighbours’ windows. The refrigerant line can reach 246 ft (75 m), which often opens up the roof or the back lane. Watch the height difference, though: the manufacturer’s sheet limits it to 98 ft (30 m) between the two units, and a roof higher than that above the dining room means looking for another location. The manufacturer’s precharge is good for the first 98 ft (30 m); past that point, the refrigeration technician adds the extra refrigerant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIndoors, the unit is rated from 29 to 40 dB(A) depending on speed; above a drop ceiling, in a room where people talk and music plays, it fades into the background. It measures 55.12 × 27.56 × 11.81 in. and weighs 121 lb (55 kg), which calls for a deep enough ceiling and solid anchoring in the structure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo control comes with the system. For a restaurant or a commercial floor, the manufacturer offers, among others:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-RSRY simple controller, or its “hospitality” variant, \u003cstrong\u003eUTY-RHRY\u003c\/strong\u003e;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-VMSX Modbus converter for a building with a management system;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eremote control through the UTY-TFSXZ2 WLAN adapter and thermostat connection through the UTY-TTRXZ1 converter;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-XSZX remote sensor, useful when the control is installed far from the room;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-LBTUM IR kit, plus the UTY-XWZXZG kit and the UTY-XCSX board for external connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a restaurant, maintenance is not optional. The manufacturer offers a UTD-LFNA long-life filter for this model, and we place the access hatch outside the dining room whenever possible, so maintenance can be done without moving tables or interrupting service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe job takes into account what complicates any downtown project: access, the service elevator, opening hours, building rules. Visit and load calculation, duct and grille layout, installation of the unit, refrigerant line, cable and drain, outdoor unit on a pad or bracket, then commissioning by a refrigeration technician. AirGreen, an RBQ-licensed HVAC contractor, handles it from start to finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is made for the restaurant owner or commercial tenant who needs a lot of air, well distributed, with nothing on the walls, and who accepts choosing without a grant or an ENERGY STAR label. For a small room, a smaller model from the same series will be a better fit; the load calculation will decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRestaurant or commercial floor in Ville-Marie: your free quote\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Ville-Marie, everywhere else in Montreal, in Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and on the South Shore, we install the GENERAL AIRSTAGE ARU48RGLX.

The ducted unit hides there. Short ducts run to the bedroom on one side and the living room on the other, and the air comes in through slim grilles. Nothing hangs on the wall, nothing blocks a window.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo manufacturer values sum up why the system makes sense.

On January 1, 2026, the company became GENERAL Inc. without moving anything: the head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre stayed in Kawasaki, Japan, the factories did not change, and AIRSTAGE products keep their model numbers as well as their warranty program. The Fujitsu brand is being phased out gradually; in the meantime, one machine is sold under two names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat is why both pages stay online at AirGreen. Someone searching for “Fujitsu” and someone who read “GENERAL” on a quote need to find the same figures, and the table puts them side by side.

The indoor unit does not blow into the space where it sits: it draws air through a return, passes it over its \u003cstrong\u003eProCore\u003c\/strong\u003e copper coils, which are highly resistant to corrosion, then pushes it through ducts to the grilles. In the hallway of a 4 ½, the return air intake can come from below, with a grille in the hallway ceiling, or from the side. The manufacturer provides both options, and we choose based on what the ceiling allows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deciding dimension is height: the ARUH12KUAS is 11.81 in. tall, on a 27.56 in. by 27.56 in. footprint. The hallway ceiling has to offer that depth, plus room for the duct connections and an access hatch for the filter. We measure it during the visit before promising anything. If the clearance is not there, we will tell you and suggest another format rather than force the installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoise plays out on two fronts. Inside, the sound level ranges from 24 dB(A) at “Quiet” speed to 35 dB(A) at maximum, with a 4-speed fan plus Auto mode and a sleep function. The short ducts help too: thanks to \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic static pressure detection\u003c\/strong\u003e, the unit measures the resistance of the duct network and adjusts its airflow, up to 500 CFM. It handles 0.12 to 0.80 in. WC; a hallway network stays at the low end of that range, and the fan does not have to strain. Outside, the AOUH12KUAS1 outdoor unit is rated at 49.0 dB(A), a detail that matters when the neighbour’s balcony is right next door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor winter, here is what the manufacturer and the certifications allow us to state:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eheating rated down to −21 °C outdoors, with the note “no low temperature cut out”: below that range, the system keeps running, but its capacity has not been tested outside the range;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor this 12,000 BTU model, the manufacturer claims a rated heating capacity up to 33% higher than nominal capacity;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e10,700 BTU of heating at −8 °C (COP of 2.93) and, according to NEEP, 15,500 BTU at −15 °C (COP of 2.02), two different test points that should each be read for what they are;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e certification with the cold climate designation, SEER2 of 19.1 and HSPF2 of 10.5, under AHRI certificate 215434556.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe will not ask you to disconnect the condo’s electric baseboards. They stay in place as backup for the harshest nights, while the heat pump handles everyday heating, and cooling all summer long.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a condo, installation follows a set order, and AirGreen handles it from start to finish:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe location of the outdoor unit, on a pad or a bracket, is first approved with the condo board;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe refrigerant line (1\/4 in. and 3\/8 in.), the cable and the drain connect the two units; the manufacturer allows up to 98 ft (30 m) of line, with a minimum of 16 ft (5 m) and a maximum height difference of 49 ft (15 m), and the factory precharge covers 66 ft (20 m);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e lifts the water to the nearest drain, a real advantage in a hallway ceiling far from the plumbing;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epower is 208\/230 V, with a minimum circuit ampacity of 12 A and maximum overcurrent protection of 15 A, values to pass on to your electrician;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea refrigeration technician handles commissioning, then we adjust the grilles with you, room by room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo control is included: the manufacturer sells them separately. In a condo hallway, the UTY-RNRUZ5 wired touchscreen controller, or the KAGAMI UTY-RVRU, goes near the bedroom door. The IR receiver kit with the UTY-LBTUM wireless remote suits people who want to keep the control on the nightstand, and the UTY-TFSXJ4 \u003cstrong\u003eWi-Fi\u003c\/strong\u003e adapter gives access to the AIRSTAGE Mobile app. Depending on the control you choose, you get the weekly timer, the 24-hour timer, and the economy and powerful modes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance asks for little, but it cannot be skipped. The filter comes out through the access hatch and is cleaned according to the manufacturer’s guide; left dirty, it raises the noise and lowers the airflow. The built-in \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant leak detection sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e monitors the circuit, which is reassuring in an enclosed home. Automatic defrost and automatic restart after a power outage happen without anyone stepping in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn Hydro-Québec’s list of October 27, 2026, the ARUH12KUAS and AOUH12KUAS1 combination is listed at \u003cstrong\u003e$1,284\u003c\/strong\u003e under the LogisVert program; we check eligibility with you before the work. In summer, dehumidification of 1.5 pints\/h brings relief in condos where the air gets heavy. The warranty on the spec sheet is 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system suits the owner of a 4 ½ who wants to heat and cool the bedroom and living room without installing a wall head, and anyone who sleeps badly at the slightest hum. It is less suited if the hallway ceiling lacks the required depth or if the home has other rooms to serve; the load calculation done during the visit then points to another capacity in the line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour CENTAURI ducted unit in Parc-Extension, installed by AirGreen\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a condo in Parc-Extension, everything starts with a visit: measuring the ceiling, laying out the ducts, counting the grilles, choosing the outdoor unit’s location and talking to the condo board if needed.

The manufacturer has not changed, it has changed its name: Fujitsu General Limited became GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. The manufacturer’s spec sheet and the warranty are the same from one label to the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bungalow we have in mind here has been heated by electric baseboards since it was built.

Warm air comes up from below, as in a forced-air house, but it is produced by a heat pump carrying the ENERGY STAR cold climate designation.

Paloma Rheem Holdings, which has owned Rheem since 1988, bought Fujitsu General Limited in August 2025, and the new name, GENERAL Inc., has applied since January 1, 2026. Kawasaki remains the head office and the research centre, and nothing has moved in the factories, the model numbers or the AIRSTAGE warranty program. The Fujitsu name is gradually fading from the boxes; during this transition, both labels refer to the same unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShowing both pages avoids a false comparison. Two quotes, one “Fujitsu”, the other “GENERAL”, can very well cover the same heat pump, and the table confirms it value by value.

The ARUH18KUAS unit measures 39.38 in. wide, 27.56 in. deep and 11.81 in. high. It hangs below the joists, in a box-out or a soffit, or takes its place in a mechanical closet. The supply ducts run between the joists and pass through the ground-floor subfloor at each grille location. Return air goes through a central grille; since the unit accepts a side or bottom return intake, we adapt the connection to the basement as it really is, not as it looks on paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFloor grilles follow a very simple logic. In winter, warm air comes out near the floor, ideally under the windows, and counters the cold air falling off the glass, exactly where the baseboards used to work. In summer, cool air uses the same grilles; the fan, which moves up to 618 CFM, mixes the room air, and we aim the airflow upward at commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLeaving baseboards behind does not mean tearing them out. Most of the time we suggest leaving them in place, thermostats turned down, as a reserve for the deep cold. If you prefer an integrated setup, the CENTAURI system offers several backup heating logics and external inputs\/outputs that can control a backup heater. The right choice depends on your house, and we make it with you during the visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere are the heating benchmarks given by the manufacturer and the certification bodies:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea heating range that goes down to −21 °C outdoors; the manufacturer adds “no low temperature cut out”, in other words the unit does not shut off when it gets colder, even though its capacity has not been measured in that kind of cold;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efor this 18,000 BTU model, a rated heating capacity up to 20% higher than nominal capacity, according to the manufacturer;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14,400 BTU of heating at −8 °C, with a COP of 2.91;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17,100 BTU at −15 °C according to NEEP, with a COP of 2.16, a value taken from another test point that does not compare directly with the previous one;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSEER2 of 18.6, HSPF2 of 10.3 and EER2 of 11.7, AHRI certificate 215434557, and ENERGY STAR certification carrying the cold climate designation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA word on COP, because it is the number that speaks to baseboard owners. A \u003cstrong\u003eCOP of 2.91\u003c\/strong\u003e means that, under those test conditions, the heat pump delivers 2.91 units of heat for every unit of electricity it uses. An electric baseboard delivers just one. Your actual bill will depend on the house, the insulation and the winter, and we will not promise you a savings figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e grant of $1,728 applies to this exact combination, ARUH18KUAS with AOUH18KUAS1, as it appears on Hydro-Québec’s list of October 27, 2026. Program rules change; we check your eligibility before you sign. In summer, dehumidification of 3.4 pints\/h helps keep the ground floor dry through humid heat waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this layout, the noise stays mostly in the basement. Inside, the unit sits between 24 dB(A), at “Quiet” speed, and 34 dB(A) at maximum, and on the ground floor what you hear first is the air at the grilles. Outside, the AOUH18KUAS1 unit is rated at 55.0 dB(A); we set it on a pad, away from bedroom windows and the neighbour’s patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe job, step by step:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003educt layout and ground-floor grille locations, set during the visit according to the floor structure;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einstallation of the unit in the basement ceiling, with an \u003cstrong\u003eaccess hatch\u003c\/strong\u003e for the filter and maintenance;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1\/4 in. and 1\/2 in. refrigerant line, cable and drain to the outdoor unit; the line can reach 98 ft (30 m) according to the manufacturer, without going under 16 ft (5 m) or exceeding 49 ft (15 m) of height difference; up to 66 ft (20 m), the precharge is enough;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e, useful when no floor drain is within reach;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eelectrical connection at 208\/230 V, minimum circuit ampacity of 12 A, maximum overcurrent protection of 20 A;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecommissioning by a refrigeration technician; automatic static pressure detection (range of 0.12 to 0.80 in.

Others will opt, in the living room, for the UTY-RNRUZ5 wired touchscreen or the KAGAMI UTY-RVRU, or else for the UTY-TFSXJ4 Wi-Fi adapter with the AIRSTAGE Mobile app. The weekly timer lowers the temperature at night, and the minimum heat mode keeps the house tempered while you are away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the basement, maintenance is easy to reach: the filter is looked after as the manufacturer’s guide indicates, and the ProCore copper coils hold their own against corrosion. The built-in refrigerant leak sensor watches over the circuit, and the system restarts on its own after a power outage. The spec sheet provides a 12-year warranty on the compressor and parts, and 6 years on labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is made for the bungalow whose basement ceiling remains accessible, whether unfinished or dropped. A closed drywall ceiling can be worked with too, but it has to be opened and an access hatch planned. If the basement also needs heating, or if the house is larger, the load calculation may point to a higher capacity; we will tell you frankly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBungalow in Dollard-des-Ormeaux: your free quote for the CENTAURI ducted unit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Dollard-des-Ormeaux as elsewhere, the basement decides, and our visit settles it: joists, grille locations, return air, outdoor unit.

These are the units of the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE twin, built in the same factories and designed by the same company, which has gone by the name GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026. On the paperwork side, nothing moves: the manufacturer’s spec sheet and warranty remain those of the Fujitsu version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA cottage’s upper floor, in July, holds the day’s heat long after sunset. In January, it is often the bedroom over the garage that stays cold. The usual answer, one wall head per bedroom, takes up three walls and multiplies the units to maintain. Here, a single ducted unit hides in a hallway closet or soffit, and ducts run to each of the three bedrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe technical detail that makes this work is \u003cstrong\u003eautomatic static pressure detection\u003c\/strong\u003e. Three branches of different lengths do not offer the same resistance to airflow. The unit reads the resistance of the real duct network and sets its fan accordingly, instead of applying a factory setting designed for a theoretical network.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GENERAL name does not come out of nowhere: the company has used it as a brand since 1946, and in 2026 it marks 90 years since its founding in 1936. What changed is the corporate name. After Fujitsu General Limited was bought in August 2025 by Paloma Rheem Holdings (Rheem’s owner since 1988), the company became GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026, with the same head office and the same R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, the same factories, the same model numbers and the same warranty program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Fujitsu brand is gradually phased out, the same machine circulates under both names. We therefore keep both pages, so that nobody has to guess whether two quotes refer to the same unit.

Three locations work well: a hallway closet converted into a mechanical closet, a soffit above the hallway, or a section of dropped ceiling. The ARUH24KUAS is 11.81 in. high, 39.38 in. wide and 27.56 in. deep. Return air connects from the side or from below, which gives some leeway in a narrow closet, and a door or access hatch remains a must for the filter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStatic pressure deserves a closer look, because it decides whether the far bedroom gets its share. Every duct, every elbow and every grille slows the air down. The CENTAURI unit handles a resistance of 0.12 to 0.80 in. WC, and it detects it on its own at commissioning to set its airflow, which can reach 800 CFM. The network as it was actually built therefore gets the air it was designed for. We add balancing dampers on the branches, so that the bedroom over the garage is not left behind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn bedrooms, quiet is not negotiable. The “Quiet” speed brings the unit down to \u003cstrong\u003e24 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e, and it tops out at 36 dB(A) at maximum speed. The fan offers 4 speeds plus Auto, the sleep function takes over at night, and the unit itself stays behind a closet door, not above a bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, the AOUH24KUAS1 unit is rated at 54.0 dB(A), and its heat exchanger gets a \u003cstrong\u003e“Blue Fin”\u003c\/strong\u003e anti-corrosion coating. With the indoor unit upstairs and the outdoor unit on the ground, height difference matters: the spec sheet accepts a difference in height of up to 98 ft (30 m). Sized at 1\/4 in. and 1\/2 in., the refrigerant line can reach 164 ft (50 m), with a required minimum of 16 ft (5 m), and its precharge covers 66 ft (20 m); it runs down the exterior wall, with the cable and the drain, to the unit’s pad.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor winter, the certified documentation and the manufacturer’s own come down to four points:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eheating down to −21 °C outdoors; below that threshold, the unit does not shut off (“no low temperature cut out”, according to the manufacturer), though no capacity has been tested there;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e17,800 BTU of heating at −8 °C, for a COP of 2.91;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e23,600 BTU at −15 °C according to NEEP, for a COP of 2.04, measured at a separate test point;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e with the cold climate designation (ID 3627243), SEER2 of 18.5, HSPF2 of 10.2, AHRI certificate 215434558.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne frank clarification: a single unit means a single temperature setpoint. All three bedrooms receive the same air, and balancing sets how the airflow is split, not the temperature of each room. If everyone insists on their own setting, the system is compatible with Airzone communicating zoning, an optional third-party product we can assess with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpstairs, condensate water does not always have a drain nearby. The \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e lifts it to the nearest plumbing, often the bathroom’s. A refrigerant leak sensor, also built in, keeps an eye on the R-32 circuit a few steps from the bedrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo control comes with the system: the controller is sold separately. In the upstairs hallway, a wired touchscreen controller, UTY-RNRUZ5 or KAGAMI UTY-RVRU, naturally finds its place. With the UTY-TFSXJ4 Wi-Fi adapter and the AIRSTAGE Mobile app, you cool the floor down before heading up to bed, and the weekly timer follows the family’s schedule. For the simplest needs, a UTY-LBTUM wireless remote works with the IR receiver kit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor maintenance, you reach the filter through the closet door or the hatch, and you clean it at the intervals the manufacturer recommends; the ProCore copper coils offer high resistance to corrosion. The electrical circuit: 208\/230 V, 12 A minimum circuit ampacity (MCA) and 20 A maximum overcurrent protection (MOP).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ARUH24KUAS and AOUH24KUAS1 combination is listed under LogisVert at \u003cstrong\u003e$2,136\u003c\/strong\u003e, according to Hydro-Québec’s list of October 27, 2026; eligibility is checked with you before the work. Dehumidification reaches 5.1 pints\/h, which helps the bedrooms stay dry in summer, and, on the warranty side, the spec sheet provides 12 years for the compressor, as many for parts, and 6 years for labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is for the cottage owner who wants to heat and cool three bedrooms without a single head on the wall. It serves the upper floor, and only the upper floor: the ground floor keeps its current system or gets its own solution. During the visit, a load calculation confirms whether this capacity suits your upper floor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCottage in Saint-François: have AirGreen assess your upper floor\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Saint-François, as everywhere in Laval, the visit starts upstairs: the closet or soffit that will house the unit, the duct path to the three bedrooms, the route of the refrigerant line down the wall and the spot for the outdoor unit.

If you have seen these two numbers on a Fujitsu AIRSTAGE page, you have seen the same machine. Fujitsu General Limited simply took the name GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026; the spec sheet from the manufacturer and the warranty have not moved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe scenario is a classic in a single-storey house: a central air conditioner installed long ago, which cools in summer and does nothing from November to April. The day it gives out, or gets too old to be worth repairing, the decision makes itself. Replacing an air conditioner with another air conditioner means paying for a single season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe CENTAURI covers both seasons: it is a \u003cstrong\u003ecold-climate heat pump\u003c\/strong\u003e, ENERGY STAR certified with the cold climate designation, that heats in winter and cools in summer. Its static pressure can reach \u003cstrong\u003e0.80 in. WC\u003c\/strong\u003e, enough to feed a duct network that runs from one end of the house to the other.

Paloma Rheem Holdings, the entity that has owned Rheem since 1988, took over Fujitsu General Limited in August 2025, and the company has operated as GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026. The Kawasaki head office, in Japan, and its R\u0026amp;D centre stayed in place, as did the factories and the warranty program, and every AIRSTAGE model number is unchanged, ARUH30KUAS and AOUH30KUAS1 included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs long as the Fujitsu name still appears on some of the boxes, the same machine comes under two labels, and we publish both versions of the page. The table that follows puts them face to face. On the supply side, Rheem Canada has handled Canadian sales since February 2026 and Groupe Master remains our distributor; AirGreen, for its part, is an \u003cstrong\u003eAIRSTAGE Elite Plus

This system runs on R-32 with a 3\/8 in. and 5\/8 in. line; we check the old line, and we only reuse it if its diameter and condition allow. The manufacturer allows up to 164 ft (50 m) of line, at least 16 ft (5 m), a maximum height difference of 98 ft (30 m), and the factory charge is enough up to 66 ft (20 m). The outdoor unit can often take over the old condenser’s spot, if the pad is sound and the clearances are sufficient; its sound rating is 55.0 dB(A).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe electrical side gets checked too. The unit requires 208\/230 V, a circuit of at least 20 A minimum ampacity and protection of no more than 25 A; the old air conditioner’s circuit does not necessarily match, and your electrician must confirm it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn winter, here is what you can expect, backed by the manufacturer’s and the certifications’ figures:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e“no low temperature cut out”: that is the manufacturer’s wording, and it means the heat pump does not switch off when the thermometer drops below −21 °C, the limit of its heating range; what it produces in that kind of cold, however, has not been tested;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eat −8 °C, 21,200 BTU of heating and a COP of 2.81;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe NEEP value at −15 °C: 28,000 BTU and a COP of 2.04, from another test point and to be read separately;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSEER2 of 18.5, HSPF2 of 10.0, EER2 of 11.0, AHRI certificate 215434559 and ENERGY STAR ID 3627241.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor extreme nights, we plan backup heat with you.

The facts are simple. Fujitsu General Limited came under the control of Paloma Rheem Holdings, Rheem’s parent company since 1988, in August 2025; on January 1, 2026, it adopted the name GENERAL Inc., keeping its head office, its R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, Japan, and its factories. The ARUH36KUAS and AOUH36KUAS1 numbers do not change, and neither does the AIRSTAGE warranty program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUntil the Fujitsu brand is fully phased out, the two names coexist for one machine, and your documents can carry either one. We publish both pages so that your accountant and your building manager read exactly the same values.

The manufacturer sells them separately, which lets you choose the level of control that matches the way you run the space:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea wall control, either the UTY-RNRUZ5 or the KAGAMI UTY-RVRU touchscreen, or a simple wired control for staff;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea 24 V thermostat interface, if the building already has its thermostats;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea BACnet or Modbus gateway, which links the heat pump to the building management system;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ethe UTY-TFSXJ4 Wi-Fi adapter, paired with the AIRSTAGE Mobile app, to check on the space remotely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe weekly timer follows your business hours, the economy and energy-saving modes ease the quiet periods, and group control runs several units together if the space has more than one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe external inputs and outputs are used for interlocking, something to plan at the quote stage rather than after opening:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003econnection to the fire alarm, for example to stop ventilation on a signal from the panel;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edoor switch, which can suspend operation when a delivery door stays open;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003einterlocking with a humidifier, useful in a practice where winter air gets dry;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eseveral backup heating logics, to integrate an existing appliance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn heating, the rated range goes down to −21 °C outdoors. The manufacturer specifies “no low temperature cut out”: the system stays on below that limit, without any capacity having been measured there. The certified values give 25,400 BTU at −8 °C (COP of 2.80) and, at the NEEP test point of −15 °C, 31,000 BTU for a COP of 2.08; these two figures come from different test points and are read separately. The system holds \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e certification and its cold climate designation, with a SEER2 of 18.0, an HSPF2 of 9.8 and an EER2 of 10.4, under AHRI certificate 215434560.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation adapts to the building. The outdoor unit can go on the roof or on the ground, since the spec sheet allows a height difference of up to 98 ft (30 m) between the two units and a refrigerant line that can reach 164 ft (50 m), the minimum length being 16 ft (5 m); the precharge is good for 66 ft (20 m). The 3\/8 in. and 5\/8 in. tubing, the cable and the drain pass above the tiles. The \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e pushes condensate water up to the available drain, and the electrician provides a 208\/230 V supply, for a minimum ampacity of 20 A and a breaker of no more than 25 A. A refrigeration technician handles commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor maintenance, the filter is handled according to the manufacturer’s instructions, and the ProCore copper coils are designed to resist corrosion. Refrigerant leak detection is built into the unit, one more advantage in a space open to the public. In summer, dehumidification reaches 7.6 pints\/h, and the warranty follows the same breakdown as on the Fujitsu page: 12 years for the compressor as for parts, 6 years for labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn honest word about the grant. The ARUH36KUAS and AOUH36KUAS1 combination appears at \u003cstrong\u003e$3,048\u003c\/strong\u003e on Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list of October 27, 2026, but this program is aimed at housing. For a commercial space or a mixed-use building, eligibility is checked case by case, and we will not put it in your budget before confirming it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system suits the professional practice, boutique or office that has a dropped ceiling and wants a single, discreet heat pump that can connect to building management. It is less suited if clearance above the tiles is lacking, or if the space is too large for a single unit; the on-site load calculation settles the question.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShop or office in Charlemagne: ask AirGreen for your quote\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Charlemagne, on the North Shore, we schedule the visit around your business hours: ceiling survey, diffuser locations, choice of control or gateway, interlocks to plan and position of the outdoor unit.

These are the same two units as the twin Fujitsu AIRSTAGE, identical down to the model number. The manufacturer only changed its name: Fujitsu General Limited has gone by GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026, and neither the manufacturer’s spec sheet nor the warranty has moved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is aimed at a specific kind of house: a ground floor where kitchen, dining room and living room form one large space, and a backyard organized around the deck. The outdoor unit too often ends up right next to the patio door, simply because that is the shortest run. Here, the \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e can reach \u003cstrong\u003e246 ft (75 m)\u003c\/strong\u003e: enough to set the outdoor unit along a side wall or behind the garage, where it spoils neither the view nor dinner outside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe other decision concerns the heating you already have. The CENTAURI offers several backup heating logics and external outputs that can control a backup appliance. An existing appliance, if it can be connected, can therefore stay in reserve for the hardest nights, and the logic chosen at commissioning determines when it takes over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt was in August 2025 that Paloma Rheem Holdings, owner of Rheem since 1988, bought Fujitsu General Limited; the company has carried the name GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026. Everything else stayed in place: Kawasaki, Japan, still houses the head office and the research and development centre, the factories are the same, AIRSTAGE products keep their model numbers and the warranty program does not change. The Fujitsu brand is being phased out gradually and, during this transition, the same machine is sold under two names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHence our two product pages, both online. A quote from another contractor may say Fujitsu, a recent catalogue may say GENERAL; the table below puts them side by side, and every row gives the same value.

The ARUH42KUAS sits in the basement ceiling, in a mechanical room or in a suspended ceiling, and pushes air through \u003cstrong\u003educts\u003c\/strong\u003e to grilles, while a \u003cstrong\u003ereturn air\u003c\/strong\u003e path brings the house air back to the unit. In an open-concept space, the challenge is not heating one room: it is spreading air over the whole length of the space. With a maximum airflow of \u003cstrong\u003e1,501 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e, the unit can feed several grilles spread between the kitchen and the living room, without a single outlet doing all the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThose grilles are often far from the unit, at the end of a long duct run. That is where \u003cstrong\u003estatic pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e matters. The manufacturer gives an external static pressure of 0.12 to 0.72 in. WC for this model, and the unit detects the static pressure of the duct system on its own to set its airflow. The return air connects on the side or from below, depending on what the ceiling allows. No automatic setting will fix a poorly designed duct system, though: the layout, the duct sizes and the number of grilles are decided at the visit, room by room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is what the manufacturer’s spec sheet allows for the refrigerant line between the two units:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emaximum length of \u003cstrong\u003e246 ft (75 m)\u003c\/strong\u003e;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efactory precharge for 98 ft (30 m); beyond that, the refrigeration technician tops up the refrigerant charge on site;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emaximum height difference of 98 ft (30 m) between the indoor unit and the outdoor unit;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eminimum length of 16 ft (5 m), even when the two units are close together;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 and 5\/8 in. piping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA long line is not free, though: more copper, more refrigerant, more labour hours. We do not propose the maximum on principle. We look for the shortest location that keeps the deck quiet, then show you what each option involves, before you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhich brings us to noise. The AOUH42KUAS1 outdoor unit is rated at 57 dB(A): not a racket, but not what you want to hear next to the table on a July evening. Inside, the ducted unit runs between 29 and 40 dB(A), with a four-speed fan plus auto mode. Hidden in the basement, it drops out of mind: in the living room, what you hear is mostly air at the grilles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn performance, the system is listed under \u003cstrong\u003eAHRI certificate 215812202\u003c\/strong\u003e and certified \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR with the cold climate designation\u003c\/strong\u003e (ID 3630315).

The −8 °C and −15 °C values come from different test points: each one is read on its own, never against the other. And “no low temperature cut out” means the system keeps running below its rated range, without its capacity having been tested there. That is exactly where the appliance kept in reserve earns its place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConnecting that appliance goes through the indoor unit’s external inputs and outputs, which also handle \u003cstrong\u003einterlocking\u003c\/strong\u003e with other equipment: fire alarm, door switch, humidifier, backup heating. We set the backup logic according to the appliance you keep and how you plan to use it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo control is supplied: the controller is not included and controls are sold separately. The choice is yours:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-RNRUZ5 or KAGAMI UTY-RVRU wired touchscreen controller, on the living room wall;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-LBTUM kit, that is, an IR receiver and a wireless remote;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUTY-TFSXJ4 Wi-Fi adapter to run the system from the AIRSTAGE Mobile app;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 V thermostat interface, if you would rather keep a classic wall thermostat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the control you choose, you get economy, energy saving, powerful and minimum heat modes, the weekly timer, the 24-hour timer and the sleep function; defrost and restart are automatic. Minimum heat mode, for its part, holds a base temperature while the house sits empty during a February trip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor maintenance, we plan an access hatch in front of the indoor unit, through which the filter comes out and the unit gets inspected. The \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e removes the water taken out of the air, up to 5.5 pints per hour in dehumidification. The ProCore copper coils resist corrosion well, a refrigerant leak detection sensor is built in, and the universal, compact outdoor unit combines an Inverter compressor with \u003cstrong\u003eR-32\u003c\/strong\u003e refrigerant, which has a low global warming potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system appears on Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list of October 27, 2026 with a \u003cstrong\u003e$3,840 grant\u003c\/strong\u003e, subject to the program’s conditions. The warranty is 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour, exactly the same as the Fujitsu version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt suits large open-concept homes, owners who want the outdoor unit away from their outdoor living space, and those who want to keep existing heating as backup. In a more modest house, on the other hand, 42,000 BTU would be too big: an oversized heat pump runs in short cycles and dehumidifies poorly in summer. The load calculation done at the visit settles the question, and the CENTAURI series includes other capacities.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour free quote in Kirkland and across the West Island\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCall us at \u003cstrong\u003e514 316-2973\u003c\/strong\u003e for a free quote.

If you have already seen them under the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE brand, you are not mistaken: it is the same machine, from the same manufacturer, Fujitsu General Limited, which became GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. The manufacturer’s spec sheet and the warranty have not changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea is simple to state and demanding to do well: a single unit, hidden in the basement mechanical room, that heats and cools an entire family home, from the bedrooms upstairs to the family room downstairs. No wall head in the kids’ room, no different appliance on every floor: one duct system, discreet grilles and a single outdoor unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things tip the balance toward this model. The \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant leak detection sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e is built into the indoor unit, which matters when the equipment lives inside the house. And the \u003cstrong\u003e$4,320 LogisVert grant\u003c\/strong\u003e listed for this system on Hydro-Québec’s list of October 27, 2026 is the highest in the entire CENTAURI series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt all starts with a buyout. In August 2025, Fujitsu General Limited came under the control of Paloma Rheem Holdings, already the owner of Rheem since 1988, and the company has been called GENERAL Inc. since the start of 2026. The head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre are both still based in Kawasaki, Japan; nothing changes either for the factories, the AIRSTAGE range, the model numbers or the warranty program. The Fujitsu name is fading out little by little and, during the transition, you will find the same machine under both names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen shows both versions for a practical reason: you should be able to compare row by row, without guessing. The following table lines up the two columns. These products have been sold in Canada by Rheem Canada since February 2026, Groupe Master is still our distributor, and we install them as an \u003cstrong\u003eAIRSTAGE Elite Plus\u003c\/strong\u003e

The ARUH48KUAS goes in the mechanical room, in the basement ceiling or in a utility closet; supply \u003cstrong\u003educts\u003c\/strong\u003e run up to every room and one or more \u003cstrong\u003ereturn air\u003c\/strong\u003e grilles bring the air back to the unit. On the ground floor as upstairs, air arrives through floor or ceiling grilles. Nobody sees the unit, and every room gets its share, out of a maximum airflow of \u003cstrong\u003e1,501 CFM\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany family homes already have ducts, left over from a furnace or an old central air conditioner. They are not necessarily good for the scrap heap, nor necessarily good to keep. We inspect them at the visit and assess whether they fit the unit’s \u003cstrong\u003estatic pressure\u003c\/strong\u003e range, 0.12 to 0.72 in. WC according to the manufacturer. Once running, the unit automatically detects the static pressure of the duct system and adjusts its airflow. The return air connects on the side or from below, which gives some flexibility in a mechanical room that is already busy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne unit does not mean one temperature everywhere. The CENTAURI is compatible with Airzone communicating zoning, a third-party option: motorized dampers in the ducts separate, for example, the bedroom floor from the ground floor. It is not mandatory, and in many houses a good balancing of the grilles is enough; we will tell you frankly whether zoning is worth the expense in your home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBack to the leak sensor. It is part of the indoor unit from the factory. The system runs on \u003cstrong\u003eR-32\u003c\/strong\u003e, a refrigerant with a low global warming potential, and the universal, compact outdoor unit relies on an Inverter compressor. For equipment housed under the floor where the family sleeps, knowing that the monitoring is built into the machine rather than added afterwards is worth something.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe certified values for this system:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAHRI certificate 215812203\u003c\/strong\u003e;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR\u003c\/strong\u003e with the cold climate designation (ID 3630316);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eseasonal ratings: SEER2 of 16.4, EER2 of 9.8 and HSPF2 of 10.0;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e36,000 BTU of heating capacity at −8 °C, COP of 2.75;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e38,500 BTU of heating capacity at −15 °C according to NEEP, COP of 2.21.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese two heating capacities do not come from the same test point. Drawing a gap between them would be misleading, so we leave them as they are. The manufacturer states heating down to \u003cstrong\u003e−21 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e and specifies “no low temperature cut out”: the system keeps running below its rated range, but no capacity is published for those conditions. For a whole house, we therefore always discuss backup heat. The CENTAURI handles several backup heating logics and can control a backup appliance through its external outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the electrical side, the system needs a dedicated 208\/230 V circuit: minimum circuit ampacity of 24 A and maximum overcurrent protection of 30 A according to the data file. We check at the visit that your panel has room, rather than finding out on the day of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summer, a family home produces a lot of humidity: showers, cooking, laundry. The system removes up to 8.2 pints of water per hour in dehumidification, and the \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in condensate pump\u003c\/strong\u003e drains it away. Indoors, the ducted unit’s sound level sits between 29 and 40 dB(A), across four fan speeds plus Auto mode. The outdoor unit is rated at 59 dB(A); we choose its location with the bedroom windows in mind, yours as well as the neighbours’. For that, the manufacturer’s spec sheet allows a refrigerant line of up to 246 ft (75 m), precharged for 98 ft (30 m), with a minimum length of 16 ft (5 m) and a maximum height difference of 98 ft (30 m).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe system ships without a control: the controller is bought separately.

Add to that the 24-hour timer, the sleep function, the economy, energy saving, powerful and minimum heat modes, automatic defrost and automatic restart after a power outage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoutine maintenance comes down to the filter. We leave an access hatch in front of the unit so it slides out without opening a ceiling, and the ProCore copper coils, highly resistant to corrosion, hold up well over time. Commissioning is a job for a refrigeration technician. The warranty is the same as the Fujitsu twin’s: compressor 12 years, parts 12 years, labour 6 years. The LogisVert grant applies under the conditions of Hydro-Québec’s program.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system suits family homes where the load calculation confirms a need of this size, houses with ducts that can be reused, and families who want no visible equipment in the rooms. It does not suit a house whose needs are clearly smaller: 48,000 BTU is the largest capacity in the series, not a default choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFree quote in Mont-Saint-Hilaire and everywhere on the South Shore\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a whole house, the quote starts with a visit: the rooms, the existing ducts, the electrical panel, the location of the outdoor unit.
