01 · What only the Centauri does

The whole house, through the ducts.

Six facts from Fujitsu sheets, the ENERGY STAR list, the NEEP list and the LogisVert guide. Sources are at the bottom of the page.

16,100 BTU/h

The 12,000 BTU/h Centauri gives 16,100 BTU/h at -15 °C, slightly more than its 16,000 BTU/h rated at +8.3 °C.

75 m

The 48,000 size accepts up to 75 m of line set, 30 m of it pre-charged at the factory.

No cut-out

Fujitsu’s submittals state there is no automatic low-temperature cut-out; capacity is not tested below -21 °C, though.

5 of 6

Five of the six sizes carry the ENERGY STAR "Most Efficient" designation; the 48,000 does not.

$1,272 → $4,464

LogisVert subsidy from $1,272 to $4,464 depending on size, at $120 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C.

28 dB(A)

At quiet speed, the indoor unit goes down to 28 dB(A) in heating (24,000 size).

02 · Its place in the range

Centauri or Centauri XLTH: the same indoor unit.

Both series use the AMUH indoor unit; the outdoor unit is what changes. The XLTH heats 5 °C lower, at 30,000, 36,000 and 48,000.

04 · In cold weather

The 12,000 gives more at -15 °C than at +8 °C.

Bars: capacity at -15 °C (ENERGY STAR) and maximum capacity at -21 °C (NEEP). Red tick: the ENERGY STAR rated values, including the -8 °C one LogisVert uses.

At -8 °C the rated value is a part-load test: it can be lower than at -15 °C. Fujitsu shows no low-temperature cut-out, but publishes no capacity below -21 °C.

From 2 to 16 kW, inside the indoor unit.

Pick a size: the Fujitsu kits that fit it. Each one needs a dedicated circuit. Fujitsu publishes no switch-over temperature in the documents read: we set it with you.

All about LogisVert

Four questions before counting on LogisVert

Is your project eligible?
  • Will the indoor unit or the ducts be in the attic or roof space? No
  • Does the house already have a geothermal system? No
  • Are you replacing only the outdoor unit, the indoor unit or a coil? No
  • Does the replacement follow a breakdown covered by a warranty or insurance? No
10 · Controls

Wall controller, Wi-Fi or your 24 V thermostat.

The UTY-TTRXZ1 interface keeps your 24 V thermostat, but Fujitsu specifies it is used with no other control.
