01 · What only the Centauri XLTH does

More heat when it gets colder.

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

-26 °C

Fujitsu publishes a heating range down to -26 °C (-15 °F) for the Centauri XLTH, not -30 °C.

51,000 BTU/h

The 48,000 XLTH gives 51,000 BTU/h at -26 °C, as much as its rated output at +8.3 °C.

34,000 · 41,000

At -15 °C, the 30,000 and 36,000 XLTH give 34,000 and 41,000 BTU/h, more than their rated output at +8.3 °C.

+10,000 BTU/h

At -15 °C, the 48,000 XLTH gives 51,000 BTU/h, against 41,000 for the standard Centauri of the same size.

The paradox

Its LogisVert subsidy is lower than the standard Centauri’s because it is calculated on the rated output at -8 °C.

Most Efficient

All three sizes carry the ENERGY STAR "Most Efficient" designation.

02 · The real figure

-26 °C, according to Fujitsu.

You sometimes read -30 °C for the Centauri XLTH. Here are the ranges Fujitsu publishes, side by side.

-32 °C-22 °C-12 °C-2 °C8 °C18 °C28 °C38 °C48 °C

HeatingCooling

Operating ranges published by Fujitsu. The cooling ranges of the Centauri XLTH and the Orion XLTH+ are not shown here; the Centauri’s runs from -21 to 50 °C.

-30 °C? Fujitsu writes “-15°F to 75°F (-26°C)” for the Centauri XLTH. The -30 °C comes from the Orion XLTH+ wall unit, a different series.

04 · In deep cold

More heat at -15 °C than at +8 °C.

Bars: capacity at -15 °C (ENERGY STAR) and maximum capacity at -26 °C (NEEP). Red tick: the rated values, including the -8 °C one LogisVert uses.

At -8 °C the rated value is a part-load test: it is lower than at -15 °C. Fujitsu states no low-temperature lockout for the XLTH.

06 · The heated base pan

Against ice, from 2 °C.

What Fujitsu adds to XLTH units for winter.

150 W

The pan heater’s power, per the NEEP list for all three sizes.

From 2 °C

Fujitsu: at 36 °F (2 °C), the heater warms the base of the outdoor unit so condensation does not freeze.

Metal fan guard

XLTH models have a metal fan guard instead of plastic, according to Fujitsu.

Drainage

Melt water drains through many holes at the bottom of the unit. We raise the unit so ice does not block them.

07 · Electric back-up

From 3 to 16 kW, inside the indoor unit.

Fujitsu kits for the AMUH30, AMUH36 and AMUH48 units. Each needs a dedicated circuit.

Fujitsu brochure and submittal sheets. LogisVert pays nothing for a heater kit.

08 · The indoor unit

The AMUH unit, in four positions.

The same indoor unit as the standard Centauri: upright or lying down, and downflow needs a kit.

Upflow

In the basement, air rises into the ducts. No kit.

Downflow

Kit required: UTD-DFMSB1 (12,000 to 24,000) or UTD-DFMMB1 (30,000 to 48,000).

Horizontal left

Lying in a crawl space or ceiling, outlet to the left.

Horizontal right

Same, outlet to the right.

10 · Hydro-Québec LogisVert

From $2,520 to $4,080.

The paradox: the XLTH heats better in deep cold, but gets a little less than the Centauri of the same size, because LogisVert is computed from the value rated at -8 °C.

ModelIndicative amountCalculation

XLTH 48,000$4,08034,000 BTU/h ÷ 1,000 × $120 = $4,080
ENERGY STAR required

Since November 26, 2025, only ENERGY STAR certified heat pumps qualify.

12,000 BTU/h minimum

The outdoor unit must be at least 12,000 BTU/h nominal in cooling.

Ducts inside the envelope

For a central system, the indoor unit must not be in the attic or outside the insulation plane.

9 months to apply

You apply no later than nine months after installation.
