The manufacturer, Fujitsu General Limited, became GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. AHRI certificate 6998276, the ENERGY STAR certification, the performance values and the warranty have not moved by a single digit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe put it forward for one specific case: you have two rooms to handle, say a living room and a bedroom, and a budget you do not want to blow past. An 18,000 BTU compressor running on R-410A refrigerant, two compact heads, a single hole through the exterior wall per head and a single unit outside. It is the most direct way into the world of the \u003cstrong\u003ewall-mounted heat pump\u003c\/strong\u003e without buying two separate appliances or touching the interior walls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, where row housing leaves little room for two outdoor units and back balconies are shared between neighbours, this setup settles the space question and the budget question at the same time. One machine outside, two set points inside, and an HVAC contractor who knows those back lanes by heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name change came from the top: Paloma Rheem Holdings, owner of Rheem since 1988, acquired Fujitsu General in August 2025, and the company has carried the name GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026. The head office and the research centre stay in Kawasaki, Japan; the factories, the model numbers, the warranty program and the AIRSTAGE line stay the same. During the transition, the same AOU18RLXFZ outdoor unit reaches us sometimes under one name, sometimes under the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we keep both product pages online, with the same values side by side. You can order under either name: the compressor, the heads, the certificate and the warranty are identical, and our team installs both the same way. In Canada, sales have gone through Rheem Canada since February 2026, and Groupe Master remains our distributor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tp-compare\"

The manufacturer publishes a \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 18.0 and an \u003cstrong\u003eEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 12.5 in cooling: the first measures efficiency over a whole summer season, the second measures efficiency during a heat wave, when the compressor is working flat out. In heating, the \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e reaches 8.7. The higher these three ratings, the less electricity you pay for the same comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe number that really matters on a January evening is the capacity left in deep cold. According to the values published by the manufacturer, the AOU18RLXFZ outdoor unit still delivers 13,900 BTU of heat at −8 °C and 11,000 BTU at −15 °C, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 1.86 at that last temperature. A COP of 1.86 means that for every unit of electricity consumed, the heat pump delivers 1.86 units of heat; an electric baseboard delivers exactly one. Heating is guaranteed down to −15 °C. This model is not a certified cold-climate unit: below that temperature, your existing baseboards take over. The heat pump does the heavy lifting from November to March, and the baseboards fill in on the bitterest nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach zone has its own set point. The living room head can run in cooling at your daytime temperature while the bedroom stays cooler for the night; in winter, you heat the room in use and turn the other one down. The \u003cstrong\u003eInverter compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts its speed to the combined demand of the two heads instead of stopping and restarting over and over. Outside, the published sound level of the outdoor unit is 49.0 dB(A), which matters when it sits a few steps from the neighbour's window. In cooling mode, the system also pulls up to 3.8 pints of water per hour out of the home's air, the humidity that makes August evenings sticky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page's configuration pairs two 7,000 BTU heads, but you choose your indoor units with us from the three compatible models:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASU7RLF1\u003c\/strong\u003e (7,000 BTU): the bedroom, the office or the small closed room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASU9RLF1\u003c\/strong\u003e (9,000 BTU): the main bedroom or the mid-sized living room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASU12RLF1\u003c\/strong\u003e (12,000 BTU): the living area open onto the kitchen.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AOU18RLXFZ outdoor unit accepts a maximum of 2 zones; it is a two-head system, full stop, and that is what keeps it simple and affordable. If a third space is on your mind, we will steer you toward a larger compressor in the same series rather than overload this one. To choose the capacities, we look at the floor area of each room, its sun exposure and its insulation; an oversized head short-cycles and dehumidifies less effectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the installation side, here is what we do at your place:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA single \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e, set on a wall bracket or a ground base, raised to stay above the snow and clear of the eavestroughs, with free air all around it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e per head, each in its own sleeve, running from the outdoor unit to the location of the wall-mounted head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA head location chosen for air circulation: up high, on a clear wall, never above a tall cabinet or facing a heavy curtain.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA condensate drain for each head, on a continuous slope to the outside or to a drain, tested with water before closing up.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dedicated electrical circuit, run by an electrician, then a commissioning by a refrigeration technician who checks the charge and the supply-air temperatures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance comes down to two habits. The \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e of each head pull out without tools and rinse under lukewarm water; do it often in summer, and the airflow stays what it was on day one. Once a year, a refrigeration technician cleans the outdoor coil, checks the R-410A pressure and tests the drain. Wi-Fi is offered as an option, which lets you start the cooling from the metro before you get home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the model is ENERGY STAR certified, it appears on Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list: the grant tied to this system is $695 according to the list in effect on October 27, 2026. We help you put the application together. On a first purchase with a counted budget, that amount tips the scale, and it comes on top of a warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWho it is for, exactly: the couple buying their first home in Hochelaga-Maisonneuve who want to cool the bedroom and the living room without major work; the owner of a rented garden-level unit who wants to give the tenant two zones; the person working from home who wants a cool office in the afternoon and a tempered bedroom at night. In all these cases, two 7,000 BTU heads on an 18,000 BTU compressor cover the essentials, and R-410A, a refrigerant our technicians have handled for years, keeps routine servicing quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Free Quote for Hochelaga-Maisonneuve, Montreal and the Whole Region\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCall us at 514 316-2973 or request your free quote online: we come by to measure your two rooms, pinpoint the spot for the outdoor unit and propose the heads that fit.

Only the manufacturer's name has changed: Fujitsu General Limited has been called GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026. AHRI certificate 6998279, the ENERGY STAR certification, the published values and the warranty follow the machine, without exception.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe top floor of a condo, as anyone who lives there knows, is the first to heat up in June and the last to cool down in August. The roof soaks up sun all day and releases it into the bedrooms in the evening, at the exact moment you want to sleep. A window air conditioner in each bedroom blocks the view, rattles the glass, and your condo association no doubt has something to say about what hangs out of the windows. A \u003cstrong\u003emulti-zone heat pump\u003c\/strong\u003e settles the matter cleanly: two wall-mounted heads, a single outdoor unit, one set point per bedroom, and nothing sticking out of the façade anymore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Verdun as in LaSalle, many recent condos sit in small flat-roofed buildings, with a balcony or a terrace on the top level. That is often where the outdoor unit finds its place, on a suitable bracket, or on the roof when the building allows it. We give you the technical information the association usually asks for before approving the work: model, planned location, sound level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story fits in a few dates. In August 2025, Paloma Rheem Holdings, which has owned Rheem since 1988, acquired Fujitsu General. On January 1, 2026, the company became GENERAL Inc. Nothing moved on the technical side: the head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, Japan, the factories, the model numbers, the AIRSTAGE products and the warranty program have stayed the same. While the Fujitsu brand gradually fades out, the same AOU24RLXFZ outdoor unit can reach us under either label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo we show two product pages for a single product, and we say it plainly: pick the one you like, the result installed in your home will be identical.

In cooling, the manufacturer publishes a \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 18.0 and an \u003cstrong\u003eEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 12.5. SEER2 averages out a full season; EER2 measures what the machine consumes when it is truly hot outside and the compressor does not let up. Under a flat roof in July, that second rating is the one that concerns you most: an EER2 of 12.5 means heat-wave afternoons stay reasonable on the electricity bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTop-floor heat is also humid heat. In cooling, the system removes up to 3.8 pints of water per hour from the indoor air. A drier bedroom feels cool at a higher set point, which lets the compressor work less hard for the same quality of sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe two zones each follow their own set point. The main bedroom can go lower for the night while the second bedroom, now an office, stays at a working temperature; when nobody is in it, you put it on standby. The \u003cstrong\u003eInverter compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e adjusts its speed to the combined needs of both heads, with no abrupt starts. On the balcony or the roof, the outdoor unit shows a published sound level of 52.0 dB(A), a useful figure when the neighbour's terrace is right next door.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinter counts too, even on the top floor. According to the values published by the manufacturer, the AOU24RLXFZ delivers 14,100 BTU of heat at −8 °C and 11,900 BTU at −15 °C, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 1.86 at −15 °C. Translated: on an ordinary January day as on a genuinely cold night, every kilowatt-hour consumed gives you back 1.86 kilowatt-hours of heat, where an electric baseboard gives you back just one. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 8.7 sums up that performance over the whole heating season. Heating is guaranteed down to −15 °C; this is not a certified cold-climate model, so your baseboards stay in place for the harshest nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page's configuration pairs two 7,000 BTU heads, but the 24,000 BTU compressor gives you some leeway.

Each head hides washable \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e that come out without tools; a regular rinse in lukewarm water during the summer keeps the airflow intact. A yearly visit from a refrigeration technician covers cleaning the outdoor coil, checking the drain and inspecting the connections. The Wi-Fi module is offered as an option: handy for starting the bedroom cooling before you leave the office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the money side, this system carries the ENERGY STAR certification (ID 2409935) and it is on Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list, with a $705 grant according to the October 27, 2026 list.

The Japanese manufacturer, Fujitsu General Limited, took the name GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. AHRI certificate 8071548, the values published by the manufacturer and the warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour remain those of the Fujitsu model.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe extended bungalow has a challenge all its own: the original house and the addition do not live at the same pace. The bedroom wing stays mild, while the new room at the back, with its large windows and higher ceiling, overheats in July and cools off fast in January. A single \u003cstrong\u003ewall-mounted heat pump\u003c\/strong\u003e in the living room never reaches the far end of the addition.

Paloma Rheem Holdings, owner of Rheem since 1988, bought Fujitsu General in August 2025; on January 1, 2026, the manufacturer officially took the name GENERAL Inc. The head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre are still in Kawasaki, Japan, and the factories, the AIRSTAGE line, the model numbers and the warranty program have not changed. The Fujitsu brand is gradually disappearing from the boxes; until then, the same AOU36RLXFZ1 outdoor unit is sold under both names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo spare you comparing two pages that say the same thing, we put the values side by side below.

According to the values published by the manufacturer, the AOU36RLXFZ1 outdoor unit delivers 21,400 BTU of heat at −8 °C and 22,600 BTU at −15 °C, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 1.82 at that last temperature. In practical terms, on a −15 °C night, the heat pump produces 1.82 times more heat than the electricity it consumes. The manufacturer guarantees heating down to −15 °C; the model is not certified for cold climates, so your current heating stays in place as a backup for extreme cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the whole season, the \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 8.6 measures heating performance: the higher it is, the less each winter month costs you. In summer, the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 18.0 and the \u003cstrong\u003eEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 9.5 describe the cooling, the first over the whole season, the second in heat-wave weather. On the humidity side, the unit extracts up to 3.8 pints of water per hour in cooling, which makes the addition less clammy on hot, humid days.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne wing, one set point. The bedroom side can stay cool for the night while the addition, often a family room or an open kitchen, keeps its daytime temperature. If it is only used in the evening, you turn it down in the morning without touching the bedrooms. The \u003cstrong\u003eInverter compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e modulates its speed according to what the two heads ask for, instead of running flat out and then shutting off. The outdoor unit shows a published sound level of 55.0 dB(A): we prefer to place it away from bedroom windows, yours as well as the neighbour's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page's configuration calls for two 9,000 BTU heads, one per wing.

If you sleep with the door closed, one head per bedroom is better, and this compressor has the headroom to do it. Those two free zones are the real strength of a 36,000 BTU unit in an extended bungalow: you start with two heads and come back later for a bedroom or the finished basement, with no second outdoor unit in the yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt your home, the installation goes like this:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e is installed at the back, ideally between the two wings, on a raised base or a wall bracket, sheltered from snow sliding off the roof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e per head; in a bungalow, it often runs through the basement or along the exterior wall under a line cover, which keeps it discreet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach head is mounted high on a clear wall, aimed so the air reaches the far end of the room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe condensate from each head drains by gravity to the outside or to the basement drain, with a water test before the work is finished.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dedicated electrical circuit at the panel, then a commissioning by a refrigeration technician, with tests in both modes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetween two visits, your only job is to take out the \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e of each head and rinse them, often during peak season. Every spring, before the first hot days, a refrigeration technician cleans the outdoor coil, checks the drainage and verifies the operation of each zone. To control both wings from your phone, Wi-Fi is offered as an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA frank word about money: this model is not ENERGY STAR certified and it is not on Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list of October 27, 2026. So we promise you no grant on this system. What it offers in return is the long warranty described above and the flexibility of a compressor that accepts up to four zones. If the grant weighs heavily in your decision, ask us to compare it with a listed model from the same series.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is for the owner of a bungalow extended at the back or on the side, whose new wing has never been heated or cooled as well as the rest of the house. It also suits the family that wants to settle two key rooms first and keep the door open to two more zones, and the homeowner who prefers a single outdoor unit behind the house to two appliances cluttering the yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSaint-Bruno, Saint-Basile and the Whole South Shore: Your Free Quote\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a free quote, call AirGreen at 514 316-2973 or write to us online.

Since January 1, 2026, the manufacturer has been called GENERAL Inc. rather than Fujitsu General Limited.

Add the living room or the family room on the house side, and you have two large volumes that each call for plenty of output.

After the acquisition by Paloma Rheem Holdings in August 2025, owner of Rheem since 1988, the new name took effect on January 1, 2026. Nothing changes for the head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, Japan, nor for the factories, the AIRSTAGE products, the model numbers and the warranty program. Only the Fujitsu brand is stepping back, gradually, so the same AOU45RLXFZ outdoor unit is circulating under both names for now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRather than choose a label for you, we publish both pages, and the table that follows lines them up value by value.

According to the values published by the manufacturer, the AOU45RLXFZ outdoor unit delivers 28,200 BTU of heat at −8 °C and 31,400 BTU at −15 °C, with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 1.88 at −15 °C. For you, that means this: when the thermometer drops to −15 °C, every dollar of electricity the heat pump consumes produces 1.88 times the heat it would give in a baseboard or a convector. Heating is guaranteed down to that temperature. Since this model is not certified for cold climates, keep an electric backup in the converted room for the most frigid nights.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver the whole cold season, the \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e reaches 9.2; in summer, the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e climbs to 20.0, with an \u003cstrong\u003eEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 10.5 for heat-wave days. HSPF2 adds up heating performance over a full winter, SEER2 does the same for cooling, and EER2 isolates the hottest hours. In a house where two large volumes are heated or cooled for much of the year, these high ratings show on the bill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo independent zones are what make the converted room truly usable. The gym can stay cool during the morning workout while the family room waits at its daytime temperature; the office set up in the former garage warms up before you arrive and goes on standby when you close the computer. The \u003cstrong\u003eInverter compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e splits its output between the two heads according to actual demand. In cooling, the unit removes up to 3.8 pints of water per hour, an asset in a room on a slab where humidity tends to settle in. For the neighbours, the manufacturer publishes an outdoor sound level of 55.0 dB(A).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe page is configured with two 9,000 BTU heads, but a 45,000 BTU compressor is built to think bigger. For a converted garage and a family room, we look first at the large indoor units.

Since the AOU45RLXFZ accepts up to 5 zones, the upstairs bedrooms can also be connected to the same compressor later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the installation by our team includes:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e goes on the side of the house, away from the driveway, so it does not end up under the snow the snowblower or the shovel piles up there.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e per head: the converted garage's line often goes straight through its exterior wall, the family room's line follows the shortest and most discreet route.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe head in the former garage is mounted high on the longest wall, to sweep the whole room.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach head drains to the outside; in a room on a slab where no slope is possible, a condensate pump takes care of it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dedicated electrical circuit, then a commissioning by a refrigeration technician who tests each zone in heating and in cooling.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e deserve special attention in a converted garage, especially if it serves as a gym or a workshop: dust builds up faster there. Take them out, rinse them, let them dry, put them back. A yearly inspection by a refrigeration technician completes the routine: outdoor coil, drainage, connections. With Wi-Fi offered as an option, you warm up the room from your phone before heading down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the question of grants, let's be clear: this model is neither ENERGY STAR certified nor on Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list of October 27, 2026. So no amount should be expected on that side. Its case lies elsewhere: an HSPF2 of 9.2, solid heating capacity at −15 °C and the manufacturer's long warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is aimed at the owner who has converted the attached garage and finally wants to use it all year, and at the house where two large ground-floor living spaces ask for more than an ordinary-sized head can give. It also suits the family planning to add zones over time: with up to 5 zones on the same compressor, what comes next is planned in advance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLorraine, Bois-des-Filion and the North Shore: Let's Talk About Your Converted Garage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen offers a free quote: dial 514 316-2973 or fill out the online form.

In summer, they become the hottest rooms in the house, precisely the ones where people are trying to sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA two-zone system answers both seasons at once.

On January 1, 2026, it adopted the name GENERAL Inc. The engineers still work at the head office and R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, Japan; the factories, the AIRSTAGE range, the model numbers and the warranty program have stayed the same. During the transition, the Fujitsu brand is gradually giving way and the same machine is marketed under both names.

They describe a compressor that holds firm when the thermometer drops. At −8 °C, an ordinary temperature in Laval in the middle of January, its reference capacity is 14,200 BTU\/h with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 2.6, and NEEP certifies a peak of 23,500 BTU\/h, above its rated value. At −15 °C, it still delivers 22,000 BTU\/h with a COP of 1.84. And at −26 °C, its coldest certified point and the limit of its \u003cstrong\u003eguaranteed heating\u003c\/strong\u003e, NEEP still lists 12,000 BTU\/h with a COP of 1.64.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor an all-electric house, the COP is the figure that speaks. A baseboard turns one kilowatt-hour into one kilowatt-hour of heat, no more, no less. With a COP of 2.6, the heat pump draws more than two and a half times that heat from the outdoor air for the same electricity; at −15 °C, it still supplies almost double. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 9.6 adds all of this up over a full season: the higher it is, the more heat each kilowatt-hour brings in. In summer, the SEER2 of 21.5 and the EER2 of 13.5 complete the picture, and the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient designation ranks this system among the most efficient of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the two upstairs bedrooms, this translates as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne setpoint per zone: the parents' bedroom stays cool while the child's keeps a little more warmth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA compressor that slows down instead of stopping: its certified minimum capacity of 6,200 BTU\/h lets it follow a single bedroom while limiting stops and restarts.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 150 W base pan heater in the outdoor unit, which keeps ice from building up during defrost cycles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDehumidification\u003c\/strong\u003e of 3.8 pints per hour in cooling, for less muggy summer nights.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn outdoor sound level of 50 dB(A), an asset when the unit sits near a patio or a neighbour's window.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Wi-Fi, to start heating the bedrooms from the living room before bedtime.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 18,000 BTU compressor accepts 2 zones at most: it is a system cut out for two rooms, not a base to expand later. The page's configuration, 7,000 + 7,000 BTU, matches two bedrooms of ordinary size, but the choice of heads is made with you. You choose among three models of \u003cstrong\u003ewall-mounted heads\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASU7RLF1 (7,000 BTU), ASU9RLF1 (9,000 BTU) and ASU12RLF1 (12,000 BTU). A master bedroom with a walk-in closet or a cathedral ceiling can receive a stronger head, while the small bedroom keeps the smallest one. We measure each room and confirm the combination before handing you the quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpstairs, the installation comes down to a few details that matter:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe compact AOU18RLXFZH \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e sits on a raised base or a wall bracket, above the snow and sheltered from whatever slides off the roof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant lines\u003c\/strong\u003e, one per head, come down from the upper floor along the outside wall in a raceway matched to the siding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach head is placed high on the wall that offers the most direct route outside, without blowing on the bed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondensate drains by gravity to the outside; from the upper floor, height works in our favour and a pump is rarely needed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dedicated electrical circuit feeds the outdoor unit, and the baseboards stay connected as before, as backup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e of both heads come out in a few seconds, rinse under the tap and go back in once dry.

The manufacturer has not changed, it has changed its name: Fujitsu General Limited became GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. The AHRI certificate 8033586, the ENERGY STAR certification with the cold-climate designation and the warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour are those of the Fujitsu version, word for word.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis page targets a very specific house: the semi-detached home in Brossard or Saint-Lambert heated with electric baseboards. An open ground floor where living room, dining room and kitchen share the same air, a floor of bedrooms upstairs, a party wall on one side. In winter, the baseboards run without letting up and the Hydro-Québec bill shows it. In summer, the upper floor holds the day's heat long after sunset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo zones are often enough to change the game in this type of house: one head for the open ground-floor area, another for the upper floor. The certified \u003cstrong\u003ecold-climate\u003c\/strong\u003e compressor takes on most of the heating, the baseboards move to the background, and you keep a single outdoor unit on the free side of the house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe story is short. Paloma Rheem Holdings, owner of Rheem since 1988, bought Fujitsu General Limited in August 2025; on January 1, 2026, the company became GENERAL Inc. It kept its head office and its R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, Japan, its factories, its AIRSTAGE products, its model numbers and its warranty program. The Fujitsu brand is stepping back as the transition goes on, so the same machine now circulates under two names.

We set the baseboard thermostats a few degrees below the heads' setpoint: the heat pump heats the house, and the baseboards only kick in on the days when the cold exceeds what the compressor can supply. Each zone keeps its own setpoint, the ground floor for daytime living, the upper floor for sleep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe rest of the specification sheet points the same way. A SEER2 of 20.0 and an EER2 of 13.3 in cooling, \u003cstrong\u003edehumidification\u003c\/strong\u003e of 3.8 pints per hour for July humidity, and the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient designation, which ranks this system among the most efficient of the year. The outdoor unit's base pan is fitted with a 150 W heater that keeps ice from forming in it, a detail that counts after freezing rain. Wi-Fi is available as an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7,000 + 7,000 BTU configuration is the one on this page; in an open-plan semi-detached house, we almost always revisit it. This 24,000 BTU compressor accepts up to 3 zones and five models of \u003cstrong\u003ewall-mounted heads\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASU7RLF1 (7,000 BTU), ASU9RLF1 (9,000 BTU), ASU12RLF1 (12,000 BTU), ASU15RF1 (15,000 BTU) and ASU18RLF (18,000 BTU). A large open ground floor often justifies a stronger head than the upper floor's, and the third permitted zone remains available for a finished basement or a remote bedroom. We do this calculation with you during the visit, room by room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA semi-detached house also imposes its own rules on the installation, and we take them into account:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe AOU24RLXFZH \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e is installed on the free side of the house or in the back yard, never pressed against the party wall.

The \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e of each head come out by hand and rinse with water; a clean filter means full airflow and a machine that does not have to strain. A visit by a refrigeration technician to the outdoor unit, for the coil, the pressures and the drains, rounds it all out. A single outdoor unit for the whole house also means a single outdoor service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the grant side, the AOU24RLXFZH is listed on Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list of October 27, 2026 for an amount of $1,848.

The 36,000 BTU \u003cstrong\u003eInverter compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e, the 2 zones on this page, the configuration of two 9,000 BTU wall-mounted heads (9,000 + 9,000 BTU), the AHRI certificate 8908615, the ENERGY STAR cold-climate certification and the warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour: everything is identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea behind this page is simple. Many cottages in Saint-Jérôme and Mirabel are lived in mostly through two large rooms: the open ground-floor area, where people cook, eat and unwind, and a large room upstairs or above the garage, master bedroom or family room. Those are the rooms you want to heat and cool first, and those are the ones that suffer most from an undersized unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003emulti-zone system\u003c\/strong\u003e gives them two heads and a generously sized compressor. North of Montreal, where January nights are often colder than in the city, that reserve makes the difference: the compressor keeps capacity to spare when the cold sets in, and two additional zones remain possible the day you want to equip the bedrooms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFujitsu General Limited was acquired in August 2025 by Paloma Rheem Holdings, which has owned Rheem since 1988, and then took the name GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. Nothing else moved: head office and R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, Japan, same factories, same AIRSTAGE range, same model numbers, same warranty program. The Fujitsu name is being withdrawn gradually and, until the end of this transition, you will see the same machine advertised under both brands. For Canada, Rheem Canada has handled sales since February 2026; our distributor, Groupe Master, has not changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShowing both pages lets you compare without a middleman.

For a North Shore cottage, the most telling ones are the winter figures. At −15 °C, the AOU36RLXFZH outdoor unit delivers 36,400 BTU\/h with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 2.02: its full rated capacity is still there, and each kilowatt-hour consumed returns about two kilowatt-hours of heat. At −8 °C, NEEP certifies a peak of 39,341 BTU\/h, above its rated value, for a reference capacity of 21,400 BTU\/h and a COP of 2.64. Even at −26 °C, the final certified point and the limit of \u003cstrong\u003eguaranteed heating\u003c\/strong\u003e, it still produces 22,110 BTU\/h with a COP of 1.80.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver a full season, the \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 9.5 sums up this efficiency in a single figure: it is the heat obtained per kilowatt-hour, on average, from one end of winter to the other. In summer, the SEER2 of 20.5 and the EER2 of 13.0 keep cooling frugal, even when the open area takes in the afternoon sun through large windows. ENERGY STAR in fact places this system in its Most Efficient category, among the most efficient of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLet us be frank about the configuration. Two 9,000 BTU heads on a 36,000 BTU compressor is a lot of reserve, and that is intentional for deep cold. But the compressor's certified minimum capacity is 12,000 BTU\/h: in mild weather, when a single 9,000 BTU head calls, it cannot go below that threshold and has to stop and restart more often. For two truly large rooms, we therefore often suggest stronger heads, and that is exactly what we check during the visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe choice is made among five models of \u003cstrong\u003ewall-mounted heads\u003c\/strong\u003e: ASU7RLF1 (7,000 BTU), ASU9RLF1 (9,000 BTU), ASU12RLF1 (12,000 BTU), ASU15RF1 (15,000 BTU) and ASU18RLF (18,000 BTU). The compressor accepts up to 4 zones: you can start with the two large rooms and later add a head in a bedroom or in the basement, on the same outdoor unit. The configuration on this page, 9,000 + 9,000 BTU, is only a basis for discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDay to day, here is what the system brings:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo independent setpoints: the open area and the large upstairs room each follow their own temperature and schedule.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA 150 W base pan heater in the outdoor unit, valuable where snow and freezing rain come back often.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDehumidification\u003c\/strong\u003e of 3.8 pints per hour for muggy summers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn outdoor sound level of 55 dB(A), which goes unnoticed when the unit is placed away from the patio.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional Wi-Fi, to monitor and adjust both zones remotely.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a cottage, we plan the installation with tomorrow's zones in mind as much as today's:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe AOU36RLXFZH \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e sits on a raised base or a bracket, high enough to clear the accumulated snow and away from snow sliding off the roof.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach head has its own \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e; from the start, we lay out a route that can take the lines of a third and a fourth zone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the open area, the head goes on the wall that lets it cover the whole room; upstairs, it is placed so that it blows neither on the bed nor on the sofa.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach head drains by gravity whenever the slope allows it, otherwise through a discreet pump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA dedicated circuit feeds the outdoor unit, after the electrical panel has been checked.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor maintenance, the \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e come out without tools and wash with water; in an open area where people cook, they load up faster and deserve a frequent look.

The GENERAL AIRSTAGE Aquila 2-zone 18,000 BTU is, part for part, the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE Aquila 2-zone system with outdoor unit \u003cstrong\u003eAOUH18KWAS2\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the configuration shown on this page, 7,000 + 7,000 BTU, one \u003cstrong\u003ewall-mounted head\u003c\/strong\u003e per apartment. Same manufacturer, renamed GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026, same AHRI certificate 215447685, same certified values, same warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe idea fits in one sentence. A single \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e fixed to the back wall or set on a stand in the yard, two \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant lines\u003c\/strong\u003e that each climb to their own apartment, and two remotes that never talk to each other. The ground-floor tenant sets their wall-mounted head as they please, the upstairs tenant does the same, and nobody touches the other's thermostat. For the owner, this multi-zone (multi-split) system comes down to one appliance to install, one dedicated electrical circuit, one warranty and one number to call for maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe install a lot of these 2-zone systems in the central neighbourhoods of Montreal, because the typical plex has no ducts and never will: the ceilings are low, the walls are plaster and the hardwood floors are not drilled for fun. Two wall-mounted heads, two wall penetrations and one machine outside, and that is all the building ever has to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name change comes from a transaction, not from a new factory. In August 2025, Paloma Rheem Holdings, owner of Rheem since 1988, acquired Fujitsu General; on January 1, 2026, Fujitsu General Limited became GENERAL Inc. The head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre remain in Kawasaki, Japan, the production lines are the same, and the AIRSTAGE products keep their model numbers and their warranty program. The GENERAL name is nothing new either: the brand has existed since 1946, and the company, founded in 1936, blows out 90 candles for its founding in 2026. In Canada, Rheem Canada has handled sales since February 2026, and our distributor remains Groupe Master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince the Fujitsu brand is gradually fading from the packaging, the same outdoor unit can arrive at your home under either logo during the transition. Rather than pulling one page, we keep both online: whoever searches for the Fujitsu version and whoever searches for the GENERAL version must land on the same equipment, the same figures and the same AIRSTAGE Elite Plus installer.

You will find the same AOUH18KWAS2 outdoor unit, the same compatible heads and the same values.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLet us talk heating, because that is where this compressor stands out. The values that follow come from NEEP (ashp.neep.org), under AHRI certificate 215447685. At −8 °C, an ordinary January day in Montreal, the system delivers 14,300 BTU\/h at its certified rating with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 3.1, and it can climb to 19,300 BTU\/h at peak. At −15 °C, a cold night but not an exceptional one, it still provides 17,000 BTU\/h with a COP of 2.27. Heating is guaranteed down to −15 °C; below that, the apartments' electric baseboards take over, as any backup heat would.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA COP of 3.1, in plain language, is a little more than three units of heat delivered for every unit of electricity paid for, where a baseboard gives exactly one. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 10.5 sums up that performance over a whole heating season; the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 22.0 and the EER2 of 13.2 do the same for summer. These ratings earn the system the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient designation, among the year's most efficient according to ENERGY STAR, on top of its cold-climate certification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn a plex, the two apartments almost never call for heat at the same time. The \u003cstrong\u003eInverter\u003c\/strong\u003e compressor drops to 6,800 BTU\/h at low speed, the minimum capacity certified by NEEP: when only one tenant needs heat, the machine slows down instead of stopping and restarting, which spares the compressor and keeps the temperature steady in the apartment that is calling. Outside, the outdoor unit is rated at 49.0 dB(A), a level that matters when your yard backs directly onto the neighbour's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe refrigerant is \u003cstrong\u003eR-32\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a global warming potential of 675, versus 2,088 for R-410A according to ENERGY STAR. Our refrigeration technicians handle it with the tools and the training it requires, and the charge is checked at start-up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe configuration on this page, 7,000 + 7,000 BTU, suits two plex apartments where each head covers the main room. Nothing forces you into it: you choose your two heads with us, from the indoor units compatible with this compressor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH07KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 7,000 BTU, for a closed room or a small living room;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH09KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 9,000 BTU, for a plex double living room;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH12KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 12,000 BTU, for an open kitchen and living area;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH15KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 15,000 BTU, for the larger of the two apartments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compressor accepts two heads, no more. If you expect a third zone one day, it is better to start with a larger Aquila compressor right now, and we will tell you so plainly during the visit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe installation comes down to a few decisions made on site with you. The outdoor unit goes on the back wall, on brackets, or on the ground on a raised base to stay above the snow; we keep it away from bedroom windows and from the neighbour's balcony. Each wall-mounted head gets its own refrigerant line, its cable and its condensate drain, which pass through a single penetration per apartment and run back down in a clean line-set cover along the wall. Drainage is by gravity to the outside when the head sits on a wall facing outdoors; otherwise, a small lift pump takes care of it. The dedicated electrical circuit starts from the owner's panel or from one of the apartments, depending on what you decide with your electrician about splitting the costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is within every tenant's reach: the heads' \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e come out without tools and rinse under water, and that one gesture preserves airflow and efficiency. On the owner's side, a refrigeration technician's visit at regular intervals checks the R-32 charge, cleans the outdoor coil and inspects the drains. In winter, you simply clear the snow around the outdoor unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis system appears on Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list consulted on October 27, 2026, for an amount of $1,716. We prepare the application documents with you; the eligibility conditions are Hydro-Québec's at the time of installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2-zone system is made for the plex owner who wants to give both apartments air conditioning and efficient heating without doubling the equipment, for the owner-occupant who rents out the upstairs, and for the investor who prefers one warranty and one supplier. Each head has its remote, its setpoint and its schedule. One honest note: both heads run in the same mode at the same time, heating or cooling, each at its own temperature; the only thing the two apartments truly share is the machine in the yard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRosemont, Villeray and all of Montreal: your plex deserves a properly sized multi-zone system\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCall us at 514 316-2973 or request your free quote online.

Two rooms, two needs, and a house nobody wants to open up to run ducts that never existed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GENERAL AIRSTAGE Aquila 2-zone 24,000 BTU answers that with an \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAOUH24KWAS3\u003c\/strong\u003e and two \u003cstrong\u003ewall-mounted heads\u003c\/strong\u003e, in the configuration shown on this page, 7,000 + 7,000 BTU.

Paloma Rheem Holdings, which has owned Rheem since 1988, bought Fujitsu General in August 2025, and Fujitsu General Limited took the name GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. Nothing moved: the head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre are still in Kawasaki, Japan, the factories are the same, and the AIRSTAGE model numbers and the warranty program have not changed. GENERAL is a brand that has been in circulation since 1946, carried by a company founded in 1936 that celebrates its 90th anniversary in 2026. For the Canadian market, Rheem Canada has handled sales since February 2026; AirGreen continues to source its equipment from Groupe Master.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Fujitsu logo disappears from the boxes, the same model may be delivered to you under either brand.

The values certified by NEEP (ashp.neep.org) under AHRI certificate 215447687 read as follows: at −8 °C, 15,600 BTU\/h at the certified rating with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 3.34, and up to 22,600 BTU\/h at peak; at −15 °C, still 19,200 BTU\/h with a COP of 2.04. \u003cstrong\u003eGuaranteed heating\u003c\/strong\u003e goes down to −15 °C. On the few nights when Laval drops lower, the existing baseboards top up, and you have nothing to do to make that happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCOP is the ratio between the heat that comes out and the electricity that goes in. At 3.34, the system returns a little more than three times what it consumes, where a baseboard returns exactly what it consumes. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 10.5 averages that efficiency over an entire heating season, defrost cycles and mild days included, which makes it the most honest index for comparing two units. In summer, the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 23.0 and the EER2 of 13.0 describe the same seriousness for cooling the glassed-in living room. ENERGY STAR ranks this system among the most efficient of the year, with the Most Efficient designation, and grants it the cold-climate designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt night, only the bedroom calls. The \u003cstrong\u003eInverter\u003c\/strong\u003e compressor then drops to 6,800 BTU\/h, its minimum capacity certified by NEEP, instead of stopping and restarting every few minutes. The result: a temperature that does not yo-yo and an outdoor unit, measured at 52.0 dB(A), idling under the window. We prefer to install it on the side of the house opposite the bedroom, so that even that idle cannot be heard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fluid circulating in the two refrigerant lines is \u003cstrong\u003eR-32\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a global warming potential of 675, versus 2,088 for the R-410A that equipped the previous generation, according to ENERGY STAR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two heads in this page's configuration are 7,000 BTU each. In many bungalows, the living room with its big window deserves a stronger head than the bedroom, and that is precisely what we settle during the visit. This compressor accepts the following indoor units:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH07KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 7,000 BTU: the master bedroom or an office;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH09KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 9,000 BTU: a medium-sized living room;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH12KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 12,000 BTU: the glassed-in living room that overheats in the afternoon;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH15KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 15,000 BTU: a living room open to the dining room;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH18KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 18,000 BTU: an open living-kitchen-dining area.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo heads today, three at most: the second bedroom or the finished basement can be grafted later onto the same AOUH24KWAS3, provided the path for the third line is planned at installation, which we are glad to do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe bungalow is the easiest house to equip with a multi-zone system, and we make the most of it. Both heads go on exterior walls, each with its refrigerant line, cable and drain going straight through the wall directly behind it, so the runs are short and almost invisible. The outdoor unit sits on a ground stand, raised above the snow, on the side of the house or at the back, never under the bedroom window. Drainage works by gravity to the outside, because a single floor level calls for no pump. The dedicated electrical supply comes from the panel, most often in the basement, and the baseboards stay in place as backup heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor maintenance, each head has its washable \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e, which come out with one hand and rinse under the tap; that is the operation that keeps airflow and efficiency at the certified level. The outdoor unit needs a look every season, especially in June in Laval when poplar fluff sticks to the coil, and a visit from a refrigeration technician at regular intervals for the R-32 charge and the drains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is on Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list of October 27, 2026, for $1,872. We put together the application file with you; final eligibility is up to Hydro-Québec under its rules at the time of installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend this 2-zone system to bungalow owners who want to cool and heat both living spaces without opening a single ceiling, to those who keep their baseboards but want to stop running them all winter, and to recent buyers who want to settle summer and winter in one go, while keeping the option of a third zone.

From December to March, it is the basement family room that chills the house from below: a concrete slab, windows at ground level, and kids who spend their evenings down there in front of the TV. From June to August, it is the reverse: the heat rises, builds up under the roof, and the upstairs bedrooms become the hardest place in the whole house to put up with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GENERAL AIRSTAGE Aquila 2-zone 36,000 BTU settles both seasons with a single \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eAOUH36KWAS4\u003c\/strong\u003e, and two \u003cstrong\u003ewall-mounted heads\u003c\/strong\u003e shown here in a 7,000 + 7,000 BTU configuration. It is the same system as the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE Aquila 2-zone built on this compressor, coming from the hands of the same manufacturer, renamed GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. The AHRI certificate 215447689 is identical, the certified values too, and so is the warranty: 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts, 6 years on labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur way of installing it in a cottage is simple: one head in the family room, one head upstairs, and two independent setpoints. In winter, both zones heat. In summer, you switch off the basement one, which stays cool on its own, and let the upstairs one cool the bedrooms. And since this 36,000 BTU compressor accepts up to four heads, the main floor can become a third zone whenever you decide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat changed fits on the label. In August 2025, Paloma Rheem Holdings, the owner of Rheem since 1988, made the acquisition of Fujitsu General. On January 1, 2026, Fujitsu General Limited took the name GENERAL Inc., a name in use since 1946. The head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre stayed in Kawasaki, Japan, the factories did not change, and AIRSTAGE products retain both their model numbers and their warranty program. Rheem Canada has managed sales across the country since February 2026, while Groupe Master remains the distributor AirGreen buys from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fujitsu brand is being phased out gradually, so the same machine is still sold under both names. We therefore leave both pages online: the person who remembers the Fujitsu logo on the neighbour's unit finds us as easily as the one who sees GENERAL on the new box, and both read exactly the same

The following values are certified by NEEP (ashp.neep.org) under AHRI certificate 215447689. At −8 °C, the temperature of an ordinary January morning on the South Shore, the system delivers 23,600 BTU\/h with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 3.1, and it can climb to 29,000 BTU\/h at peak. At −15 °C, it delivers 24,000 BTU\/h with a COP of 2.2: capacity does not sag between those two temperatures. Heating is guaranteed down to −15 °C; below that threshold, the baseboards or the house's existing heating take over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCOP compares the energy delivered with the energy bought. At 3.1, every kilowatt-hour paid to Hydro-Québec comes out as a little more than three kilowatt-hours of heat in the family room. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 10.0 is the grade for the whole heating season, not for a single day: it accounts for mild mornings, cold nights and defrost cycles. For summer, the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e of 22.0 and the EER2 of 12.0 measure the same efficiency in cooling. It holds the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient designation, granted to the most efficient systems of the year. The ENERGY STAR cold-climate designation, for its part, does not appear on its listing, and we would rather tell you plainly: what protects you in January is the heating certified at −15 °C shown above.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eInverter\u003c\/strong\u003e compressor goes down to 11,000 BTU\/h at low speed, its minimum capacity certified by NEEP. In spring and fall, when only the basement asks for a little heat, it slows down instead of piling up stops and restarts, which gives a steadier temperature and spares the mechanics. Outside, the outdoor unit is measured at 56.0 dB(A); we take that into account by placing it away from the patio and from bedroom windows, yours as well as the neighbour's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two refrigerant lines carry \u003cstrong\u003eR-32\u003c\/strong\u003e, a refrigerant whose global warming potential ENERGY STAR puts at 675, where R-410A reaches 2,088.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7,000 + 7,000 BTU configuration on this page is a starting point, not an obligation.

The basement one deserves more attention, because a family room with carpet and pets loads the filters faster. In winter, you clear the snow around the outdoor unit after the big storms, and a refrigeration technician periodically checks the R-32 charge, the coil and the drains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis system appears on Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list of October 27, 2026, with an amount of $1,180.

Two open spaces, two schedules, and often two very different ideas of the right temperature. The parents like it warm from the afternoon on; the younger ones prefer to sleep cool and leave for work early.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor this type of house, we install the GENERAL AIRSTAGE Aquila 2-zone 45,000 BTU: a single \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAOUH45KWAS5\u003c\/strong\u003e and two large \u003cstrong\u003ewall-mounted heads\u003c\/strong\u003e, here in an 18,000 + 18,000 BTU configuration, one per living space.

The manufacturer has carried the name GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026; the AHRI certificate 215735280 stays the same, the certified values too, and the warranty remains 12 years for the compressor as well as for parts, and 6 years for labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo 18,000 BTU heads are no excess. An intergenerational unit is not a guest room: it is a living room, a kitchen and often a dining room in one open area, which has to be heated in January and cooled in July. Each head has its own remote, each household sets its own setpoint, and nobody has to negotiate the other's thermostat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA family growing under one roof: the parallel with the manufacturer is not far off. Paloma Rheem Holdings, Rheem's parent company since 1988, took over Fujitsu General in August 2025, and Fujitsu General Limited has been called GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026. Everything else stayed in place: the head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, Japan, the same factories, the same AIRSTAGE products under the same model numbers, the same warranty program.

Same AOUH45KWAS5, same compatible heads, same installer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTwo large living spaces call for a compressor that does not run out of breath when the cold settles over the North Shore. According to the values certified by NEEP (ashp.neep.org) for AHRI certificate 215735280, the system delivers 31,000 BTU\/h at −8 °C with a \u003cstrong\u003eCOP\u003c\/strong\u003e of 2.96, and up to 41,000 BTU\/h at peak at that same temperature. At −15 °C, it delivers 36,000 BTU\/h with a COP of 2.14. Its \u003cstrong\u003eguaranteed heating\u003c\/strong\u003e goes down to −15 °C; on colder nights, each unit's backup heating tops up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practical terms, a COP of 2.96 means that on an ordinary January morning, you get nearly three times more heat than the electricity consumed. Even at −15 °C, with a COP of 2.14, the system delivers more than double. The \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2\u003c\/strong\u003e seasonal index, which stands at 10.0 here, takes in mild days, deep cold and defrost cycles: it is the figure that sums up your winter. For cooling, the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2\u003c\/strong\u003e reaches 22.0 and the EER2 sits at 12.0. ENERGY STAR gives it the Most Efficient designation, which places it among the most efficient of the year, along with the cold-climate designation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe two households do not live at the same pace, and the \u003cstrong\u003eInverter\u003c\/strong\u003e compressor adapts. When your parents are the only ones asking for heat in the middle of the day, it slows down to 12,000 BTU\/h, the floor certified by NEEP, rather than stopping and restarting. The outdoor unit, measured at 56.0 dB(A), is placed away from the bedrooms of both units.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe refrigerant is \u003cstrong\u003eR-32\u003c\/strong\u003e; ENERGY STAR sets its global warming potential at 675, versus 2,088 for R-410A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor this configuration, two indoor units are offered, and you can combine them according to the size of each space:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH18KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 18,000 BTU: the capacity chosen for this page's configuration, cut out for an open living-kitchen area;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH24KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 24,000 BTU: for the main unit when it opens onto a dining room or a sunroom.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis compressor can feed up to five zones in total. If an extra zone is to be added one day, we check the complete combination with you before laying the first line, so that the outdoor unit stays properly sized for the whole house.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn an intergenerational home, the parents' unit is often a side extension or a walk-out level. We place each 18,000 BTU head on the wall that lets it blow along the full length of the open area, rather than in a corner. Each head has its own refrigerant line, cable and drain, which reach the outdoor unit by the shortest and most discreet route, in a line cover laid along the siding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe outdoor unit, whose dimensions appear in the table, rests on a solid base raised above the snow, on the side of the house where it bothers people the least. When a head is mounted on an exterior wall, its condensate flows outside by gravity; otherwise, a discreet condensate pump takes care of it. A single dedicated electrical circuit powers everything from the panel, and there is no duct to run from one unit to the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach household looks after the \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e of its own head: they come out by hand and rinse under the tap. With an 18,000 BTU head moving a lot of air, this simple habit matters for efficiency. The rest falls to the owner: clearing the outdoor unit after storms and having the system inspected by a refrigeration technician at regular intervals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe system is on Hydro-Québec's LogisVert list as of October 27, 2026, for a grant of $3,720. We gather the required documents with you; eligibility is determined by Hydro-Québec under its rules at the time of the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is aimed at families who take in their parents, owners who have set up an intergenerational unit and want to equip it without adding a second machine outside, and those who are building or renovating with that use in mind. Two complete spaces, two remotes, two setpoints, a single outdoor unit to maintain. One detail worth knowing: at any given moment, the whole system heats or the whole system cools, but each head keeps its own temperature. The optional \u003cstrong\u003eWi-Fi\u003c\/strong\u003e module lets you follow the temperature of the parents' unit remotely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTerrebonne, Mascouche and the whole North Shore: two units, a single quote\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCall AirGreen at 514 316-2973 or request a free quote.

Fujitsu General Limited has been called GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026, and nothing else has moved: same AHRI certificate 215447691, same certified values, same cold-climate designation, same warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend it often in Griffintown and in the Sud-Ouest, where condos, lofts and townhouses combine a closed office and a bedroom at the back of the unit, with no duct anywhere to connect them. Two heads, two setpoints and a compressor that knows how to run gently: that is enough to make two rooms comfortable without opening a single ceiling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe GENERAL name appears on our pages because the manufacturer changed owners, not products. In August 2025, Fujitsu General Limited passed into the hands of Paloma Rheem Holdings, the group that has owned Rheem since 1988, then it became GENERAL Inc. on January 1, 2026. The head office and the research and development centre stayed in Kawasaki, Japan, as did the factories; the AIRSTAGE products keep their model numbers and their warranty program. GENERAL is in fact a brand used since 1946, carried by a company founded in 1936 that celebrates 90 years in 2026. In Canada, Rheem Canada has managed sales since February 2026 and Groupe Master remains our distributor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring the transition, the Fujitsu brand is fading out little by little and the same AOUH18KWAH2 may arrive under either logo. Two pages, one system: we keep both visible so you can see for yourself that the values match, cell by cell, in the table below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ctable class=\"tp-compare\"

The Inverter compressor in the AOUH18KWAH2 avoids that back-and-forth: its minimum capacity certified by NEEP is 6,800 BTU\/h, which lets it run at low speed when a single room asks for heat or cooling. That is precisely the case of an office used during working hours and a bedroom used at night. The compressor follows the room that calls, at low speed, instead of racing for a modest demand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOutside, the outdoor unit is rated at \u003cstrong\u003e49.0 dB(A)\u003c\/strong\u003e, a low value for a multi-zone system. On a condo balcony or in a narrow back yard in the Sud-Ouest, that is what allows it to sit close to the rooms while limiting noise for the neighbours. Inside, two settings make the difference during a video call or at night: the fan on low speed, and a steady setpoint that the compressor holds without jolts. The vertical louvres move automatically; the horizontal louvres are aimed by hand, once and for all, so they do not blow straight at the desk or the pillow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuiet is worth nothing if the room is cold. This outdoor unit belongs to the \u003cstrong\u003eXLTH\u003c\/strong\u003e series, certified for cold climates, and its heating is guaranteed down to \u003cstrong\u003e−26 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e. The NEEP values (ashp.neep.org, AHRI certificate 215447691) read as follows:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eat −8 °C: 14,800 BTU\/h at certified rating, with a COP of 3.24, and up to 22,800 BTU\/h at peak;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eat −15 °C: up to 22,000 BTU\/h, with a COP of 2.18;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eat −26 °C, the coldest certified point: still 12,060 BTU\/h, with a COP of 2.02.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn practical terms, at −8 °C, every kilowatt-hour of electricity becomes a little more than three kilowatt-hours of heat in the office and the bedroom. Even at −26 °C, on a night of deep cold, the system still returns twice what it consumes, where an electric baseboard stays at one for one. A 150 W heater warms the base pan of the outdoor unit to keep ice from building up in it during defrost cycles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver a full season, the \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2 of 11.0\u003c\/strong\u003e sums up heating efficiency: it is the total heat delivered divided by the total electricity consumed, thaws and cold snaps included. In summer, the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2 of 22.0\u003c\/strong\u003e and the EER2 of 13.5 measure the same thing for air conditioning, over the season and in hot weather. The model carries the \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR Most Efficient\u003c\/strong\u003e designation on top of its cold-climate designation, and each zone keeps its own setpoint: a working temperature in the office, cooler in the bedroom if that is how you sleep best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis compressor accepts a maximum of 2 zones.

It is the best time to settle the heating and cooling of both apartments in one go. The \u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL AIRSTAGE Aquila XLTH 2-zone 24,000 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e does it with one \u003cstrong\u003eAOUH24KWAH3 outdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e and two wall-mounted heads, one per apartment, in the configuration on this page: 7,000 + 7,000 BTU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is identical to the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE Aquila XLTH with the AOUH24KWAH3 outdoor unit, and for good reason: it is the same product, from the same manufacturer. On January 1, 2026, Fujitsu General Limited simply changed its name to GENERAL Inc., without touching the rest. The AHRI certificate 215447693, the certified values, the cold-climate designation and the warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour are the same under both names.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Laval, in Vimont and Auteuil, we often come across the same profile: a duplex built a few decades ago, the owner on the ground floor, a tenant or a relative upstairs, baseboards everywhere and no ducts. A properly sized XLTH compressor covers both apartments, heats down to −26 °C and keeps a third port free for later.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the new name, there is an acquisition. Paloma Rheem Holdings, which has owned Rheem since 1988, bought Fujitsu General Limited in August 2025; on January 1, 2026, the company became GENERAL Inc. In Kawasaki, Japan, the head office and the R\u0026amp;D centre have not moved; nothing has changed in the factories either, and the AIRSTAGE products keep their model numbers as well as their warranty program. The GENERAL brand has existed since 1946, and the company behind it, founded in 1936, turns 90 in 2026. Rheem Canada has handled sales in Canada since February 2026, and our distributor, Groupe Master, stays the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Fujitsu brand is being withdrawn gradually, so for a while the same unit is sold under two names.

It describes the same compressor and the same compatible heads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA renovation changes the way a multi-zone system is installed. When the walls and ceilings are open, we can plan the path of each line before the finishing work instead of running everything outside. In practice, in coordination with your general contractor:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewe mark the location of the two \u003cstrong\u003ewall-mounted heads\u003c\/strong\u003e while the walls are still bare, so each head blows along the length of the apartment;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewe plan the route of the upstairs head's \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e and drain, often the longest run, before the drywall goes up;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewe reserve the compressor's dedicated electrical circuit while the electrician is already on site;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewe choose the location of the \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e with you, on the ground or on a bracket, based on the new landscaping or the new balcony.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf the work is already finished, nothing is lost: the lines then run in a painted exterior line-set cover, with a single opening per head. Each head has its own line and its own drain, which runs down by gravity; where the slope is lacking, a small condensate pump takes over. The outdoor unit is a little over 32 inches wide and runs at 52.0 dB(A); we place it away from snow build-up and roof drip, and away from bedroom windows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor two apartments heated with baseboards, what matters is the heat left when the thermometer drops. Under AHRI certificate 215447693, NEEP (ashp.neep.org) lists \u003cstrong\u003e16,200 BTU\/h at −8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e at the certified test point, with a COP of 3.34, and up to 26,800 BTU\/h at peak. At −15 °C, the AOUH24KWAH3 delivers up to 25,200 BTU\/h with a COP of 2.10. And at the coldest certified point, \u003cstrong\u003e−26 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e, it still provides 14,000 BTU\/h with a COP of 1.68: even in deep cold, it returns more energy than it consumes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCOP reads simply: at 3.34, one kilowatt-hour paid for becomes more than three kilowatt-hours of heat in the two apartments, while a baseboard returns only one. That is where the savings of an all-electric duplex lie. The baseboards do not disappear for all that: they stay in place as backup, set to a slightly lower temperature, and only come on if the need exceeds what the system supplies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the whole year, this compressor posts an \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2 of 11.5\u003c\/strong\u003e, the rating that measures heating over an entire winter, a \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2 of 23.5\u003c\/strong\u003e for the cooling season and an EER2 of 13.5 for hot days. It ranks among the \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR Most Efficient\u003c\/strong\u003e units, a distinction that comes on top of its cold-climate designation. Its base pan is fitted with a 150 W heater, so defrost water does not freeze at the bottom of the machine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEach apartment sets its own temperature with its remote. One honest clarification: the two heads run in the same mode, heating or cooling, since they share one compressor. In practice, a duplex heats and cools in the same seasons; a few days in fall or spring simply call for agreeing on the mode. The Inverter compressor adjusts on its own: its certified minimum capacity of 6,800 BTU\/h lets it work gently when only one apartment asks for heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe configuration on this page calls for two 7,000 BTU heads, one per apartment, but you choose your indoor units with us. The AOUH24KWAH3 accepts up to 3 zones and the following models:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH07KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 7,000 BTU, and \u003cstrong\u003eASUH09KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 9,000 BTU: the main room of an apartment of ordinary size;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH12KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 12,000 BTU: the apartment that became open-plan after the renovation, once the wall between the kitchen and the living room came down;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH15KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 15,000 BTU, and \u003cstrong\u003eASUH18KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 18,000 BTU: when one of the apartments is clearly larger or has a lot of glass.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe third port leaves some margin: a basement bedroom, an office fitted out during the work or a second head in the owner's apartment. Each combination is validated against the manufacturer's matching rules before it appears on your quote.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance is easy to share. The occupants of each apartment take out the \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e of their head and rinse them in warm water from time to time; it takes a few minutes. Once a year, our refrigeration technician cleans the outdoor coil and checks the drains, the connections and the \u003cstrong\u003eR-32\u003c\/strong\u003e charge. This refrigerant has a global warming potential of 675, versus 2,088 for R-410A according to ENERGY STAR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHydro-Québec has placed the AOUH24KWAH3 on its \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e list of October 27, 2026, with a grant of $1,944; we check your eligibility for the program when we prepare the quote. The compressor connects to a single circuit, and therefore to a single meter: plan with your tenant how the unit's electricity will be shared, a question that is better settled before the installation than after. Wi-Fi control is available as an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is meant for the owner-occupant of a duplex who wants to cool and heat both floors without two machines outside, and who uses the renovation to do things right. It also suits the intergenerational duplex, parents upstairs and children downstairs, or the house converted into two apartments. With heating guaranteed down to −26 °C, it is a system designed for Laval winters, not just for heat waves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFree quote in Laval, from Vimont to Auteuil, and across Greater Montreal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAirGreen installs this multi-zone system in Laval as well as in Montreal, Longueuil, on the North Shore and on the South Shore.

Thick brick walls, plaster on lath you do not want to tear open, original woodwork, high ceilings and, of course, no ducts. The \u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL AIRSTAGE Aquila XLTH 2-zone 36,000 BTU\u003c\/strong\u003e goes in without demolishing anything: one \u003cstrong\u003eAOUH36KWAH4 outdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e behind the house, two wall-mounted heads inside, and a compressor powerful enough to heat large volumes down to −26 °C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder this name, you are buying exactly the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE Aquila XLTH system with the AOUH36KWAH4 outdoor unit. Its manufacturer, formerly Fujitsu General Limited, has carried the name GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026, and the system kept its AHRI certificate 215735282, its certified values, its cold-climate designation and its warranty of 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour. The configuration on this page shows two 7,000 BTU heads; in an older house with large rooms, we often choose bigger heads with you, as we explain below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn Vieux-Longueuil and Greenfield Park, these houses are plentiful: a double living room on the ground floor, an open staircase, bedrooms upstairs, and heat that rises and stays at the top. Two large, well-placed zones, one downstairs and one upstairs, take care of most of the comfort without touching the finishes that give the house its charm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe name changed following a purchase: in August 2025, Fujitsu General Limited was acquired by Paloma Rheem Holdings, which has also owned Rheem since 1988, and the company has been called GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026. Its head office and R\u0026amp;D centre remain in Kawasaki, Japan, and production takes place in the same factories; the AIRSTAGE line keeps its model numbers and its warranty program. The GENERAL brand itself dates from 1946, while the company, founded in 1936, celebrates the 90th anniversary of its founding in 2026. Rheem Canada has sold these products in Canada since February 2026, and we still buy them from Groupe Master, our distributor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the Fujitsu brand is being withdrawn gradually, the same AOUH36KWAH4 may carry either name during the transition.

The figures and the compatible heads are the same there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBefore talking about heads and figures, here is what a hundred-year-old house demands of a heating system, and the answer we bring to it:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNo ducts\u003c\/strong\u003e: wall-mounted heads do not need any; each zone simply gets its refrigerant line, from the outside.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOriginal brick and plaster\u003c\/strong\u003e: a single opening per head, through the exterior wall, right behind the indoor unit. No interior wall is opened.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh ceilings and large rooms\u003c\/strong\u003e: each zone needs more capacity, hence a 36,000 BTU compressor for only two zones in the starting configuration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAir leaks\u003c\/strong\u003e: an old building envelope loses its heat faster, and capacity in deep cold becomes the first selection criterion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn that last point, the AOUH36KWAH4's figures are reassuring. According to NEEP (ashp.neep.org), AHRI certificate 215735282, it delivers \u003cstrong\u003e24,400 BTU\/h at −8 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e at certified rating, with a COP of 3.33, and can reach up to 38,000 BTU\/h at peak. At −15 °C, NEEP lists up to \u003cstrong\u003e36,400 BTU\/h\u003c\/strong\u003e, with a COP of 1.90. At −26 °C, its coldest certified point, it still produces 22,140 BTU\/h with a COP of 1.66. Heating is guaranteed down to \u003cstrong\u003e−26 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e, and a 150 W heater keeps the outdoor unit's base pan free of ice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTranslated for your house: a COP of 3.33 means that at −8 °C, every kilowatt-hour consumed becomes more than three kilowatt-hours of heat. At −26 °C, efficiency drops, but it stays above that of a baseboard or an electric furnace, which never go beyond one for one. In an older house, we still advise keeping the existing heating as backup: it will only be used on the nights when the house's demand exceeds what the two heads deliver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the full season, the \u003cstrong\u003eHSPF2 of 10.0\u003c\/strong\u003e measures average heating efficiency, from fall to spring; the \u003cstrong\u003eSEER2 of 22.0\u003c\/strong\u003e and the EER2 of 13.0 do the same for air conditioning. ENERGY STAR grants it both the cold-climate designation and the \u003cstrong\u003eENERGY STAR Most Efficient\u003c\/strong\u003e designation. As for modulation, the certified minimum capacity of 12,000 BTU\/h lets the Inverter compressor slow down on mild days rather than piling up stops and starts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn this page, the configuration provides two 7,000 BTU heads, which suits two rooms of ordinary size. In a century-old house, the two zones are rarely ordinary. The AOUH36KWAH4 accepts up to 4 zones and six compatible indoor units, which we choose with you:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH07KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 7,000 BTU, and \u003cstrong\u003eASUH09KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 9,000 BTU: a bedroom or an upstairs office;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH12KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 12,000 BTU, and \u003cstrong\u003eASUH15KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 15,000 BTU: the closed dining room or the landing that serves the bedrooms;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eASUH18KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 18,000 BTU, and \u003cstrong\u003eASUH24KPAS\u003c\/strong\u003e, 24,000 BTU: the high-ceilinged double living room, or the whole upper floor when the bedroom doors stay open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA useful clarification: a wall-mounted head heats the room it is in first. If the upstairs bedrooms stay closed at night, a single large head on the landing will not reach them all equally. That is the advantage of a compressor that accepts 4 zones: you start with two large zones, then add a head in a bedroom if your use of the house calls for it, without changing the outdoor unit. The manufacturer's matching rules act as a safeguard for every combination we propose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe installation respects the house. The \u003cstrong\u003eoutdoor unit\u003c\/strong\u003e, 37 inches wide and rated at 56.0 dB(A), goes at the back, on a ground pad raised above the snow or on a bracket, away from the drip of old roofs. In the historic sector of Vieux-Longueuil, municipal regulations may govern equipment visible from the street; we take this into account when choosing the location and tell you what to check with the City. From there, one \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e per head runs along the brick wall in a discreet line-set cover, then passes through the wall behind the head. The condensate drain follows the same path, by gravity; a small condensate pump takes over when the head has to go on an interior wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor maintenance, an older house has one particularity: dust from plaster and old floors can clog the \u003cstrong\u003eindoor filters\u003c\/strong\u003e faster. They come out without tools and rinse in warm water; check them more often during the first year. The refrigeration technician handles the rest during the annual visit, cleaning the outdoor coil and inspecting the drains, the connections and the \u003cstrong\u003eR-32\u003c\/strong\u003e refrigerant, whose global warming potential is 675, versus 2,088 for R-410A according to ENERGY STAR.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the \u003cstrong\u003eLogisVert\u003c\/strong\u003e list published by Hydro-Québec on October 27, 2026, the AOUH36KWAH4 is associated with a grant of $2,928. Our quote states whether your house meets the program rules. Wi-Fi is available as an option, handy for restarting the upstairs heating before you get home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis system is made for the owner who loves their older house just as it is and refuses to cut ducts into it, but who finally wants a cool upper floor in July and a warm living room in January. It suits the brick houses of Vieux-Longueuil, the older houses of Greenfield Park and any house without ducts where two large rooms carry most of family life. If you want one head per room from the start, we will begin with the same compressor and three or four zones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFree quote in Longueuil, from Vieux-Longueuil to Greenfield Park, and across Greater Montreal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur territory covers Longueuil, Montreal, Laval, the South Shore and the North Shore.
