A Central HVAC Solution Designed for Quebec's Harsh Winters
In the field of HVAC in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and on the North and South Shores, some installations clearly stand out when it comes to combining performance, reliability, and flexibility. The FUJITSU CENTAURI R32 3-ton (36,000 BTU) electric furnace is one of them.
At AirGreen, we have installed this model in several recent single-family homes and duplexes, particularly in Boucherville and Laval, where space constraints and the need for constant heating are critical. The result is consistently the same: stable temperature, quiet operation, and superior energy efficiency.
A Ducted Central Technology Adapted to Greater Montreal's Realities
Unlike wall-mounted systems, this unit relies on ducted technology (air handler) allowing for uniform air distribution throughout the home via ducts. This makes it an ideal solution for:
- New constructions
- Major renovations
- Homes already equipped with ducts
- Owners seeking consistent comfort in all rooms
Multi-position Configuration: A Concrete Advantage in Installation
One of the major strengths of this unit is its multi-position configuration:
- Vertical airflow (up or down)
- Horizontal left or right installation
- Adaptability to basements, technical closets, or attics
In a recent installation in Longueuil, our team had to contend with very limited mechanical space. Thanks to this flexibility, we were able to integrate the unit without major structural modifications, saving the client several thousand dollars in additional work.
Exceptional Heating Performance Down to -21°C
Quebec's climate imposes high demands. This FUJITSU CENTAURI R32 furnace is specifically designed to deliver reliable performance even in extreme conditions.
- Operates efficiently down to -21°C
- No automatic shutdown in extreme cold conditions
- Optimized heating capacity with Inverter technology
Key Technical Data
- Cooling capacity: 36,000 BTU
- Heating power at -15°C: 32,000 BTU
- COP at -8°C: 12.183
- SEER2: 17.6
- HSPF2: 9.8
- ENERGY STAR (cold climate): Yes
These performances concretely translate into a significant reduction in energy costs, especially in regions like Montérégie or the North Shore where winters are particularly long.
R-32 Refrigerant: A Strategic and Ecological Choice
The R-32 technology used in this system offers a real advantage:
- Approximately 68% reduction in Global Warming Potential (GWP)
- Less refrigerant needed for superior performance
- Better thermal efficiency
For homeowners in Montreal or Laval concerned about their environmental impact, this choice fits perfectly into a responsible approach.
Quiet Comfort and Smart Control
Impressive Sound Level
- Indoor: as low as 31 dB(A)
- Outdoor: approximately 56 dB(A)
In an installation carried out in Rosemont, the client specifically mentioned that they could barely hear the system operating, even during intensive heating cycles.
Connectivity and Automation
This unit offers several advanced options:
- Optional WiFi
- Compatibility with 24V thermostats
- Possible integration with home automation systems (BACnet, Modbus)
- Remote monitoring via app
For commercial or multi-unit buildings in Montreal, this integration capability is particularly sought after.
HVAC Installation: What Clients Absolutely Need to Know
Dimensions and Technical Constraints
- Indoor dimensions: 21 x 21 x 48 inches
- Outdoor dimensions: 31 x 12.63 x 37 inches
- Piping: 3/8 – 5/8
- Voltage: 220V
- MCA: 25A
Common Errors We Correct On-Site
Over the years, we have observed several common errors during central system installation:
- Poor airflow management (CFM)
- Insufficient duct insulation
- Inadequate indoor unit positioning
- Undersizing the system
In a project in Laval, a client had initially received a competing quote with an undersized system. After recalculating the thermal loads, we recommended this FUJITSU CENTAURI 3-ton unit, which eliminated short cycling and improved overall comfort.
Dehumidification and Air Quality
With a capacity of 3.82 pints/hour, this system actively contributes to:
- Reducing excessive humidity
- Improving indoor air quality
- Preventing mold formation
In typical Montreal and Longueuil basements, this advantage is particularly important.
Auxiliary Heating Options and Flexibility
The CENTAURI series offers several auxiliary heating options (2kW to 16kW), allowing the system to be adapted according to:
- Building size
- Insulation
- Specific client needs
This modularity is a key element that we leverage at AirGreen to optimize each installation.
