A Mini-VRF solution designed for the thermal realities of Quebec

The FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S Mini-VRF 24,000 BTU – 4 zones R-32 is designed for a specific segment of the HVAC market: buildings that require advanced thermal management without needing a heavy-duty commercial VRF system. At AirGreen, we position this type of system when a residential multi-zone system reaches its limits, but a traditional VRF would be oversized, expensive, or too complex to integrate.

In the context of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, the South Shore, and the Montérégie region , buildings are rarely homogeneous. Floors added over the years, rear extensions, basement conversions, ground-floor commercial spaces with apartments above: the thermal reality is fragmented. The J-7S Mini-VRF was specifically designed to address these complex configurations, offering independent zone control while maintaining high energy efficiency and remarkable stability in cold climates.

This system can power up to 4 active zones , with the possibility of reaching 5 zones depending on the configuration , while maintaining the hydraulic and electronic consistency typical of VRF architectures. This opens the door to customized projects, where each space receives precisely the power and control it needs, without compromise.

Reliable heating down to -26°C: a non-negotiable requirement

In Quebec, real-world heating capacity takes precedence over all other features. The FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S is designed to provide stable heating down to -26°C , without interruption or sudden drops in performance. This point is central to our analysis at AirGreen, because a system that only performs on paper doesn't meet the demands of a prolonged Montreal winter.

In several installations carried out in Laval and on the North Shore , we observed remarkable thermal consistency during periods of sustained cold. This stability relies on several often underestimated technical elements:

• a basic heating system integrated into the outdoor unit,

• Intelligent defrosting management , limiting the loss of comfort,

• refrigerant-cooled electronic components ensure increased reliability at low temperatures.

The result: the system continues to provide useful heat where other solutions switch too quickly to energy-intensive electric backups.

Air conditioning is controlled even during periods of intense heat.

While heating is a priority in Quebec, air conditioning should not be neglected. With a nominal cooling capacity of 24,000 BTU , the J-7S Mini-VRF is designed to operate efficiently even when outdoor temperatures reach high levels.

In projects completed in Montreal and the Montérégie region , particularly in buildings with high solar exposure or commercial use, this system has demonstrated an excellent ability to maintain stable temperatures without significant fluctuations between zones. Precise regulation by indoor unit prevents over-cooling of certain spaces, a common problem in traditional centralized systems.

R-32: a technical and strategic choice

The R-32 refrigerant is a key component of the AIRSTAGE J-7S Mini-VRF. This choice is not only based on environmental considerations, but also on a performance and sustainability approach.

At AirGreen, we often explain to our clients that R-32 allows for:

• improved energy efficiency at partial load

• a reduction in the total amount of refrigerant in the system ,

• better alignment with future regulatory requirements .

In multi-unit residential buildings in Longueuil and on the South Shore , this factor played a decisive role, particularly for owners wishing to invest in a sustainable HVAC system, compatible with current and future subsidy programs.

Installation flexibility adapted to existing buildings

One of the major advantages of the FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S 24,000 BTU lies in its installation flexibility . The outdoor unit is more compact and lighter than previous generations, making it easier to integrate into constrained urban environments.

At AirGreen, this feature allows us, in particular:

• installations under a window ,

• a discreet installation on a balcony or terrace ,

• easy integration into narrow backyards typical of Montreal .

The maximum pipe length , combined with a significant height difference , offers exceptional design freedom. This allows us to serve multiple floors, remote areas, or spaces that are not vertically aligned, without compromising the overall system performance.

True multi-zone comfort: each space has its own level of comfort

The J-7S Mini-VRF does more than simply divide power between multiple units. It enables intelligent management of each zone , with independent controls and precise modulation.

In a recent project in Longueuil , AirGreen implemented a configuration combining:

• a wall-mounted unit for a main dwelling

• a compact cassette in a common area

• two slim ducted units for rooms requiring discreet diffusion.

This approach solved a recurring problem: significant temperature differences between rooms. After installation, occupants noticed a marked improvement in thermal stability, along with a reduction in energy consumption.

Wide selection of indoor units: a key advantage

The FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S stands out due to the diversity of its compatible indoor units. This versatility is essential for adapting the system to the architectural reality of each building:

• wall-mounted for quick and efficient installation.

• compact cassettes for suspended ceilings,

• Slim ducted units for invisible integration

• Multi-position air handling units for more complex ductwork systems.

This variety allows AirGreen to design hybrid systems, where each zone benefits from the most appropriate solution, without imposing a single model on the entire building.

Optimized static pressure and air distribution

For ducted configurations, the improved static pressure capacity of the Mini-VRF J-7S is a key advantage. It allows for more compact ductwork, better suited to existing buildings where mechanical space is limited.

In several renovations carried out on the South Shore , this feature has made it possible to replace old, noisy and inefficient centralized systems with a modern Mini-VRF solution, offering more homogeneous air distribution and a reduced noise level.

Refrigerant safety: an often overlooked aspect

Refrigerant safety is a topic we systematically address at AirGreen, especially in multi-unit residential buildings. The Mini-VRF J-7S incorporates leak detection devices on certain configurations, with advanced options enabling:

• an audible and visual alert ,

• an automatic shut-off of the refrigerant circuit ,

• secure management even in the event of a power outage.

These elements become particularly important in continuously occupied environments, where prevention is always preferable to corrective intervention.

AirGreen field feedback: what experience has taught us

After numerous Mini-VRF installations in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil and the Montérégie region , certain observations consistently emerge:

• Precise zone sizing is essential to maximize efficiency.

• Rigorous piping planning simplifies future HVAC maintenance.

• The quality of the installation directly influences performance at very low temperatures.

These lessons guide each of our recommendations. At AirGreen, we always favor a methodical approach, based on the actual analysis of the building and not on generic solutions.
