An HVAC solution designed for the real complexity of Quebec buildings

In the real estate context of Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , the North Shore and the South Shore , HVAC projects rarely present ideal conditions. Limited mechanical spaces, existing buildings with complex ductwork, multiple uses under one roof, high comfort requirements and increasingly strict energy constraints: it is precisely in this environment that the FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S Mini-VRF R32 | 36000 BTU – 8 heads makes perfect sense.

At AirGreen, we deploy this system when traditional wall-mounted heat pumps reach their technical limits and full-size commercial VRF systems would be oversized, too expensive, or unnecessarily complex. The J-7S Mini-VRF offers an extremely effective middle ground: a true 36,000 BTU output, advanced modularity, and precise zone control, without sacrificing the winter reliability essential to Quebec's climate.

The Mini-VRF concept intelligently applied to the field

A Mini-VRF system is based on a clear philosophy: centralizing heat production while multiplying independent distribution points. A single outdoor unit supplies up to 8 distinct zones , each with its own indoor unit and control.

In practice, this translates into very concrete advantages:

• fine-tuning to the actual needs of each space, even within the same building;

• reduction of temperature differences between zones;

• reduction of start and stop cycles, which stabilizes operation and extends the life of the compressor;

• better management of partial charges, which are common in multi-residential and commercial buildings.

During an AirGreen project in Boucherville , a building combining professional offices, common areas, and apartments was fully serviced by a single J-7S Mini-VRF , whereas the initial configuration called for three independent systems. The result: simplified installation, reduced maintenance costs, and much more consistent control for the property manager.

Proven heating performance in severe winter conditions

In Quebec, an HVAC system cannot be considered reliable without stable heating performance at very low temperatures. The FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S is designed to provide heating down to -26°C without forced system shutdown, an essential criterion for buildings located on the North Shore , in the Montérégie region , or in areas exposed to strong winds.

In real-world conditions, the performance observed by our teams confirms the advertised robustness:

• approximately 26,200 BTU at -8 °C ,

• up to 36,400 BTU at -15°C ,

This consistency helps to avoid excessive use of supplementary electric systems, which are often responsible for significant increases in electricity bills during the winter.

Energy efficiency and control of operating costs

High seasonal efficiency indicators translate directly into better-controlled consumption. For building owners and managers in Montreal and Laval , this means:

• lower peak electricity demand;

• improved budget predictability;

• facilitated eligibility for available grant programs.

In several multi-unit residential buildings where we have replaced old electric resistance systems or poorly balanced multi-splits, customer feedback confirms a significant reduction in operating costs, without compromising on comfort.

A crucial installation flexibility in urban environments

The J-7S outdoor unit was designed to fit into constrained environments. Its compact size and light weight facilitate installation:

• on a technical balcony,

• under a window,

• in a narrow backyard,

• or in the immediate vicinity of a party wall, when clearances are limited.

This flexibility is particularly appreciated in central Montreal neighborhoods, where space available for mechanical equipment is often very limited.

Extensive pipe lengths and significant elevation changes

The system's ability to support long piping runs and significant height differences offers valuable flexibility during renovation projects. In duplexes, heritage buildings, or multi-story buildings, this feature allows for efficient service of remote areas without compromising overall performance.

Increased static pressure and controlled air distribution

For ducted systems, increased static pressure allows for more even air distribution, even with complex or extensive ductwork. At AirGreen, we pay particular attention to this aspect, as poor pressure management is one of the most frequent causes of discomfort and complaints after installation.

Extensive compatibility with various types of indoor units

The FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S allows for the creation of truly customized systems thanks to a wide range of compatible indoor units:

• wall units for individual homes or offices;

• compact cassettes for suspended ceilings;

• slim ducted units for discreet integration;

• Multi-position air handling units for larger volumes.

In several AirGreen projects on the South Shore , we combine different types of units within the same system in order to optimize aesthetics, performance and acoustic comfort.

R-32 refrigerant: a coherent and responsible technical choice

The use of R-32 is driven by a dual rationale: performance and environmental responsibility. This refrigerant allows for greater energy efficiency while reducing the total charge required for system operation.

In practice, this translates to:

• a faster response to variations in thermal load;

• increased efficiency at partial load;

• simpler integration into projects subject to strict safety standards, particularly in multi-dwelling projects.

Management, control and security: systems designed for managers

The J-7S Mini-VRF can be configured with different levels of control:

• individual controls for each zone;

• centralized management for buildings;

• connectivity options according to customer needs.

Safety is also a key element. Ducted systems can incorporate leak detection sensors , and additional options allow for the addition of visual and audible alarms or automatic refrigerant shut-off devices. For building owners and managers, these features represent an extra layer of protection and valuable peace of mind.

Common mistakes that our approach helps to avoid

Our field experience has taught us that the performance of a Mini-VRF depends as much on the design as on the equipment itself. Among the errors we regularly correct when taking over projects are:

• undersizing of zones due to lack of thermal analysis;

• poor distribution of indoor units;

• non-optimized piping routes;

• lack of a clear strategy for condensate management.

Each AirGreen project begins with a detailed analysis of the building's actual needs, in order to fully exploit the long-term potential of the FUJITSU AIRSTAGE J-7S .

Why entrust a Mini-VRF to AirGreen

Installing a Mini-VRF system requires advanced HVAC installation expertise. At AirGreen, we combine:

• solid experience in residential, commercial and multi-unit housing projects;

• qualified refrigeration technicians experienced with multi-zone systems;

• a rigorous approach, with detailed quotes and precise planning before work begins.

Our installations in Montreal , Laval , Longueuil , on the North Shore and the South Shore demonstrate that a well-designed system not only reduces energy consumption, but also long-term service interventions.
