A mini 115V split system designed for the electrical realities of Greater Montreal
In many condos, apartments or small businesses in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore , one problem constantly arises: how to add efficient air conditioning and auxiliary heating when the electrical panel no longer has room for new 240V circuits, or when the necessary work would be too heavy and costly?
The FUJITSU ALTAIR 300 Mini Split | 9,000 BTU 115V was developed specifically for this type of application. This single-zone wall-mounted heat pump operates on 115V , providing efficient air conditioning in the summer and reliable supplemental heating down to -15°C, without locking , making it perfectly suited to the climate of southern Quebec.
At AirGreen, we regularly recommend this model to homeowners who want to improve their comfort without altering their electrical infrastructure. It's an HVAC solution that combines accessibility, efficiency, quiet operation, and compactness , all while meeting the demands of our Quebec winters.
A 9,000 BTU mini split system perfectly sized for small spaces
The FUJITSU ALTAIR 300 's 9,000 BTU rated power is ideal for:
-
A condo or open-concept apartment of 350 to 600 sq ft , depending on insulation and sunlight.
-
A living room with dining area and open kitchen.
-
A small shop , a professional office, a service space.
-
A master bedroom or home workspace requiring a stable temperature and very low noise level.
During our site visits, we always perform a simplified thermal load calculation: room volume, window orientation, floor (ground floor, intermediate floor, top floor), insulation level, presence or absence of curtains, type of glazing, etc.
This allows us to assess whether the 9,000 BTU model offers sufficient capacity for your needs, or if another model in the Altair range would be more suitable. When we recommend the Altair 300, it's because we know it can provide consistent comfort throughout the season .
A 115V device that limits installation work and costs
One of the major advantages of the FUJITSU ALTAIR 300 9000 BTU Mini Split is its 115V power supply . In practical terms, this often allows for:
-
To reuse an existing circuit or to add a dedicated 115V circuit without major work.
-
To limit interventions in walls, ceilings or risers.
-
To retain a large part of the existing electrical infrastructure.
For each project, our teams:
-
Check the electrical panel (available amperage, location of circuit breakers, spare).
-
They confirm that adding a dedicated 115V circuit will comply with safety and standards.
-
They offer the most discreet cable routing possible (baseboards, moldings, exterior routes, etc.).
This approach allows for a competitive installation cost while respecting best practices and applicable electrical standards in Quebec.
Energy efficiency and comfort: much more than just numbers
Behind every technical specification lies a tangible experience for the occupants. The FUJITSU ALTAIR 300 Mini Split notably features:
-
SEER2 of 17.0 : a seasonal air conditioning efficiency that allows you to cool your home economically, even during heat waves.
-
HSPF2 of 9.0 (zone IV) : good efficiency as supplementary heating, particularly useful in spring and autumn.
-
EER2 of 10.55 : solid instantaneous efficiency during heat peaks.
-
COP can exceed 3 : for each kWh consumed, the device can deliver more than 3 kWh of heat under certain conditions.
In practice, this means:
-
A consistently pleasant temperature without having to juggle noisy or inefficient portable devices.
-
A controlled electricity bill , because the heat pump uses energy much better than traditional resistive heating devices.
-
Real comfort even when the outside temperature drops to -15°C , with stable operation as an auxiliary heater.
R-32 and sustainable design: a vision for the future
The FUJITSU ALTAIR 300 uses R-32 refrigerant , which has a lower environmental impact than many older refrigerants. This technical choice results in:
-
A reduction in global warming potential .
-
Improved energy efficiency for a given refrigerant charge.
-
A system already aligned with the environmental guidelines for the coming years.
The heat exchangers are designed to withstand the demanding conditions of southern Quebec: humidity, freeze-thaw cycles, pollution, and salinity in certain areas. This robustness is important for the facilities:
-
On a balcony, near a busy street.
-
On a rooftop terrace exposed to the winds.
-
In an interior courtyard where air circulation is restricted.
We systematically add appropriate protective elements (rigid supports, raised bases, snow guards, minimum clearance around the unit) in order to extend the life of the equipment.
Quiet operation: a major advantage for everyday comfort
In a condo or office, noise can quickly become a nuisance. The FUJITSU ALTAIR 300 9000 BTU 115V Mini Split stands out because of:
-
A very quiet indoor unit , capable of reaching approximately 20 dB(A) in low mode.
-
Quiet operation at all speeds, allowing you to sleep, work, attend an online meeting or watch television without being disturbed.
-
A low-noise outdoor unit, convenient for respecting neighbors in courtyards, on balconies and in narrow walkways.
We often recommend this model for:
-
Bedrooms where absolute silence is sought.
-
Home offices where video conferences are held one after another.
-
Professional practices (psychologists, consultants, massage therapists, etc.) where the atmosphere must remain calm and serene.
Compact and flexible installation: adapts to real-world constraints
The ALTAIR 300's indoor unit is compact: approximately 30 inches wide, shallow depth, and with a sleek design. This offers several installation options:
-
Above a patio door or a large window.
-
On a side wall, avoiding tall furniture.
-
In a corner of the room, while maintaining good air dispersion.
The compact outdoor unit can be installed:
-
On a back balcony , on a wall bracket or on the floor.
-
On a side wall , respecting the necessary clearances.
-
On a flat roof , with anti-vibration mounts and a raised base.
The permissible length of the refrigeration pipes and the vertical difference in elevation allow us to:
-
Overcoming architectural obstacles.
-
Comply with the condominium regulations regarding the appearance of the facades.
-
Minimize the visibility of the pipes using decorative covers.
INVERTER technology: stable comfort and optimized energy consumption
The INVERTER compressor constantly adjusts its speed according to the room's needs. Instead of operating on an on/off basis, the unit modulates its power:
-
When the room has reached the desired temperature, the compressor runs at low speed to maintain the set temperature.
-
During periods of high heat or upon returning to a warm home, it accelerates to quickly reach the target temperature.
-
Temperature variations are very limited , which significantly improves comfort.
The main benefits of this modulation:
-
Fewer on/off cycles = less mechanical wear.
-
Energy consumption smoothed over time.
-
More stable sound level , without sudden increases in noise.
Smart features and control options
The ALTAIR 300 offers several operating modes useful on a daily basis:
-
Auto mode : the device automatically adjusts the power to reach the programmed temperature.
-
Economy mode : ideal for limiting consumption when you are away for a few hours.
-
Powerful mode : useful when returning to a very hot or very cold room.
-
Automatic restart after a power outage, with resumption of previous settings.
With the optional Wi-Fi module and compatibility with various smart controllers, it becomes possible to:
-
Start or stop the device remotely.
-
Adjust the temperature before arriving at the condo.
-
Monitoring the comfort of vulnerable people (elderly parents, children) when not on site.
At AirGreen, we always clearly explain the use of these functions during commissioning, so that every customer can take full advantage of their new air conditioning and auxiliary heating system .
