Here we will discuss all the main features, while sharing our expertise and field feedback from our numerous HVAC installation and maintenance projects in the greater metropolitan area.

Why choose a 2-zone heat pump?

The concept of multi-zone heat pumps is enjoying growing popularity, particularly in regions with varied climates like Quebec. In the specific case of the FUJITSU Aquila XLTH R32 2-Zone heat pump , two indoor units can be connected to a single outdoor unit. This allows for independent temperature adjustment in different areas, which is extremely practical when looking for a heating and cooling configuration perfectly suited to separate zones of a home or business. Here are some reasons for adopting a dual-zone system:

• Energy Savings : Each indoor unit can be adjusted to the correct temperature for the room, preventing overheating or overcooling of unused spaces.

• Personalized comfort : Some occupants prefer a warmer environment, others a cooler one. With two zones, a variety of preferences can be accommodated simultaneously.

• Reduced footprint : Instead of installing two complete systems, a single outdoor unit supports up to two indoor heads, simplifying the space required for equipment.

• Less noise and more harmony : FUJITSU indoor units, whether wall-mounted, cassette-mounted or concealed ducted, operate smoothly to ensure appreciable acoustic comfort.

AirGreen has often found, in the context of its projects carried out in Montreal and on the North Shore , that investing in a dual-zone system pays off in the long term, both financially and in terms of comfort.

Technical zoom: the FUJITSU Aquila XLTH R32 18,000 BTU

To fully understand the FUJITSU Aquila XLTH R32 2-Zone heat pump , it is useful to recall some technical elements that differentiate it from the competition:

1. R-32 gas
   One of the key aspects of this model is the use of R-32 refrigerant gas, which is known to have a reduced environmental impact compared to older refrigerants. In addition, R-32 contributes to better energy efficiency, allowing the owner to save on their monthly heating and cooling bill.

2. Extended operating range
   The FUJITSU Aquila XLTH R32 provides reliable heating down to -26°C , which more than meets the needs of our Quebec winters. On the cooling side, the unit is designed to operate up to 122°F (approximately 50°C) , suitable for summer heat waves. At AirGreen, we have already installed this system for customers in Laval and on the South Shore and have noted great satisfaction with its robustness in the face of extreme temperatures.

3. Energy efficiency (SEER2 and HSPF2)

   • SEER2 of 22.0: Evidence of excellent performance in air conditioning mode.

   • HSPF2 of 11.0: Indicator of remarkable efficiency in heating mode, particularly important in Quebec.

   This superior performance translates into reduced energy costs, a key consideration for any homeowner looking to optimize their heating and cooling expenses.

4. Noise level and reliability
   The outdoor unit's sound pressure level is around 49 dB(A) in nominal mode. During our follow-up visits to homeowners, many noted the FUJITSU Aquila XLTH R32's quieter performance compared to other heat pumps, a significant advantage for maintaining neighborhood peace and quiet. Its robust design includes a Blue Fin-coated heat exchanger, improving corrosion resistance, an important criterion in our winter conditions.

5. INVERTER technology
   The variable-speed inverter compressor allows you to precisely adjust the unit's power according to the energy demand of each zone. This not only contributes to comfort, but also to the compressor's durability by avoiding frequent starts and stops.

6. Capacity: 18,000 BTU
   This heat pump is designed to efficiently cover medium-sized areas. Thanks to the multiple indoor head configurations (7+7, 7+9, 9+9, 9+12, 12+12, etc.), it is possible to adapt the power of each indoor module to optimize heating and cooling in different areas of the house.

A design thought out for our facilities in Quebec

AirGreen pays special attention to the design and integration of each new HVAC system. For the FUJITSU Aquila XLTH R32 2-Zone heat pump , we take care of:

• Carefully assess the structure of the building : Ceiling height, glass surfaces, orientation and insulation.

• Adapt the power : We recommend the ideal configuration (7+7, 7+12, etc.) depending on the specific thermal constraints.

• Ensure that there is enough space outside to install the unit without obstructing traffic, while respecting the margins imposed by municipal regulations.

In our showroom in Boucherville on the South Shore , our specialists present the various possible scenarios. We then conduct an on-site visit to validate the locations, both for the outdoor unit and the indoor units. Our refrigeration engineers have extensive installation experience and are familiar with common challenges, such as difficult access to certain balconies in Montreal or sloping roofs in Laval .

Case study: an installation project in Longueuil

Recently, one of our clients in Longueuil wanted to heat and cool two distinct areas: an open-concept ground floor and a basement converted into an office space. We opted for the FUJITSU Aquila XLTH R32 | 18,000 BTU 2-Zone heat pump , with two wall-mounted heads of 9,000 BTU and 9,000 BTU respectively.

• Project progress :

  1. Initial assessment: Identification of comfort and temperature control needs.

  2. Choice of configuration: Selection of the appropriate dual zone (9+9) to provide the desired flexibility.

  3. HVAC Installation: Installation of the outdoor unit in the backyard, ensuring clearances are respected. Installation of two wall-mounted units, one in the living room and the other in the basement office.

  4. Commissioning: Calibration and verification of the device, testing of potential connectivity to the Wi-Fi module (optional).

• Result :
  The client now benefits from separate temperature control for the upstairs and downstairs areas. Electricity bills have decreased by approximately 15% compared to the previous conventional electric heating system, and he enjoys greater comfort year-round.

This example clearly illustrates the advantage of a multi-zone configuration for homes with varying needs from one floor to another.

Maintenance and durability

As with other HVAC systems, regular HVAC maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity of your heat pump. We recommend:

1. Cleaning or replacing filters : Indoor unit filters should be checked and cleaned approximately every three months, or more frequently if the home is prone to high dust levels.

2. Annual Inspection : Our AirGreen teams offer an annual inspection and maintenance service, to check the R-32 refrigerant charge, the good condition of the heat exchanger and electronic components.

3. Condensate Drain Check : It is imperative to ensure that the drain is not clogged, which could cause water leaks or excessive moisture.

4. Abnormal noise monitoring : Although the FUJITSU Aquila XLTH R32 is known for its low noise level, any unusual noise should be reported promptly to our team.

Our experience at AirGreen has proven that these preventive checks significantly extend the life of your equipment and reduce the risk of costly breakdowns. We also offer fast and courteous after-sales service throughout the Montreal , Laval and beyond regions.

Warranty and additional options

The FUJITSU Aquila XLTH R32 | 18,000 BTU 2-Zone Heat Pump comes with a 10-year compressor warranty and a 10-year parts warranty , while labor comes with a 0-year warranty by default. However, AirGreen offers an optional 10-10-10 warranty , allowing the customer to benefit from full coverage for 10 years, including labor.

This provides significant peace of mind, especially in a climate like ours. Furthermore, using certified and experienced refrigeration technicians for the installation is a key condition for maintaining the warranty validity, in addition to avoiding any future operational issues.

Grants and funding

The Quebec government offers various grant programs to encourage the adoption of energy-efficient solutions. Currently, the Provincial Grant (LogisVert) offers financial assistance of up to $1,776 (updated: May 1, 2025) for the purchase and installation of eligible heat pumps, including this FUJITSU Aquila XLTH R32 2-Zone heat pump model.

At AirGreen, we advise our clients on the steps they should take to maximize their chances of receiving these grants. We also offer flexible financing solutions:

• Monthly payments spread over several years.

• No deposit before the end of the work.

• Competitive rates in partnership with reputable financial institutions.
