Stable, clean and energy-efficient comfort for Quebec winters

At AirGreen, we install the FUJITSU ALTAIR 700 | KMAS R32 | 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump in homes, condos, and multiplexes in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, and on the North and South Shores . This model is a top recommendation: it effectively heats down to -15°C , provides highly efficient air conditioning in the summer, uses the more environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant, and qualifies for a $1,044 LogisVert provincial grant (updated November 26, 2025, subject to eligibility).

For many of the homeowners we work with, this heat pump represents a tangible change: better-controlled electricity bills, a more comfortable home, quiet operation, and the pleasant feeling of thoroughly modernizing their home's HVAC system.

We particularly recommend it to families who want a compact wall-mounted unit capable of efficiently covering a main living area — living room, dining room, kitchen — while also providing a good portion of the heating during the winter.

A wall-mounted heat pump designed for the climate of Greater Montreal

Reliable heating down to -15°C: a true ally for winter

The FUJITSU ALTAIR 700 is designed to maintain stable heating capacity down to -15°C . In practical terms, this translates to real comfort when it's very cold outside.

• The heat pump continues to provide heat instead of shutting off as soon as the temperature drops.

• It greatly reduces reliance on electric baseboard heaters and other supplementary heating systems.

• It helps to maintain a more consistent temperature between the different rooms of the home.

In a 1980s bungalow in Laval, we replaced an old wall-mounted system with the FUJITSU ALTAIR 700. Previously, the owners had to constantly adjust the baseboard thermostat to compensate for temperature fluctuations. During their first full winter with the heat pump, they noticed:

• A more stable temperature in the living room and the hallway leading to the bedrooms.

• Fewer cold spots near windows.

• A significant reduction in peak electricity consumption during periods of extreme cold.

This type of feedback is recurring among our customers in Montreal, South Shore and North Shore : the fact that the heat pump continues to work around -15°C really changes the perception of comfort in winter.

Efficient and pleasant air conditioning in summer

With a cooling capacity of 12,000 BTU , a SEER2 rating of 27.5 and an EER2 rating of 13.5 , this heat pump is clearly among the best in terms of efficiency in air conditioning mode.

For a condo or floor of approximately 900 to 1,200 sq ft with an open concept, typical of Rosemont, Villeray or Verdun, this means:

• A rapid increase in comfort during hot and humid days.

• Significantly lower power consumption than an older window air conditioner or an older generation wall unit.

• Fine power modulation thanks to Inverter technology, which avoids excessively abrupt temperature changes.

On a project in Brossard, a couple replaced an aging central air conditioner with a FUJITSU ALTAIR 700 wall-mounted heat pump for the main living area. After their first full summer, they told us:

• An overall decrease in their consumption related to cooling.

• A more uniform feeling of freshness in the upstairs rooms.

• Less noise and vibration than their old system.

A quiet operation that makes all the difference

Thermal comfort is inseparable from acoustic comfort. The FUJITSU ALTAIR 700 was designed to remain discreet in everyday use:

• Indoor unit: from 19 dB(A) at the lowest setting — this is a very low level, comparable to a library environment.

• Outdoor unit: around 50 dB(A) , close to a quiet conversation.

In a 4 ½ in Longueuil, located directly in the main living area, the client told us that she had to glance at the remote control to check if the device was on during milder days, as the noise level was so low.

For people working remotely, young parents or light sleepers, this discretion is a big plus: you can leave the wall-mounted heat pump running at night in heating or cooling mode without the noise becoming an irritant.

A compact size, ideal for condos and townhouses

The compact dimensions of the indoor unit (approximately 33 inches wide by just under 9 inches deep) allow the FUJITSU ALTAIR 700 to be integrated into many settings:

• Condos with few walls available in the open area.

• Narrow Montreal townhouses where every section of wall counts.

• Multiplex with lounges directly overlooking the front façade.

The outdoor unit, also compact, is easily installed on a patio, in a backyard, or on a wall bracket. With a possible piping length of up to 20 m , we can often choose a location that respects both the aesthetics of the house and neighborhood regulations.

For example, we completed an installation in a triplex in the Plateau neighborhood where the owners were adamant about avoiding placing the outdoor unit on the front facade. Thanks to the available piping length, we were able to position the compressor in the backyard, while installing the indoor unit in the front living room—the best compromise between performance, aesthetics, and quiet operation.

Performance, advanced technologies and guarantees: the winning trio

R-32: a more modern and responsible refrigerant

The FUJITSU ALTAIR 700 | KMAS R32 | 12,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump operates on R-32 , a refrigerant with a significantly reduced global warming potential compared to R-410A.

For homeowners, this means:

• A technology already aligned with stricter environmental standards.

• A lesser climate impact in the event of an accidental leak.

• A better prospect of sustainability in the medium and long term.

More and more customers on the South Shore and North Shore are specifically asking us for R-32 systems, as part of a comprehensive modernization of their HVAC system : replacing old air conditioners, and a gradual transition to more efficient equipment with less environmental impact.

ProCore™ and reinforced design: tangible durability

The internal coils of the Altair series utilize a high corrosion-resistant copper technology, often referred to in the industry as a ProCore™ approach. The goal: to protect the most sensitive part of the unit, where corrosion can directly impact performance and lifespan.

The advantages for you:

• Less risk of micro-leaks in the long term.

• Better performance in urban environments exposed to pollution or de-icing salts.

• Increased reliability in installations where the air may be more polluted (proximity to major roads, industrial areas, etc.).

We have a particularly telling example of an installation near a busy boulevard in Montreal: after a few years, the standard units installed on the same building already showed more advanced signs of corrosion, while the FUJITSU heat pump was clearly more resistant to these conditions.

Intelligent electronics for customized comfort

The FUJITSU ALTAIR 700 incorporates several advanced features that simplify everyday use:

• Inverter compressor : instead of constantly starting and stopping, the heat pump modulates its power. Result:

  • Fewer temperature fluctuations.

  • Less mechanical wear.

  • Optimized consumption, especially during long periods of operation in mid-season.

• Built-in Wi-Fi (or optional Wi-Fi module depending on the configuration) : The heat pump can be controlled remotely via a mobile app. This is particularly convenient for:

  • Pre-heat the house before returning home in winter.

  • Keep an eye on the indoor temperature during a prolonged absence.

  • Adjust the setpoint remotely during sudden changes in outside temperature.

• Home automation compatibility (BACnet/Modbus, depending on the system) : This feature allows the heat pump to be integrated into a smart home or a small building management system. This is of great interest to owners of rental properties or small businesses who want to combine heating, ventilation, lighting, and security within a single interface.

• External inputs/outputs : possibility of linking the heat pump to external contacts (e.g. a smart thermostat, a window contact or a fire alarm system).

In a complete renovation project of a cottage in Laval, we connected the FUJITSU ALTAIR 700 to the home's central management system. The owners can program specific scenarios: lowering the temperature during the night, automatically raising it upon waking, switching to eco mode when they leave the house, etc.

Understanding electrical data: MCA and MOP

The technical specifications include, among other things:

• MCA (Minimum circuit ampacity): 12 A

• MOP (Maximum Overcurrent Protection): 15 A

In practice:

• MCA 12 A means that the wiring and circuit breaker must be sized to safely support a current of at least 12 amps.

• MOP 15 A indicates that the maximum protection allowed by the manufacturer is 15 amps.

At AirGreen, we work in collaboration with master electricians when necessary to ensure that:

• The circuit breaker rating conforms to the manufacturer's recommendations.

• The wire cross-section is adapted to the distance and load.

• Your HVAC installation complies with the Quebec Electrical Code.

This electrical component is crucial to ensure the safety, reliability and compliance of your new wall-mounted heat pump .

Warranty: 12-12-0 years, with labor options at AirGreen

For this model, the standard warranty advertised is:

• 12 years on the compressor .

• 12 years on the parts .
