A wall-mounted heat pump designed for the real comfort of Quebec homes

At AirGreen, we have been installing the FUJITSU ALTAIR 500 KPAS R-32 24,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump for several seasons in the greater Montreal area, including Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore . This series is part of the AIRSTAGE Altair 500 wall-mounted range, designed to provide consistent comfort year-round, excellent energy efficiency, and high reliability, even in unpredictable weather.

This 24,000 BTU unit is perfectly suited:

• to large open-plan spaces (living room, dining room, kitchen);

• to entire floors of single-family homes;

• to condo or multiplex type housing;

• to small and medium-sized businesses (offices, shops, clinics, hair salons, etc.).

The combination of heating, air conditioning, and humidity control ensures a pleasant indoor climate, both in summer and winter, with a much more stable feeling of comfort than older systems.

A system designed for everyday comfort, not just for numbers

On paper, the Fujitsu Altair 500 boasts impressive performance figures. But in practice, what truly makes a difference for our customers is the temperature stability and the feeling of comfort in the room.

Thanks to Inverter technology, the heat pump doesn't simply switch on and off: it continuously modulates its power to adapt to the actual need. The result:

• fewer temperature variations;

• fewer cold drafts;

• a softer and more homogeneous atmosphere throughout the entire service area.

In a typical open-concept Montreal home, our clients often tell us that they almost forget the unit is running , because the transition from one cycle to the other is so smooth.

Subsidies, energy efficiency and long-term savings

LogisVert subsidy: a welcome financial boost

For the 24,000 BTU capacity, the eligible Provincial Grant (LogisVert) for this heat pump is currently $1,776 (updated November 26, 2025 ), subject to compliance with program requirements.

This amount may:

• significantly reduce the net cost of the project;

• accelerate return on investment;

• encourage the replacement of older, often energy-intensive systems.

During our appraisal visits, we take the time to explain how:

• check your eligibility for subsidies;

• combine, where possible, several aids (according to the programs in force);

• plan the project to maximize the ratio between total cost and future savings.

Our clients particularly appreciate having a clear quote , including the heat pump, installation, accessories, as well as a realistic estimate of subsidies.

Energy efficiency and certifications

The Fujitsu Altair 500 24,000 BTU is ENERGY STAR certified , meaning it meets rigorous energy efficiency standards. For you, this means:

• optimized electricity consumption in both heating and air conditioning modes;

• more efficient operation than many older window systems, non-Inverter wall-mounted systems, or aging central units;

• a direct impact on reducing energy bills .

In replacement projects in Laval or Boucherville , when we remove an old R-410A unit or a window air conditioner, the difference is visible from the first season:

• more uniform temperature;

• reduced noise;

• reduced energy consumption, often in the range of 20 to 30% depending on the building configuration and usage.

R-32 refrigerant: a more responsible choice

The Altair 500 series uses R-32 refrigerant, which offers significant advantages over R-410A:

• lower global warming potential (GWP) ;

• reduced quantity of fluid required to achieve the same performance;

• better thermodynamic efficiency.

For environmentally conscious homeowners, this choice of refrigerant represents a step in the right direction: modernizing comfort while reducing the carbon footprint associated with the air conditioning and heating system.

Heating and cooling performance for the Quebec climate

Heating down to -15°C… and extended down to -20°C

The Fujitsu Altair 500 KPAS 24,000 BTU is designed to provide reliable heating down to -15°C . The Altair 500 series also features an operating mode that extends operation down to -20°C , making it ideal for winters in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore .

In practice:

• The heat pump provides most of the heating for the house during the vast majority of the winter;

• The backup system (baseboard heaters, furnace, etc.) is only used on very extreme days;

• Overall consumption over the season is often lower than with traditional 100% electric heating.

For a single-family homeowner in Laval , this can mean hundreds of dollars in savings per year while enjoying increased comfort.

Comfortable cooling, without aggressive drafts

With its 24,000 BTU capacity , the Fujitsu Altair 500 is capable of cooling:

• a large open area on the ground floor;

• several adjacent rooms if the air circulation is well thought out;

• commercial spaces (offices, small shops, waiting rooms, etc.).

The different available airflow rates allow for:

• to quickly cool the room during a heatwave;

• gradually reduce ventilation to stabilize the temperature;

• avoid the sensation of a direct draft, which is often uncomfortable.

A particularly welcome advantage in summer: the heat pump dehumidifies the air while cooling. This results in a more pleasant coolness than with a simple fan or portable solutions, because the humidity is controlled.

Silence, design and comfort of the indoor unit

Quiet operation, ideal for bedrooms and offices

The ASUH24KPAS wall unit is designed to be discreet both visually and acoustically . Depending on the selected fan speed, the noise level can drop to very low values, close to the ambiance of a quiet room.

In concrete terms:

• In night mode, the noise emitted is barely noticeable;

• For a home office, video calls and meetings can take place without being disrupted by ventilation;

• The unit blends easily into the decor without dominating the space.

Durable materials and easy maintenance

The design of the indoor unit emphasizes durability and maintenance :

• corrosion-resistant copper coils;

• surface treatment designed to improve resistance to moisture;

• Easy-to-open front panels for access to the filters.

At AirGreen, we emphasize to our customers the importance of regularly cleaning their filters . Simple maintenance, a few times a year, helps to:

• preserve energy efficiency;

• improve indoor air quality;

• extend the lifespan of the device.

During the start-up, our technicians take the time to show how to remove the filters and how often to clean them depending on the use of the house (presence of animals, dust, allergies, etc.).

Outdoor unit: robustness, installation flexibility and longevity

Compact, but very powerful

The AOUH24KPAS1 outdoor unit is compact, which greatly simplifies installation:

• on a rear balcony;

• in a narrow courtyard;

• on a wall mount or reinforced support.

Its size often allows it to meet clearance distances even in the narrow streets of Montreal. This avoids compromises on location and helps maintain optimal performance .

Long refrigerant lines for a custom installation

One of the key strengths of the Altair 500 series is its flexibility in refrigeration lines . Significant pipe lengths can be achieved, which allows for:

• to place the outdoor unit where it is least visually and acoustically disruptive;

• to overcome architectural constraints (balconies, courtyards, roofs, etc.);

• to better integrate the system into the overall aesthetics of the building.

For a duplex project in Montreal , for example, we installed the outdoor unit on a flat roof at the rear, while keeping the indoor unit well positioned in the heart of the living area.

Connectivity, Wi-Fi and home automation: a system ready for the smart home

Remote control via Wi-Fi

The Fujitsu Altair 500 can be equipped with an optional Wi-Fi module , allowing it to connect to the Airstage Mobile app. With this solution, you can:

• adjust the temperature remotely;

• plan operating schedules (stop at night, restart in the morning, etc.);

• Check the operating instructions before returning home.

This is particularly useful for:

• people who are regularly absent;

• rental or secondary properties;

• Shops that have specific opening hours.

Integration with home automation and building management systems

For more advanced projects, the Altair 500 series offers compatibility with communication interfaces enabling integration:

• in BACnet or Modbus systems;

• with existing home automation controllers;

• with centralized wall-mounted control panels.

In some commercial or multi-residential buildings, we have integrated several Altair units into a centralized management system , enabling:

• to monitor the condition of the devices;

• to program seasonal scenarios;

• to optimize the overall energy consumption of the building.

AirGreen installation process: rigor, transparency and compliance

On-site study and sizing

Before any installation, we conduct a free on-site visit to:

• analyze the surface area to be air-conditioned or heated;

• check the insulation, the windows, the orientation;

• estimate the required airflow rates;

• offer the appropriate capacity (24,000 BTU or combination with other units).

This step is crucial to avoid:

• an undersized unit that would run too fast constantly;

• an oversized unit that would multiply the start/stop cycles, reducing comfort and efficiency.

Installation compliant with Quebec standards

Our technicians, certified refrigeration specialists, adhere to:

• the RBQ standards;

• the rules of electricity (circuit breakers, wiring, grounding);

• good refrigeration practices (brazing, vacuuming, leak testing).

Each installation follows a specific protocol:

1. Choice of indoor and outdoor locations.

2. Installation of refrigeration lines and cabling.

3. Installation of the condensation drain and verification of the slopes.

4. Brazing, vacuum pulling, pressure test.

5. Start-up, temperature check, basic programming.

6. Explanations to the customer on usage, maintenance and advanced functions.

After-sales service and maintenance

After installation, we remain available:

• to answer the questions;

• for periodic maintenance;

• for managing service or warranty requests.

Our clients particularly appreciate the fact that they only pay at the end , when everything is compliant and functional. This approach is at the heart of how we work: trust, transparency, and satisfaction .
