Subsidies and guarantees: a structured solution for your budget

LogisVert Provincial Subsidy – Updated November 26, 2025

The FUJITSU ALTAIR 500 36,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump is eligible for the provincial LogisVert – Chauffez vert program, with a subsidy amount of $2,688 (updated November 26, 2025 ).

In practical terms, this means:

  • a significant portion of your project funded by the government;

  • a reduced net cost for a high-end system;

  • a better return on investment from the first years of use.

During our site visit, we:

  • Let's analyze your existing heating system and the building's insulation;

  • let's verify the eligibility of your HVAC installation and the planned work;

  • We size the heat pump according to the surface area, orientation and use of the rooms;

  • Let's prepare a detailed submission where the $2,688 LogisVert grant is clearly shown, so you can plan your budget without any unpleasant surprises.

We also assist our clients with documentation : photos, detailed invoice, model number, AHRI number, contractor number, everything necessary for a complete and compliant file.

New 12-12-0 warranty structure: long-term protection

On this FUJITSU ALTAIR 500 model, the AirGreen product sheet now includes a structured warranty of:

  • 12 years on the compressor ;

  • 12 years on the parts ;

  • 0 year on labor as standard, with the option to choose an additional warranty covering labor.

In practice:

  • the most expensive components (compressor, electronic boards, fan motor, etc.) are protected for a longer period than many competing devices;

  • You limit the risk of major unforeseen expenses as long as the device is installed and maintained correctly;

  • With AirGreen, you can add a labor warranty extension and a periodic maintenance plan to lock in your HVAC budget for a long period.

We particularly recommend this type of guarantee structure for:

  • owner-occupiers who plan to stay in their home long-term;

  • investors who own a rental property and wish to stabilize maintenance costs;

  • local businesses that want to avoid periods of forced closure due to a heating or air conditioning breakdown.

Energy efficiency: solid figures for intensive use

Air conditioning capacity and efficiency

The FUJITSU ALTAIR 500 KPAS 36,000 BTU is designed to provide stable air conditioning even during heat waves. Its features:

  • Nominal air conditioning capacity: 33,000 BTU ;

  • Inverter modulated operating range: approximately 9,900 to 34,100 BTU ;

  • SEER2 of 21.0 : a very high value, indicating excellent seasonal efficiency in air conditioning mode;

  • EER2 of 9.75 : appreciable instant efficiency for the hottest days.

In other words, the Inverter compressor continuously adjusts its power according to actual needs. Instead of constantly starting and stopping like an older appliance, it modulates its speed to:

  • reduce peak consumption;

  • limit mechanical wear;

  • maintain a more stable indoor temperature;

  • to reduce the sensation of drafts and sudden changes.

High-performance heating for the Quebec climate

In heating mode, the Altair 500 stands out because:

  • a nominal capacity of 34,000 BTU ;

  • an operating range of approximately 9,200 to 36,800 BTU ;

  • an HSPF2 Region V indicative of a model adapted to cold climates;

  • stable operation in standard mode down to -15°C , with a special function to maintain heating down to approximately -20°C for high-power models such as the 36,000 BTU version.

For a homeowner in Longueuil or Laval, this means that a large part of the heating season can be provided by the heat pump, with reduced use of backup systems.

R-32 refrigerant: energy efficiency and environmental responsibility

The FUJITSU ALTAIR 500 uses R-32 refrigerant , now preferred in new high-performance HVAC systems. This refrigerant is:

  • more eco-friendly than R-410A used in many older systems;

  • more efficient at transferring heat;

  • used in smaller quantities for the same heating or cooling capacity.

By opting for an R-32 HVAC system , you:

  • reduce the environmental footprint associated with your heating and air conditioning system;

  • invest in technology that is already aligned with future environmental standards;

  • Prepare your building for a sustainable energy transition, without having to prematurely replace your equipment.

Indoor unit: comfort, silence and discreet integration

Compact design and high-durability heat exchanger

The FUJITSU ALTAIR 500 wall-mounted indoor unit was designed to easily integrate into different décor styles: period homes in Montreal, contemporary condos in Griffintown, 1970s bungalows on the North Shore, etc.

It is distinguished in particular by:

  • a compact format allowing installation above a door, a bookcase or on a more open wall;

  • a copper heat exchanger with specialized treatment, improving corrosion resistance and the lifespan of the device;

  • a well-designed condensate drainage system , reducing the risk of overflow or odors related to stagnant moisture;

  • easy access to filters and components for HVAC maintenance .

Truly silent operation

In practice, what customers appreciate most is the very low internal noise level of the Altair 500. Depending on the fan speed, the perceived noise can be comparable to simple background noise in a library.

For a living room, bedroom or home office, this offers several advantages:

  • no constant buzzing that becomes tiring after a few hours;

  • no sudden variation in noise during speed changes;

  • improved sleep quality or concentration, even when the device is running all night.

User-friendly controls and modes adapted to everyday life

The backlit remote control allows for easy operation of:

  • the desired temperature;

  • the ventilation speed;

  • the vertical orientation of the airflow;

  • specific modes (Eco, Comfort, Dehumidification, etc.);

  • the timer (delayed start or stop).

In several installations in Montreal and on the South Shore, we have made it a habit, during commissioning, to spend a few minutes with the client to show them:

  • how to adjust the direction of the air to avoid blowing directly onto a bed or sofa;

  • which modes to favor at night or during the day;

  • how to use the automatic restart function after a power outage;

  • how to read the simple messages that may appear when maintenance is needed.

Outdoor unit: robustness, flexibility and noise management

Designed for harsh winters

The outdoor unit of the FUJITSU ALTAIR 500 is built to withstand repeated freeze/thaw cycles and the sometimes harsh conditions of Quebec:

  • solid and well-protected casing;

  • heat exchanger specially designed to limit frost accumulation;

  • automatic defrosting mode which only activates when necessary, in order to preserve heating capacity;

  • electrical components protected against moisture and intrusion.

In the narrow courtyards typical of certain Montreal neighborhoods or in the often snow-covered side alleys of Laval, this robustness is essential.

Pipe lengths and installation flexibility

With the ability to reach up to 50 m of piping and a vertical drop of up to 30 m , the FUJITSU ALTAIR 500 allows for great design freedom:

  • installation of the outdoor unit in the backyard, even if the indoor unit is in the front;

  • installation on a flat roof for a commercial or residential building;

  • bypassing architectural obstacles (stairs, balconies, hedges, etc.).

This flexibility prevents customers from ending up with a unit installed in an unsightly or impractical location. At AirGreen, we always take the following into account:

  • the aesthetics of the building;

  • risks of noise for the neighborhood;

  • accessibility for future maintenance or repair work;

  • the ease of snow removal in winter.

Outdoor noise level management

The low-noise mode of the outdoor unit further reduces the noise level on the front or courtyard side, which is particularly useful:

  • when the heat pump is close to a bedroom;

  • in dense residential areas;

  • to avoid complaints from neighbors in large housing complexes.

We often adjust this mode during commissioning to adapt it to the reality of each client.

Advanced controls, Wi-Fi and home automation integration

For homeowners who want more advanced management of their HVAC system , the FUJITSU ALTAIR 500 offers:

  • an optional Wi-Fi module allowing the heat pump to be controlled with a mobile application;

  • BACnet and Modbus interfaces for integration into a building management system;

  • interfaces for 24V thermostat and dry contact relay, to connect the device to a central thermostat or home automation system.

In a rental building in Laval, for example, this type of integration allows the manager to:

  • to quickly monitor the overall operation of the units;

  • to detect certain anomalies;

  • to optimize temperature settings according to occupancy.

In a primary residence in Longueuil, Wi-Fi integration allows a homeowner to:

  • to adjust the temperature before returning from a trip;

  • to check that the heating remains active in case of extreme cold;

  • to more easily visualize consumer behavior.
