FUJITSU ORION XLTH Wall-Mounted Heat Pump | KZAH R-32 | 24,000 BTU | Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, South Shore & North Shore

The premium choice for consistent comfort, even in the harshest Quebec winters.

In Greater Montreal, a heating and air conditioning system is not just an accessory: it's a central element of a building's comfort and value. A poor choice can increase bills, create cold spots, and reduce the equipment's lifespan. Conversely, a well-chosen and properly installed system becomes a profitable long-term investment.

With the FUJITSU ORION XLTH | KZAH R-32 | 24,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump , we offer a solution specifically adapted to the climatic realities of Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore . At AirGreen, we have been installing this heat pump for several seasons in houses, condos, duplexes, and small businesses, and we have observed its performance in all situations: extreme cold, heat waves, humid periods, and in both well-insulated newer buildings and older buildings with specific structural features.

A wall-mounted heat pump designed for real Quebec winters

The Orion XLTH series has been developed to provide reliable heating down to -26°C . This means the unit is designed to continue providing heat even when the temperature drops to levels where many conventional systems reach their limits.

In practice, this offers several advantages:

• Thermal stability : the main rooms remain at a regular temperature, even during nights of intense cold.

• Reduced reliance on backup systems : the use of electric baseboard heaters or other heating sources is greatly reduced.

• Constant comfort in open areas : for large spaces such as living rooms with open-plan kitchen and dining room, consistent heating is particularly appreciated.

We often see this model used for:

• single-family homes with a large living area on the ground floor;

• duplex apartments where the owner wants to optimize comfort while making the apartment attractive to tenants;

• Professional offices or small businesses that require stable heating without the need for a complex central heating system installation.

Four-season comfort: heating, cooling, and dehumidifying

A modern wall-mounted heat pump does more than just produce heat. The FUJITSU ORION XLTH 24,000 BTU performs three essential functions:

• Heating in winter : even in very cold weather, it maintains a gentle and even heat.

• Air conditioning in summer : it quickly cools rooms, useful during increasingly frequent heat waves.

• Dehumidification during the off-season : in spring and autumn, it can reduce humidity without requiring excessive air cooling.

Thanks to Inverter technology , the unit continuously adjusts its power to actual needs. When it's very cold or very hot, it can operate at full capacity to quickly reach the set temperature. Once the temperature is stabilized, it slows down and maintains comfort while consuming significantly less energy.

R-32: a modern, efficient and more environmentally friendly refrigerant

This wall-mounted heat pump uses R-32 refrigerant , which is now the new standard in many residential systems. Compared to the widely used R-410A, R-32 is more efficient and has a significantly lower global warming potential .

For homeowners, this translates to:

• up-to-date technology , in line with new environmental guidelines;

• a better optimized system , with a quantity of refrigerant calculated to offer maximum efficiency;

• a solution that fits into a comprehensive energy renovation approach (insulation, windows, electronic thermostats, etc.).

Combined with SEER2 values ​​of 24.0 and HSPF2 of 11.4 , this refrigerant allows the FUJITSU ORION XLTH to be among the most efficient models in the category of wall-mounted heat pumps intended for the residential market.

Energy efficiency: long-term savings

A point that often comes up in discussions with our clients is the cost-effectiveness of a heat pump. The ORION XLTH 24,000 BTU is designed for long-term operation with excellent efficiency, which allows you to:

• reduce heating costs by replacing a significant portion of the energy consumption with electric baseboard heaters;

• lower your summer bill thanks to air conditioning that is much more economical than old portable or wall-mounted air conditioners;

• limit peak electricity consumption by using power modulation of Inverter technology.

In several projects, we have found that, when properly sized and correctly installed, this heat pump allows for significant savings over 12 months , particularly in homes that previously used only direct electric heating.

Silent operation: a comfort that can be heard… by its absence

Acoustic comfort is often underestimated when choosing an HVAC system. Yet, it's one of the elements that will make a difference on a daily basis, especially in:

• the lounges and open areas where we spend most of our time;

• home offices , very common in Montreal, Laval and Longueuil;

• condos where neighbors are sometimes only a few meters from outdoor appliances.

The indoor unit of the FUJITSU ORION XLTH can operate at an extremely low noise level, starting at approximately 30 dB(A) in silent mode – comparable to a very quiet environment. The fan is adjusted to limit direct airflow, making it comfortable to use even in the evening while watching television.

The outdoor unit also has a noise reduction mode, which is very popular in narrow alleyways, Montreal backyards or shared balconies.

Reinforced components and protections for a long service life

In addition to the Inverter compressor, the FUJITSU ORION XLTH incorporates several features designed for the Quebec climate:

• a heating base integrated into the outdoor unit, which limits the accumulation of ice under the unit and improves drainage during defrosting;

• copper coils protected by an anti-corrosion treatment, useful in more polluted urban areas or near road axes;

• an outdoor heat exchanger optimized to withstand rapid temperature variations and episodes of freezing rain.

In real-world conditions, this translates to fewer corrosion-related problems, fewer ice blockages, and improved reliability over several years.

Wi-Fi connectivity and home automation compatibility

The FUJITSU ORION XLTH heat pump comes equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity right out of the box. This allows for remote control via a mobile app:

• change of instructions before returning home;

• adjustment of modes (heating, air conditioning, dehumidification, ventilation);

• simple management of schedules, for example to slightly reduce the temperature during the night or during the day when the accommodation is unoccupied.

For more complex buildings, the device can also be integrated into centralized management systems thanks to interfaces compatible with the main protocols used in home automation and building management. This is a significant advantage for apartment buildings , offices , or small businesses that want to centralize energy management.

Installation flexibility: house, condo, duplex or cottage

The design of the FUJITSU ORION XLTH offers great installation flexibility, both for the indoor wall unit and for the outdoor unit .

• 3/8 – 5/8 refrigeration piping allows for covering significant distances without compromising performance.

• The maximum permissible length and the tolerated height difference between the indoor and outdoor units give AirGreen refrigeration technicians a great deal of latitude in finding the ideal configuration.

• The compact outdoor unit integrates well into urban or suburban settings, on terraces, balconies, wall mounts or on the ground.

For example, we have:

• installed this model in a condo in Plateau-Mont-Royal , where the outdoor unit had to be positioned on a small balcony while respecting the requirements of the syndicate;

• carried out an installation in a chalet on the North Shore , with a sloping site, optimizing the piping route to maintain maximum heating performance;

• configured the device for a duplex in Villeray , with the indoor unit on the ground floor and the outdoor unit in the backyard, where available space was very limited.

In each case, our team adjusted the pipe routing, condensate management and clearances to meet standards and achieve the best possible performance.

Concrete examples of installations carried out by AirGreen

Single-family home in Longueuil
A family owned an open-concept house with a living room, kitchen, and dining room that lacked air conditioning. In winter, the electric baseboard heaters provided uneven heating, and in summer, the heat stagnated upstairs. After installing the FUJITSU ORION XLTH 24,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump , the difference was immediate: the main floor remained comfortable even in the middle of January, and in summer, cool air circulated more effectively to the upper floor. After one year, the homeowners noticed an overall decrease in their electricity bill , along with improved comfort.

Duplex in Laval with demanding tenant
A building owner wanted to improve the comfort of his main residence and offer a modern system to his tenant upstairs. With the ORION XLTH, he was able to provide reliable heating down to -26°C and efficient air conditioning. The tenant greatly appreciated the ability to precisely control the temperature and the quiet operation of the indoor unit. The result: a long-term lease renewal and increased rental value .

Condo in downtown Montreal
In a condo with a very small balcony, the main challenge was space. We opted for a wall-mounted installation with discreet pipework running through a load-bearing wall already heavily ducted. The indoor unit, located in the living room, became the primary source of heating in winter, significantly reducing the condo's baseboard heaters' energy consumption. The owner commented, "The wall-mounted heat pump is so quiet that I sometimes forget it's running."
