The \u003cstrong\u003eABU24RULX\u003c\/strong\u003e indoor unit and the \u003cstrong\u003eAOU24RLX\u003c\/strong\u003e outdoor unit we offer here under the \u003cstrong\u003eGENERAL AIRSTAGE\u003c\/strong\u003e label are identical, part for part, to the pair sold under the Fujitsu AIRSTAGE name. The manufacturer has not changed; it changed its name on January 1, 2026 to become GENERAL Inc. The technical values, the warranty and the certification status follow the machine, whatever the label: the documentation mentions no ENERGY STAR registration and no AHRI certificate, for one brand or the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 24,000 BTU system answers a situation that comes up often in offices and clinics: a long corridor, a waiting room lined with doors, counters and display racks, and not a single stretch of free wall for a wall-mounted head. Patients wait, staff walk back and forth, and the air does not move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ABU24RULX gets around the obstacle from above or from below. It mounts across the ceiling, above the traffic, or low on a wall, under a window or at the end of the corridor. The manufacturer in fact lists corridors where wall space is limited among its applications. And because the refrigerant line can be long, the outdoor unit can go far from the entrance and the storefront, out of your clients’ sight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn August 2025, Paloma Rheem Holdings, a group that has owned Rheem since 1988, acquired Fujitsu General Limited. On January 1, 2026, the Japanese company became GENERAL Inc., keeping its head office and R\u0026amp;D centre in Kawasaki, its factories and its model numbers. Founded in 1936, it marks the 90th anniversary of its founding in 2026; the GENERAL brand itself has been in use since 1946.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the Fujitsu brand is gradually phased out, both names are on the market, sometimes in the same stack of quotes. So we keep both pages online: a building manager or a clinic administrator can check at a glance that the numbers match. In Canada, Rheem Canada has handled sales since February 2026; Groupe Master remains our distributor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tp-compare\"

The ABU24RULX is not built for deep Québec cold: in heating, the manufacturer’s operating range goes down to \u003cstrong\u003e−10 °C\u003c\/strong\u003e outdoors, and no lower. At −8 °C, the listed heating capacity is 15,000 BTU. It is not a cold-climate heat pump, it does not appear on the LogisVert list of October 27, 2026, and it qualifies for no grant. In an office or a clinic, the building’s heating therefore remains essential in winter, as soon as the thermometer drops below −10 °C. What you get is summer cooling and heating for the fall and the spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd in a corridor or a waiting room, cooling is precisely the main request. A commercial space, with its lighting, its screens, its equipment and its occupants, warms up quickly as soon as the first hot days arrive, and summer is when the complaints reach the front desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the specification sheet announces for this type of space:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eairflow\u003c\/strong\u003e of 518 CFM, sent down the corridor by automatic louvers;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea dehumidification capacity of 7.4 pints\/h, welcome when people walk in from the street in the full humidity of July;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean indoor sound level of 38 to 47 dB(A), from minimum to maximum speed; the low speed suits the quiet hours of the waiting room;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean AOU24RLX outdoor unit at 55 dB(A), which is worth keeping away from office windows in any case;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3\/8 in and 5\/8 in piping, a 208\/230 V power supply and an overcurrent protection device rated at no more than 20 A.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a corridor, every inch counts. Of the three indoor unit dimensions listed in the table, the smallest is 7.88 in: that is the thickness of the unit. Mounted on the ceiling, the unit takes only that thickness off the clear height; set low on the wall, it projects only that far into the passage. The front grille is permanent, and the automatic louvers direct the air without anyone having to touch them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe outdoor unit, for its part, stays out of the way. Between the two units, the manufacturer allows up to 50 m (164 ft) of \u003cstrong\u003erefrigerant line\u003c\/strong\u003e, with 15 m (49 ft) covered by the precharge, and a vertical gap of no more than 20 m (66 ft). In the office buildings and converted houses of Vieux-Longueuil, that flexibility lets you choose a back courtyard, a lane or a roof rather than the storefront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is how an AirGreen job goes for this system:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewe survey the length of the corridor, the ceiling height and the available walls, then choose the position, on the ceiling or low on the wall;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewe decide where the outdoor unit goes, on a base or a bracket, away from windows and entrances;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ewe lay out the path of the refrigerant line, the power cable and the drain; the optional condensate pump in the catalogue is not offered for this model (only for the ABU36RSLX), so the drain route weighs in the choice of position;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eour team installs both units, then our refrigeration technician puts the system into service.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work is done by AirGreen, an HVAC contractor holding an RBQ licence and an AIRSTAGE Elite Plus installer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe indoor unit comes with its remote control. In a clinic, the better choice is often the UTY-RNBYU wired controller, offered as an option and permanently installed near the reception desk; activating it goes through a DIP switch in the indoor unit. With Wi-Fi, another option, you set the temperature remotely before the doors open.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaintenance comes down mostly to the washable air filter. In the low position, staff can take it out and rinse it without help; on the ceiling, a stepladder becomes necessary, which is worth planning for in a busy corridor. The warranty does not change with the label: 12 years for the compressor, 12 years for parts, 6 years for labour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ABU24RULX is made for clinics, professional offices, practices, waiting rooms and corridors in commercial or institutional buildings that want cooling and shoulder-season heating while keeping their main heating system for the winter. For a house looking to heat entirely with a heat pump, this is not the right unit, and we will tell you so.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCooling an office or a clinic in Vieux-Longueuil: free quote\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend us the floor plan or call us at 514 316-2973.
