Underneath, it is the same system: the \u003cstrong\u003eABU36RSLX\u003c\/strong\u003e ceiling indoor unit and the \u003cstrong\u003eAOU36RLX\u003c\/strong\u003e outdoor unit, with the same values, the same warranty and the same certification record. That record, to be precise, includes neither an ENERGY STAR listing nor an AHRI certificate. The manufacturer, long known as Fujitsu General Limited, has been called GENERAL Inc. since January 1, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf the three floor\/ceiling and ceiling units in this family, the ABU36RSLX is the largest, and the only one that mounts exclusively on the ceiling. It targets places that need a lot of cooling all at once: a restaurant dining room on a Friday night in July, the neighbourhood bar packed during a game, the warehouse whose roof soaks up heat all afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer credits it with two strengths that set it apart: it can draw in outdoor air and it throws air farther. It lists as applications restaurants and bars that need an outdoor-air intake and a large capacity, as well as warehouses, where several units are hung from threaded rods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGENERAL or Fujitsu AIRSTAGE: the same machine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn January 1, 2026, Fujitsu General Limited became GENERAL Inc. The change follows the acquisition completed in August 2025 by Paloma Rheem Holdings, the group that has owned Rheem since 1988. Nothing moved on the technical side: the head office and R\u0026amp;D are still in Kawasaki, and the AIRSTAGE units come out of the same factories and carry the same model numbers, under the same warranty program. Only the name on the unit changes, as the Fujitsu brand fades from the market.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA restaurant owner has better things to do than compare two catalogues. So we put both pages online with the same table, so you can pick the name that suits you, knowing the machine is the same. Since February 2026, Rheem Canada has been the one selling these units in the country; we continue to source from Groupe Master, our distributor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"tp-compare\"

It is nothing like a cold-climate heat pump. No ENERGY STAR, no AHRI certificate in the documentation, absent from the LogisVert list dated October 27, 2026, and therefore no Hydro-Québec grant. A restaurant or a warehouse that installs it keeps its heating system for the winter: below −10 °C, that system carries the whole load. The rest of the year, it does what you buy it for, cooling a large volume fast, and it also heats on cool evenings in April or October.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe manufacturer’s values, in plain terms:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eairflow\u003c\/strong\u003e of 1,089 CFM, thrown far into the room;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003edehumidification of 7.4 pints\/h, valuable when the heat of a crowd and summer humidity make the air sticky;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean indoor sound level of 39 dB(A) at minimum and 48 dB(A) at maximum;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ean AOU36RLX outdoor unit at 55 dB(A);\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ea 208\/230 V power supply, circuit protection of 30 A at most and piping connections of 3\/8 in and 5\/8 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the restaurant.\u003c\/strong\u003e The unit mounts on the dining room ceiling, out of the way of servers and chairs. Because it throws air farther, it suits long, narrow rooms, where the customers seated at the back are the first to feel the heat. Below the ceiling, it drops 9.50 in, the height shown in the table, which stays discreet under the high ceilings of former industrial spaces. Its automatic louvers and permanent front grille complete the package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt the bar.\u003c\/strong\u003e When the room is full, bringing in outdoor air becomes a strong argument, and that is exactly what the ABU36RSLX allows. The unit has a knockout designed for connecting an outdoor-air intake; the fan and the outdoor-air ducts are supplied by the installer. If you choose this option, we include them in the quote and lay out their route together with the refrigerant line. Behind the counter, the optional UTY-RNBYU wired controller proves more practical than a remote that wanders off: it stays fixed to the wall, and setting a DIP switch inside the indoor unit is all it takes to activate it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn the warehouse.\u003c\/strong\u003e The manufacturer provides for suspension from threaded rods, in multiple units, to cover a large floor area. Each ABU36RSLX indoor unit works with its own AOU36RLX outdoor unit; the number of systems comes from the load calculation, done before the quote. In a warehouse, the main concern is the comfort of the crews who work there in summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat the installation involves.\u003c\/strong\u003e On this model, the allowed height difference rises to 30 m (98 ft); the refrigerant line length remains capped at 50 m (164 ft), and the unit comes precharged for 15 m (49 ft). On a multi-storey building, the outdoor unit can therefore go up on the roof or stay on the ground, in the yard, depending on what the building and the neighbours allow. The two units are linked by the refrigerant line, a power cable and the drain, and the outdoor unit is set on a base or fastened to a bracket. For the drain, the ABU36RSLX is the only one in its family to offer an optional condensate pump, the UTR-DPB24T: when there is not enough natural slope, it removes the water. A refrigeration technician then handles the commissioning. AirGreen holds an RBQ licence as an HVAC contractor and AIRSTAGE Elite Plus installer status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls, maintenance and warranty.\u003c\/strong\u003e A remote control comes with the indoor unit, and Wi-Fi, available as an option, lets you control the unit remotely, for example to cool the room before the lunch service. The air filter is washable; in a restaurant, plan to wash it more often than in an office, because the air in a busy dining room gets loaded quickly. On the ceiling, access to the filter is best scheduled outside service hours. On the warranty side, nothing sets this page apart from the Fujitsu page: compressor 12 years, parts 12 years, labour 6 years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ABU36RSLX is meant for restaurant owners, bar and brewpub owners, and managers of warehouses and workshops who need a large cooling capacity on the ceiling and keep another system for heating in winter. For a home you want to heat with a heat pump all year round, a unit designed for cold climates is a better fit, and we will steer you toward it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRestaurants, bars and warehouses in Saint-Henri: ask for your free quote\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhether your dining room faces Notre-Dame Street or your warehouse runs along the Lachine Canal, we come to look at the ceiling, where the outdoor unit could go, the drain route and the option of an outdoor-air intake.
