As the demand for energy-efficient climate control grows across Quebec, many homeowners are turning to heat pumps as a reliable year-round solution. Among the top contenders, Fujitsu heat pumps stand out for their exceptional performance, durability, and advanced features. Whether you live in a cottage in Estrie or a bungalow in Laval, understanding how to compare Fujitsu models will help you make a sound investment in 2025.

Fujitsu is a well-established Japanese brand known for manufacturing durable and high-performing HVAC systems. Their line of residential heat pumps is especially popular in Canada for handling extreme temperature variations, which is a crucial consideration in Quebec’s harsh winters. With local distribution and support available from certified dealers across the province, Fujitsu ensures that their products meet Canadian energy standards and climate challenges.

Fujitsu air conditioners vs. heat pumps: What’s the difference?

Although Fujitsu offers both air conditioners and heat pumps, it’s essential to understand the difference. A Fujitsu air conditioning system only cools, while a Fujitsu heat pump serves as both a cooling system in the summer and a heating source in the winter. For Quebec homeowners looking for year-round efficiency, heat pumps are often the preferred choice due to their dual functionality. 

Depending on your home's layout and heating or cooling needs, you can choose between mini-split or ducted systems to get the most out of your Fujitsu heat pump.

Fujitsu Mini Splits: The Ideal Solution for Homes Without Ductwork

Fujitsu heat pumps are primarily mini-split systems. These units are perfect for older homes or new additions where ductwork is impractical. Each mini-split consists of one or more indoor heads connected to an outdoor unit, offering zoned heating and cooling. With capacity ranging from 7,000 to 24,000 BTU, Fujitsu mini splits can serve everything from a small bedroom to an open-concept living space.

Fujitsu Ducted Heat Pump: An Alternative for Larger Homes

While mini splits dominate the Fujitsu line, ducted heat pumps are also available for whole-house applications. These systems use a central indoor air handler and traditional ductwork, ideal for new builds or major renovations. Though more complex to install, they offer consistent comfort across all rooms and are compatible with smart thermostats.

One of the top reasons Quebec homeowners choose Fujitsu is their cold-climate performance. Fujitsu’s high-end models are built to operate efficiently in temperatures as low as -26°C. The outdoor unit includes a low-temperature defrost cycle to prevent icing, maintaining optimal heating even during January’s coldest days in places like Saguenay or Gaspésie.

The Fujitsu Heat Pump Remote Control: Intuitive and Customizable

Each Fujitsu heat pump comes with a remote control designed to offer maximum comfort with minimal complexity. Features include:

  • Weekly programming

  • Energy-saving mode

  • Sleep timer

  • Fan-only mode

  • Quiet mode for noise-sensitive hours

Fujitsu Heat Pump Modes: More Than Just Heating and Cooling

Fujitsu units offer several operating modes to adapt to various needs:

  • Auto: Automatically switches between heating and cooling

  • Dry: Dehumidifies the air without overcooling

  • Fan: Circulates air only

  • Quiet: Reduces outdoor unit and indoor fan noise

  • Economy: Limits energy usage

These modes contribute to cost savings and a more personalized comfort experience.
