Fujitsu General America has introduced the single-zone, wall-mounted AIRSTAGE Orion XLTH+, the newest addition to its H-Series R-32 heat pump line.

The Orion XLTH+ (Extra Low Temperature Heating Plus) system is a cold-climate mini-split system designed to deliver exceptional heating performance in extremely low outdoor ambient conditions. This premium system ensures indoor comfort even at outdoor temperatures as low as -22°F (-30°C) while maintaining high efficiency with a SEER2 rating of up to 33.5 SEER2. AIRSTAGE Orion XLTH+ offers superior heating performance, maintaining full rated (100%) capacity at -15°F (-26°C) and 90% rated capacity at -22°F (-30°C).

Its compact outdoor unit, slim wall-mounted indoor unit, and extended line set lengths (up to 66 feet) simplify installation in almost any space. Both the indoor and outdoor units are extremely quiet, with sound levels as low as 23 dB (A) indoors and 44dB (A) outdoors.

Orion XLTH+ is available in three capacities: 9,000, 12,000 and 15,000 BTUh, with maximum heating capacities of 24,000, 27,300 and 28,000 BTUh, respectively. The indoor unit features ProCore™ (high corrosion resistant copper) coils for long lasting protection. In addition to an inverter-driven compressor, the compact outdoor unit includes a base pan heater for optimal winter performance.

System control options are nearly endless, including built-in WiFi connectivity with remote monitoring via the AIRSTAGE Mobile App, a backlit wireless remote, compatibility with a variety of Fujitsu wired controls, and third-party interface options, including BACnet and Modbus for integration with building and home automation systems.

Many optional accessories are available, including Fujitsu’s wired remote controllers, wireless controllers, Building Management System (BMS) adapters, hail guards, snow hoods, wind baffles, and more.

I'm planning to put them on my house next spring when I repaint all the trim that the painters drunken drug addicts screwed up. Going to rent a boom lift because I'm way to old to work off of a 24' extension ladder or walk around on a 12/12 roof.
