01 · Which wall unit for you?

Two questions, one wall unit.

The series decides the winter, the size decides the room. The LogisVert amount shown is worked out for that combination, by its AHRI number.

1Below -20 °C, what heats the room?
2What size?
Samsung WindFree Max Heat wall unit

Not sure about the size? We work it out on site: insulation, windows, orientation, ceiling height.

02 · The cold

Same size, two different winters.

On the wall, the two look alike. Outside, Standard stops at -20.6 °C; Max Heat heats down to -30 °C. Slide the temperature.

-22 °C
WindFree StandardNo longer heating: stops at -20.6 °C
WindFree Max HeatStill heating, below rated capacity

Heating operating limits from the Samsung submittals (version 10072024).

-30 °CMax Heat: the limit

It heats down to -30 °C (-22 °F) outside, per the Samsung submittal.

100%Down to -20 °C

Max Heat keeps 100% of its heating capacity down to -20 °C (-4 °F), per Samsung.

-20.6 °CStandard: the limit

Standard heats down to -20.6 °C (-5 °F). Below that, another heat source has to take over.

×2.3 to 2.8More LogisVert

Max Heat is cold-climate certified: 2.3 to 2.8 times the Standard amount at the same size.

03 · How it works

It does not make heat: it moves it.

In a 12,000 wall unit, 34 oz of R-32 shuttles between the head and the outdoor unit through two lines, 1/4 and 3/8 in. Outside, the refrigerant picks up heat from the air, even cold air. Inside, it gives that heat to the room.

InsideOutsideCInverter compressorExpansionRoom airHeat taken from cold airHeat sent outsideRefrigerant lines (gas and liquid)

Simplified illustration. In cooling, a valve reverses the cycle: the wall unit takes heat from the room and the outdoor unit sends it outside. Compressor: Samsung WindFree submittals (“Inverter Driven, Twin BLDC Rotary”).

04 · WindFree

Ten wall units, one gentle airflow: under 0.15 m/s.

In cooling, all five Standard and all five Max Heat units close the vane and push air through thousands of micro-holes, under 0.15 m/s per Samsung. Below that speed, the ASHRAE 55 standard calls it still air.

Samsung WindFree wall unit
< 0.15 m/sVane closed: the air spreads gently, with no jet aimed at you.
Cooling only

Samsung presents WindFree as a cooling feature. In heating, the unit runs in its usual modes.

Under 0.15 m/s

That is the air speed Samsung states in WindFree mode.

Still air

Below 0.15 m/s, air counts as still under the ASHRAE 55-2013 standard, Samsung notes.

Both wall units have it

WindFree Standard and WindFree Max Heat: same mode, same built-in Wi-Fi. Winter makes the big difference.

05 · Freeze Wash

Freeze Wash: all ten units clean their coil at one button.

Per Samsung, Freeze Wash quickly frosts the wall unit’s coil, melts the ice, then dries the coil: the dust leaves with the water. Watch the three steps.

Freeze Wash does not replace maintenance: the washable filter comes out from the top of the unit, with a cleaning reminder, per Samsung’s submittals. Source: samsunghvac.com, WindFree Standard and Max Heat pages; submittals 10072024A, which list Freeze Wash in both series.

06 · Hydro-Québec LogisVert

07 · The two series

Max Heat carries the winter, Standard teams up with your heating.

Open the series that matches your winter: each page compares its five sizes.

08 · Side by side

Same name, two different outdoor units.

Inside, two WindFree heads. Outside, the Max Heat has a factory base pan heater, a wider operating range and, at 15,000 and 18,000, a bigger outdoor unit. Pick a size.

10 · Efficiency

For each kWh you pay, how much heat?

A baseboard gives 1 kWh of heat for 1 kWh of electricity. A heat pump gives more, because it moves heat instead of making it. Try the Samsung wall units.

Pick a wall unit (HSPF2 rating)

The HSPF2 rating says how many BTU of heat the unit delivers over a heating season for each watt-hour it uses. Since 1 watt-hour equals 3.412 BTU, dividing by 3.412 gives a seasonal average.

Source: HSPF2 ratings (region IV) from Samsung WindFree submittals 10072024A; AirGreen calculation (HSPF2 ÷ 3.412). Baseboard: “electric resistance heating is 100% energy efficient” (DOE, Energy Saver). Natural Resources Canada, “Heat pump basics”, 2025.

11 · Where it goes

Under a 2.20 m ceiling, the head won’t fit.

Samsung’s manual wants the head at least 1.80 m off the floor and at least 100 mm below the ceiling. Add its 298 mm of height and you need 2.20 m of wall. Slide to your ceiling height.

CeilingFloor1.80 m minimum (R-32)1.80 m298 mm340 mm
65 mm holeThe hole through the wall is 65 mm (2.5 in) inside diameter, drilled 15° downward so the drain flows out.

≥ 80 mm≥ 700 mm
  • ≥ 80 mmAt least 80 mm (3.14 in) between the bottom of the unit and the ground.
  • BracketRaised and fixed to a concrete pad: the install Samsung recommends.
  • ≥ 700 mmAt least 700 mm (27.5 in) clear in front of the air outlet.

AirGreen calculation: 1,800 mm + 298 mm (head height, converted from Samsung’s 11 3/4 in) + 100 mm = 2,198 mm. Samsung also says: not in a room used for laundry.

12 · Refrigerant lines

The first 7.5 m of line set come pre-charged.

Samsung charges the outdoor unit for 7.5 m of line set. Past that, we add 0.16 oz of R-32 per foot, up to 20 m on the 9,000 and 12,000 and 30 m on the 15,000, 18,000 and 24,000.

Series and size

AirGreen calculation with the rule in Samsung’s manual: (length in feet − 24.6) × 0.16 oz. The actual charge is adjusted and recorded at start-up.

13 · Wiring

No plug: the outdoor unit powers the head.

The circuit runs from your panel to the outdoor unit. From there, a 14 AWG three-conductor cable feeds the head. Pick your wall unit to see the breaker Samsung specifies.

20 · Frequently asked questions

What people ask about Samsung wall units.

If the unit must heat the room all winter, Max Heat: it heats down to -30 °C and gets the LogisVert cold-climate rate. Standard stops at -20.6 °C; it fits when another system takes over in deep cold.

Samsung presents WindFree as a cooling feature: air comes through thousands of micro-holes at under 0.15 m/s. In heating, the unit runs in its usual modes.

Yes. Per the Samsung submittals, WindFree Standard and Max Heat have built-in Wi-Fi and work with the SmartThings app.

We work it out during the free visit: insulation, windows, orientation, ceiling. Our Samsung wall units range from 9,000 to 24,000 BTU/h.

Yes, in some cases. Since June 15, 2026, Hydro-Québec adds $100 per 1,000 BTU/h at -8 °C, for $220 in total, for an ENERGY STAR cold-climate wall unit installed in a multi-unit building located in an energy-poverty zone. This bonus cannot be combined with any other offer. Max Heat is a cold-climate wall unit; Standard is not.

Samsung’s manual wants the head at least 1.80 m off the floor and at least 100 mm below the ceiling. With its 298 mm of height, you need a ceiling of about 2.20 m or more (AirGreen calculation).

No. Samsung’s manual says the head is not suitable for a room used for laundry, nor near a heat source or in direct sunlight.

Max Heat: $1,272 to $2,640 (12,000 to 24,000 BTU/h). Standard: $545 to $1,020. The 9,000 BTU/h units are not eligible: the minimum is 12,000 BTU/h. Indicative amounts, confirmed by Hydro-Québec.

Not these models: each wall unit on this page comes with its own outdoor unit. For an FJM Premium multi-zone, Samsung has dedicated wall heads, and the FJM outdoor unit’s range applies: down to -25 °C. We confirm the combination in the quote.

Up to 10 years on compressor and parts if the unit is registered with Samsung within 60 days. Conditions apply. We register it for you.

Yes. Our published service calls show diagnostics, cleanings and cleared drains on Samsung wall units across Greater Montreal.

No. Samsung’s WindFree submittals say A2L leak detection is not included. R-32 is classified A2L, lower flammability: Samsung’s manual sets a minimum room area based on the charge, and we apply those rules at installation.

Per Samsung, 20 m of line at most on the 9,000 and 12,000, and 30 m on the 15,000, 18,000 and 24,000, with 15 m or 20 m of height difference at most. The first 7.5 m come pre-charged.
