SAMSUNG HVAC · WINDFREE STANDARDSAMSUNG at AirGreenSold and installed by AirGreen, anywhere in Greater Montreal.
Up to 10 years, registration requiredSamsung WindFree Standard R-32 · updated October 8, 2026
WindFree Standard: summer without drafts, winter down to -20.6 °C.
The same WindFree mode as the Max Heat, the same built-in Wi-Fi, the same five sizes. ENERGY STAR certified, it heats down to -20.6 °C outside. It belongs in homes where baseboards, a furnace or a central heat pump keep things warm below -20.6 °C. LogisVert: $545 to $1,020.

02 · Standard or Max Heat
Below -20.6 °C, will your wall unit be on its own?
If yes, go Max Heat. If baseboards, a furnace or a central system take over, Standard is enough.
1Will the unit heat the room all winter?
Other systems, for example: baseboard heaters, a furnace, a central heat pump. We look at the house with you during the visit.
Our advice
WindFree Standard is the right fit.
It cools without drafts and heats down to -20.6 °C; in deep cold, your other system takes over. It is ENERGY STAR certified: LogisVert from $545 to $1,020.
Our advice
Look at the WindFree Max Heat instead.
Same WindFree mode, same Wi-Fi, but it heats down to -30 °C and keeps 100% of its capacity down to -20 °C, per Samsung. It is cold-climate certified: LogisVert from $1,272 to $2,640.

03 · Montreal winters
At least 19 hours each January below its -20.6 °C limit.
The National Building Code sets Montreal’s 2.5% January design temperature at -23 °C: on average, 19 January hours are colder. For those hours at least, the Standard does not heat and your other heating takes over.

Below -20.6 °C, your baseboards take over. Samsung planned for it.
Standard stops heating below -20.6 °C. With the
SAMSUNG
The heat pump heats
When temperatures rise, Samsung restricts the backup source and lets the heat pump do the heating.
SAMSUNG
Backup takes priority
In deep cold, you can make your backup source the priority. Below -20.6 °C, the Standard stops heating: the backup does all the work.
SAMSUNG
The backup starts on its own
If the heat pump shows certain error codes, the backup can start on its own.
Samsung also lets the installer set the head’s fan during backup heat, defrost and emergency heat. Settings are made at installation; the hookup to your baseboards is checked at the visit.

Tied at 8.3 °C. At -8 °C, Standard leads by 100 BTU/h. At -15 °C, Max Heat leads by 1,000.

| -15 °C (5 °F) | 17,300 | 18,500 | -1,200 |
At -8 °C, this heat is what LogisVert uses. Standard 12,000: 10.9 × $50 = $545. Max Heat 12,000: 10.6 × $120 = $1,272. The cold-climate certification sets the rate, not the heat alone.

06 · WindFree
From -10 °C to 46 °C outside, it cools without aiming at you.
That’s the cooling range Samsung gives the Standard. In WindFree mode, the vane closes and air leaves through thousands of micro-holes, under 0.15 m/s.
< 0.15 m/sVane closed: the air spreads gently, with no jet aimed at you.
Air jetVane open: the unit cools by blowing air, like any wall unit. Useful to bring the temperature down fast.
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.
SEER2 25.0
The Standard 9,000, per its Samsung submittal: the same SEER2 as the Max Heat 9,000.

08 · The 15,000 stands out
The 15,000: its own outdoor unit, the line’s best numbers.
Of the five Standards, it is the only one with a 34 5/8 × 25 1/8 in outdoor unit, and it leads the line on HSPF2 and COP at -15 °C. Not on everything: pick a measure.
The 15,000 leads with 10.0. The others: 9.0 or 8.0.
The 15,000 leads with 2.38. The others: 1.76 to 2.09.
Here the 24,000 leads (72.1%). The 15,000 follows at 70.0%.
In cooling, the 9,000 leads (25.0). The 15,000 sits at 21.5, tied with the 18,000.
