A compact and powerful HVAC console designed for Quebec's climate
At AirGreen, we regularly install systems adapted to the climatic realities of Greater Montreal, where winters demand reliable and efficient equipment. The SAMSUNG FJM PREMIUM Floor Console | 18000 BTU stands out as a strategic solution for residential and multi-dwelling properties seeking an efficient, discreet, and robust low-wall mounted heat pump.
This model combines a compact design with advanced performance in heating down to -25°C, making it a relevant choice for customers located in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore.
Smart design adapted to real spaces
Unlike traditional high-mounted wall units, this floor console is ideal in several real-world situations encountered on site:
- Under an existing window
- In rooms with sloped ceilings
- In renovations where upper walls are already occupied
- In dwellings where aesthetics play an important role
During a recent installation in Boucherville (South Shore), our team replaced an old electric convector with this Samsung console. The client wanted to maintain the current layout of the room without modifying the structure. The result: perfect integration, without compromising comfort.
Real performance: much more than just 18,000 BTU
This system is not limited to its nominal capacity. It offers an impressive operating range:
- Cooling: 5,600 to 21,000 BTU
- Heating: 4,100 to 22,000 BTU
- Guaranteed operation down to -25°C
- Optimized COP at low temperature
These performances are confirmed in the manufacturer's technical data, allowing for reliable use even during Quebec's coldest periods.
Optimized air distribution: uniform comfort
A point often overlooked by homeowners concerns the actual air distribution. This Samsung unit offers a unique configuration:
- In cooling mode: upward diffusion (motorized louver)
- In heating mode: upward AND downward diffusion
This system helps to avoid cold spots on the floor, a common problem in poorly insulated homes or open-plan rooms.
Advanced technology that simplifies everyday life
Integrated Wi-Fi and smart control
The console is equipped with an integrated Wi-Fi module compatible with Samsung SmartThings. This allows for:
- Remote control via smartphone
- Scheduled programming
- Consumption monitoring
At AirGreen, we systematically configure these functions during HVAC installation, so that the customer immediately benefits from all features.
R-32 Refrigerant: efficiency and reduced environmental impact
This model uses R-32 gas, known for:
- Its low Global Warming Potential (GWP)
- Improved energy efficiency
- Reduced refrigerant charge
The system also includes leak detection, which enhances the overall safety of the installation.
Silence and acoustic comfort
The indoor sound level varies between 32 and 43 dB(A), which is comparable to a quiet environment. This is particularly appreciated in:
- Bedrooms
- Home offices
- Condos
A client in Laval specifically asked us for a discreet system for a master bedroom. After installation, they mentioned no longer noticing the unit operating at night.
Night mode and outdoor sound reduction
The outdoor unit includes a Night Quiet mode to reduce noise in the evening. This can be crucial in dense residential areas like Montreal.

Elements included in our standard installations:
- Up to 15 feet of piping (1/4 – 1/2 in)
