A high-end ducted solution perfectly adapted to Quebec's climatic realities

At AirGreen, we regularly install ducted HVAC systems in residential and commercial buildings in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and the South Shore. The SAMSUNG PREMIUM FJM 18000 BTU ducted heat pump represents a strategic choice for owners looking for a discreet, high-performance solution adapted to Quebec's harsh winters.

Unlike traditional wall-mounted units, this system integrates directly into the ducts, allowing for uniform air distribution without compromising aesthetics. This type of installation is particularly appreciated in high-end renovations and new constructions where interior appearance is a priority.


Real performance in extreme winter conditions

Heating down to -25°C: a field reality

One of the decisive elements for our clients in Quebec is heating performance. This SAMSUNG heat pump offers functional heating capacity down to -25°C, making it a viable option to replace or supplement a central system.

According to the manufacturer's technical data:

  • Nominal heating capacity: 20,000 BTU
  • Operating range: down to -13°F (-25°C)
  • COP at -8°C: 1.80

In a recent project in Boucherville (South Shore), we replaced an old inefficient electric system with this ducted model. Result: a significant reduction in heating costs, while maintaining constant comfort in all rooms.


Advanced technology and energy efficiency

An optimized system to reduce consumption

This heat pump stands out for its energy efficiency:

  • SEER2: 17.0
  • HSPF2: 9.0
  • ENERGY STAR® (cold climate) certification

These performances allow owners to benefit from the LogisVert subsidy of $1944, a significant financial advantage as part of an HVAC installation in Montreal or Laval.

R-32 refrigerant: a modern choice

The system uses R-32 gas, known for:

  • Its reduced environmental impact
  • Better thermal efficiency
  • Superior heat transfer capacity

Smart indoor comfort and precise control

Integrated humidity management

An aspect often overlooked by consumers is humidity management. This unit includes an integrated humidity sensor, allowing automatic adjustment of the coil temperature according to the dew point.

Concretely, this means:

  • Less heavy air in summer
  • Better comfort in winter
  • Reduced risk of mold

Integrated WiFi and remote control

The system is compatible with Samsung SmartThings, which allows for:

  • Remote control via smartphone
  • Advanced programming
  • Energy monitoring

In several projects in Montreal, our clients particularly appreciate this feature for managing their comfort even remotely.


Ducted installation: expertise and precision required

Why installation is critical

A ducted system like this requires a professional HVAC installation. Poor duct design or inadequate sizing can drastically reduce performance.

At AirGreen, we consider:

  • The external static pressure (up to 0.24” WC)
  • Airflow (up to 600 CFM)
  • The configuration of existing or new ducts

Real example: installation in Laval

In a single-family house in Laval, we installed this model in a suspended ceiling. The main challenge was the limited height. Thanks to the compact dimensions of the indoor unit (7.8 inches high), we were able to integrate the system without major structural modification.

Result:

  • No visible units
  • Uniform distribution in 6 rooms
  • Remarkable silence (28 dB minimum)

Sound level and acoustic comfort

Acoustic comfort is often a major concern, especially in residential installations.

  • Indoor sound level: 28 to 35 dB(A)
  • Outdoor sound level: 58 dB(A)

In addition, the Night Quiet mode automatically reduces noise during the night.

In a project in Longueuil, this function allowed the outdoor unit to be installed near a bedroom without noise disturbance.


Reliability, safety and durability

Robust construction

  • Galvanized steel outdoor casing with anti-corrosion coating
  • Aluminum/copper heat exchangers
  • Demonstrated corrosion resistance up to 2280 hours (ISO 9227)

Advanced security

  • R-32 refrigerant leak detection (option)
  • Integrated condensate pump with overflow protection
  • Automatic restart after power failure

Flexibility and integration into different projects

This system can be configured for:

  • Heating only
  • Air conditioning only
  • Combined mode

It is also compatible with:

  • Standard thermostats (with adapter)
  • Centralized management systems
  • Auxiliary heating sources

This makes it an ideal solution for:

  • Single-family homes
  • High-end condos
  • Small multi-dwelling buildings

Frequent errors to avoid with this type of system

At AirGreen, we have identified several common errors:

  1. Undersizing of ducts
  2. Poor return air management
  3. Installation without a thermal load study
  4. Ignoring maximum static pressure
  5. Poor duct insulation

These errors can significantly reduce the performance and lifespan of the system.
