A wall-mounted heat pump designed for Quebec's climate and daily comfort

At AirGreen, we install hundreds of wall-mounted heat pump systems each year in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and the South Shore. Among the models that clearly stand out in the field, the SAMSUNG WindFree MaxHeat R32 12,000 BTU holds a prominent place.

This is not simply a high-performance unit on paper. It's a system we've seen operate in real-world conditions: urban condos, single-family homes, old duplexes, and recent constructions. And the results are consistent: stable comfort, optimized consumption, and winter reliability.


WindFree™ Technology: Draft-Free Comfort

The most remarkable feature noticed by our customers after installation is, without hesitation, the WindFree™ mode.

Unlike traditional heat pumps that blow air directly, this system diffuses air through thousands of micro-perforations, creating a sensation of uniform temperature without a perceptible airflow.

What this concretely changes:

  • No cold drafts in air conditioning mode
  • Superior comfort in bedrooms and living rooms
  • Fewer temperature variations in the room
  • Ideal for people sensitive to airflow

During a recent installation in Outremont, a client mentioned that they completely forgot the air conditioning was on — a clear indicator of discreet performance.


Heating Performance down to -30°C: Adapted to Montreal Winters

A heat pump in Quebec must first and foremost perform well in heating. This model is designed for cold climates, with heating capacity down to -30°C.

Observed actual capacities:

  • 12,000 BTU nominal
  • Up to 24,000 BTU maximum range
  • Capacity maintained at low temperatures
  • Stable operation even during cold spells

AirGreen concrete example:

On the South Shore (Boucherville), we replaced an electric system in a 1990s bungalow. Result:

  • Significant reduction in winter consumption
  • Uniform comfort in main rooms
  • No auxiliary heating needed up to -20°C

High Energy Efficiency: Measurable Savings

This heat pump is ENERGY STAR® (Cold Climate) certified, making it eligible for subsidies like LogisVert ($1272).

Key technical data:

  • SEER2: 24.0
  • HSPF2: 10.5
  • EER2: 14.1
  • COP at 5°F: 2.09

These figures concretely translate to:

  • A significant reduction in summer air conditioning costs
  • Higher heating efficiency than standard electric systems
  • Optimized consumption thanks to smart technologies

Artificial Intelligence and Smart Control

The SAMSUNG WindFree MaxHeat integrates several advanced technologies that make a real difference in use:

Smart functions included:

  • Integrated WiFi (SmartThings)
  • AI Auto mode: automatically adjusts settings according to habits
  • AI Energy mode: optimizes energy consumption
  • Real-time consumption monitoring
  • Integrated humidity sensor

On several projects in Laval, we configured these systems for owners who are often away. The result: effective remote control and measurable savings.


HVAC Installation: What We've Learned in the Field

Correctly installing a heat pump like this is just as important as choosing the model.

Critical points observed by AirGreen:

  • Respecting piping lengths (max 66 feet)
  • Drainage management (important in winter)
  • Strategic positioning of the indoor unit
  • Adequate duct insulation

Poor positioning can completely compromise the WindFree™ experience.

Real case in Montreal (Plateau Mont-Royal):

A client initially had a unit poorly placed by another contractor:

  • Poor air distribution
  • Feeling of discomfort

After repositioning and reinstallation by our team:

  • Homogeneous comfort
  • Improved quietness
  • Optimal performance

Exceptionally Low Noise Level

Comfort also comes from quietness.

Data:

  • 22 dB(A) indoors (silent mode)
  • 46 dB(A) outdoors

This makes it an excellent choice for:

  • Bedrooms
  • Home offices
  • Condos with close neighbors

Essential Technical Specifications

Main specifications:

  • Refrigerant: R-32 (low GWP)
  • Voltage: 220V
  • Piping: 1/4 – 3/8
  • Compressor: Rotary Inverter BLDC
  • Airflow: up to 427 CFM in cooling
