A high-end HVAC solution designed for Quebec's harsh winters
At AirGreen, we install HVAC systems adapted to Quebec's climatic realities, particularly in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore. The SAMSUNG WindFree MaxHeat R32 30°C | 24,000 BTU wall-mounted heat pump is among the systems we frequently recommend for residential properties and certain commercial spaces requiring performance, stability, and constant comfort.
This model stands out not only for its heating capacity down to -30°C, but also for its unique air diffusion technology and high energy performance. Here, we will detail its characteristics, its real-world advantages, and the essential elements to know before installation.
WindFree™ Technology: Draft-Free Comfort
A Different Approach to Indoor Comfort
One of the most striking aspects of this heat pump is WindFree™ technology, which completely changes how air is diffused in a room.
Unlike traditional systems that blow air directly, this model diffuses air through thousands of micro-perforations. The result:
- No sensation of cold drafts
- More uniform temperature in the room
- Increased comfort, especially in bedrooms and living rooms
According to manufacturer technical data, air diffused in WindFree™ mode is less than 0.15 m/s, which is considered "still air" by ASHRAE standards.
Real Case in Montreal – Condo Installation
We recently installed this model in a condo in Plateau Mont-Royal. The client previously complained of constant discomfort with an old heat pump blowing directly onto the sofa.
After installation:
- The client noticed an immediate reduction in temperature variations
- No discomfort even with continuous air conditioning
- Increased use of the system in automatic mode
Extreme Heating Performance: Down to -30°C
Adapted to Quebec Winters
This heat pump is designed to operate efficiently even in extreme conditions:
- Heating capacity maintained at very low temperatures
- Operation possible down to -30°C
- Nominal heating capacity: up to 25,000 BTU
This makes it an excellent alternative to traditional electric systems, particularly in:
- Single-family homes
- Duplexes and triplexes
- Well-insulated condos
Actual Performance Observed on the South Shore
On a project in Boucherville, we replaced a main electric heating system with this heat pump.
Results after a full winter:
- Significant reduction in electricity bills
- Stable temperature maintained even at -25°C
- Less use of electric baseboards as supplementary heating

HVAC Installation: Critical Points Not to Neglect
Adequate Sizing
A common mistake is to choose a 24,000 BTU unit without a complete thermal analysis.
At AirGreen, we evaluate:
- Actual surface area
- Insulation
- Building orientation
- Fenestration
Typical Installation in Greater Montreal
A standard installation includes:
- Up to 15 feet of piping (1/4 - 5/8)
- Wall bracket or ground base
- Conforming electrical connection
- Complete commissioning
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Incorrect indoor unit placement
- Poorly designed drainage
- Excessive piping length
- Installation without thermal load calculation
We have already corrected several poorly executed installations in Laval where these errors caused poor performance.
HVAC Maintenance and Durability
Recommended Maintenance
To maximize lifespan:
- Clean filters every 2-3 months
- Complete annual inspection
- Check drainage and compressor
Concrete Example in Longueuil
A client had never maintained their system for 3 years:
- Significant dust accumulation
- Noticeable drop in performance
- Higher energy consumption
After a complete overhaul:
- Performance restored
- Immediate improvement in airflow
- Noise reduction
