SAMSUNG WindFree Standard R32 Wall-Mounted Heat Pump | 18,000 BTU

A smart and discreet HVAC solution perfectly suited to Quebec's climate

At AirGreen, we regularly install HVAC systems in residences in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore, and the South Shore, and some models clearly stand out in specific contexts. The SAMSUNG WindFree Standard R32 Wall-Mounted Heat Pump | 18,000 BTU is one of those systems we recommend when thermal comfort, sound discretion, and intelligent control are priorities.

This model is not just a high-performing heat pump. It offers a different experience, notably thanks to its WindFree™ technology, which completely transforms the perception of cooling in a room.

WindFree™ Technology: comfort without direct drafts

The main feature of this Samsung model is its WindFree™ technology, an innovation that changes how air is diffused into space.

How it works in practice

When WindFree™ mode is activated:

• The main louver closes
• Air is diffused through thousands of micro-perforations
• Air speed drops below 0.15 m/s, which is considered still air according to ASHRAE standards

Results in the field (AirGreen experience)

In a recent condo in Ville-Marie (Montreal), a client had initially contacted us for a common problem: an unpleasant cold sensation with their old heat pump. After installing this Samsung model:

• No more complaints related to drafts
• More stable room temperature
• Frequent use of night mode (Good Sleep)

This is an excellent example where technology is not limited to numbers but genuinely improves daily comfort.

Energy performance and real efficiency

This heat pump offers solid performance for an 18,000 BTU wall unit.

AirGreen Analysis

In the reality of the Quebec market:

• For heating, it remains effective for inter-seasons and moderate winter
• For extreme heating needs (-25°C and below), we often recommend Cold Climate models

However, for a well-insulated residence in Laval or Longueuil, this model offers an excellent cost/performance balance.

Advanced connectivity and integrated artificial intelligence

Another major highlight: the integration of WiFi and artificial intelligence.

Included smart features

• Samsung SmartThings App
• AI Auto mode: automatic adaptation based on:
  • Indoor temperature
  • Outdoor temperature
  • Usage habits
