Pick the number of rooms and their size. The estimate targets a −15 °C day; it is a guide: the on-site assessment of heating needs is done room by room, at your home.
The whole series at a glance: find the box that fits you.
Each box is a product: the outdoor unit’s size, and the number of heads.
At −15 °C, it still delivers 110 % of its rated capacity, according to Samsung’s figures listed on NEEP.

A High-Performance Multi-Zone HVAC Solution for Modern Homes in Quebec
At AirGreen, we regularly install multi-zone HVAC systems in homes in Montreal, Laval and Longueuil, on the North Shore and on the South Shore, and the SAMSUNG Premium FJM 20,000 BTU heat pump stands out as a particularly attractive solution for projects that call for flexibility, performance and precise control of indoor comfort.
This AJ020DXS3CG/AA outdoor model is designed to serve 2 independent zones, with the option of expanding to 3 zones, which makes it a strategic choice for homeowners who want to optimize their comfort without adding more outdoor units.
Why Choose an FJM Multi-Zone Heat Pump in Montreal and the Surrounding Area
Smart Zone-by-Zone Comfort Management
Unlike traditional systems, FJM (Free Joint Multi) technology connects several indoor units to a single outdoor unit. This means:
- An independent temperature in each room
- Lower energy consumption
- Comfort tailored to how each space is actually used
In a recent project, we installed this model in a duplex. The client wanted to air-condition the living room and the master bedroom without installing two separate systems. The result: a cleaner, quieter installation.
Real Heating and Cooling Performance in Quebec
Capacity Suited to Harsh Winters
This Samsung Premium FJM heat pump heats down to -25 °C according to Samsung, which is essential for winters in Montreal and Laval. At that temperature, NEEP still lists 18,000 BTU/h (COP 1.61).
Key data:
- Heating capacity: up to 22,000 BTU
- Capacity at -15 °C: up to 22,000 BTU/h
- Rated capacity at -8 °C: 13,200 BTU/h
Listed on NEEP (AHRI 216372795): at -8 °C, rated capacity of 13,200 BTU/h (COP 2.95) and up to 22,000 BTU/h at full output; at -15 °C, up to 22,000 BTU/h (COP 1.95); at -25 °C, up to 18,000 BTU/h (COP 1.61).
This sustained performance is made possible by the Twin BLDC inverter compressor, which continuously adjusts its output to actual demand.
Advanced Energy Efficiency
- SEER2: 23.0 (AHRI 216372795)
- HSPF2: 10.5
- EER2: 15.0
- ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate: Yes
In practical terms, this means:
- A significant reduction in electricity costs
- A model on the LogisVert list, with an indicative LogisVert amount of $1,584 (Hydro-Québec list of October 14, 2026). Only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted.
Advanced Samsung Technology: Much More Than a Heat Pump
Inverter Compressor and Thermal Stability
Inverter technology provides:
- Fewer temperature swings
- Quieter operation
- Lower electricity consumption
According to the Samsung brochure, this type of compressor allows more precise control of heating and cooling, with fewer on/off cycles.
SmartThings: Smart Remote Control
With built-in Wi-Fi:
- Control from a mobile app
- Energy consumption tracking
- Automatic adjustment to your habits
Several of our clients use this feature to cut their consumption while they are away.
Exceptional Installation Flexibility
Simplified Connections and Optimized Installation
The system uses a home-run (direct lines) configuration:
- No complex branch connections required
- Fewer energy losses
- A faster, more reliable installation
At AirGreen, this allows us to:
- Reduce installation errors
- Speed up commissioning
- Minimize future service calls
Compatible with Several Types of Indoor Units
This heat pump can be paired with:
- WindFree™ wall-mounted units
- Consoles

Optimized Defrost Management
- Built-in heated base pan
- Efficient drainage of defrost water
In several of our installations, this has prevented troublesome ice buildup.
Essential Technical Data
- Capacity: 20,000 BTU
- Voltage: 208-230 V
- MCA: 35.9 A

Lessons from AirGreen Installations: Mistakes to Avoid
Poor Zone Distribution
A common mistake is to balance the capacities of the indoor units poorly. For example:
- Too much capacity in a small room
- Not enough in an open space
On one project, we corrected an existing installation where a bedroom had an oversized unit, causing short cycling and poor dehumidification.
Overlooking the Outdoor Unit Location
A poor location can lead to:
- High perceived noise
- Poor airflow
- Snow buildup
At AirGreen, we favour:
- Sturdy wall brackets or raised bases
- Optimal clearance around the unit

What people ask us about multi-zone systems.
Can I heat one room and cool another at the same time?
No. On a multi-zone system like this one, every head works in the same mode, heating or cooling. Each room still keeps its own set temperature.
What happens when every room calls for heat?
They share the outdoor unit’s capacity: 13,200 BTU/h at −8 °C, 22,000 at −15 °C.
How many heads can I connect?
Up to 3 on this outdoor unit. This product is configured for 2 heads.
How much is the LogisVert grant?
$1,584 according to Hydro-Québec’s list of October 1, 2026. Indicative amount: only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted. The grant never exceeds 100 % of the cost before taxes; apply within 9 months of installation.
Is it ENERGY STAR certified?
Yes, cold climate, ID 3891562. It also meets the ENERGY STAR Most Efficient criteria, according to the ENERGY STAR database.
Down to what temperature does it heat?
Down to −25 °C.
Is it noisy?
Indoors, the reference head goes down to 22 dB(A). Outdoors, 51 dB(A): we place the unit away from bedroom windows.
Why a multi-zone instead of several wall units?
One outdoor unit on the wall and one circuit. In return, the rooms share the capacity, and if the outdoor unit stops, every zone stops.
What does the warranty cover?
Samsung 12-12-6 warranty: 12 years on the compressor, 12 years on parts and 6 years on labour. AirGreen extended warranty: possible.
A multi-zone system is planned room by room. At your home.
We measure every room, draw the line route and choose the right head for each zone. The on-site estimate is free and the quote arrives within 24 h.
