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, Longueuil, on the North Shore and South Shore, and the SAMSUNG Premium FJM 20,000 BTU heat pump stands out as a particularly attractive solution for projects requiring flexibility, performance, and precise control of indoor comfort.
This AJ020DXS3CG/AA outdoor model is designed to power 2 independent zones, with the possibility of expanding to 3 zones, making it a strategic choice for homeowners looking to optimize their comfort without multiplying outdoor units.
Why Choose an FJM Multi-Zone Heat Pump in Montreal and Surroundings
Intelligent Zone Comfort Management
Unlike traditional systems, FJM (Free Joint Multi) technology allows multiple indoor units to be connected to a single outdoor unit. This means:
- Independent temperature in each room
- Reduced energy consumption
- Personalized comfort according to actual space usage
In a recent project in Boucherville (South Shore), we installed this model for a duplex. The client wanted to air condition the living room and master bedroom without installing two separate systems. The result: a cleaner, quieter installation and measurable energy cost reduction from the first month.
Real Performance in Heating and Air Conditioning in Quebec
Capacity Adapted to Harsh Winters
This Samsung Premium FJM heat pump is designed to operate efficiently down to -25°C, which is essential for winters in Montreal and Laval.
Key data:
- Heating capacity: up to 22,000 BTU
- Capacity at -15°C: 22,000 BTU maintained
- Capacity at -8°C: 13,200 BTU
This performance maintenance is made possible by the Twin BLDC inverter compressor, which continuously adjusts power according to real demand.
Advanced Energy Efficiency
- SEER2: up to 23 (depending on configuration)
- HSPF2: up to 10.5
- ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate: Yes
In concrete terms, this means:
- Significant reduction in electricity costs
- Eligibility for subsidies like LogisVert (up to $1,584)
Advanced Samsung Technology: More Than Just a Heat Pump
Inverter Compressor and Thermal Stability
Inverter technology allows for:
- Fewer temperature variations
- Quieter operation
- Reduced electricity consumption
According to the Samsung brochure, this type of compressor allows for more precise control of heating and cooling, with fewer on/off cycles.
SmartThings: Intelligent Remote Control
With integrated WiFi:
- Control via mobile app
- Energy consumption monitoring
- Automatic adjustment according to your habits
In several installations in Laval, our customers use this feature to reduce their consumption when they are away, with measurable savings.
Exceptional Installation Flexibility
Simplified Connections and Optimized Installation
The system uses a home-run (direct lines) configuration:
- No complex branch connections needed
- Fewer energy losses
- Faster and more reliable installation
At AirGreen, this allows us to:
- Reduce installation errors
- Accelerate commissioning
- Minimize future interventions
Compatibility with Multiple Types of Indoor Units
This heat pump can be combined with:
- WindFree™ wall-mounted units
- Consoles
- Ceiling cassettes
- Ducts (concealed)
This allows the system to be perfectly adapted to each type of property, whether it's a condo in Longueuil or a house on the North Shore.
Robust Design Adapted to the Quebec Climate
Durability and Protection
- Galvanized steel structure with anticorrosion coating
- Tested according to ISO-9227 standard (corrosion resistance)
- Protection against overload, overvoltage, and extreme temperatures
Optimized Defrost Management
- Integrated heated drain pan
- Efficient drainage of defrost water
In several installations in Montreal, this has prevented problematic ice accumulation observed on less performing models.
Essential Technical Data
- Capacity: 20,000 BTU
- Voltage: 208-230V
- MCA: 35.9 A
- Max breaker: 40 A
- Outdoor sound level: 50–51 dB
- Max line length: 230 feet
These characteristics offer great flexibility for complex installations, especially in multi-dwelling buildings.
AirGreen Experience Feedback: Mistakes to Avoid
Improper Zone Distribution
A common mistake is to improperly balance the capacities of the indoor units. For example:
- Too much capacity in a small room
- Not enough in an open space
During a project in Ahuntsic, we corrected an existing installation where a bedroom had an oversized unit, causing short cycling and poor dehumidification.
Neglecting Outdoor Unit Placement
Improper placement can lead to:
- High perceived noise
- Poor air circulation
- Snow accumulation
At AirGreen, we prioritize:
- Sturdy wall mounts or elevated 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. 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?
Our sheet lists 12 years on the compressor and 12 years on parts; labour is not included by the manufacturer. 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.
