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 96 % of its rated capacity, according to Samsung’s figures listed on NEEP.

A High-Performance Multi-Zone HVAC Solution Designed for the Quebec Climate
At AirGreen, we regularly install multi-zone systems in homes in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore, and the SAMSUNG Premium FJM 36,000 BTU heat pump stands out as a particularly strategic choice for homeowners looking for performance, flexibility and energy efficiency.
This outdoor model (AJ036DXS4CG/AA) is designed to serve 2 independent zones, with the option of expanding to a maximum of 4 zones, which makes it an ideal solution for homes with several spaces that need to be cooled or heated differently.
Exceptional Heating Performance Even at -25 °C
One of the most important criteria for our clients in Quebec is winter performance. This heat pump is ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate certified, which means it is designed to operate efficiently even in extreme conditions.
- Heating capacity down to -25 °C according to Samsung
- Performance maintained at -15 °C with 100% of rated capacity according to Samsung
- Output at -15 °C: up to 34,600 BTU/h
- COP at -8 °C: 2.45
Listed on NEEP (AHRI 216372800, all ducted heads): at -8 °C, rated capacity of 20,600 BTU/h (COP 2.45) and up to 34,600 BTU/h at full output; at -15 °C, up to 34,600 BTU/h (COP 1.81); at -25 °C, up to 20,500 BTU/h (COP 1.91).
In our installations, we have seen this model considerably reduce the use of electric baseboards, even during intense cold snaps.
High Energy Efficiency
The SAMSUNG Premium FJM stands out for its advanced energy performance:
- SEER2: 18.5 (AHRI 216372800, all ducted heads) to 21.5 (AHRI 216372792, all wall-mounted heads)
- HSPF2: 8.5 to 9.5 (same listings)
- EER2: 11.7 to 12.5 (same listings)
- Uses R-32, a low environmental impact refrigerant
- The AI Energy mode via SmartThings
In a recent project, a client replaced an old, inefficient central system with this multi-zone heat pump. The result: better comfort in the main rooms.
The Real Advantage: Smart Multi-Zone Control
Unlike a conventional central system, this heat pump lets you control each zone independently:
- A warmer living room in winter
- Cooler bedrooms at night
- A basement adjusted to occupancy
This zoning principle is particularly effective at reducing energy costs, since it avoids heating or cooling unused spaces.
At AirGreen, we recommend this type of system for:
- Multi-storey homes
- Duplexes / triplexes
- Properties with an extension or recent addition
- Spaces with different heating and cooling needs
Advanced Technology for Superior Comfort
Variable-Speed Inverter Compressor
Inverter technology allows precise output adjustment:
- Stable temperature
- Fewer on/off cycles
- Less noise and lower consumption
Quiet Operation
- Outdoor sound level: 53 dB(A)
- Indoor level: as low as 23 dB(A)
We have installed this model in several residential neighbourhoods where quiet is an essential criterion, and client feedback has been very positive.
SmartThings: Smart Control
With the SmartThings app:
- Remote control
- Consumption tracking
- Smart automatic adjustments
This lets our clients optimize their comfort even from a distance, notably in secondary residences.
A Flexible Installation Adapted to Your Property
One of the big advantages of the FJM series is its installation flexibility:
Simplified Connection
- A home-run system with no complex branching
- Fewer energy losses
- A faster, cleaner installation
Compatible with Several Types of Indoor Units
This heat pump can be paired with:
- Wall-mounted (high-wall)
- Ceiling cassette
- Console (radiator replacement)
- Ducted (Slim Duct or Air Handler)
This allows us at AirGreen to create custom solutions for each residential configuration.
Key Technical Data to Know
Here are the essential elements for an informed decision:
- Capacity: 36,000 BTU
- Voltage: 220 V
- MCA: 36 A
- MOP: 40 A
- Maximum piping length: 230 feet
- Maximum vertical separation: 49 feet
- Compressor: Twin BLDC Rotary Inverter
These specifications are particularly important in complex projects, such as multi-storey homes or multiplexes in Montreal.
A Concrete AirGreen Installation Example
Completed Project
- Property: two-storey single-family home
- Need: heat and cool the ground floor and the upper floor independently
- Solution: FJM Premium 36,000 BTU with 2 wall-mounted units
Results:
- Steady comfort in every room
- Significantly less noise than the old system
Common Mistakes to Avoid
In our field experience, several mistakes come up often:
1. Poor Distribution of BTUs by Zone
Incorrect sizing leads to discomfort and overconsumption.
2. Choosing a System Not Suited to the Climate
In Quebec, the choice of system must take real winter temperatures into account.
3. Non-Optimized Installation
Excessive duct length or poor placement of the units.
At AirGreen, we correct these mistakes right from the design phase.

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: 20,600 BTU/h at −8 °C, 34,600 at −15 °C.
How many heads can I connect?
Up to 4 on this outdoor unit. This product is configured for 2 heads.
How much is the LogisVert grant?
$2,472 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 3891567. 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, 53 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.
