A high-performance multi-zone HVAC solution designed for the Quebec climate
At AirGreen, we regularly install multi-zone systems in residences in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on 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 seeking performance, flexibility, and energy efficiency.
This outdoor model (AJ036DXS4CG/AA) is designed to power 2 independent zones, while offering the possibility of expanding up to 4 zones maximum, making it an ideal solution for homes with multiple spaces to cool or heat differently.
Exceptional heating performance even at -25°C
One of the most important criteria for our customers in Quebec is winter performance. This heat pump is ENERGY STAR® Cold Climate certified, meaning it is designed to operate efficiently even in extreme conditions.
- Heating capacity down to -25°C
- Performance maintained at -15°C with 100% nominal capacity
- Power at -15°C: 34,600 BTU
- COP at -8°C: 11.813
In our installations in Laval and on the North Shore, we have observed that this model significantly reduces the use of electric baseboards, even during intense cold snaps.
Energy efficiency that translates into real savings
The SAMSUNG Premium FJM stands out for its advanced energy performance:
- SEER2: up to 20+ (depending on configuration)
- HSPF2: up to 10.5
- R-32 refrigerant with low environmental impact
- AI Energy mode via SmartThings, allowing up to 20% additional savings
In a recent project in Longueuil, a client replaced an old inefficient central system with this multi-zone heat pump. The result: a reduction of more than 30% on their winter energy bill, combined with improved comfort in the main rooms.
The real advantage: intelligent multi-zone control
Unlike a classic central system, this heat pump allows independent control of each zone:
- Warmer living room in winter
- Cooler bedrooms at night
- Basement adjusted according to occupancy
This zoning principle is particularly effective for reducing energy costs, as it avoids heating or cooling unused spaces.
At AirGreen, we recommend this type of system for:
- Multi-story houses
- Duplexes / triplexes
- Properties with an extension or recent addition
- Spaces with different thermal needs
Advanced technology for superior comfort
Variable speed inverter compressor
Inverter technology allows for precise power adjustment:
- Stable temperature
- Fewer on/off cycles
- Reduced noise and consumption
Silent operation
- Outdoor sound level: 53 dB(A)
- Indoor level: up to 22 dB(A)
We have installed this model in several residential areas of Montreal (Outremont, Plateau, Rosemont) where silence is an essential criterion — customer feedback is very positive.
SmartThings: intelligent control
Thanks to the SmartThings app:
- Remote control
- Consumption monitoring
- Intelligent automatic adjustments
This allows our customers to optimize their comfort even remotely, particularly in secondary residences on the South Shore.
Flexible installation adapted to your property
One of the major advantages of the FJM series is its installation flexibility:
Simplified connection
- Home-run system without complex branching
- Fewer energy losses
- Faster and cleaner installation
Compatibility with several types of indoor units
This heat pump can be combined with:
- Wall-mounted (high-wall)
- Ceiling cassette
- Console (radiator replacement)
- Ducts (Slim Duct or Air Handler)
This allows us, at AirGreen, to create tailor-made solutions for each residential configuration.
Key technical data to know
Here are the essential elements for an informed decision:
- Capacity: 36,000 BTU
- Voltage: 220V
- MCA: 36A
- MOP: 40A
- Maximum piping length: 230 feet
- Max vertical separation: 49 feet
- Compressor: Twin BLDC Rotary Inverter
These specifications are particularly important in complex projects, such as multi-story homes or multiplexes in Montreal.
Concrete example of AirGreen installation
Project completed in Boucherville (South Shore)
- Property: 2-story single-family home
- Need: heat and cool the ground floor and upper floor independently

Results:
- Stable comfort in all rooms
- Significant noise reduction compared to the old system
- LogisVert subsidy obtained: $2,472
Common mistakes to avoid
In our field experience, several mistakes often recur:
1. Incorrect BTU distribution per zone
Improper sizing leads to discomfort and overconsumption.
2. Choosing a system not adapted to the climate
Some non-"cold climate" models fail below -20°C.
3. Non-optimized installation
Excessive duct length or poor unit positioning.
At AirGreen, we correct these errors 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. 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?
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.
