A High-End Multi-Zone Solution Perfectly Suited to Quebec's Realities
In Quebec's demanding climate, choosing a high-performance multi-zone heat pump is not a luxury, but a necessity. At AirGreen, we regularly install the SAMSUNG Premium FJM 3-zone heat pump (20,000 BTU) in residential properties and plexes in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore, where thermal comfort needs vary from room to room.
This system stands out for its ability to power up to 3 independent zones, while maintaining high energy efficiency, even when temperatures drop to -25°C. It is a particularly relevant solution for:
- Multi-story houses with different needs per room
- Duplexes or triplexes
- Properties with extensions or renovations
- Customers looking to replace several individual wall-mounted units
Why choose a Samsung FJM multi-zone heat pump?
Intelligent comfort management room by room
Unlike a traditional central system, FJM (Free Joint Multi) technology allows multiple indoor units to be connected to a single outdoor unit. This means:
- Independent temperature control in each zone
- Reduced energy loss
- Optimized comfort based on actual space occupancy
This zoning principle is particularly effective in reducing energy costs, as it avoids unnecessarily heating or cooling certain rooms.
Exceptional heating performance even in winter
The SAMSUNG Premium FJM heat pump offers:
- Heating capacity down to -25°C
- 100% capacity maintained at -15°C
- Heating power up to 22,000 BTU
In our installations in Montreal and on the South Shore, we have observed that this system effectively replaces electric or oil-fired systems while improving thermal comfort.
Key technical data: a heat pump designed to last
Energy performance
- SEER2: up to 23
- HSPF2: up to 10.5
- EER2: up to 15
- ENERGY STAR® (Cold Climate) certification
These performances allow access to attractive subsidies such as the LogisVert program ($1584).
Important specifications
- Cooling capacity: 20,000 BTU
- Refrigerant: R-32 (low GWP)
- Voltage: 220V
- Outdoor sound level: ≈ 51 dB(A)
- Compressor: Twin Rotary BLDC Inverter
The Inverter compressor constantly adjusts its power to maintain a stable temperature, avoiding energy-intensive on/off cycles.
Exceptional installation flexibility
Up to 3 independent zones
This outdoor unit allows connection of:
- 3 wall-mounted units (7K, 9K, 12K or 15K BTU)
- Or a combination with cassette, console or duct units
According to the combination table, you can configure for example:
- 7K + 7K + 7K = 21K BTU
- 9K + 9K + 9K = 27K BTU
At AirGreen, we always adapt the configuration based on:
- Actual surface area
- Insulation
- Sun exposure
- Room usage
Simplified installation (fewer risks, more reliability)
Thanks to the home-run piping system, there is no complex branching:
- Fewer connections = fewer leak risks
- Faster installation
- Better overall performance
We recently installed this model in a triplex in Villeray (Montreal) where the old system required several compressors. The result:
- Reduced outdoor clutter
- Reduced noise
- Improved energy efficiency
Advanced technology and modern comfort
SmartThings: intelligent control
The system includes WiFi and integrates with SmartThings, allowing:
- Remote control via phone
- Energy consumption monitoring
- Smart automation
The AI Energy Mode function can reduce consumption by up to 20% by automatically adjusting settings.
Soft start and electrical protection
- Soft-start to limit electrical peaks
- Current limiting option
- Automatic restart after power failure
These elements are essential to avoid problems in older residential installations in Montreal.
Reliability and durability over time
Robust construction
- Galvanized steel casing
- Anti-corrosion coating tested up to 240 hours
- Copper-aluminum heat exchanger
Integrated safety systems
- Overvoltage protection
- Compressor overload detection
- Intelligent thermal control
These elements significantly reduce service calls, which we directly observe with our customers.
AirGreen Real Experience: North Shore Installation
During a project in Blainville, we replaced:
- 3 old independent wall-mounted heat pumps
- With a single Samsung FJM Premium 3-zone
Concrete results:
- Energy consumption reduced by approximately 28%
- Better temperature control in the bedrooms
- Reduced outdoor noise
The client mainly wanted an aesthetic and efficient solution: mission accomplished.
Common mistakes to avoid with this type of system
Incorrect sizing
An improperly sized multi-zone system leads to:
- Loss of performance
- Poor air distribution
- Premature wear
At AirGreen, we always perform a complete thermal analysis before installation.
Incorrect combination of indoor units
Not all combinations are optimal. For example:
- Too many small units = loss of efficiency
- Incorrect BTU balance = discomfort
We use official technical tables to guarantee an optimal configuration.

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 3 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.
