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 premium multi-zone solution built for 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 homes and plexes in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore and the South Shore, where comfort needs vary from one room to the next.
This system stands out for its ability to serve up to 3 independent zones while maintaining high energy efficiency, even when temperatures drop to -25 °C. It is a particularly good fit for:
- Multi-storey homes with different needs in each room
- Duplexes and triplexes
- Properties with additions or renovations
- Customers who want to replace several individual wall units
Why choose a Samsung FJM multi-zone heat pump?
Smart room-by-room comfort control
Unlike a traditional central system, FJM (Free Joint Multi) technology connects several indoor units to a single outdoor unit. This means:
- Independent temperature control in each zone
- Reduced energy losses
- Comfort optimized for how each space is actually used
This zoning approach is particularly effective at lowering energy costs, because it avoids heating or cooling rooms that don't need it.
Exceptional heating performance, even in winter
The SAMSUNG Premium FJM offers:
- Heating down to -25 °C, according to Samsung
- 100% of capacity maintained at -15 °C, according to Samsung
- Heating output of up to 22,000 BTU
In our installations, we have seen this system effectively replace electric or oil heating while improving comfort.
Key technical data: a heat pump built to last
Energy performance
- SEER2: up to 23
- HSPF2: up to 10.5
- EER2: up to 15
- ENERGY STAR® (Cold Climate) certification
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 performance gives it access to Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program: indicative LogisVert amount of $1,584 (Hydro-Québec list of October 14, 2026). Only Hydro-Québec confirms the assistance granted.
Key specifications
- Cooling capacity: 20,000 BTU
- Refrigerant: R-32 (low GWP)
- Voltage: 220V
- Outdoor sound level: ≈ 51 dB(A)
- Compressor: BLDC twin-rotary inverter
The inverter compressor constantly adjusts its output to hold a steady temperature, avoiding energy-wasting on/off cycles.
Exceptional installation flexibility
Up to 3 independent zones
This outdoor unit can connect:
- 3 wall units (7K, 9K, 12K or 15K BTU)
- Or a combination with cassette, console or ducted 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 tailor the configuration to:
- The actual floor area
- The insulation
- Sun exposure
- How the rooms are used
Simplified installation (fewer risks, more reliability)
Thanks to home-run piping, there is no complex branching:
- Fewer connections = lower risk of leaks
- Faster installation
- Better overall performance
We recently installed this model in a triplex where the old system needed several compressors. The result:
- Less equipment outside
- Lower noise
- Better energy efficiency
Advanced technology and modern comfort
SmartThings: smart control
The system includes Wi-Fi and integrates with SmartThings, allowing:
- Remote control from your phone
- Energy consumption tracking
- Smart automation
The AI Energy Mode feature automatically adjusts the operating settings.
Soft start and electrical protection
- Soft-start to limit electrical peaks
- Current-limiting option
- Automatic restart after a power outage
These features are essential to avoid electrical issues in older homes in Montreal.
Long-term reliability and durability
Rugged construction
- Galvanized steel casing
- Anti-corrosion coating tested up to 240 hours
- Copper-aluminum heat exchanger
Built-in safety systems
- Overvoltage protection
- Compressor overload detection
- Smart thermal control
These features significantly reduce service calls, which we see first-hand with our customers.
Real AirGreen experience: an installation example
During one project, we replaced:
- 3 old independent wall heat pumps
- With a single Samsung FJM Premium 3-zone
Concrete results:
- Better temperature control in the bedrooms
- Less outdoor noise
The customer mainly wanted an attractive and efficient solution: mission accomplished.
Common mistakes to avoid with this type of system
Incorrect sizing
A poorly sized multi-zone system leads to:
- Loss of performance
- Poor air distribution
- Premature wear
At AirGreen, we always carry out an on-site assessment of heating needs before installation.
Wrong combination of indoor units
Not every combination is optimal. For example:
- Too many small units = loss of efficiency
- Poor BTU balance = discomfort
We use the official technical tables to ensure 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. 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.
