A high-performance multi-zone solution designed for Quebec's climate
At AirGreen, we regularly install multi-zone systems to meet the realities of modern homes in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and the South Shore. The SAMSUNG Premium FJM 3-zone heat pump – 30,000 BTU stands out as a particularly effective solution when several spaces need to be cooled and heated with a single outdoor unit.
According to Samsung, this model is designed to deliver stable performance down to -25 °C, making it well suited to Quebec winters.
Why choose a multi-zone heat pump like the Samsung FJM?
Exceptional flexibility for houses and multi-unit buildings
The 3-zone configuration (expandable to 4 zones) can serve different rooms independently:
- Living room + bedroom + office
- Ground floor + upstairs + basement
- Condo with several separate spaces
Each zone can be controlled individually, allowing smart temperature management and a noticeable reduction in energy consumption.
A simplified, optimized installation
In our projects, we have often replaced several old wall air conditioners with a single FJM outdoor unit. The result:
- Less equipment outside
- A cleaner, more attractive installation
- Lower long-term maintenance costs
Detailed technical data and real-world performance
Here are the key technical points to understand for this model:
- Cooling capacity: 30,000 BTU
- Heating down to -25 °C, according to Samsung
- Output at -15 °C: up to 28,600 BTU/h
- Refrigerant: R-32 (low environmental impact)
- SEER2: up to 22.5 (wall-mounted heads, AHRI 216372793)
- HSPF2 (heating efficiency): up to 10 (wall-mounted heads, AHRI 216372793)
- BLDC twin-rotary inverter compressor
- Outdoor sound level: ~53 dB(A)
The inverter compressor continuously adjusts its output, avoiding frequent on/off cycles. This results in:
- Better temperature stability
- Lower electricity costs
- A longer system life
Winter performance: a critical point in Quebec
According to the manufacturer's data, the system:
- Maintains full capacity at -15 °C
- Keeps running down to -25 °C
- Includes a built-in base heater to prevent freezing during defrost cycles
Listed on NEEP (AHRI 216372801, all ducted heads): at -8 °C, rated capacity of 17,200 BTU/h (COP 2.75) and up to 28,600 BTU/h at full output; at -15 °C, up to 28,600 BTU/h (COP 1.81); at -25 °C, up to 20,500 BTU/h (COP 1.91).

AirGreen installation: field experience
A concrete example
We recently installed this heat pump in a single-family home:
- 3 wall units (9k + 12k + 12k BTU)
- Total refrigerant line: 85 feet
- Installation on a wall bracket with optimized clearance
Result:
- Uniform temperature throughout the house
- Sound level barely perceptible indoors
Common mistakes to avoid
Here is what we often correct during replacements:
- Incorrect sizing of indoor units
- Poorly planned piping length (max. 230 feet total according to the manufacturer)
- Installation that ignores vertical separation limits (max. 49 feet)
These mistakes greatly reduce the overall performance of the system.
Compatibility and indoor unit options
The FJM series supports a wide variety of units:
- WindFree wall units
- Ceiling cassettes
- Concealed ducted units (Slim duct)
- Consoles
This makes it suitable for all types of buildings:
- Single-family homes
- Condos

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: 17,200 BTU/h at −8 °C, 28,600 at −15 °C.
How many heads can I connect?
Up to 4 on this outdoor unit. This product is configured for 3 heads.
How much is the LogisVert grant?
$2,064 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 3891568. 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.
