A High-Performance Multi-Zone Solution Designed for Quebec's Climate
At AirGreen, we regularly install multi-zone systems to meet the demands 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 it comes to cooling and heating multiple spaces with a single outdoor unit.
This model is designed to offer stable performance down to -25°C, making it a perfect choice for Quebec winters. Unlike some systems that quickly lose capacity, this one maintains high efficiency even in extreme conditions.
Why choose a multi-zone heat pump like the Samsung FJM?
Exceptional flexibility for homes and multi-unit dwellings
The 3-zone configuration (expandable up to 4 zones) allows different rooms to be powered independently:
- Living room + bedroom + office
- Ground floor + upstairs + basement
- Condo with several distinct spaces
Each zone can be controlled individually, allowing for intelligent temperature management and a significant reduction in energy consumption.
Simplified and optimized installation
In our projects in Longueuil and Laval, we often replaced several old wall-mounted air conditioners with a single FJM outdoor unit. The result:
- Less outdoor clutter
- Cleaner and more aesthetic installation
- Reduced long-term maintenance costs
Detailed Technical Data and Real Performance
Here are the essential technical elements to understand for this model:
- Cooling Capacity: 30,000 BTU
- Heating capacity down to -25°C
- Power at -15°C: 28,600 BTU
- Refrigerant: R-32 (low environmental impact)
- SEER2: up to 22.5 (depending on configuration)
- HSPF2: up to 10 (heating efficiency)
- Twin Rotary BLDC Inverter Compressor
- Outdoor sound level: ~53 dB(A)
The Inverter compressor continuously adjusts its power, avoiding frequent on/off cycles. This results in:
- Better temperature stability
- Reduced electricity costs
- Extended system lifespan
Winter Performance: A Critical Point in Quebec
According to manufacturer data, the system:
- Maintains full capacity at -15°C
- Continues to operate down to -25°C
- Includes an integrated base heater to prevent freezing during defrost cycles
At AirGreen, we have found that this type of configuration is particularly effective in wind-exposed areas, such as certain parts of the South Shore.
Advanced Technology and Features
Smart management with SmartThings
The system allows for:
- Energy consumption monitoring
- Remote control via mobile application

This allows our Montreal and Laval clients to better manage their energy costs, especially during winter.
Security and detection system
An often overlooked element: refrigerant safety.
- Compatible with R-32 leak detectors
- Integrated alert system
- Advanced electronic protection
Soft Start
This function reduces electrical demand at startup, which:
- Protects electrical installations
- Avoids consumption spikes
- Improves home network stability
AirGreen Installation: Field Experience
Concrete example in Boucherville (South Shore)
We recently installed this heat pump in a single-family home:
- 3 wall-mounted units (9k + 12k + 12k BTU)
- Total refrigerant line: 85 feet
- Installation on wall bracket with optimized clearance
Result:
- Uniform temperature throughout the house
- 28% reduction in heating costs compared to an electric system
- Almost imperceptible indoor noise level
Frequent errors to avoid
We often correct these problems during replacements:
- Incorrect sizing of indoor units
- Incorrectly calculated piping length (max 230 feet total according to the manufacturer)
- Installation without respecting vertical separations (max 49 feet)
These errors significantly reduce the overall performance of the system.
Compatibility and indoor unit options
The FJM series offers a wide variety of units:
- WindFree wall-mounted
- Ceiling cassettes
- Concealed ducts (Slim duct)
- Consoles
This allows it to adapt to 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. 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?
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.
