A high-end multi-zone solution perfectly suited to Quebec's climate
At AirGreen, we regularly install multi-zone HVAC systems in properties in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and the South Shore, and the SAMSUNG Premium FJM 36,000 BTU Heat Pump is one of the most efficient solutions for modern residences.
This outdoor model AJ036DXS4CG/AA is designed to power up to 3 independent zones (expandable to 4), offering precise comfort control in multiple rooms without multiplying outdoor units.
Unlike traditional systems, this heat pump allows for intelligent temperature management, a significant reduction in energy costs, and exceptional installation flexibility.
Why this Samsung FJM heat pump is a strategic choice in Quebec
Heating performance down to -25°C
One of the most critical points for customers in Montreal and its surroundings is winter performance. This model offers:
- Effective heating capacity down to -25°C
- Maintenance of high performance even at low temperatures
- Stable heat production thanks to the advanced Inverter compressor
According to technical data, the system can provide significant heating capacity even at very low temperatures.
At AirGreen, we have installed this model in several duplexes in Laval and Longueuil, where customers have seen a significant reduction in their electric heating usage.
Superior energy efficiency and real savings
This heat pump features:
- SEER2 up to 18.5+
- HSPF2 up to 9.5 (depending on configuration)
- ENERGY STAR® + Cold Climate certified
Concretely, this means:
- Less electricity consumption for both cooling AND heating
- Eligibility for subsidies like LogisVert ($2472)
- Reduction of monthly costs in the long term
FJM systems are designed to offer maximum efficiency thanks to a variable-speed compressor that precisely adjusts power according to the building's real needs.
Exceptional flexibility: 3 independent zones
Precise room-by-room control
The FJM multi-zone system allows for:
- One outdoor unit for 3 indoor units
- Independent temperatures in each zone
- Energy savings by avoiding unnecessary heating/cooling
This is ideal for:
- Multi-story homes
- Duplexes and triplexes
- Properties with extensions or finished basements
We recently installed this system in a house in Boucherville (South Shore) where:
- The living room required more air conditioning
- The bedrooms needed constant heating
- The basement had completely different needs
Result: uniform comfort and optimized consumption.
Extended compatibility of indoor units
A major advantage of the Samsung FJM system:
- Compatible with wall-mounted units, consoles, ducted units (Slim Duct), cassettes
- Possibility to adapt each room with the ideal unit type
For example:
- Living room: WindFree™ wall-mounted unit
- Bedroom: quiet, low-capacity unit
- Basement: discreet Slim duct
This flexibility is confirmed in Samsung's compatibility charts.

Twin BLDC Rotary Inverter Compressor
The heart of the system is a Twin BLDC Rotary Inverter compressor, offering:
- Soft-start
- Reduction of consumption peaks
- Quieter operation
- Increased longevity
WindFree™ Technology: draft-free comfort
Compatible units can integrate WindFree™ technology:
- Air diffusion via micro-perforations
- Elimination of direct drafts
- Uniform thermal comfort
This is particularly appreciated in bedrooms or workspaces.
SmartThings: intelligent control and energy monitoring
The system includes integrated WiFi:
- Remote control via application
- Energy consumption monitoring
- Intelligent automatic adjustments
The application even allows for optimized consumption through intelligent algorithms.
HVAC Installation: What You Need to Know

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 3 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.
