01 · My Hylex system

Six certified Premium systems: pick the install and the size.

Pick your options to see the models, the AHRI number, the heat at -8 °C, the LogisVert amount when there is one, and what to plan for.

1Your installation?
2What capacity?

Capacity is worked out during the visit, from the house and your ducts. Samsung recommends a two-stage thermostat.

For all: heating down to -25 °C per Samsung; MXD-U001XN control unit required, sold separately.

02 · Cold, measured

From 8 °C to -25 °C: the heat each Premium keeps.

For every Premium with the HH unit, ENERGY STAR and NEEP publish the heat output at several temperatures. Pick a size: the thermometer comes down on its own, or tap a temperature.

Yes, the -15 °C rating can top the -8 °C one. ENERGY STAR and NEEP publish each test point as is, and no source explains the gap: read each temperature on its own. Percentages: AirGreen calculation.

Source: ENERGY STAR (w7cv-9xjt), records 218158146 to 218158149 re-read Oct. 26, 2026 (heat at 47, 17 and 5 °F); NEEP, read by AHRI number on Oct. 14, 2026 (minimum, rated and maximum at each point; maximum at -13 °F); ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria; Hydro-Québec’s LogisVert list.

03 · Efficiency in the cold

For 1 kWh of electricity, how much heat? It depends on the cold.

COP is the heat delivered for each unit of electricity. NEEP publishes it at four temperatures for every Premium. Pick a size, then a temperature.

1 kWhof electricity
3.50 kWh of heat
3,50COP

1 kWh → 1 kWh Electric resistance heat, like a baseboard or a heat kit: 1 kWh of heat per kWh, per the US Department of Energy.

COP is heat delivered divided by electricity used: 1 kW of electricity moving 3 kW of heat gives a COP of 3, per Natural Resources Canada. The 4-ton Premium reaches 2.14 at -25 °C, more than at -15 °C (2.06): the best deep-cold COP of any Hylex listed by NEEP.

Source: NEEP, records 218158146 to 218158149 read by AHRI number on Oct. 14, 2026 (COP at 47, 17, 5 and -13 °F; at 5 °F, same as ENERGY STAR); Natural Resources Canada, “Heating and cooling with a heat pump”; ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria; US DOE, “Electric Resistance Heating”.

04 · Montreal winters

Where the Premium keeps its full output.

The thresholds Samsung states for the Premium, set against real Montreal cold: 100% of rated capacity down to -20 °C for 2 and 3 tons, -10 °C for 4 and 5 tons, heating down to -25 °C.

Montreal drops below -10 °C about 60 days a year and below -20 °C about 12 days (1991-2020). For the 2- or 3-ton Premium, Samsung claims 100% of rated capacity down to -20 °C: a low Montreal only goes past about a dozen days a year. Below -25 °C, its limit, the heat kits or the furnace take over.

05 · Hydro-Québec LogisVert

Six Premium systems in our store, six amounts: $1,812 to $4,680.

ENERGY STAR cold climate: $120 per 1,000 BTU/h of heat at -8 °C. The 5-ton add-on is not on the ENERGY STAR list. Pick a system to see the math.

11 · Plan for

For a certified Premium: the right indoor unit, and the ACU.

Certification follows the pairing listed under its AHRI number. Samsung says so: the Premium must be matched with the right indoor components to meet ENERGY STAR criteria.

FirstThe right pairing

Samsung says so in its brochure: the Premium “must be matched with appropriate coil components to meet ENERGY STAR criteria”. On your quote, the pairing’s AHRI number.

AlwaysThe MXD-U001XN control unit

Required by Samsung on every Hylex, even with its own indoor unit, and sold separately. We include it in the quote.

AlwaysA 24 V thermostat

A standard 24 V thermostat or a Samsung communicating control. Samsung recommends two stages.

With an HC coilThe HA00A00203H1 mitigation controller

Required by Samsung, sold separately. The detector is in the coil; the controller shuts the system down and runs the mitigation.

12 · The Hylex collections

The other Hylex pages, seen from the Premium.

The Standard to compare, the add-on to keep your furnace, the HH unit to replace an electric furnace.

13 · True or false

The Hylex Premium, in six claims.

True or false? Flip the cards.

0/ 6

Pick True or False: the card flips to show the answer and its source.

01

The 3-ton Premium can heat up to 55,000 BTU/h.

02

The 2- and 3-ton Premium still cool at 52 °C outside.

03

The Premium is ENERGY STAR with any coil.

04

At -15 °C, the certified 3-ton Premium heats harder than at 8 °C.

05

The 2-ton Premium is as quiet as the 2-ton Standard.

06

In the ENERGY STAR database, the 3-ton Premium with the HH unit meets the “Most Efficient” criteria.

14 · Frequently asked questions

What people ask about the Hylex Premium.

No. With the HH unit, all four sizes are certified; with the HC coil, the 2-, 3- and 4-ton. The 5-ton add-on is not on the ENERGY STAR list. Certification and the amount follow the AHRI number of the pairing installed.

It’s a field in the ENERGY STAR database, “meets_most_efficient_criteria”. It says “Yes” for the four Premium systems with the HH unit and for the 2- and 3-ton add-ons; “No” for the 4-ton add-on.

Per ENERGY STAR, 23,000 to 43,000 BTU/h depending on size and indoor unit, with a COP of 1.87 to 2.06.

Because its ENERGY STAR heat rating at -8 °C is higher: 21,600 BTU/h with the HC48MBC021H1 coil, against 21,000 with the HH36MACC11H1 unit. At $120 per 1,000 BTU/h, that’s $2,592 against $2,520.
