On your ducts, the Hylex Premium heats down to -25 °C and keeps 100% of its rated capacity down to -20 °C in 2 and 3 tons, per Samsung. ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified with its Samsung indoor unit: LogisVert from $1,980 to $4,680 as a central system, $1,812 and $2,592 as an add-on.
- ENERGY STAR cold climate, 2 to 5 t with the HH unit
- “Most Efficient”: six pairings
- SEER2 up to 17.5
SEER2 up to 17.5 and HSPF2 up to 9, per Samsung.

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 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.

The Premium as a central system or add-on: seven certified pairings.
With the HH unit, all four sizes are ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified. With the HC coil, the 2-, 3- and 4-ton are; the 5-ton is not on the list.

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.
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.
