01 · Where to start

Two questions, and we take you to the right Hylex page.

What heats your home today decides almost everything. Answer, and the switch does the rest.

02 · My Hylex system

Install, range, capacity: your Hylex in three choices.

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?
2Which range?
3What 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.

03 · Two paths

Keep the furnace, or replace it: two paths.

Gas, oil or propane furnace: we add an HC coil to it. Electric furnace: the HH unit takes its place. The rest of the page follows those two paths.

HCGas, oil or propane furnace: it stays

A Hylex coil (HC series) goes on the furnace. With this coil, Samsung requires the HA00A00203H1 mitigation controller. We don’t touch the burner or the gas or oil supply.

Central on your furnace
HHElectric furnace: the HH unit takes its place

The Hylex air handler (HH series) connects to your ducts. Detector and mitigation built in, per Samsung; optional 5 to 20 kW heat kits.

Electric furnace replaced
04 · How it works

On your ducts, from basement to living room.

The Hylex outside, an air handler or a coil on the furnace inside, and your ducts to deliver. Switch between heating and cooling, and between the two ways to install it.

05 · Premium or Standard

Premium: more efficient, and the only one of the two eligible for LogisVert.

Same tonnages, same R-454B, same -25 °C. Premium is more efficient, keeps full capacity lower in 2 and 3 tons and gets LogisVert, except the 5-ton add-on.

06 · The ton, explained

A “ton” is ice melting over a day.

Central heat pumps come in 2 to 5 tons, but tons of what? Slide: we translate into BTU/h, kilowatts, ice, and Hylex.

A ton of refrigeration is 12,000 BTU/h, about 3.5 kW. Per ASHRAE, that is roughly the heat it takes to melt a short ton of ice (2,000 lb). Over 24 hours: 12,000 × 24 = 288,000 BTU, and ice takes 143.5 BTU per pound to melt, so 287,000 BTU.

24 h

Let go of the slider: the day runs and the ice melts.

07 · How far can it go?

164 ft of line, 98 ft of rise: place the outdoor unit.

Move the outdoor unit away from the house, then raise it. We work out the refrigerant to add, model by model, with Samsung’s rules.

AirGreen calculation with Samsung’s rule: (length in feet − 24.6) × 0.5 oz. The actual charge is weighed and recorded at start-up. Minimum length: not published in the documents we checked. A curious fact: Samsung’s printed maximum charge equals, within an ounce, the factory charge plus 164 ft of line.

08 · The outdoor unit in winter

Snow, ice, salt and your panel: what the outdoor unit handles.

All eight Hylex units share the same settings and protection outside. Switch between winter and summer, then tap a point on the unit.

SAMSUNG

Base pan heater, standard

On every unit, to drain water well during defrost, per Samsung. NEEP lists 150 W for this heater.

Tap a number. All eight Hylex units, Standard and Premium, share these six points.

09 · Plan for

What every Hylex needs, and what depends on the path.

One part is in every quote: the MXD-U001XN control unit. The rest depends on the indoor unit.

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 the HH unitA heat kit, optional

5 to 20 kW depending on the model. For 15 and 20 kW, Samsung offers the HA15B0CH1 single-point breaker kit.

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.

10 · Sound

Outside, between 50 and 58 dB(A).

The sound level of each Hylex, in cooling and heating. The difference comes mostly from tonnage.

11 · Hydro-Québec LogisVert

LogisVert: Premium only, and it depends on the indoor unit.

Premium is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified with its Samsung indoor unit. Standard is not: no amount. Pick a system to see the math and your deadline.

ENERGY STAR cold climate: $120 / 1,000 BTU/hNo amount (reason shown)
ENERGY STAR required

For installations completed on or after November 26, 2025, the unit must be ENERGY STAR certified.

12,000 BTU/h minimum

The outdoor unit needs a nominal cooling capacity of at least 12,000 BTU/h.

Nine months to apply

Apply no later than nine months after installation. The grant never exceeds 100% of the pre-tax cost.

The AHRI number decides

The amount follows the installed combination, outdoor and indoor, as listed under its AHRI number.

16 · Frequently asked questions

What people ask about Hylex central systems.

In a central install, the Hylex air handler (HH) replaces the electric furnace. In an add-on, a Hylex coil (HC) goes on the furnace you keep, and the furnace takes over when needed.

With Samsung’s HH and HC indoor units, no Hylex Standard is listed with ENERGY STAR, and LogisVert requires certification for installs since November 26, 2025.

Down to -25 °C (-13 °F) for the whole range, per Samsung. Per its spec sheets, the 2- and 3-ton Premium keep 100% of rated capacity down to -20 °C; the others, down to -10 °C (Standard 5-ton: not stated).

A standard 24 V thermostat, ideally two-stage per Samsung, or a Samsung communicating control. The MXD-U001XN control unit is required.

No. Hydro-Québec’s guide excludes replacing a single coil or a single indoor or outdoor unit. The amount follows the complete combination installed, under its AHRI number.

The HH unit has its leak detector and mitigation control built in. With an HC coil, Samsung requires the HA00A00203H1 mitigation controller.

No. In an add-on, we install the coil on the furnace and the heat pump outside; we don’t touch the burner or the gas or oil supply.

Hydro-Québec excludes indoor units and ducts installed outside the insulation envelope, for example in the attic or roof space. We look at your duct route during the visit.

Two, per Samsung: terminals F1 and F2 on the control unit, 18 AWG solid wire, up to 328 ft (100 m).

No question matches. Call us: 514 316-2973.

17 · The Samsung range

No ducts? Samsung also makes wall units and multi-zone systems.

A Hylex needs ducts. Without ducts, heat comes through a head in each room.
