A high-performance and stable central solution for Quebec winters
At AirGreen, we regularly install central systems in homes and condominiums in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore and the South Shore. The SAMSUNG HYLEX PREMIUM R454B 2-ton electric furnace is part of a modern approach to central HVAC, combining energy efficiency, advanced heat pump compatibility, and stable performance in real winter conditions.
This model is designed to work with a Samsung central heat pump (AC024FCUPCG), creating an intelligent hybrid system that maximizes efficiency while ensuring continuous heating even during periods of intense cold.
Why this furnace stands out in Quebec HVAC installations
Optimized compatibility with central heat pump
In our recent projects on the South Shore, particularly in Boucherville and Saint-Hubert, we have found that systems combining a high-performance heat pump and a well-calibrated electric furnace offer the best results.
The HYLEX PREMIUM acts as an air handler with:
- Intelligent management of electric auxiliary heating
- Smooth transition between heat pump and resistance heating
- Improved indoor temperature stability
This helps to avoid short cycling and improve overall comfort, especially in poorly insulated or multi-story homes.
Energy performance adapted to the Quebec climate
This unit stands out for its solid technical performance:
- SEER2: 17.03
- HSPF2: 8.51
- COP at -8°C: 1.93
- Capacity down to -25°C with compatible heat pump
In a recent project in Laval, we replaced an old inefficient central system with this configuration. The result: a noticeable reduction in winter energy consumption and an immediate improvement in thermal comfort.
R-454B Refrigerant: A significant evolution
The transition to R-454B represents a strategic change in the HVAC industry:
- Reduced environmental impact
- Better thermodynamic efficiency
- Compliance with new standards
At AirGreen, we have already carried out several installations with this type of refrigerant in Greater Montreal, and the performance is consistent, even during periods of extreme cold.
Detailed Technical Specifications
Capacities and dimensions
- Nominal power: 24,000 BTU (2 tons)
- Power at -8°C: 16,500 BTU
- Power at -15°C: 23,800 BTU
- Indoor dimensions: 18.5 x 22 x 41 inches
- Outdoor dimensions: 37 x 13 x 47.88 inches
These compact dimensions facilitate installation in confined spaces, particularly in mechanical rooms of condos or townhouses.
Ventilation and indoor comfort
The furnace is equipped with a high-efficiency ECM motor with:
- 5 ventilation speeds
- Quiet and stable operation
- Reduced vibrations
In a recent installation in Longueuil, this system significantly improved air circulation in a house with rooms far from the main plenum.
Robust construction and simplified maintenance
- Independent front access panels
- High-density internal insulation
- Air leakage limited to less than 2%
These features facilitate HVAC maintenance interventions and ensure increased durability.
AirGreen Installation: what we actually do
Real-world example in Montreal (Ahuntsic)
We recently installed this unit in a single-family home with:
- Replacement of an old electric furnace
- Addition of a compatible Samsung heat pump
- Adjustment of existing ducts
Result:
- Uniform comfort throughout the house
- Reduced system noise
- Access to the LogisVert subsidy
Practical installation details
During an HVAC installation with this unit, we generally include:
- Up to 15 feet of piping
- Compliant electrical connections
- Pressure test and full commissioning
- Airflow calibration
We pay particular attention to:
- Duct balancing
- Integration with the thermostat
- Optimization of heating/cooling mode
Subsidies and real savings
The LogisVert subsidy (Hydro-Québec) can reach $1,980 for this system.
In several cases in Laval and on the North Shore, our clients have seen their initial investment significantly reduced, making this type of central system very competitive compared to other solutions.
Frequent errors to avoid with this type of system
Poor heat pump / furnace matching
We often see installations where the furnace is not perfectly compatible with the heat pump. The result:
- Reduced performance
- Higher consumption
- Thermal discomfort
At AirGreen, we always validate combinations via AHRI number (218158146).
Underestimation of airflow
Incorrect sizing of airflow (CFM) can lead to:
- Poor heat distribution
- Excessive noise
- Premature wear
We systematically adjust ECM motor speeds according to the actual building configuration.
