(French brochure coming soon)

A high-performance central HVAC solution designed for Quebec's climate

At AirGreen, we regularly install central systems in homes and residential buildings in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, on the North Shore, and the South Shore. The SAMSUNG HYLEX PREMIUM R454B 3-ton electric furnace falls into a very specific category: modern, high-performance central systems optimized to work in tandem with a high-efficiency central heat pump.

This model stands out for its intelligent integration with the AC036FCUPCG heat pump, full compatibility with ENERGY STAR standards (including cold climates), and a technical design adapted to Quebec's realities, particularly extreme temperatures and constant heating needs.

A heat pump + furnace combination that truly makes a difference

Why this type of system is becoming dominant in Quebec

In recent years, we have observed a major shift in HVAC installations: hybrid heat pump + electric furnace systems now dominate new installations and replacements.

With this configuration:

• The heat pump provides primary heating down to very low temperatures (up to -25°C)
• The electric furnace acts as a backup when necessary
• The system automatically optimizes energy consumption

In the case of the HYLEX PREMIUM R454B model, the performance is particularly impressive:

• Cooling capacity: 36,000 BTU
• Power at -8°C: 21,000 BTU
• Power at -15°C: 39,000 BTU
• COP at -8°C: 11.93
• SEER2: 17.53
• HSPF2: 8.51

These figures are not theoretical: we have validated similar performances on several real installations on the South Shore, notably in Boucherville and Saint-Hubert.

Advanced technical features: what few customers truly know

Inverter technology and dual rotary compressor

The system uses a BLDC inverter dual-rotor compressor, which allows for:

• Precise power modulation
• Reduced on/off cycles
• Better thermal stability in the house
• Reduced energy consumption

Concretely, this means the system continuously adjusts its power rather than running at full capacity constantly.

R-454B Refrigerant: a strategic choice

The switch to R-454B is a key point:

• Significant reduction in environmental impact
• Improved thermal efficiency
• Compliance with future standards

At AirGreen, we already recommend this type of refrigerant for new installations in Montreal and Laval, as it ensures better system longevity.

Heat exchanger and interior design

The indoor furnace unit features:

• Mechanically bonded aluminum heat exchanger
• Copper connections for reliable installation
• Compatibility with A-coil with TXV

This design facilitates:

• Future repairs
• System durability
• Heating and cooling performance

AirGreen's real-world installation: concrete field feedback

Recent project in Longueuil (Single-family home)

We recently replaced an old oil-fired system with a SAMSUNG HYLEX PREMIUM 3-ton unit in a Longueuil property.

Initial situation:

• Inefficient heating
• High energy costs
• Uneven air distribution

Technical challenges:

• Restricted space in the mechanical room
• Adjustment of existing piping (3/8 – 7/8 required)
• Adaptation of the ductwork system

Result after installation:

• Stable temperature throughout the house
• Estimated 30 to 40% reduction in energy costs
• Significantly improved comfort

This type of transformation is now common, especially in HVAC modernization projects on the North Shore and in Montérégie.

Installation: critical points never to neglect

1. Positioning and access

The furnace must be installed with:

• Double front access for maintenance
• Sufficient space for airflow (high CFM: 11345)
• Adequate insulation (galvanized steel panels with 5/8” insulation)

Poor installation can drastically reduce performance.

2. Piping and connection

The system requires:

• Piping: 3/8 – 7/8
• Hermetic sealed connection
• Mandatory vacuum and pressure tests

At AirGreen, we have seen competitor installations where these steps were neglected, causing immediate performance losses.

3. Drainage and condensation management

The system integrates:

• HYDROTECH pan reducing stagnant water
• Microban antimicrobial protection
• Dual drainage outlet

These elements are essential to avoid:

• Mold
• Odors
• Maintenance problems

Smart control and connectivity

The system offers:

• 24VAC thermostat or communicating Samsung controller
• WiFi connection via SmartThings
• Advanced configuration options (staging, compressor lockout, etc.)

In several projects in Montreal, we have configured these systems to:

• Optimize heating hours
• Reduce costs during peak periods
• Improve overall comfort

Subsidies and return on investment

LogisVert Program – Hydro-Québec

This unit is eligible for a subsidy of:

• $2,520 (updated November 2025)

This amount directly influences the final cost of the project.

Observed real ROI

In AirGreen installations:

• Average return on investment: 4 to 7 years
• Annual savings: significant depending on the old system

Common mistakes to avoid when choosing a similar system

Choosing based solely on price

A cheaper system can:

• Use an older refrigerant
• Offer lower performance in cold climates
• Cost more in the long run

Neglecting heat pump + furnace compatibility

Not all systems are optimally compatible. Here, the Samsung combination is specifically designed to work together.

Unspecialized installation

A poorly installed high-performance system loses:

• Up to 30% of its efficiency
• Its long-term durability

Why choose AirGreen for this type of installation

At AirGreen, we don't just sell systems. We master the entire process:

• Complete thermal analysis
• Precise sizing (3 tons adapted to real needs)
• Certified installation
• Personalized energy optimization

We are involved in similar projects every week in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore, which allows us to offer concrete and field-adapted expertise.

Conclusion: a strategic choice for comfort and efficiency

The SAMSUNG HYLEX PREMIUM R454B 3-ton electric furnace represents a modern, high-performance central solution perfectly suited to Quebec's climatic realities.

Its integration with an advanced heat pump, its energy efficiency, and its robust design make it a relevant choice for:

• Replacing existing systems
• New constructions
• Residential energy optimization
