A Smart Hybrid HVAC Solution to Modernize Your Existing System in Montreal
In the current context of Greater Montreal, many homeowners want to improve their central heating and air conditioning system without undertaking a costly full replacement. It is precisely in this type of situation that the SAMSUNG Hylex Standard 2-ton "ADD ON" central heat pump stands out.
At AirGreen, we regularly install this type of system in homes in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, North Shore, and South Shore, especially when a client already has a functional furnace and wants to reduce their energy consumption while gaining comfort.
Why the Samsung Hylex Standard 2-Ton is a Game Changer
Direct Integration with Your Existing System
The uniqueness of the AC024FCUDCG / HC24MCB021H1 model lies in its ability to integrate with an already existing system. Unlike traditional heat pumps requiring a complete replacement, this model acts as an "ADD ON":
- Compatible with furnaces and coils (A-Coil with TXV)
- Possible dual-fuel operation
- Frequent reuse of existing piping
- Compatible with standard 24VAC thermostats
This means less work, less disruption, and optimized installation cost.
According to technical documentation, this system is designed to directly replace a traditional outdoor unit, while retaining a large portion of existing components.
Performance Adapted to Quebec's Climate
The climate reality of Montreal and its surroundings imposes high demands on heating. This heat pump is designed to offer stable performance even in difficult conditions:
- Operation down to -25°C
- Nominal capacity of 24,000 BTU
- Heating power up to 35,000 BTU at peak
- Capacity retention at low temperatures (-10°C)
Concretely, this allows for:
- Reduced furnace usage
- Better energy efficiency in mid-season
- More constant comfort in the home
Energy Efficiency and Real Performance
Even though this model is not ENERGY STAR® certified, its performance remains strong for a hybrid configuration:
- SEER2: 14.3
- HSPF2: 8.0
- EER2: 10.5
These values allow for a significant reduction in electricity consumption compared to a system based solely on an electric furnace or a traditional air conditioner.
At AirGreen, we have observed an average reduction of 20 to 35% in energy costs for some clients who opted for this hybrid configuration, particularly on the South Shore and in Laval.
Inverter Technology: Stability and Comfort
The integrated variable-speed inverter technology precisely adjusts power according to actual needs:
- More stable indoor temperature
- Fewer ON/OFF cycles
- Reduced noise
- Longer compressor lifespan
The BLDC twin rotary compressor ensures efficient and quiet operation.
Simplified Installation: A Concrete Advantage in the Field
One of the most appreciated aspects by our technical team is the ease of installation:
- Only 2 communication wires required
- Possible reuse of existing ducts
- Piping length up to 164 feet
- Maximum elevation difference of 98 feet
In a project carried out in Longueuil, we replaced an old outdoor unit in less than a day, without major modifications to the existing piping or wiring. The result: quick installation, controlled cost, and immediate customer satisfaction.
Essential Technical Characteristics
Main Specifications
- Capacity: 2 tons (24,000 BTU)
- Refrigerant: R-454B (low GWP)
- Outdoor sound level: ≈ 52 dB
- Voltage: 220V
- Outdoor dimensions: 37 x 13 x 39.31 in
- Airflow: up to 1000 CFM
R-454B refrigerant represents a significant environmental advance, with a reduced global warming potential compared to older gases.
Connectivity and Smart Control
The system includes:
- Integrated Wi-Fi via SmartThings
- Real-time error notifications
- Energy consumption monitoring
- AI mode for automatic optimization
The ACU (MXD-U001XN) module is required to ensure communication between components and optimize performance.
AirGreen's Real Installation Case
Residential Project in Laval – Strategic Replacement
A client had a recent gas furnace but a failing air conditioner. Instead of replacing the entire system, we installed a Samsung Hylex 2-ton in ADD ON mode.
Results:
- Installation completed in one day
- Full reuse of ducts and wiring
- Reduced gas consumption in mid-season
- Significant improvement in thermal comfort
Common Mistakes to Avoid
1. Underestimating the Importance of Proper Sizing
Even for an ADD ON system, improper capacity can lead to:
- Short cycles
- Overconsumption
- Discomfort
At AirGreen, we always perform a precise thermal load calculation before installation.
2. Neglecting the Role of the Coil (A-Coil)
An incompatible or improperly sized coil significantly reduces system efficiency. TXV compatibility is essential for optimal operation.
3. Installing Without an ACU Module
The ACU module is mandatory for:
- System communication
- Indoor fan control
- Performance optimization
