A Smart Central HVAC Solution to Modernize Your Existing System
At AirGreen, we observe a clear trend across Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore: many homeowners want to improve their comfort without completely replacing their HVAC system. The Samsung Hylex Standard 4-ton central heat pump precisely meets this need.
This “ADD ON” model is designed to integrate with an existing system (furnace + A-Coil), allowing for efficient, quick, and cost-effective modernization. Thanks to its advanced inverter technology and its use of low GWP R-454B refrigerant, this heat pump offers a rare balance of performance, compatibility, and energy efficiency.
Why the Samsung Hylex 4-Ton is a Game-Changer in HVAC Installation
Exceptional compatibility with existing systems
Unlike traditional central heat pumps, the Hylex allows for:
- Reuse of existing refrigerant lines
- Use of standard wiring (only 2 wires between units)
- Compatibility with almost all 24VAC thermostats
- Direct integration with an existing furnace (dual-energy mode)
In a recent project in Laval, we replaced an old central air conditioning unit with this Hylex model without touching the ducts or most of the infrastructure. The result: an installation completed in a single day, with significant savings for the client.
Thermal performance adapted to the Quebec climate
This heat pump is not designed for mild climates only. It offers:
- Effective heating down to -25°C
- Stable heating capacity down to -10°C at 100%
- Nominal power: 48,000 BTU (4 tons)
- Modulated capacity: up to 60,000 BTU in heating
In a duplex in Longueuil, this capacity allowed for stable comfort even during winter cold snaps, while reducing the use of the auxiliary furnace.
Inverter Technology: Precision and Savings
The dual-rotor BLDC inverter compressor allows for:
- Continuous power modulation
- Reduced on/off cycles
- Improved thermal stability
- Decreased electricity consumption
Unlike traditional systems, this heat pump adjusts its power in real time according to needs, which significantly improves seasonal energy efficiency (SEER2: 14.3, HSPF2: 8.0)

Simplified installation for controlled costs
One of the major advantages of this heat pump is its ease of installation:
- Reduced labor time
- Fewer structural modifications
- Fewer materials needed
At AirGreen, we have found that this type of installation can reduce overall costs by 15 to 30% compared to a complete replacement.
AirGreen Case Study: Optimized Replacement in Montreal
In a triplex in the Rosemont district of Montreal, a client wanted to improve their system without replacing their recent furnace.
Challenges:
- Limited space for a new unit
- Restricted budget
- Need for efficient heating
Solution:
Installation of a Samsung Hylex 4-ton ADD ON
Results:
- Reduced energy bill from the first winter
- Installation completed in 8 hours
- No major changes to existing ducts
This type of project precisely represents the strategic advantage of this heat pump.
Common Mistakes to Avoid with This Type of System
1. Underestimating the importance of sizing
Incorrect capacity can drastically reduce performance.
2. Neglecting the ACU control unit
This unit (MXD-U001XN) is mandatory to ensure communication between components
3. Installing without checking coil compatibility
The system requires a coil with TXV (thermostatic expansion valve).
4. Ignoring system sealing
A poorly sealed installation reduces overall efficiency.
At AirGreen, we follow strict protocols including:
- Pressure test
- Complete vacuum pull
- Leak check
- Parameter calibration
