An Intelligent Central HVAC Solution Designed for Greater Montreal's Realities
At AirGreen, we observe a clear evolution in the needs for central heating and air conditioning in Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, the North Shore, and the South Shore: property owners are looking for systems capable of modernizing an existing installation without a complete overhaul. The Samsung Hylex Standard 5-ton central heat pump precisely addresses this reality.
This "ADD ON" model is designed to integrate directly with an existing furnace or system, allowing for a transition to a more powerful and efficient solution without replacing the entire HVAC infrastructure.
Why the Samsung Hylex 5 Ton Transforms Existing HVAC Installations
Unlike traditional central heat pumps, the Hylex series takes a radically different approach:
Exceptional Compatibility with Existing Systems
- Compatible with existing A-Coil and forced-air systems
- Possibility of reusing existing piping, wiring, and insulation
- Works with standard 24VAC thermostats
- Requires only 2 communication wires between units
In our projects in Laval and on the South Shore, this feature significantly reduces:
- Installation costs
- Construction time
- Structural modifications
An Ideal Approach for Partial Replacements
We recently completed an installation in Longueuil where the client wished to keep their gas furnace. Thanks to dual-fuel technology, the Hylex heat pump handles:
- Primary heating in normal conditions
- The furnace as support during severe cold spells
This type of configuration is particularly relevant for the Quebec climate.
Actual Heating and Cooling Performance
Key Technical Capabilities
- Cooling capacity: 60,000 BTU
- Nominal heating capacity: up to 56,000 BTU
- Heating operation down to -25°C
- Variable speed inverter compressor
The compressor modulation allows for precise power adjustment, avoiding frequent on/off cycles that reduce the lifespan of conventional systems.
Performance in Real Conditions in Quebec
In a project carried out on the North Shore, we measured:
- Outdoor temperature: -18°C
- Stable indoor temperature maintenance
- Significant reduction in electricity consumption compared to a traditional system
Inverter technology allows for better management of thermal loads, even in extreme conditions.
Optimized Efficiency for Comfort and Savings
Performance Indicators
- SEER2: 14.3
- HSPF2: 8.0
- EER2: 9.3
Although this model is not ENERGY STAR® certified, it remains an efficient solution for:
- Modernizing an existing system
- Improving overall efficiency without complete replacement
- Reducing installation costs
Airflow and Comfort
- Up to 2500 CFM airflow
- Indoor fan speed control
- Better dehumidification
Simplified Installation: A Major Advantage in Urban Areas
Reduced Installation Time and Costs
Based on our experience with several installations in Montreal, the Hylex allows for:
- Up to 30% reduction in installation time
- Fewer mechanical modifications
- Fewer electrical interventions
The possibility of retaining:
- Existing ducts
- Refrigerant piping
- The control system
constitutes a major strategic advantage.
Installation Flexibility
- Maximum piping length: 164 feet
- Maximum elevation difference: 98 feet
- Multiple compatible pipe diameters
This allows for efficient installation even in complex buildings in Montreal.
Advanced Technology and Smart Connectivity
SmartThings and Smart Control
- Integrated WiFi
- Energy monitoring
- Error notifications
- Performance analysis
The system can be connected to the SmartThings ecosystem to:
- Optimize consumption
- Receive real-time alerts
- Adjust settings remotely
Advanced Control with ACU Unit
The installation mandatorily includes a control unit (ACU MXD-U001XN) which:
- Synchronizes the outdoor and indoor units
- Allows for advanced fan control
- Facilitates integration with existing systems
Acoustic Comfort and Compact Design
Reduced Noise Level
- Around 56 to 58 dB(A) during operation
In residential areas of Longueuil and Laval, this represents a significant advantage, especially for installations close to neighbors.
Compact Format
- Width: 37.17 inches
- Depth: 13 inches
- Height: 55.88 inches
The compact design facilitates:
- Installation in confined spaces
- Transport to the job site
- Integration into urban properties
AirGreen Feedback: Real Installation in Montreal
During a project in eastern Montreal, we replaced an old central system with a 5-ton Hylex.
Challenges encountered:
- Limited mechanical space
- Complex existing piping
- Difficult access to the outdoor unit
Solutions applied:
- Complete reuse of ducts
- Fast installation thanks to the 2-wire system
- Optimized configuration via the Samsung web tool
Result:
- Installation completed in a single day
- Immediate comfort improvement
- Reduced intervention costs
Common Mistakes to Avoid with this Type of System
- Underestimating the importance of sizing (5 tons must be justified)
- Neglecting the mandatory ACU installation
- Not checking existing coil compatibility (TXV required)
- Poor dual-fuel management
At AirGreen, every project is preceded by a comprehensive technical analysis to avoid these errors.
