Samsung HVAC North America has unveiled the next generation of Hylex, its advanced electric heat pump system designed to deliver reliable heating performance in cold and variable climates while supporting the region's growing shift toward electrification.
Engineered with an inverter-driven compressor and designed for installation flexibility, Hylex helps homeowners and contractors across the US address efficiency, comfort and sustainability goals—without sacrificing performance during colder months.
For contractors, Hylex is designed to simplify installation and reduce time on site. The system will be supported by the Hylex MPAH or Hylex A-Coil to enable a fully matched setup or used in coil-only applications with major manufacturers through AHRI-listed system combinations.
Existing line sets, piping, wiring and insulation can often be reused—helping minimise disruption and installation complexity.
Built to perform in demanding conditions, Hylex delivers 100 per cent heating capacity at temperatures as low as –4°F and continues with high heating operation down to –13°F, making it a strong solution for cold-climate applications that have traditionally relied on fossil fuels as the primary source of heating.
The system can also be configured for dual-fuel operation, allowing the heat pump to manage everyday heating needs while a secondary heat source supports extreme weather conditions.
Hylex also supports a connected comfort experience. The system is compatible with popular third-party thermostats, giving homeowners choice and flexibility, while still enabling SmartThings monitoring features such as error notifications and outdoor unit energy data.
When paired with a Samsung thermostat, Hylex unlocks expanded SmartThings functionality, including AI-driven system optimization, geofencing and enhanced system insights.
Designed with modern homes in mind, Hylex features a compact footprint compared to traditional unitary systems. Its smaller size makes it well-suited for zero-lot-line properties, helping preserve outdoor space—and offering wall-mount installation options for added flexibility.
