Smart, Sustainable HVAC Innovation
Designed with ease of use in mind, Hylex™ combines energy efficiency and installation flexibility — meeting the needs of homeowners and builders alike. It utilizes inverter-driven, transfer-based heating and cooling technology.
With its compact form factor, Hylex™ is optimized for space-saving installations and streamlined logistics. Its lightweight, modular design reduces the materials and labor required for housing and transportation, making it an ideal solution for both new builds and retrofits.
What truly differentiates Hylex™ is its universal compatibility. It can be connected to any indoor coil that uses a thermal expansion valve (TXV), allowing homeowners to reuse existing refrigerant piping and control wiring. This eliminates the need to overhaul entire HVAC systems, reducing waste, cost, and disruption.
Furthermore, the new Hylex™ model will be launched with enhanced features, including compatibility with R-454B. It will also integrate with SmartThings Energy1, Samsung’s platform for real-time energy monitoring and AI-based energy optimization, enabling smarter and more sustainable home energy management.
Strategic Expansion Through a Joint Venture With Lennox
The Green Builder recognition comes at a time of strategic expansion for Samsung, following the announcement of a joint venture with Lennox, a leading provider of climate control solutions in North America. The new entity, Samsung Lennox HVAC North America, will sell Samsung’s advanced ductless HVAC systems as well as new “Lennox powered by Samsung” products in the U.S. and Canada.
By combining Samsung’s HVAC innovation and connected home technologies with Lennox’s extensive direct-to-dealer network, the joint venture is positioned to deliver powerful, smart climate solutions to a broader range of customers.
As the demand for efficient, future-ready HVAC systems continues to rise, Samsung remains committed to developing technologies. Hylex™ exemplifies this approach, delivering reliable performance with high efficiency.
