Samsung Electronics Unveils 'EHS All-in-One' With One Outdoor Unit for Cooling, Heating and Hot Water
IT DAILY ·
✦ AI Summary
Samsung Electronics will showcase the 'EHS All-in-One' and 'EHS Heat Pump Boiler' at the '2026 Green Hydrogen Global Forum' at the Jeju International Convention Center from 14 to 16.
The 'EHS All-in-One' provides cooling, underfloor heating and hot water with a single outdoor unit, while the 'EHS Heat Pump Boiler' offers heating and hot water supply functions and low-temperature compatibility.
Samsung Electronics has built a production line at its Gwangju campus and set up a dedicated training center at the Suwon CS Academy, while conducting demonstrations at a single-family home in Jeju and the Samsung C&T Residential Performance Research Center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province.
Samsung Electronics has begun expanding its residential electric heat pump products for heating, cooling and hot water supply in South Korea. To that end, the company is introducing the related product lineup domestically while also carrying out local production and demonstrations.
Samsung Electronics said it will showcase the 'EHS All-in-One' and 'EHS Heat Pump Boiler' at the '2026 Green Hydrogen Global Forum,' which will be held from 14 to 16 at the Jeju International Convention Center. The exhibit features residential electrification solutions for heating and cooling. At this event, the company unveiled a product that handles cooling, heating and hot water with a single outdoor unit, as well as a heat pump boiler that can provide heating in low-temperature environments.
EHS is a heat pump system that uses heat from the air and electricity. Its functions are heating, cooling and hot water supply.
Fossil fuel-based boilers operate by directly burning fuel. In contrast, EHS works by moving external heat. EHS can supply more heat energy than the electrical energy it consumes.
Samsung Electronics' 'EHS All-in-One' is designed to provide cooling, underfloor heating and hot water with a single outdoor unit. The product applies heat recovery technology that reuses waste heat generated during cooling for hot water production.
The product uses R32 as its refrigerant. Samsung Electronics said the global warming potential (GWP) of R32 is about 68% lower than that of R410A. GWP is an index that quantifies the global warming impact of each substance based on carbon dioxide.
The 'EHS Heat Pump Boiler' has heating and hot water supply functions and delivers a SCOP of 4.9 under 35℃ outlet water conditions. SCOP is the value obtained by dividing annual heating energy supply, which reflects seasonal outdoor temperature changes, by power consumption. The higher the SCOP, the greater the heating energy supplied relative to the same amount of electricity. However, actual efficiency may vary depending on the usage environment.
To handle low temperatures, the product is equipped with an electric heater inside the outdoor unit and an anti-freeze valve, and a heater that supports drainage is installed at the bottom of the product. It also applies high-efficiency refrigerant compression technology, allowing hot water supply of up to 70℃ at an outdoor temperature of minus 15℃. Heating has been designed to operate even at minus 25℃.
Samsung Electronics has built a production line for the EHS Heat Pump Boiler at its Gwangju campus. The line is scheduled to begin mass production at the end of this month. Samsung Electronics has also set up a dedicated EHS heat pump training center at the Suwon CS Academy.
The training targets B2B partners and installation engineers. The curriculum covers water piping installation, product setup, commissioning and service inspection. In parallel with product production, Samsung Electronics is also expanding installation and service training.
This is because the actual performance of heat pumps can depend not only on product efficiency but also on a building's water piping facilities, installation conditions and maintenance level. Samsung Electronics is also verifying product performance in real residential environments.
It is conducting demonstrations of the EHS All-in-One at a single-family home in Jeju, while the Samsung C&T Residential Performance Research Center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, is reviewing its applicability to apartment housing. Park Jung-mi, vice president and head of Samsung Electronics Korea, said the company aims to improve energy efficiency in residential environments and contribute to the electrification of heating and cooling in South Korea by building on its high-efficiency heating and cooling solutions.
