The government is promoting heating electrification and the foundation for wider apartment adoption, aiming to deploy 3.5 million heat pumps and cut 5.18 million tons of greenhouse gases by 2035.
At the K-GX strategy public briefing on the 7th, Samsung Electronics said it would join efforts to electrify heating and cooling in apartments and other multi-family housing and reduce carbon emissions with its "EHS All-in-one" heat pump-based solution.
Samsung Electronics plans to begin product launch this year, establish a domestic supply base by 2027, and then fully scale nationwide deployment in 2028 to 2029.
The government is advancing a push to electrify heating and expand the foundation for apartment adoption, while setting targets for heat pump deployment and greenhouse gas reductions. It aims to deploy 3.5 million heat pumps and cut greenhouse gas emissions by 5.18 million tons by 2035, and is pushing ahead with heating electrification.
The government is also supporting detached houses and other housing types, while laying the institutional groundwork to expand adoption in apartment complexes. Against this backdrop, Samsung Electronics has moved to target the domestic apartment market with a heat pump-based heating and cooling electrification solution.
On the 7th, Samsung Electronics took part in the Korea Green Transformation (K-GX) strategy public briefing held at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Seoul. At the event, Samsung Electronics said it would fully join efforts to reduce carbon emissions by electrifying heating and cooling in apartments and other multi-family housing with its "EHS All-in-one" heat pump-based solution.
Park Seung-hee, president in charge of CR at Samsung Electronics, gave a presentation under the theme, "A heat pump proposal for apartment heating and cooling innovation for carbon-free living." Park said the company plans to establish a domestic supply base by 2027 in line with the government’s heating electrification policy, and explained that it plans to push ahead in earnest with nationwide deployment in 2028 to 2029.
Samsung Electronics plans to establish a domestic supply base for the EHS All-in-one heat pump in line with the government’s policy and expand the business in stages. Park said the company plans to expand its global business starting in 2030 based on its domestic technology and deployment experience.
Samsung Electronics’ product is called the "EHS All-in-one heat pump." The product is designed as an integrated solution that reflects Korea’s distinct four seasons and its ondol-centered residential culture, and provides air cooling, floor heating, and hot water with a single outdoor unit. It is especially suitable for apartment environments where outdoor unit installation space is limited, and it is configured to integrate cooling, heating, and hot water without the need to separately install air conditioners and boilers.
The product applies Heat Recovery technology, which is centered on air-conditioning systems for large buildings. Through this, it recovers waste heat generated during summer cooling operations and reuses the recovered heat for hot water production. Samsung Electronics said it presented this as a way to reduce energy consumption for hot water supply.
The product also supports integrated management through SmartThings. Users can check the heating, cooling, and hot water status in real time through the SmartThings app, and remote control is also possible. Samsung Electronics said it plans to expand links with solar power and energy storage systems (ESS) in the future to improve convenience and efficiency in household energy use, while also supporting household energy use management.
Before beginning full-scale domestic supply of the EHS All-in-one, Samsung Electronics is conducting verification in real residential environments. Since last August, it has been comprehensively verifying the product’s performance, energy efficiency, and ease of use in an actual occupied detached house in Donam-dong, Jeju-si, Jeju Province. At Samsung C&T’s Residential Performance Research Institute in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, the company has built an environment identical to an apartment, and the institute is analyzing detailed measured data such as power consumption and operating noise.
Samsung Electronics is pursuing cooperation with major construction companies. Through this, it plans to prepare customized designs that reflect heating and cooling demand, hot water supply volume, and outdoor unit room specifications by housing size. It also plans to prepare a customized construction standard solution and pilot the customized design and construction standard solution. In addition, it intends to strengthen the product supply and installation system, as well as the maintenance system, in cooperation with construction companies.
Samsung Electronics will begin product launch this year. It then plans to establish a domestic supply base by 2027 and fully scale nationwide deployment in 2028 to 2029. After that, starting in 2030, it plans to accelerate its push into major global markets, including Europe, based on technology and deployment experience accumulated in Korea.
While pushing to expand heat pump deployment, Samsung Electronics is also pursuing shared growth with the domestic industrial ecosystem. It plans to ease household heating cost burdens by promoting high-efficiency heating and cooling solutions, while also expanding investment in domestic production facilities and actively promoting localization of key components to strengthen a win-win foundation with small and medium-sized partner companies and parts manufacturers.
Samsung Electronics is also pushing ahead with training specialized installation personnel. It has established a dedicated EHS heat pump training center within the Suwon CS Academy, and at this center it is providing hands-on training in piping installation, setup, commissioning, and after-sales management for B2B partner companies and professional engineers. It also plans to operate field-oriented practical training and systematically improve installation and maintenance capabilities.
Going forward, Samsung Electronics plans to continue communicating with the government and the industrial sector, and jointly seek ways to improve the systems and infrastructure needed for the spread of the EHS All-in-one in apartment complexes.
