Samsung Electronics said it plans to launch its 'EHS All-in-One' heat pump for apartments later this year. 'EHS All-in-One' is a product that provides cooling, floor heating and hot water with a single outdoor unit. Samsung Electronics disclosed the plan on the 7th at a public briefing on the 'Korean Green Transformation (K-GX) Strategy' held at the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Seoul.
Samsung Electronics is pursuing the establishment of design and construction standards with builders to promote adoption in multi-family housing. It is also pursuing the creation of an installation and maintenance system for that purpose. Samsung Electronics' 'EHS All-in-One' was displayed in September at the '2026 Climate Industry International Expo' at BEXCO in Busan.
Samsung Electronics said it aims to secure a domestic supply base by 2027. It then plans to pursue nationwide rollout in 2028-2029.
The government set a goal of distributing 3.5 million heat pumps by 2035 and cutting 5.18 million tons of greenhouse gases. It is pursuing support for adoption in single-family homes and other housing types. The government is also pursuing regulatory reforms to enable the use of heat pumps in multi-family housing.
Samsung Electronics began domestic deployment in June by installing an 'EHS heat pump boiler' at a single-family home in Aewol, Jeju. The 'EHS heat pump boiler' is intended for heating and hot water supply. With this plan, Samsung Electronics is targeting the market for heating, cooling and hot-water systems in multi-family housing after the replacement of heating equipment in single-family homes.
To this end, Samsung Electronics is promoting EHS All-in-One, a product that integrates air cooling as well. EHS All-in-One is an integrated heating, cooling and hot-water system designed with apartment use in mind, given the limited space for outdoor unit installation. It also applies 'heat recovery' technology, which reuses heat generated during cooling to produce hot water, reducing hot-water energy consumption by linking summer cooling and hot-water supply.
Samsung Electronics is conducting performance verification in actual residential environments before launch. Since August, it has been checking performance, energy efficiency and user convenience in an actual occupied single-family home in Donam-dong, Jeju City. At Samsung C&T's Residential Performance Research Center in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, it is measuring power consumption and operating noise in an environment identical to that of an apartment.
For major builders, Samsung Electronics plans to prepare design and construction standards that reflect cooling and heating demand by home size, hot-water supply volume and outdoor unit room dimensions, and it will pursue pilot application of those standards. The move is aimed at improving on-site applicability by reflecting demand and equipment specifications under different housing conditions.
As heat pump performance in practice is affected not only by product efficiency but also by piping installation and maintenance tailored to the residential environment, on-site implementation capabilities are important. Samsung Electronics explained this characteristic when it expanded installation training in September.
At the usage stage, the company plans to offer functions for checking heating, cooling and hot-water status and remote control through the SmartThings app, as well as integration with solar power and energy storage systems (ESS). Park Seung-hee, head of Samsung Electronics' CR team, said the company plans to build a domestic supply base by 2027 in line with the government's electrification policy for heating, and to fully pursue nationwide rollout in 2028-2029, while expanding its global business from 2030 based on technology and deployment experience accumulated in South Korea.
Samsung Electronics is pursuing investment in domestic production facilities and localization of key components to advance domestic production and procurement of parts, and in parallel with that it is operating a dedicated EHS heat pump training center within the Samsung CS Academy in Suwon, where it provides hands-on training in piping installation, installation, commissioning and after-sales management for B2B partners and professional engineers.
