Aligning with the government’s push toward cleaner heating solutions, Samsung Electronics has officially introduced its EHS Heat Pump Boiler in the domestic market. The launch supports Korea’s broader heating electrification initiative and aims to improve energy efficiency while reducing carbon emissions.
The EHS Heat Pump Boiler uses ambient air heat and electricity to deliver indoor heating and hot water. It can generate more than 4 times the heat compared to the electrical energy consumed. Unlike fossil fuel-based boilers with efficiency below 100%, this system offers higher efficiency and lower emissions. When paired with home solar power systems, it can further reduce energy costs.
The launch comes as the government plans to deploy 3.5 million heat pump units by 2035, targeting a reduction of 5.18 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions. To accelerate adoption, 14.4 billion won has been allocated this year, with subsidies covering up to 70% of installation costs per household.
The residential system features high-efficiency refrigerant compression and anti-freeze technology, ensuring stable operation in winter. It can supply hot water up to 70°C even at -15°C. The outdoor unit includes an electric heater, freeze-prevention valve, and an additional bottom heater to prevent freezing and maintain performance even in extreme conditions down to -25°C.
The product is equipped with a large-capacity heat exchanger to maximize efficiency. It delivers a seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) of 4.9 at 35°C water output, nearly 5 times the heating energy relative to power consumption. At 55°C, the SCOP stands at 3.78.
It uses R32 refrigerant, which has a global warming potential 68% lower than R410A, commonly used in heating and cooling appliances.
To reduce noise and vibration, Samsung has introduced a serrated fan design that minimizes air turbulence. The system operates at noise levels as low as 35dB while maintaining strong airflow.
The unit features a dark gray design with a concealed grill structure and a compact height of about 100 cm, allowing installation under windows without blocking views. A 7-inch touch display enables easy control of heating and hot water systems. Integration with SmartThings allows users to monitor and adjust settings remotely.
Samsung also offers nationwide maintenance support through its network of professional engineers.
Shin Moonseon, Executive Vice President of the Digital Appliances Division at Samsung Electronics, stated, “The EHS Heat Pump Boiler from Samsung Electronics is a complete solution that combines overwhelming heating efficiency and performance, low noise of at least 35 decibels (dB), and ease of use. We will actively participate in the domestic heating electrification project based on our differentiated technology and service infrastructure.”
