Samsung Electronics Launches First Residential 'EHS Heat Pump Boiler' in Jeju, Targeting Eco-Friendly Heating Market

High-Efficiency Solution Utilizing Air Heat and Electricity
Stable Supply of 70°C Hot Water Even at Minus 15°C

Samsung Electronics announced on July 30 that it has installed its residential eco-friendly heating system, the EHS Heat Pump Boiler, in a detached house in Jeju and is beginning the full-scale rollout of next-generation high-efficiency heating and cooling solutions.

Samsung Electronics reported that, after installing the product in a detached house in Aewol, Jeju on June 25, it held a dedication ceremony the previous day to mark the expansion of its high-efficiency heating solutions. The newly introduced eco-friendly heating system, the EHS Heat Pump Boiler, is an integrated unit that combines ambient air heat and electricity to provide both heating and hot water to residential spaces. Unlike conventional fossil fuel boilers, which deliver less than 100% energy efficiency, this device is distinguished by its ability to generate much greater thermal energy relative to the energy input.

The system achieved a Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP)—a key indicator of heating performance and energy efficiency—of 4.9 for underfloor heating at a supply water temperature of 35°C, demonstrating heating efficiency roughly five times greater than the amount of electricity used. Even at a supply water temperature of 55°C, it delivered a SCOP of 3.78. To protect against pipe freezing and burst failures during cold spells, a built-in electric heater and anti-freeze valve are installed inside the outdoor unit, while an additional heater has been designed to operate at the base of the product to assist drainage. The application of high-efficiency refrigerant compression technology ensures the stable supply of high-temperature water—up to 70°C—even in extreme cold conditions as low as minus 15°C.

User convenience has also been significantly enhanced. A touch display positioned on the product’s exterior enables intuitive control of various functions, and when connected to the SmartThings mobile application, users can monitor indoor and supply water temperatures in real time and control the system remotely.

Jongyeon Park, the first customer to adopt and use the new boiler, said, “As we approach winter and begin using heating in earnest, I look forward to greater convenience in using hot water and to saving on costs.”

Samsung Electronics plans to further strengthen the competitiveness of its heat pump-based heating solutions through its proprietary technology in line with the electrification trend in heating.

Yonghoon Kim, Executive Director of Samsung Electronics' Korea Business Division, said, “The Samsung Electronics EHS Heat Pump Boiler features high heating efficiency and stable high-temperature water supply. Based on proven technology verified in real residential settings, we aim to provide customers with a convenient and efficient user experience and contribute to expanding the high-efficiency heating market.”
