Samsung Electronics Establishes Dedicated EHS Heat Pump Training Center to Accelerate Electric HVAC Market Expansion

Practical Training Center Established at Suwon CS Academy
Hands-On Experience from Plumbing Installation
to AI-Based Diagnostics
Full-Scale Mass Production Set to Begin
at Gwangju Facility in Late September

Samsung Electronics announced on September 10 that it has established a dedicated Eco Heat System (EHS) Heat Pump Training Center within the CS Academy in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, as part of its effort to strengthen its professional installation and service infrastructure. The company plans to enhance field response capabilities related to EHS heat pumps in line with the government’s goal of distributing 3.5 million high-efficiency heat pumps by 2035.

The EHS heat pump is an integrated solution that uses air heat and electricity to supply heating, cooling, and hot water. Its thermal efficiency significantly surpasses that of conventional fossil fuel boilers, which have energy efficiency below 100%. As installation quality and maintenance capabilities for piping systems directly impact actual performance in residential environments, Samsung Electronics is set to dramatically bolster field effectiveness by introducing hands-on, customized operational training courses for B2B partners and installation engineers.

The newly opened training center replicates real-world conditions with equipment such as a hot water control kit, underfloor-heating water distributor, piping systems, and fan coil units (FCU). Participating engineers will directly practice the entire process, from piping installation and product setup to commissioning using the AI-based Home Appliance Smart Diagnosis System (HASS). Instructors include in-house EHS master specialists from Samsung Electronics and external professionals specializing in boilers and piping systems. Previously, in April, Samsung Electronics conducted education sessions for about 200 engineers in Jeju, focusing on thermal storage systems that convert and store surplus solar energy as heat.

Samsung Electronics also plans to establish a dedicated EHS heat pump boiler production line at its Gwangju plant in the Gwangju Metropolitan City, with full-scale mass production scheduled to begin at the end of next month. This will help secure a stable supply chain while also expanding HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) professional training at key overseas sites in the Netherlands, the United States, and the United Kingdom. In addition, the company is pursuing global technical validation and demonstration projects from multiple angles, such as extreme cold and heavy snow reliability tests at the Samsung HVAC Test Lab in Asahikawa, Hokkaido, collaboration with the Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden and Korea University, and the ‘EHS All-In-One’ demonstration at a single-family house in Aewol-eup, Jeju.

Seongtaek Lim, Vice President of the Digital Appliances (DA) Business Division at Samsung Electronics, stated, “Heat pumps are a core solution for implementing high-efficiency, eco-friendly heating, so it is crucial to cultivate expertise in installation, commissioning, and service. Following the establishment of a domestic production base, we will continue to expand our professional training and service infrastructure to actively drive the electrification of heating in Korea.”
