Samsung Electronics Establishes Domestic Production of EHS Heat Pump Boilers in Gwangju…Annual Production Capacity of 100,000 Units

Published2026.08.24 15:44

Trial production commences this month on 2,132㎡ line at Gwangju business site, full-scale mass production scheduled for end of September

Samsung Electronics is relocating its production base for the 'EHS heat pump boiler' from overseas to domestic markets in response to expanded deployment of heating electrification in Korea, establishing a mass production system at its Gwangju business site. The company states that Samsung Electronics is the first among heat pump manufacturers participating in heating electrification projects to transition overseas production to domestic production.

On the 24th, Samsung Electronics announced that it has established a dedicated production line for the 'EHS heat pump boiler' spanning 2,132㎡ within the second campus of its Gwangju business site in Gwangju, South Jeolla Province, and commenced trial production starting the 19th of this month.

Following process and equipment stability verification and finished product quality evaluation, full-scale mass production is scheduled to commence by the end of September.

The annual production capacity of the new line is 100,000 units or more, with all production volumes sold domestically.

Product Specifications and Efficiency

The 'EHS heat pump boiler' supplies heating and hot water by utilizing external air heat and electricity, generating approximately 5 times the heat relative to input power, according to Samsung Electronics.

The seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) is 4.9 based on outlet water temperature conditions of 35℃.

Compared to fossil fuel-based boilers, it offers higher energy efficiency and lower carbon emissions, and when integrated with renewable energy sources such as residential solar systems, energy costs can be reduced, the company stated.

Participation in Jeju Deployment Project and Nationwide Demonstration

Samsung Electronics is participating in Jeju Province's heating electrification deployment project this year and supplying products, with plans to expand supply by participating in the second-phase deployment project covering 1,418 households in the second half of the year.

Additionally, the company is conducting verification of heating, hot water performance, and energy efficiency in actual residential environments nationwide in areas including △Yangpyeong △Chungju △Namhae.

At Jeju Province and Samsung C&T's Residential Research Institute in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province, an 'EHS all-in-one' solution providing cooling, heating, and hot water through a single system is being demonstrated, with applicability ranging from single-family homes to multi-family housing under review.

Lim Sung-taek, Senior Vice President of Samsung Electronics' DA Division, stated, "Through establishing a domestic production system, we will respond more actively to heating electrification trends and accelerate the expansion of our heat pump business. By combining the technological capabilities we have built in the global market with our domestic manufacturing and service competencies, we will continue to present solutions tailored to Korean residential environments."
