SamsungElectronics announced on the 10th that it has established a “dedicated EHS heat pump training center” at the Suwon CS CORPORATION Academy in Gyeonggi Province. This initiative aims to enhance the on-site response capabilities of B2B partners and installation engineers, as the government pushes to deploy 3.5 million high-efficiency heat pumps by 2035 to achieve carbon neutrality.
EHS heat pumps are integrated solutions that utilize natural ambient air heat and electricity to provide indoor heating, cooling, and hot water. Since actual performance depends not only on product efficiency but also on the quality of piping systems tailored to residential environments, as well as the standards of installation and maintenance, expertise in installation and service is crucial.
The new training facility has been designed to replicate an actual installation site, featuring △alternating-cycle and thermal storage water tanks along with hot water control kits △underfloor heating hot water manifolds △plumbing systems △fan coil units (FCUs), among other components. Trainees can practice the entire process, from water distribution system construction and product installation to commissioning and service inspections using “HASS (Home Appliances Smart Service),” an AI-based smart diagnostic program for home appliances.
The training is led by SamsungElectronics’ in-house EHS (Environment, Health, and Safety) masters and external experts in the boiler and plumbing fields. Earlier this past April, SamsungElectronics also conducted training on thermal storage systems—which convert and store surplus solar power as thermal energy—for approximately 200 installation engineers in the Jeju region.
SamsungElectronics operates specialized heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) training programs not only in Korea but also in countries such as the Netherlands, the United States, and the United Kingdom.
Lim Seong-taek, Vice President of SamsungElectronics’ DA Business Division, stated, “Heat pumps are a key solution for achieving high-efficiency, eco-friendly heating, so it is crucial to build professional capabilities in installation, commissioning, and service.” He added, “Following the establishment of a domestic production base, we will continue to expand our specialized training and service infrastructure to actively support the widespread adoption of electric heating in Korea.”
Meanwhile, SamsungElectronics plans to establish a domestic production line for EHS heat pump boilers at its Gwangju facility in the Gwangju Metropolitan City, Jeollanam-do, and is set to begin full-scale mass production starting at the end of this month.
