Samsung Shares Its HVAC Innovations and Strategies

Samsung offers HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning ) solutions for both residential and commercial buildings. The company recently presented its latest innovations at the AHR Expo in Las Vegas, North America’s largest HVAC trade show. It also shared its strategies about how AI, energy efficiency, and smart connectivity are transforming the future of heating and cooling.

HVAC solutions for commercial and residential markets

At the AHR Expo, Samsung operated a 350-square-meter booth under the theme “Enabling Better Living.” The company presented its vision for next-generation HVAC solutions, highlighting the product’s tangible benefits in real-world environments. Hye-seong Baek, Vice President of Samsung’s Digital Appliances Business, shared the firm’s HVAC innovations and long-term strategies.

Samsung engaged with its partners at the exhibition to share its business vision and AI-based HVAC solutions. For commercial use, Samsung introduced a large-capacity air-conditioning system called DVM S2+, which offers high efficiency. The system features on-device AI that learns from its environment in real time, helping lower energy consumption.

In the residential segment, it introduced Hylex, an inverter-based outdoor unit that uses R454B refrigerant. Thanks to its compact design, high energy efficiency, and quiet operation, it is suitable for North American homes. The company also offers residential air-to-water heat pumps (AWHPs) for heating and hot water without depending on fossil-fuel boilers.

Sustainability plays a key role in increasing market demand

Samsung says sustainability and high efficiency are key trends in the US HVAC market. Customers now prefer high-efficiency inverter heat pump systems instead of high-energy-consuming, fixed-speed air conditioners. In homes, eco-friendly heat pumps are seeing solid demand, while in commercial buildings, VRF (Variable Refrigerant Flow) systems are gaining attention. Furthermore, AI-based predictive maintenance and optimization solutions are increasingly common.

In North America, roughly 70% of the HVAC market is residential, while about 30% is commercial. To solidify its residential distribution network, Samsung is collaborating with Samsung Lennox HVAC North America, its joint venture with Lennox. As for the commercial sector, the company is working with FläktGroup, the largest HVAC provider in Europe.

Samsung also highlighted its strength in hyperconnectivity. Thanks to SmartThings and SmartThings Pro, HVAC systems can connect with smart homes and buildings. The company’s goal is “to leap forward as a top-tier HVAC player in the North American market by leveraging advanced technologies and a diverse product portfolio.” It expects the HVAC market to increase by about 5% each year.
