DESIGNED FOR COLD CLIMATES
DESIGNED FOR COLD CLIMATES
Along with the ability to provide 100% heating performance at 5°F (-15°C) with high heating output at -22°F (-30°C), the Max Heat® unit is equipped with an integral base pan heater to defrost and drain away water to avoid ice buildup.
-
ELIMINATES COLD DRAFTS
WindFree™* Cooling technology maintains the desired temperature in your home and eliminates cold drafts and reduces energy use by delivering air through micro holes on the indoor unit to produce a dispersed and gentle flow of air defined as "still air."
-
Energy Savings
ENERGY SAVINGS
The Motion Detection Sensor (MDS) on our WindFree™* Premium optimizes energy savings and comfort in any space. Users can choose between direct airflow, to have air follow the user around the room, or indirect airflow, where the user can have the air blow away from them in the room. When the MDS recognizes that there are no occupants in the space, the system will automatically implement energy saving measures to reduce energy use.

EMERGENCY HEAT OPERATION
EMERGENCY HEAT OPERATION
Auxiliary heat sources like baseboard radiators, hot water coils, and duct heaters can automatically activate in emergency situations to provide reliable heat if the primary system encounters issues. This capability is available for select error codes, ensuring safe operation when needed most.
-
SMART HEAT SOURCE MANAGEMENT
SMART HEAT SOURCE MANAGEMENT
During extreme temperatures, you can choose to prioritize your secondary heat source as the primary method, ensuring reliable warmth when needed. Conversely, when temperatures rise, the secondary heat source is restricted, allowing the energy-efficient heat pump to take over. These features offer the perfect balance of comfort, cost savings, and sustainability, giving you flexible control to reduce energy bills and your carbon footprint.
-
TOTAL CONTROL
Samsung’s SmartThings app puts control at your fingertips, allowing you to remotely adjust temperatures, customize settings, and receive real-time updates on your system’s performance. With energy efficiency more important than ever, SmartThings Energy helps you reduce your carbon footprint and lower energy costs. It analyzes your usage habits and provides personalized recommendations to improve efficiency. Plus, it lets you easily manage the energy consumption of not just your Samsung appliances, but your entire home.
-
SEAMLESS OPERATION
AI Auto Mode monitors factors such as indoor temperature, outdoor temperature, set temperature, and operating time to learn the patterns within your home to automatically adjust system operation to maximize occupant comfort, modernizing residential HVAC systems.
-
Freeze Wash
FREEZE WASH
The Freeze Wash function allows users to maintain optimal performance with the push of a button. Freeze Wash quickly frosts the air side of the indoor unit heat exchanger, defrosts the ice, and then dries the coil washing away dirt and dust.
-
COMFORT HUMIDITY CONTROL
COMFORT HUMIDITY CONTROL
This feature removes excess moisture from the air, keeping your space feeling fresh and dry while using up to 19% less energy. You can easily check humidity levels using the wired controller or SmartThings app, give you simple, convenient control over your comfort.
