Q. What kinds of air conditioners can I use at home?Samsung offers several types for different spaces and needs. Single split systems connect one outdoor unit to one indoor unit—great for cooling a single room.

Indoor unit options include the Bespoke AI WindFree™ Wall-mounted, Wall-mounted, 1-Way Cassette, 4-Way Cassette and 360 Cassette models.

Q. What should I think about before buying a Samsung wall air conditioner?When buying a Samsung wall air conditioner, consider the following:
- • Airflow technology: Check if it uses WindFree or conventional cooling modes.
- • Energy efficiency: Look for models with good energy ratings to save on bills
- • Heating function: Choose a unit with heating if you need year-round climate control.
- • Air filtration: Features that reduce dust and allergens for cleaner air.
- • Noise level: Quiet operation is important for comfort, especially in bedrooms.
- • Smart control: Compatibility with apps like SmartThings for remote control.
- • Ease of cleaning: Filters and parts should be easy to clean and maintain.
-
Q. How is a WindFree AC different from a conventional AC?Samsung WindFree AC works differently from a conventional AC by gently spreading air for a comfortable, draft-free cooling experience.
- • WindFree AC: In addition to blowing direct air strongly, it gently spread cool air through thousands of tiny holes to maintain a even temperature without blowing.
- • Conventional AC: Blows air directly and strongly, which can cause uneven cooling and uncomfortable drafts.
This makes WindFree AC more comfortable and pleasant for indoor use. -

Combines WindFree cooling with AI-powered comfort for a customized experience.
AI Fast & Comfort Cooling1 automatically adjusts settings based on room conditions.
AI Energy Mode2 reduces power consumption.
Comfort Drying controls humidity without over-cooling the room, keeping your space dry and pleasant even in damp weather.
SmartThings app3 lets you control, schedule, and monitor energy use from your phone.

Q. What AI functions do WindFree ACs have?Samsung WindFree air conditioners have smart AI functions that make cooling comfortable and efficient:
- • AI Fast & Comfort Cooling4: Analyzes your usage patterns and room conditions to activate Fast Cooling and then switch to WindFree Cooling to maintain an ideal temperature.
- • AI Energy Mode5: Automatically adjusts cooling levels based on your habits and room conditions to save energy without sacrificing comfort.
- • SmartThings integration6: Allows you to control, schedule, and monitor your air conditioner remotely from your phone.
All these features work together with WindFree technology to keep your space cool and draft-free, while saving energy and making daily use easier. -
Q. How do I maintain a Samsung AC?
- • Clean the filters every two weeks or as needed to keep airflow smooth.
- • Wipe the indoor and outdoor units gently with a soft cloth to remove dust.
- • Clear any debris around the outdoor unit to ensure proper ventilation.
- • Have a professional technician authorized by Samsung inspect the coils, refrigerant, and gas levels once a year.

Confirm the wall is strong enough to hold the unit securely.

Q. How do I choose AC capacity for my room?Choose an air conditioner with a BTU rating that matches your room size for efficient cooling without overworking the unit. For small rooms of around 20–25 m², look for models with 6,000–7,000 BTU. Medium rooms of 25–30 m² generally need 9,000–12,000 BTU. Larger spaces require higher BTU ratings. For best results, have a professional calculate the exact capacity needed based on your room’s layout, insulation, and sunlight
How to choose AC capacity for your room:
- • Match the BTU rating to your room size for efficient cooling without overworking the unit.
- • For small rooms (20–25 m²), look for models with 6,000–7,000 BTU.
- • Medium rooms (25–30 m²) generally need 9,000–12,000 BTU.
- • Larger rooms require higher BTU ratings accordingly.
For best accuracy, have a professional calculate the exact capacity based on your room’s layout, insulation, and sunlight exposure. -
Q. What do the Washable PM 1.0 and 4 in 1 PM 2.5 filters do differently in Samsung ACs?The PM 1.0 Filter line-up may differ between regions.
The Samsung’s washable PM 1.0 filter captures ultra-fine dust (1.0 μm) and has a micro fan to trap and remove particles. It’s washable and reusable.
The PM 2.5 filter captures larger particles (2.5 μm) and certain allergens, but usually needs replacing. -
Q. How can I properly throw away my old air conditioner when I buy a new Samsung AC?When replacing your air conditioner, arrange its proper disposal through your retailer’s take-back program or Samsung’s authorized recycling partners.
- • Air conditioners contain refrigerants and electronic parts that must be handled properly.
- • Certified disposal services are required to comply with local laws.
- • Never throw an air conditioner in the regular trash.
-
Q. Where can I buy replacement parts for my Samsung air conditioner?Samsung air conditioners may need consumables like air filters (washable PM 1.0, PM 2.5, or deodorizing types) and remote control batteries (AA or AAA). Filters should be cleaned or replaced every few months, depending on usage and air quality. Always use genuine Samsung parts for best performance, available from Samsung’s official parts store, certified dealers, or trusted online shops.
