AUCKLAND, New Zealand – July , 2024 - Samsung Electronics New Zealand recently announced the launch of its latest WindFree™ Heat Pump series, expanding Samsung’s range of home appliances for smarter homes, designed to elevate homeowners’ lifestyles with its Comfort Heating and Cooling, Energy-Saving, and Connected Living features.

Be Comfortably Cool with WindFree™

With the WindFree™ Heat Pump range, homeowners can now stay comfortably cool without feeling cold. WindFree™ Cooling mode disperses cool air gently and evenly through 23,000 micro air holes, creating an environment with a very low air speed to enable greater comfort without the unpleasant feeling of cold air blown directly onto your skin, perfect for those with sensitive and dry skin. This is supported by findings published in Allergology International on the effects of conventional cold airflow on the skin, versus WindFree™ ¹.  Minimising direct exposure to cold airflow in the study suggests it can help reduce skin irritation while consistently maintaining skin moisture levels. On the other hand, the Fast Cooling mode cool rooms quickly from corner to corner, so you’re always comfortable.

Experience an intelligent way of living with AI Auto. To help make life simple and efficient the WindFree^TM Heat Pump can automatically optimise the various modes by analysing the room conditions and usage patterns ². Taking into consideration your preferred temperature setting and the outside environment, it automatically switches to the most appropriate model ³, such as WindFree^TM Cooling, Fast & normal heating and cooling. Offering homeowners an intelligent way to enhance their comfort.

The WindFree Good Sleep mode can help you to create the ideal sanctuary for sleeping – without an unpleasant cold air flow or noise. Its temperature control and microhole air dispersion with WindFree Cooling can help you to set the environment for a deep, undisturbed sleep to wake up feeling fully refreshed. ⁴

Greater Energy Savings with AI Energy Mode

The WindFree™ Heat Pump goes beyond functionality and comfort, providing homeowners with greater energy savings. AI Energy Mode let’s you check the power use and allows you to estimate your electricity bill. By learning your usage patterns and analysing the room conditions, AI energy mode can reduce energy use by up to 20% ⁵ by adjusting the compressor’s frequency and managing temperature levels without sacrificing comfort.

Smarter Convenience with SmartThings

Tech-savvy homeowners can conveniently monitor the energy usage of their WindFree™ Heat Pump with the Samsung SmartThings app⁶. 

The WindFree™ Air Conditioner takes convenience to another level. Made possible by the SmartThings app,  come home to a comfortably cool space with the Welcome Cooling feature that allows users to turn on and control the air conditioner from afar, to set the room temperature at their preferred temperature and mode settings when near home.

Cool and Clean with Peace of Mind

                                                              Ensure hygienic operation for your WindFree™ Heat Pump with the Auto Clean function.

With the WindFree™ Heat Pump, homeowners also ensure more hygienic operation with the Auto Clean function by automatically drying the Heat Exchanger using a 3-step process ⁷. This removes moisture build-up inside by blowing out air for between 10 to 30 minutes ⁸; preventing build of bacteria and odours.
