Key highlights
💨
WindFree — no draft, just warmth
23,000 micro-holes disperse air at speeds below 0.15 m/s — below what humans can feel. Eliminates the uncomfortable 'cold draft' sensation of conventional wall units
🔇
19 dBA — the quietest unit in this directory
At 19 dBA the WindFree Comfort is quieter than the ambient noise of a quiet bedroom — essentially inaudible for light sleepers
🧠
AI Auto Comfort
Learns your preferred temperature and schedule over time, adjusting operation automatically. Increasingly precise over the first month of use — reducing energy waste
🏠 Suitable for
Living roomsBedroomsOpen-plan officesSupplement heating
Compatibility note: N/A — air-to-air system only. A SEAI-registered heat pump installer will complete a heat loss assessment and radiator compatibility check before installation — this is required as part of the grant process.

🧠 Compatible smart energy devices
Smart thermostats and energy management systems reduce heat pump running costs by 15–30% by scheduling operation around cheap electricity, solar generation and occupancy patterns. Browse all smart energy products →
🔋 Pair with battery storage — run your heat pump on solar
The most cost-effective way to run a heat pump in Ireland: pair with solar panels and a home battery. Solar generates free electricity during the day; the battery stores surplus for evening and overnight heat pump operation — reducing your annual electricity bill by 70–85%. Browse all batteries →
💰 SEAI Solar + Battery grant: The SEAI Solar PV Home Grant covers up to €1,800 for solar panel installation. Combined with the heat pump grant (up to €12,500) and the EV home charger grant (€300), the maximum SEAI support for a complete solar + heat pump + EV system is approximately €14,600.

☀️ Pair with solar panels — maximise your SEAI grants in Ireland
A heat pump and solar panels are the most powerful renewable combination available to Irish homeowners today. Your Samsung heat pump runs entirely on electricity — solar generates that electricity from your roof at zero cost. Both qualify for substantial SEAI grants. See the full Solar Panel Directory for all models available in Ireland.

💡 Apply BEFORE installation begins. Both the Heat Pump and Solar PV grants require a SEAI Letter of Offer before any contractor starts work. You can apply for both in the same process — ask your installer to coordinate a combined application. Also note: 9% VAT applies to heat pump supply and installation (reduced from 23% since 1 Jan 2025).
🌡️ Why a heat pump and solar are the perfect pair: A heat pump runs entirely on electricity — and a solar system generates free electricity from your roof. A typical 4kWp solar system generates ~3,400–3,800 kWh/year. Your Samsung WindFree Comfort 5 kW uses ~3,000–5,000 kWh/year for heating and hot water. With both installed, your solar covers a large portion of your heat pump's electricity use — at zero cost. The combination is the highest-savings renewable upgrade available to Irish homeowners today.
🏠 Upgrade your whole home — starting with the air-to-air
The WindFree Comfort 5 kW is an excellent first step — efficient room heating and cooling that reduces your reliance on oil or gas immediately. Most homeowners then add solar to power it for free.

A well-maintained Samsung heat pump should last 15–25 years, with the compressor unit typically lasting 15–20 years and the overall system potentially longer with component replacement as needed. Annual servicing by a qualified F-Gas / heat pump engineer is recommended to maintain efficiency and catch issues early. The 5-year warranty covers manufacturing defects. Annual degradation in SCOP is typically minimal in well-maintained systems — keeping your running costs stable over the full lifetime.
WindFree mode is Samsung's patented system that, once the room reaches target temperature, switches from active airflow (louvre open, fan blowing) to passive dispersal through 23,000 micro-holes distributed across the panel face. Air exits at below 0.15 m/s — below the threshold the human body can detect as airflow. The room maintains temperature without the uncomfortable sensation of warm or cold air blowing on you directly.
If eliminating the airflow sensation is a priority — particularly in bedrooms, home offices, or for people who find air conditioning drafts uncomfortable — the WindFree Comfort is worth the extra cost. Its SCOP 5.10 is the highest of any air-to-air unit in this directory, meaning lower annual electricity costs. The 19 dBA indoor noise level is also the quietest in this directory. For pure comfort, Samsung's WindFree is the premium choice.
