LG Electronics is raising its profile in Europe’s heat pump market with a series of large orders. The company is supplying heat pump solutions to a housing complex of about 1,000 households near Madrid and about 500 households in residential developments in Belgrade. It is installing its Multi V i system in Spain and providing tailored solutions in Serbia using Multi V i and Multi V s. LG is also deploying its Therma V R290 Monobloc across Europe.

Samsung Electronics launched its EHS heat pump boiler in South Korea to target the market replacing gas boilers, saying it can operate at minus 25 degrees Celsius and supply water up to 70 degrees under minus 15 degree conditions. The company outlined performance and rollout plans as government support programmes begin in major local authorities. It cited lower carbon dioxide emissions versus gas boilers and added features including low-noise operation and SmartThings connectivity.
