Samsung’s WindFree™ Air Conditioner Turns Up the Heat This Winter
A Smarter, Safer Way to Stay Warm This Cold Season

Temperatures have dropped across the country, and Samsung is inviting households to rethink how they keep warm this winter. Traditionally seen as a summer-only solution, air conditioners are stepping into a new season of relevance. With Samsung’s innovative WindFree™ Air Conditioning range, families no longer have to choose between staying warm and staying healthy.
Samsung’s WindFree™ gently disperses warmth while reducing cold drafts and irritation to sinuses and sensitive skin. This intelligent climate control solution is changing the game and challenging the outdated idea that air conditioners are just for cooling. As more people prioritise wellness and smarter living, the WindFree™ range is designed for total comfort, all year round.
Healthier Homes for the Whole Family
As South Africans spend more time indoors during the colder months, indoor air quality becomes more important than ever. The WindFree™ units are equipped with Samsung’s advanced filtration system, which captures dust, allergens and bacteria. For families with small children, people with asthma, or wellness-conscious individuals, this is more than comfort – it’s peace of mind.
Sleep Better, Feel Better
Temperature swings at night can disrupt your sleep and leave you feeling tired the next day. Samsung WindFree™ units (only AR9500 and AR8500) use AI Auto Comfort and Good Sleep Mode to help maintain a stable environment throughout the night. The result? Improved sleep quality, better mood, and more energy to be productive and conquer your daily routine.

Quiet, Energy-Efficient Heating
Noise and high energy bills shouldn’t come with winter heating. Samsung WindFree™ units operate at ultra-low noise levels – making them perfect for remote work, meditation, or family movie nights. And thanks to AI-powered energy efficiency, models like the AR8500 and AR9500, they adapt to your usage patterns and room conditions to optimise performance and reduce electricity consumption. This makes them a sustainable choice during the winter season.
- The AR8500 air conditioner combines powerful cooling performance with sleek design, making it an ideal choice for modern homes. Equipped with advanced Digital Inverter technology, it provides efficient and energy-saving operation while maintaining a comfortable temperature.
- The AR9500 elevates comfort with its premium features and smart cooling technology. It offers precise temperature control through AI-powered sensors that adapt to your environment, ensuring optimal comfort and energy efficiency.
Smarter Living Starts Here
With built-in SmartThings1 compatibility, you can control your premium WindFree™ unit from your smartphone, set schedules, monitor energy usage, and even receive maintenance alerts – all with a tap. Whether you’re a parent trying to maintain a healthy environment for your kids, someone managing allergies or asthma, or simply seeking a quieter, more energy-efficient way to stay warm, Samsung’s WindFree™ range is the intelligent choice for the modern home.
