Samsung Electronics partners with Hartford Steam Boiler

Samsung Electronics announced Smart Home Savings, a new service developed with HSB that can help US consumers lower home insurance premiums by recognizing the protective capabilities of existing Samsung home appliances connected to the SmartThings platform.

By opting into Smart Home Savings through the SmartThings app, customers let participating insurance carriers know about the protective features of their connected appliances. Homes with appliances that can detect early risk indicators like small water leaks may be recognized as having a stronger safety profile. The service supports refrigerators, washers, dryers, ovens, ranges, OTRs, and dishwashers (models 2020 or later).

In 2025, Samsung and HSB partnered with major US home-insurance carriers to pilot Smart Home Savings in Florida and early results resulted in “meaningful premium reductions for many.” Based on this success, Samsung and HSB are expanding the program to more states and will extend availability to Europe and other global regions throughout this year.

“Samsung is committed to delivering practical, everyday benefits through connected-home innovation. Smart Home Savings is designed to help households realize the benefits of personalized smart insurance, and we will continue working with partners to expand safer, smarter living experiences around the world.” – Hyesoon Yang, Executive Vice President and Head of New Biz Team for the Digital Appliances (DA) Business at Samsung Electronics.

“HSB, through our proprietary platform, is helping connect Samsung and insurers to give families access to both protection and affordability. A connected home is a safer home, the early results are strong, and we look forward to expanding the service with leading carriers across the US.” – Greg M. Barats, President and Chief Executive Officer of HSB Group Inc.
