The concept of comfort (residential and professional) is undergoing a period of strong transformation. Increasingly integrated, sustainable, and smart solutions are shaping the technological landscape of products and services. Energy efficiency, flexibility, and the ability to adapt to different spaces are the cornerstones of the offering. Companies in the HVAC+R, renewable energy, and water sectors are showcasing their latest-generation products at MCE 2026. Innovations in both finished products and components reveal a constantly evolving scenario.
High-tech HVAC solutions
In the HVAC sector, technology and sustainability come together to deliver systems that ensure high performance and low environmental impact. For example, one of Midea’s innovations in comfort is H-Pack, an indoor air-to-water heat pump designed to be installed entirely within the building. Created for residential use, H-Pack is a versatile solution, ideal for both new constructions and renovations. The system combines high energy efficiency, with class up to A+++, and the use of the natural refrigerant R290. The absence of an outdoor unit offers a practical advantage in contexts with architectural or condominium constraints.
Samsung also showcases its range of HVAC innovations, further expanded by the recent acquisition of FläktGroup. The proposed solutions include EHM heat pump chillers, DVM VRF systems, and EHS heat pumps. In particular, the new EHS Quint is an air-to-water heat pump that simultaneously provides heating, cooling, and domestic hot water. Thanks to the exclusive layout of the refrigeration circuit, which separates the refrigeration line from the hydraulic line, EHS Quint is configured as a “hybrid” heat pump system, capable of maintaining the simplicity of installation of a monobloc while offering the comfort typical of direct expansion. Another new product is WindFree Première+. The air conditioner features artificial intelligence, which allows the system to learn user habits, adapt autonomously to environmental conditions, and continuously optimize energy consumption and comfort.
As regards to LG, among its proposals the company introduces three new indoor units for air-to-water heat pump systems: Combi Unit, Hydro Unit and Control Unit. The new lineup features compact design and a 6.8-inch color display. Besides, the indoor units are compatible with LG THERMA V Monobloc outdoor units with R290 refrigerant.
Among Haier‘s new solutions, the Multi 3S system stands out. It is capable of managing cooling, heating, and domestic hot water through a single outdoor unit. Thanks to heat recovery and the possibility of choosing among different internal units, it represents an ideal solution for apartments and villas.
Besides, one of Mitsubishi Electric’s innovative proposals is the Kirigamine Style MSZ-LZ air conditioner. The product features R290 refrigerant, smart sensors for clean air, A+++ energy efficiency, and comfort without annoying drafts.
Then, considering the energy requalification of buildings through the heat pumps, Olimpia Splendid brings to MCE six different retrofit models, characterised by increasing levels of efficiency, electrification and impact on the building. The company presents solutions such as the Air Hybrid System. It allows gas heating to be easily integrated with air-to-air heat pumps without an outdoor unit, thanks to intelligent wireless controls installed on existing radiators.
As forHitachi Cooling & Heating, among the new products is the airH2O 500 air-to-water heat pump with R454C refrigerant, DC inverter compressor and high leaving water temperature up to 70°C. Besides, the airH2O 400 M high capacity heat pump presents wide operating range (-10°C/55°C), class A+++ (heating and cooling) and R290 refrigerant.
Among the HVAC solutions presented by Hisense is Air Master, the new air conditioning system that integrates artificial intelligence and Smart Eye Pro technology. The product detects presence and movement and automatically adjust airflow and direction.
Finally, one of the innovations from Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions Europe is Aquarea EcoFlex. The hybrid heat pump system is designed to deliver low carbon, high efficiency heating, cooling and domestic hot water. The product presents heat recovery function; bi-heating (allowing both air-to-air and air-to-water heating to operate together or independently); and integrated nanoe X technology.
The latest developments in the world of components and technology supplies
Component and technology manufacturers are showcasing a wide variety of solutions at MCE 2026. For example, Oxyweld unveils its new compact smart brazing station with 3-in-1 functions. It is compatible with all Oweld oxy-hydrogen gas generators.
As regards to Zoppas Industries, the company proposes its technologies specifically designed to support the electrification of heat and integration with renewable energy sources. Besides, it shows its “smart” thermal management systems, engineered to ensure durability and precision in the most sophisticated HVAC solutions. The company also focuses on co-design engineering.
Comestero Sistemi, on the other hand, introduces the new Erp2026 AC/EC fans with diameters up to 900 mm, 600 V triple-cell EMI filters for HVAC systems, and EC motors for A2L and A3 environments.
Among Thermowatt’s new solutions is the new TMEC3E Wi-Fi, company’s latest evolution in mechatronic smart thermostats for electric water heaters. It combines precise electronic temperature control, high‑reliability mechanical safety with manual reset, and dual‑band Wi‑Fi 6 (2.4/5 GHz) connectivity. With its self‑learning ECO mode and weekly Scheduling, TMEC3E Wi‑Fi optimizes heating cycles to ensure hot water when needed while reducing energy waste, supporting the achievement of ErP energy class “B” depending on the heater configuration. The Boost function quickly provides extra hot water during peaks, while OTA updates keep the device continuously up to date.
Besides, Meccanotecnica Umbra shows its mechanical seal solutions for pumps and circulators designed for HVAC and water management applications: proprietary wear-resistant materials, low-friction designs to reduce power consumption and operating temperatures, and configurations engineered for long service life and continuous operation.
As regards to Omega Fusibili, the company showcases a selection of electromechanical components designed to be integrated into industrial and professional systems and equipment. Among the solutions on display: electrical protection components, connectors and connection systems, and motion control solutions.
C.A.E.M. also exhibits its technological solutions. The company realizes: electric thermostats with copper or stainless steel bulb and capillary; stuffing-boxes; boxed thermostats for heating; single or bipole safety thermostats; adjustable thermostats for heating and household appliances. It also produces pressure switches and sensing elements with diaphragms or bellows filled with liquid or gas.
Finally, for Garnet, attending the trade show is an opportunity to discuss with partners and customers the latest technological advancements shaping the world of automation and components for increasingly efficient and reliable systems. Garnet has exclusive representation of important manufacturers of components for automation, robotics and automotive.
