January heat is unforgiving; even the guys who live in Nyandarua complain about it. So, what is it like to live in Mombasa’s humid heat, or Nairobi’s harsh mid-morning to afternoon sun, or Kisumu’s oven-like temperatures? Now is the time to think about getting an AC unit to beat the heat.
LG’s Residential Split AC Systems (RAC) fit nicely as a solution to the heat, while being friendly to the pocket in terms of electricity usage.
The innovative Dual Inverter Compressor technology increases the efficiency of LG’s residential AC while improving durability and reducing noise. The compressor has two rotors that adjust speed and offer a wider rotational frequency. The result is faster cooling, less noise, and a reduction in energy usage by up to 70 when compared with non-inverter ACs.
The energy savings are made even better if you get a unit with GEN+ Mode. LG understands that not every moment requires cooling at full power. When activated, GEN+ Mode allows the AC to operate at lower power levels while still maintaining comfortable temperatures.
This is particularly useful during the cooler months or evenings when the temperatures drop. Instead of running the AC at full power, GEN+ Mode intelligently adjusts performance to match actual cooling needs.
LG’s AC systems also address the air quality issues that many city residents face. They have built-in particles, preventing them from circulating throughout your home. The filters are equipped with ionisers where 3 million ions that sterilize the air going through the AC and remove harmful substances and odours surrounding the unit. The ionizer sterilises 99% of bacteria within 60 minutes. The result is not just cooler, but cleaner air.
One of the often-overlooked aspects of air conditioner maintenance is the moisture that accumulates inside the unity. LG’s residential AC systems feature an auto-dry function that addresses this issue intelligently. After you turn off the cooling function, the unit automatically runs its external fan to dry out any moisture inside the system. This simple yet effective method prevents mould growth, eliminates musty odours, and keeps your AC cleaner for longer.
Even for air conditioning, convenience remains key. That’s why LG has integrated smart technology, connecting the residential AC to the LG ThinQ app. Imaging being stuck in traffic, under the baking sun, and you just want to get into a cool house. With the ThinQ app paired to your residential AC unit, you can just turn it on and have a cold house waiting for you as soon as you step in the door.
The app also allows you to adjust temperature settings, switch between modes, and monitor energy consumption without having to search for the remote control.
When considering an air conditioning system for your home, the initial price is just one factors. LG’ Residential Split AC systems are a smart investment that pays dividends in the long term through lower electricity bills, reduced maintenance needs, and added health benefits.
The combination of fast cooling, energy efficiency through dual inverter technology and GEN+ Mode, mosquito protection, air purification, and self-cleaning capabilities make the units comprehensive solutions for the Kenyan home.
