LG Coolest Air Conditioners Around
The LG air conditioners we know today were originally manufactured under the Goldstar Company brand, which was founded in 1958. The company manufactured both small consumer electronics and larges home appliances, including air conditioners, washing machines and refrigeration.
The company name was changed to LG Electronics in 1995 as the result of a merger with another Korean company named Lucky. The “Lucky-Goldstar” union was shortened to LG. The popular company slogan “Life’s Good” was actually invoked at a much later point in the company’s existence. The LG brand produces everything from flashy plasma flat panel televisions to cell phones and, of course, LG air conditioners. The brand name exudes high-end functionality coupled with clean and appealing styling.
Energy efficiency
There has been a lot of excitement about Inverter technology; LG Inverters are the peak of energy efficiency due to the innovative operation. Instead of using a constant speed compressor, this system uses a variable speed compressor, which means the cooling or heating capacity of the air conditioning, can be varied, to suit indoor conditions. The compressors of the Inverter air conditioners operate at low speeds and maintain comfortable temperatures. This gives a saving on electricity costs by about 44%, compared to conventional methods.
This makes the LG Inverter units more economical and efficient to operate, producing less noise and more environmental friendly. In order to match air conditioning requirements, inverter’s capacity will fluctuate, making inverter energy more efficient than a constant speed compressor. An Inverter compressor can also operate faster than conventional air conditioner, allowing the air conditioner to reach the set temperature faster and brings you comfort quicker.
With inverter technology comes more economical, powerful and silent air conditioning systems. Clean and fresh air conditioning is ensured, with a high level of cooling or heating performance and air purifying operations.
Solar Powered
LG Electronics is leading the way in energy efficiency with its first eco-friendly solar powered hybrid air conditioner. This conditioner is known as F-Q232LASS, which is really not the most alluring name, utilises solar energy as part of its power supply. This model can produce up to 70 watts of power per hour, enough to run the unit’s air purification processes. By simply combining power, generated through a solar panel, attached to the top of the outdoor unit
As a hybrid, this unit isn’t fully powered by solar power, but still has several energy saving features. The hybrid offers consumer’s big savings on their electricity bills and LG also claims the hybrid air conditioner can help reduce carbon dioxide.
As a clean, endless renewable energy source, solar power is becoming more accepted, both with the environmentally conscious and average consumers. At present the unit is only available in Korea, but should be introduced to the South African market, when there is a large enough local demand for the product. The division of LG air conditioners has a decidedly more Asian market focus and actually manufactures a great deal of ductless mini split units, which are scant to find elsewhere.
