Homes consume large amounts of energy. Each household has a collection of home appliances and digital services. It has been estimated that more than 25 percent of the world’s energy consumption is being used for the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) as well as the lighting of residential and commercial buildings. Therefore, by concentrating on making this aspect of human life more efficient and less wasteful, there are significant gains to be made in protecting the environment. To achieve successes in this endeavor, technological innovations are crucial.

In this regard, the inverter air conditioner has been touted as a truly next generation air conditioner because of its impressive energy efficiency. When compared with conventional air conditioning units, inverter air conditioners take advantage of unique technological innovations that can control cooling and heating appropriately based on the ambient temperature. Through this, inverter air conditioners achieve strong performance levels while at the same time cutting back on the amount of electricity being used.

LG’s latest inverter air conditioners are among the major air conditioning companies to have released air conditioning products based on inverter technology. LG’s latest inverter air conditioner is an example of how clever technology can make a significant difference. This year’s Dual Inverter has an industry leading Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) rating of 13, and Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) rating of 13. This means the air conditioner has achieved high reductions in energy consumption, in this case by up to 53 percent over conventional air conditioners and previous models. “This is made possible because LG has combined its technological know-how with a positive corporate philosophy of making the world a better place,” the company said.

Traditional air conditioners consume a lot of energy while they operate. “One of the ways in which the Dual Inverter reduces energy consumption is by delivering a superior performance in less time. Air is cooled down faster so that the required temperature is reached more quickly,” LG said.

Testing showed that the Dual Inverter could reliably decrease a room’s temperature by 5 degree Celsius in just 3 minutes, a full 20 percent faster than non-inverter models.

Faster cooling or heating is not restricted to small rooms. Even wider spaces can be climate controlled in shorter times.
