‘Reduce your ecological footprint with LG appliances by Abans’
When the electricity tariff is increased by a staggering 75% a single unit makes a world of difference. Energy efficiency has become a deciding purchasing factor. Over the years, Abans has succeeded in rolling out numerous energy-efficient products that fuse cutting-edge technology with eco-friendly solutions. Its line-up of energy-efficient products includes everything the general public would need to curb the prevailing energy crisis.
One of the strongest brands in the Abans brand portfolio, LG incorporates innovative technologies into their products to reduce energy use. LG InstaView Door in Door Refrigerators, with the Inverter Linear Compressor, save up to 42 percent of electricity. LG’s DoorCooling+ technology keeps contents fresh for longer, while Linear Cooling reduces temperature fluctuations, further conserving energy. The InstaView Door-in-Door refrigerator features an innovative glass panel that lights up when knocked on twice. It allows one to see inside the refrigerator without having to open the door and prevents the escape of cold air up to 41 percent.
The LG Dual Inverter Anti-Virus Air Conditioner also saves more energy than conventional inverter air conditioners. The LG Dual Inverter Compressor translates to faster cooling that lasts longer and is quieter. The Super Convertible 5-in-1 Cooling Control allows the reduction of cooling capacity from 100 to 80, 60 or 40 percent and increases to 110 percent for faster cooling. The LG Dual Inverter Anti-Virus Air Conditioner uses the R32 refrigerant composed of organic compounds. Combined with the Inverter Compressor it cools up to 40 percent faster with higher efficiency and saves up to 70 percent of energy.
The Inverter Direct Drive in LG Washer Dryers saves energy up to 39 percent by choosing the best washing motion for clothes, based on the weight and softness of the fabric. Turbo Wash 360° washes clothes thoroughly in just 39 minutes, keeping water and electricity consumption to a minimum. The Twin Washer model helps save even more time, energy and water by doing two loads simultaneously, so the cost is almost halved. The LG Front Loader Washers guarantee up to 39 percent of energy savings while also conserving water.
