During scorching summers, many households face million-dollar electricity bills; causing alarm as they observe neighbors using the same electrical equipment but paying only half as much.

In summer, 'heated' electricity bills
Skyrocketing electricity bills during summer are a headache for most urban households. Statistics from summer 2017 in Hanoi showed record-high electricity consumption, reaching 71,082,000 kWh, a 163% increase compared to the average of previous months. There were even weekends when household electricity consumption surged by 200 to 300%. This situation may repeat in 2018 with weather forecasts predicting similar heatwaves to those in 2017.
The exorbitant electricity bills prompt many people to switch to or upgrade to energy-efficient air conditioners.

Air conditioners: Quick cooling and popular electricity savings
As consumers, you have the right to choose a highly advantageous air conditioner despite the significant upfront cost. While air conditioner purchase is a one-time investment, electricity bills and maintenance expenses are regular and long-term commitments.
Recognizing this reality, major electronics companies continuously update their products with new technologies to meet evolving customer trends.

Prominently, in 2018, LG officially implemented Dual Inverter technology across 100% of its air conditioner models. With this technology, under LG's testing conditions, the Dual Cool Inverter air conditioner saves up to 70% energy consumption and cools rooms 40% faster than conventional Non-Inverter air conditioners.

Expert Tips from Anh Quốc Hưng, an Electrical Systems Engineer, on Choosing the Right Air Conditioner: Besides considering the room size to select the appropriate capacity, it's crucial to also take into account the number of people who regularly occupy the space. In a larger household, the air conditioner must operate at full capacity to meet cooling demands. Conversely, in smaller households, the air conditioner should provide comfortable cooling without consuming excess electricity. Addressing this need, the latest generation of air conditioners like the LG Dual Cool Inverter features an outstanding function that enables users to actively control energy consumption. Depending on the number of people present in the room, users can simply press a button to select the energy consumption level from 4 power modes: 100%, 80%, 60%, 40%.

In addition, the demand for antibacterial air conditioners to ensure clean and safe air is a priority for many families with young children. The air purification line of LG Dual Cool Inverter meets this requirement. Upon startup, the PM 1.0 sensor attached to the air conditioner automatically determines the air cleanliness and notifies users via the indicator light on the unit. If the air quality doesn't meet standards, the unit will automatically emit 5 million ions to 'capture' harmful pollutants, dust, bacteria, creating indoor air as fresh as nature. A notable feature of this new generation LG air conditioner is that users can activate the air purification function through the Air Purify shortcut button on the remote control without needing to turn on the cooling function. This is particularly suitable for families with young children who wish to limit excessive air conditioning usage for their little ones while still maintaining clean indoor air.
