As temperatures drop across South Africa, the question on every homeowner’s mind is how to keep warm without sending energy bills through the roof. While traditional heaters (like electric or gas) may seem like the obvious choice, LG’s Residential Air Conditioning (RAC) units offer a smarter, more energy-efficient solution that not only warms your home but also helps you save.


Why LG Air Conditioners Are Ideal for Winter Heating

LG’s range of wall-mounted RAC units, including the Artcool and Standard ranges, are equipped with Dual Inverter Compressor technology, a feature that ensures rapid heating with up to 57% energy savings compared to conventional systems. Unlike electric heaters that use resistive elements to generate heat, LG air conditioners use heat pump technology, which moves heat rather than generating it – a far more energy-efficient method.

Fast, Efficient, and Even Heating

4-Way Swing and Jet Mode: Distributes warm air evenly and quickly throughout the room.

Vertical airflow: Ensures heated air flows downward, keeping your feet warm and your comfort consistent.

Fast Heating Mode: Heats rooms up to 22% faster than conventional systems.


Whisper-Quiet Operation

Operating at just 19dB, LG’s RACs are as quiet as a library – making them ideal for bedrooms, home offices, or nurseries.

Perfect for Solar-Powered Homes

LG’s energy-efficient technology makes these units solar-friendly. When paired with an inverter and battery system:

Heating can be run during the day with solar power alone

Smart usage via LG ThinQ app allows remote temperature control, scheduling, and energy monitoring

Advanced Active Energy Control lets users set their power consumption in three stages – ideal for load shedding and battery backup management.

Features like Wi-Fi connectivity, Smart Diagnosis, and auto-cleaning offer convenience and reliability. LG’s ThinQ app transforms your smartphone into a remote for your indoor climate – from anywhere.

In Summary: Why Switch to LG Air Conditioners for Heating?
