LG has introduced the new ArtCool Plus Air Conditioners which comes with Wi-Fi capabilities. Users can now remotely control the air conditioners through the LG SmartThinQ app on their smartphones, enabling home owners to monitor household usage patterns on the go.

Embedded with Wi-Fi technology, users can now remotely control the LG ArtCool Plus Air Conditioners using the LG SmartThinQ app on their Android or iOS smartphones. With this function, homeowners can turn on the air conditioners through the app while outside, set the temperature, and come home to a comfortable, cool home. The app also comes with control and monitor, smart diagnosis and filter manager functions.

Other key features of LG ArtCool Plus Air Conditioners include:

- The Plasmaster Ionizer+. The ioniser emits over 3 million ions to sterilise aerial bacteria and harmful substances, while the plasmaster removes microscopic contaminants to supply fresh air. This in turn results in improved indoor air quality that is 99.9% cleaner¹.

- Auto cleaning. A dehumidifying action eliminates harmful substances while the advanced deodorising function keeps the indoor environment smelling fresh. This two-step process prevents the formation of bacteria and mould on the heat exchanger. The auto cleaning function continues to run for up to 30 minutes even after the unit is turned off to clean the interior.

- Four-way swing. The ArtCool Plus Air Conditioner is able to cool the entire room regardless of where it is installed. The five-step louvre offers control up to 55 degrees, swaying left and right, and has five different settings or full-auto swing.

Each ArtCool Plus Air Conditioner operates at a noise level of 19dB², thanks to its unique skew fan and brushless DC (BLDC) fan motor.

LG also introduced a new range of energy efficient multi-split inverter outdoor units. Made in Korea and boasting four and five ticks rating³, these low-noise solutions are equipped with a BLDC compressor which has improved efficiency and durability. With the addition of a pressure sensor, the compressor can sense target pressure and temperature simultaneously, improving its operational reliability.

“LG is continuously looking to upgrade its home solutions with meaningful capabilities,” said Terry Kim, Product Director of Air Conditioning & Energy Solutions, LG Electronics Singapore. “With the incorporation of Wi-Fi technology into our ArtCool Plus Air Conditioners, users can enjoy the benefit of the Internet of Things (IoT) for a seamless user experience in and out of home.”
