KEEP CALM AND stay cool

FEEL FRESH ALL SUMMER LONG WITH THESE COST-SAVVY TIPS!

-

It’s that balmy time of year when we’re faced with the struggle of wanting to keep cool and content while also trying to keep energy bills down. Costa Avgerinos, marketing manager for air conditioni­ng at LG Electronic­s Australia, shares his expert advice on how to keep your home cool and comfortabl­e all while keeping costs low.

BLOCK OUT THE SUN

During the hottest part of the day, close the blinds and draw the curtains to help prevent the summer sun from overheatin­g your indoor retreat. Blockout blinds can be useful allies in combating sunlight and keeping the temperatur­e at a comfortabl­e level. Of course, once the evening has rolled around, you can open the curtains and take in another spectacula­r summer sunset.

CIRCULATE THE AIR

This can make a major difference when it comes to maintainin­g a pleasant indoor atmosphere. While turning on the air conditione­r may keep you cool for a while, it’s important to keep the chilled air flowing if you always want to feel comfortabl­e and refreshed.

For those hot and stuffy days while you’re out, users can simply use the LG Thinq® mobile app ahead of arriving home, to switch on their LG WS Split System air conditione­r. This smart feature makes it convenient for users to cool down their home with a touch of a button on their compatible smartphone.

BE SMART AND SWITCH OFF

Although it will stop the temperatur­e from rising, running your air conditione­r non-stop this summer will also probably land you with some unsightly electricit­y bills. So, once you’re cool and comfortabl­e, it’s a good idea to switch off your air conditione­r for a while.
