Now More Than Ever, The Energy Efficiency Of Home Appliances Has Become A Necessity Rather Than A Preference

With the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia ranking as the most energy-consuming country in the Arab world and the 19th globally, rationalizing energy consumption is no longer a preference; it is a necessity. The residential sector accounts for 41% of consumed energy, and demand for electricity in the Kingdom is expected to exceed 120 gigawatts by the year 2030. The results of the 2019 Household Energy Survey issued by the General Authority for Statistics revealed that 55.29% of families in the Kingdom are interested in reducing and rationalizing their electricity consumption.

The refrigerator is one of the most common household appliances in the world and one of the most energy-consuming, especially since most families need more than one and it operates around the clock to keep food from spoiling, which results in wasted energy. Energy efficiency has become a key factor for consumers when choosing new home appliances, particularly refrigerators.

Another important factor to consider when choosing a refrigerator is health and hygiene, as storing food and beverages can result in the accumulation of germs, bacteria, and unpleasant odors, which requires cleaning the refrigerator on a regular basis to reduce the risk of food poisoning. With the development of the refrigerator industry, households no longer need to frequently clean their refrigerator or find ways to get rid of bacteria and dirt, as there are new technologies that now perform these functions.

LG Electronics has long invested in energy efficiency technology and it manufactures and designs the most advanced products in the world to offer outstanding performance in terms of ease of use, speed of response, and energy efficiency, in addition to several characteristics that meet modern needs and requirements. The inverter technology has played a major role in rationalizing energy consumption and consequently reducing electricity bills.

The InstaView™ smart refrigerator by LG is a leader in its industry in terms of energy consumption as it relies on LG’s exclusive Inverter Linear Compressor technology, which revolutionized energy consumption in refrigerators. This technology relies on only one friction point to move the piston, unlike the compressors of conventional refrigerators that rely on four friction points and end up consuming more wasted energy. This feature has given the InstaView™ smart refrigerator more durability and the ability to cool faster while consuming less energy.

In addition to reducing energy consumption, LG’s InstaView™ smart refrigerator includes the innovative and exclusive Hygiene Fresh™ feature that automatically kills 99.99% of bacteria using multi-layer filters and an advanced ventilation fan for filtering bacteria, viruses, and unpleasant odors through five-stage UV LED sterilization, through which fresh air is spread to all the refrigerator shelves. The Hygiene Fresh+™ feature also provides additional comfort by eliminating the need to change or replace filters.

LG’s interest in investing in technologies that reduce energy consumption in household appliances stems from its awareness of the necessity of this aspect in terms of economic return for consumers by choosing the smartest and most energy-efficient devices. LG also seeks to achieve customer satisfaction by providing high-quality, energy-efficient products that protect the environment from harmful carbon emissions.
