Transform Your Home into an Oasis

Oct. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- JOHANNESBURG, South Africa –October,10  2014 – Stifling heat and humid nights at home go hand-in-hand with summer, bringing with them weariness, headaches and sleepless nights. Yet there are ways to stay cool and comfortable as temperatures start rising.

Michael McKechnie, Divisional Head for Digital Air Solutions at Samsung Electronics SA, says “The secret to having a healthy, climate controlled environment at home is to consider the latest air-conditioning technology, ensuring the most comfortable room temperature.”

McKechnie provides the following insight to ensure a cool and relaxing season:

Use an air-conditioning system

Thanks to advances in technology and design, it’s easy to install systems that offer both heating and cooling, allowing for benefits all year round. Samsung’s range of Triangle air-conditioners regulates air temperature for all seasons, it is energy efficient and the AR9000 range comes with built in Wi-Fi. This permits you to remotely create the perfect temperature by being able to switch it on 30 minutes before you get home from a hot and stuffy day.

“The Digital Inverter ensures that the home is kept at the right temperature without drawing excessive energy,” says McKechnie. “Our systems use bigger blades with wider inlets, which expel air further and regulate room temperature more efficiently.”

Cut the costs

Many people associate air-conditioning solutions with high electricity bills, when in fact, they are one of the most energy efficient means of residential cooling or heating. Samsung’s Triangle range of air-conditioners includes an inverter which ensures that the system only runs at the required speed and energy consumption is kept to a minimum.

Manage allergies

Summer is characterised by hay fever and allergies and investing in an air purifier system can help to relieve these symptoms

When purchasing an air-conditioning system, keep this in mind and look for built-in features that help release the discomfort of seasonal allergy problems. Technology that assists in providing a cleaner and healthier environment by neutralising the bacteria, fungi and pollen that causes allergic reactions is important.

“If you have hay fever or asthma, you already realise that clean air contributes to your well-being. Airborne allergens, viruses and infectious bacteria often go undetected. With Samsung’s range of air-conditioners, you do not need a stand-alone air purifier, the unit controls the temperature and keep the air you breathe clean,” says McKechnie.

Air-conditioners also slow the growth of mould by removing excess humidity from the room. The Samsung Auto Clean function prevents moisture from accumulating by running the fan even when the unit is turned off.  As a result, both the air-conditioner and the room remain dry and clean.

Two-step cooling

“Sitting at a desk with a fan blowing air will not aid comfort nor concentration,” says McKechnie. “The same applies to blasts of freezing cold air across one’s back and shoulders – this could lead to discomfort or headaches. Samsung’s technology has introduced two-step cooling that keeps air, flowing seamlessly around the room at the right temperature.”

The technology adjusts fan speed and wind direction automatically and there is no need to constantly turn the air-conditioning unit off and on to stop shivering.

Sleep soundly

Heat and humidity can contribute to feeling exhausted, even after a night’s rest. High summer temperatures can make it difficult to fall asleep and gradual dehydration due to the heat can cause interrupted sleep or even cause mild headaches. Utilising modern air-conditioners during the night offers unique benefits such as a quiet sleep mode that keeps the air at the required temperature. The perfect climate controlled environment will ensure uninterrupted rest and the following day is bound to be a productive day.

“Besides staying cool, summer remains a challenging time of the year for fighting allergies and sleeping comfortably, due to increased temperatures. Innovative and cost-effective digital air solution technology provides solutions for residential use and Samsung’s products have been uniquely designed to support consumers all year round,” concludes McKechnie.
