LG Electronics (LG) has revealed its efficient, new DUALCOOL, residential air conditioner at the launch of its new B2B Academy in Lagos.
Leveraging LG’s latest air conditioning technologies, including the ThinQ function, the new DUALCOOL provides a year-round pleasant indoor environment.
In an attempt to address the needs of its esteemed consumers, either those who are health conscious and want to live a healthy lifestyle or those who are design conscious and want air conditioners that blend with their interiors, LG Electronics, in the last few years, has focused on innovative ways to deliver the next generation of quality products that will fit into the smart home of the future.
In the residential air conditioners market, some of the products that the company has achieved remarkable innovation success are the ARTCOOL and DUALCOOL Air Conditioners. LG ARTCOOL and DUACOOL are life changer because they are beyond just ACs as they are packed with health benefits such as the Plasmaster Ionizer+ that removes 99% of adhering bacteria and deodorizes and 40% fast cooling.
With its sophisticated ‘interior fit’ design and refined matte finish, the latest LG DUALCOOL air conditioner is a stylish addition to the home.
The advanced, new model integrates a dual outlet structure that delivers fast, optimized temperature control and gentle, indirect airflow that won’t leave users feeling chilly.
Embedded with advanced Wi-Fi technology, LG’s ThinQ application allows users to easily control the appliance from both inside and outside the home.
The intelligent application gives household members various personalized options, allowing them to choose and save their preferred air conditioning temperatures.
Hysoung Sub Ji, Managing Director, LG Electronics Nigeria, said at the official launch of the academy: “With the opening of the new academy centre, LG aims to further develop and respond to the growing needs of the Nigerian market.

We look forward to expanding our expertise in the market and provide eco-friendly high-level air conditioning systems.”
