Beat the heat beautifully with LG’s ARTCOOL AC

Despite the clouds being heavy with rain, there’s still quite a lot of heat in the air. Plus, the end of the year is always scorching. As temperatures continue to rise, electricity costs remain a significant concern for homeowners. Choosing the right way to beat the heat has never been more critical.

LG recently launched its premium LG ARTCOOL air conditioner in Kenya, offering a sophisticated solution that combines cutting-edge cooling technology with impressive energy savings, and elegant, minimalist design that effortlessly complements any modern home.

Barely a day goes by without seeing a Kenyan online talking about the burdening cost of electricity. Traditional air conditioners are notorious energy guzzlers. Many homeowners hesitate to install or even use their AC units even during the hottest months fearing the high electricity costs and unsightly appliances that disrupt their carefully curated spaces.

Unlike conventional air conditioners, which are known for being bulky energy guzzlers, the LG ARTCOOL stands out with its understated elegance and compact form. The unit’s refined lines, minimalist façade, and subtle presence make it a perfect fit for design-conscious homeowners who refuse to compromise on aesthetics. Whether mounted in a coastal apartment or a stylish city home, the ARTCOOL becomes a focal point that enhances the ambiance, not an eyesore to be hidden away.

However, the ARTCOOL AC isn’t all looks. It relies on LG’s proprietary Dual Inverter Compressor which delivers up to 70% in energy savings, and 40% faster cooling, all while operating at ultra-low noise levels. Where conventional air conditioners constantly switch on and off, wasting energy with each cycle, the DUAL Inverter adjusts its speed based on your cooling needs. Think of it as driving down the road: constantly braking and accelerating burns more fuel than keeping a steady, comfortable speed.

To be frank, many people would be surprised by the growing demand for air conditioning. Afterall, Kenyans are tough people, and a little heat doesn’t bother them that much. But the numbers tell a different story. The AC market is projected to grow at 12.56% in 2025 and 13.17% in 2026 driven by rising urbanization, demand for comfort, and demand for appliances that fit their aesthetic and pockets.

This growth is particularly evident in warmer areas across the country where the booming short-term rental market has created a new class of property investors. Hosts in Kenya’s coast and lakeside regions are discovering that efficient cooling includes saving on energy and having an attractive aesthetic.

For a home that runs the AC for about 6 hours daily, the 70% savings in energy costs translates to savings of thousands of shillings annually. The 40% faster cooling means you’re not waiting around for comfort. The perfect temperature is only a click of a button away.

Speaking of pressing buttons, the ARTCOOL AC includes the LG ThinQ smart technology, which allows users to control the unit remotely via their smartphone. Turn it off or on, adjust settings, and even monitor energy usage even when you are away from home.

Stuck in traffic at Nyali bridge on your way to the apartment you’ve rented with your friends? Turn on the AC before you get there, so you can step in from the intense heat, into a perfectly chilled house. Forgot to turn it off when you left for the beach? Turn it off as you sip your beer on the white sands.

Beyond the energy savings, LG backs the ARTCOOL with an incredible 10-year warranty on the compressor reflecting their confidence in the product’s durability. Customers want beauty, reliability and low maintenance costs, and that is what LG promises. The ARTCOOL is designed to handle dust and humidity that’s common in Kenya ensuring longevity and consistent efficiency through its lifespan.

ARTCOOL’s minimalist design, modern finish, and Wi-Fi enabled smart controls also position it as a compelling choice for design conscious and tech-savvy consumers. Purchasing a unit means getting both aesthetics and efficiency.

As Kenya moves towards more sustainable living and homeowners stay concerned about long-term costs, the LG ARTCOOL represents a smart investment. It is a way to beat the heat, and doing so intelligently, efficiently and affordably.
