One of the things that you can easily do at home is to clean the filters in your air conditioner

The air conditioner’s filter removes contaminants such as dust particles, pollen and bacteria to keep the air cleaner inside our homes. Regular cleaning of your air conditioner filters also makes it more energy efficient and ensures optimum performance. We recommend that the filters are cleaned at least twice a year but additional cleaning might be necessary due to environmental conditions.

Take a look at how to do it.

We are full of hope that our service engineers will soon be back in action, and ready to help.

“Samsung consistently strives to make people’s lives better by ensuring our products are created with the utmost care and with the end user always in mind. We are proud to be associated with such a prestigious award and humbled that our customers have voted us No. 1,” says Justin Hume, Marketing Director of Samsung Electronics South Africa.

The Best Buy Award considers price-quality ratio as vital in consumer purchase decisions. The importance of which is explained as, “today, consumers across the world look for the highest value for the price of products and services. Final purchase decisions are often made based on an assessment of features and benefits in relation to actual cost. Consumers are also more aware that the actual quality of a purchase is not guaranteed, even if the brand-name is popular or the price is higher than that of comparable products or services.”

The “Best Buy Award” refers to the research, medal and certificate that represent what buyers are most often attracted to. Price-quality ratio identifies an item in a market segment with the best price along with the best quality. Consumers are also more aware that the research and certificate allows them to recognise products and services with the best price and with the highest quality for that monetary value.

“The Best Buy Award medal is a clear indicator that products and services meet strict quality standards while being reasonably priced, which is why Samsung’s range of air conditioners were voted the best,” concludes Hume.

Samsung Electronics South Africa announced the launch of its new digital variable multi (DVM) Chiller, which unites the strengths of air-source chiller and variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems to provide a high performance, energy efficient unit.

Responding to the growing demand for water-source ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) following the tightening of European Union (EU) regulations on F-gas levels, Samsung has engineered an air-cooled Chiller that offers greater energy efficiency and ease of use in an innovative compact design.

By reducing the system refrigerant levels significantly more than a conventional chiller, the Samsung DVM Chiller not only complies with current 2015 EU refrigerant quota levels but also adheres to the further upcoming reduction in levels (35 percent by 2018).

In the revolutionary DVM Chiller, Samsung has embedded the world-class brushless direct current (BLDC) Inverter Scroll Compressor with Flash Injection technology, ensuring over 75 percent of heating capacity at -20 °C ambient temperature with greater energy efficiency. The Chiller enables users to reduce annual utility costs by 36 percent to 50 percent compared to conventional chillers.

The Samsung DVM Chiller also delivers powerful heating performance while providing cold water through thermal ice storage with an in-built pressure and temperature sensor, which prevents device breakdown from freeze-bursts.

“We know that efficiency, comfort and performance are key factors when selecting HVAC systems,” says Michael McKechnie, Director Digital Appliances Group at Samsung Electronics SA. “We believe that the Samsung DVM Chiller is the best in class in each of these areas.”

Unrivalled operational economy

The Samsung Module Chiller enables users to reduce annual utility costs by approximately 36 to 50 percent compared to conventional chillers. Up to eight modules can be combined, offering an expansion of system capacity, while the operational modes can be adjusted to allow for seasonal requirements, such as low or peak season.

Easy installation and maintenance

The Samsung DVM Chiller is more compact than any other module chillers, requiring an installation area of just 1.37 m² per unit, maximising the capacity of the available rooftop space. It delivers the low maintenance installation of a VRF unit through its modular design, allowing for a reduction in installation and transportation costs.

“Samsung is committed to continuously researching and developing cutting edge system air conditioning solutions which significantly reduces both running costs and environmental impact. The new DVM Chiller is a testament to the plethora of benefits created through innovative technology and efficient design,” McKechnie concludes.
