																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When we think of air conditioners, we often associate them with the sweltering summer heat and the need to cool down. But what if your air conditioner could do more than just battle the summer heat? The winter season is upon us, and with Samsung’s innovative technology air conditioners, staying cosy, comfortable and warm is not only possible, it’s also energy-efficient and smart.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-15016 size-full" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/windfree-2.jpg" alt="" width="1280" height="853" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/windfree-2.jpg 1280w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/windfree-2-845x563.jpg 845w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/windfree-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/windfree-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w" sizes="(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Samsung air conditioners are designed to provide year-round comfort, making them a valuable investment for every season. Let’s explore how these advanced appliances can transform your winter experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Warmth That Wraps Around You</strong></h3>
<p>Gone are the days of uneven heating or cold corners in your home. Samsung’s WindFree<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> air conditioners have a large fan, wide inlet, and wide blades to assist with wide distribution of air. This powerful combination ensures warm air in your space, creating a consistent and cosy environment even on the coldest days.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Energy Efficiency That Pays Off</strong></h3>
<p>Keeping warm in winter often comes with the concern of rising energy bills. That’s where Samsung’s digital inverter technology makes a difference. Once your desired room temperature is reached, the system automatically slows down, using just enough energy to maintain that level of warmth. This translates to significant energy savings &#8211; so you can stay warm without the worry.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Smart Heating at Your Fingertips</strong></h3>
<p>With the SmartThings App, Samsung puts the control right in your hand, literally. Whether you&#8217;re out running errands or tucked in bed, you can monitor and adjust your air conditioner&#8217;s settings remotely. You can also check energy usage, schedule heating times, or tweak the temperature for when you&#8217;re on your way home. It’s smart, convenient, and designed for today’s connected lifestyle<a href="#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1"><span><sup>[1]</sup></span></a>.</p>

																<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>JOHANNESBURG, South Africa – 09 June 2021 –</strong> South African summers are hot, really hot. That’s why we usually associate this season with air conditioners. However, winter always seems to sneak up on us and only then do we remember that a good air conditioner can give us that much-needed warm relief from the sudden cold. Samsung’s Wind-Free<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Air Conditioner has been designed with this very need in mind, and fortunately for South Africans the need to curb high energy costs has also been factored in.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-11772" src="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Samsung-shot-44-0080_03rL100_Closed_main_859-x-408.jpg" alt="" width="859" height="408" srcset="https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Samsung-shot-44-0080_03rL100_Closed_main_859-x-408.jpg 859w, https://img.global.news.samsung.com/za/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Samsung-shot-44-0080_03rL100_Closed_main_859-x-408-768x365.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 859px) 100vw, 859px" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because energy saving is a real worry for many, Samsung works tirelessly to make its appliances more energy efficient. This is especially helpful in South Africa where electricity costs are constantly rising. The fact is, knowing that your air conditioner is working around the clock can naturally lead to concerns about high electricity bills and even your home’s environmental footprint.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Here’s 3 ways a Wind-Free<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Air Conditioner helps reduce your energy costs: </strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<ul>
<li>The inverter technology slows down once your desired temperature is achieved – meaning energy consumption is significantly reduced<sup>1</sup>.</li>
<li>Its fan is 15% bigger than conventional fans with a 18% wider inlet and 31% wider blade so warm air is dispersed further and wider into every corner of the room to keep you warm during winter.</li>
<li>It effortlessly monitors your energy consumption and controls your comfort levels through the Smart Things App on your mobile phone, wherever you are.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ultimately, the Wind-Free<img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/11/72x72/2122.png" alt="™" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Air Conditioner is designed to make your home a cosier place to be without the worry of escalating electricity costs. Keeping in mind how appliance usage can impact the environment, Samsung strives to make all of its devices, including its air conditioners, more energy-efficient and sustainable for the future. Together, this provides maximum comfort at minimum cost, while also having a positive impact on our environment. It’s enough to give you a warm feeling both inside and out.</p>
