To further enhance fight against mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria, a firm, LG Electronics has unveiled “Mosquito Away” dual inverter air conditioner in Nigeria, marking a new era in air conditioning technology.

According to the firm, the technology is designed to deliver efficient cooling while ensuring a mosquito-free indoor environment; the Mosquito Away AC is a first-of-its-kind solution in the Nigerian market.

In a statement, the firm said the mosquito away feature, powered by ultrasonic wave technology, repels mosquitoes by generating sound frequencies inaudible to humans.

According to the statement, “this advanced technology has been rigorously tested and certified by the Institute for Advanced Medical Research and Training, IAMRAT at the University College Hospital, Ibadan, with results confirming its efficacy in achieving a 92 percent mosquito repulsion rate and an 88 percent knockdown rate indoors.

Speaking at the launch event, Master Trainer, LG Electronics, Mr. Olugbenga Ogunbayo, highlighted the significance of the innovation, saying: “The ‘Mosquito Away’ AC by LG is the first of its kind in Nigeria! This cutting-edge technology ensures not only enhanced comfort but also improved safety for households, addressing a critical need in the fight against mosquito-borne diseases.”

Additional standout features include: Volt Care: Ensures uninterrupted operation even during voltage fluctuations, providing a reliable cooling experience in Nigeria’s often unstable power grid environment.

While gen mode offers adjustable energy consumption to support optimal performance when running on generator power, allowing for continued cooling without overloading appliances;
