Half of Samsung TVs, appliances sold in Korea are energy-efficient models

The company divides its energy-efficient home appliances into two categories: First-Grade and AI-Powered. Out of all the energy-efficient appliances it sells in South Korea, Samsung claims that First-Grade products exceed one out of three sold. First-Grade energy-efficient appliances that it sells consume less power than the minimum standard set by the government. The ones that are AI-powered offer even more energy efficiency through the AI Saving mode.

Samsung's Bespoke Grande Washing Machine AI consumes 20% lower power than the lowest best energy efficiency grade. The Bespoke 4-Door Refrigerator consumes 22% less energy than the lowest energy grade. The company's Wind-Free AC uses 10% less energy than the lowest energy consumption grade set by the South Korean government.

All the AI-powered energy-efficient appliances sold by Samsung can be controlled and monitored using the SmartThings app. The SmartThings AI Saving Mode saves additional energy by looking at various aspects. If a user sets a monthly energy consumption target, the AI Saving Mode reduces power usage accordingly.

Additionally, Samsung supports small businesses by supporting a program that's run by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy, and the Korea Electric Power Corporation. This program offers up to a 40% refund when someone returns their older ACs and buys a product with First Grade energy efficiency. Among Samsung's AC lineup, 59 models are eligible for a refund. After purchasing one of those models, the buyer can apply for a refund from KEPCO's official website.
