Abans eco-friendly service

Abans has stepped up their initiative to protect the environment with a firm commitment to provide Sri Lankan consumers with products that conform to the highest eco-friendly standards.

LGs advanced research team has been working tirelessly through the years to develop innovative eco-friendly products that protect the environment and also safeguard the health and well-being of the family. Noise, dust and smoke pollution, water and energy conservation are just some of the areas that LGs researchers are focusing on in their efforts to create eco-friendly products.

The Door Cooling Technology in Refrigerators which only LG has an international patent, emits cool air from the sides of the cabinet as well as the door.

This enables cool air to be replenished quicker every time the door is opened and closed and shutting off the compressor faster, thereby saving as much as 25 percent or more electricity, depending on the frequency that the door is opened and closed.

The Art Cool Inverter Air Conditioner is another innovative energy saving appliance that will reduce the electricity bill by as much as 40 per cent, while LG's Tromm (large capacity) washing machines take in wash loads upto 12.5 kgs, saving wash time, water and electricity. The Steam Tromm Washing Machine uses the latest steam technology for a wrinkle-free wash which conserves even more energy by eliminating the ironing of stubborn creases.

The new LG SolarDOM is the future of microwave ovens.

Its light waves cook five times faster than conventional ovens and its curved cavity accommodates 60 percent more food and saves upto 50 percent electricity.

Traditional dusting and sweeping only circulates the dust around your home and workplace. Vacuuming prevents this by eliminating dust, germs, bacteria, housemites, pollen and pet fur, the underlined causes of asthma, sinus, lung infection and other respiratory illnesses. Abans range of Vacuum Cleaners from LG, Electrolux and Hoover including Wet and Dry for cleaning dirt and liquid waste and unclogging drains and sinks which also eliminate mosquito breeding.

The TOTO Washlet-eco is an innovative toilet seat fitted with a p.o.m. (polyoxymethylene) nozzle which gives an aerated water spray for hygienic cleaning without the use of tissue.
