It’s June 5th and we are busy celebrating World Environment day with promises (that we know we won’t keep) on social media about saving water, tree planting, using less plastic, etc. The next day, however, everything is back to how it is and the planet, well, continues to pay the price.
Here’s the thing – If I told you that your daily habits at home could actually turn the earth healthier without giving up modern comforts, and yes, convenience provided by technology?
Did you know that modern homes across India are getting smarter and greener too. With proper eco smart, energy efficient appliances, you can cut on comfort and save on electricity, water, and even lower the carbon footprint.
This world environment day, along with the catchy slogans and pledges, we want to take action right now which is far more impactful. Let’s discuss the challenge of five eco smart appliances that aid in achieving a greener home.
1. Smart Refrigerators: Cooling That Cares
Let’s start with the refrigerator, an appliance that works 24×7, 365 days a year. It’s always on, keeping your veggies crisp, milk fresh, and leftovers safe. But older fridges can be huge power hogs. That’s where Haier’s smart inverter refrigerators step in.
Take the 4-Door Convertible Refrigerator. This beauty isn’t just about looks with its black glass finish. It’s designed to be flexible and eco-conscious. With 85% convertible fridge space, you decide how to use it. Need more fridge space during a party? Done. Traveling for a week? Convert to energy-saving mode and relax.
Why it’s eco-smart:
- Reduces power consumption by adjusting cooling intelligently
- Converts compartments based on your need, not guesswork
- Keeps food fresher for longer, reducing household waste
Pro tip: Organise your fridge to allow better air circulation and avoid overloading. This helps the compressor work efficiently.
2. Front Load Washing Machines: Clean Clothes, Clear Conscience
Washing clothes is one of those never-ending household chores. But most people don’t realise just how much water and electricity older washing machines consume.
That’s why Smart Washing Machines with Direct Motion Technology (HW90-DM14959CS8U1) is such a game-changer. It uses a Direct Motion Motor, meaning no belts, no friction, and way less noise. It also comes with something called a Super Drum, bigger drum, better tumble action, faster wash cycles.
The highlight? It detects the load and automatically adjusts the water level, wash time, and power usage. So whether you’re washing two shirts or a full week’s laundry, it only uses what’s needed.
Why it’s eco-smart:
- Uses up to 60% less water per wash compared to top load machines
- Cuts down electricity usage with its inverter motor
- Anti-bacterial gasket and smart refresh mode reduce need for harsh chemicals
Pro tip: Run full loads, use cold water settings when possible, and switch to biodegradable detergents to make your laundry routine even greener.
3. Smart Air Conditioners: Stay Cool Without Heating the Planet
Let’s admit it: Indian summers are no joke. And while air conditioners are a lifesaver, they also account for a massive chunk of your home’s power usage.
This AC is not just smart, it’s genius. Powered by AI Climate Control, it learns your preferences, understands the room’s conditions, and adjusts accordingly. It uses Hexa Inverter Technology, which basically means smoother performance, faster cooling, and lower energy bills.
And here’s the best part: it uses R32 refrigerant, which has a much lower global warming potential than the older R22 gas.
Why it’s eco-smart:
- Saves up to 65% energy with AI-based cooling
- Uses eco-friendly refrigerant
- Learns your routine, so it doesn’t waste energy when you’re not around
Pro tip: Keep your AC at 24°C for the perfect balance of comfort and efficiency. Clean your filters every 2-4 weeks to keep the airflow strong and clean.
4. Smart TVs: Entertainment That’s Eco-Friendly
Let’s shift from chores to chill. You probably watch TV for a few hours daily, whether it’s cricket matches, OTT binges, or weekend gaming marathons. But did you know your television can also be a sustainability champion?
Take the Mini LED Smart TV. It’s a 75-inch stunner with Dolby Vision IQ and Atmos, but beneath all that immersive viewing power lies eco-efficiency. The Mini LED backlighting uses far less energy than traditional LCDs while delivering brighter and sharper images.
This TV also has MEMC at 144Hz, which smooths out high-speed visuals while using power more effectively. Plus, it comes with intelligent brightness control, which adjusts screen brightness based on ambient light, reducing unnecessary energy usage.
Why it’s eco-smart:
- Mini LED panels use less power than conventional backlights
- Smart brightness adjustment cuts down on energy waste
- Longer panel life means less electronic waste over time
Try this: Use your TV’s power-saving settings and turn it off completely (not just standby) when not in use. You’ll save more power than you think.
5. Robot Vacuum Cleaners: Clean Floors, Clean Future
We rarely think of vacuuming as eco-friendly, but traditional vacuum cleaners often use a lot of power and require manual effort. Smart Robot Vacuum Cleaner changes that.
It maps your room intelligently, avoids obstacles, and adjusts suction based on floor type. It’s designed to run efficiently on a schedule, so your floors stay clean while you’re out running errands or watching Netflix.
And the best part? It charges itself, goes back to its dock when done, and uses less power than standard vacuum models.
Why it’s eco-smart:
- Smart path planning avoids rework and energy waste
- Lower power usage than traditional vacuums
- Reduces dust, allergens, and improves indoor air quality
Pro tip: Use the vacuum’s mobile app to schedule cleaning during off-peak electricity hours. This also gives you peace of mind when you’re not home.
Real impact examples:
- Switching to inverter ACs alone can reduce your annual power bill by over ₹10,000
- Using a front-load washing machine saves up to 22,000 litres of water every year
- Smart refrigerators can cut down food spoilage by 30%, reducing both waste and cost
And you’re not just saving the environment. You’re also upgrading your home’s functionality and design. Today’s smart appliances look sleek, respond to your commands, and make everyday tasks feel effortless.
Tips to Make Your Smart Appliances Even Greener
Turn on Eco Mode: Many smart appliances come with eco modes. Make it your default setting.
Use Timers and Schedulers: Let your gadgets work only when needed.
- Go Solar Where Possible: Water heaters and smart plugs can often be paired with solar.
- Clean Filters and Vents Regularly: Clean machines use less energy.
- Recycle Old Appliances Responsibly: Don’t throw them away, check for e-waste pickup in your city.
