Earlier, air conditioning simply meant transforming your home into some kind of cold desert with freezing and uncomfortable chills. But, fortunately, technology has significantly improved from the early days of air conditioning technology. Today, air conditioners from reputed brands like Hitachi Cooling & Heating offer several benefits and comfort to their customers.

If you are considering buying an air conditioner recently, you can look for innovative and energy-efficient air conditioners offered by Hitachi Cooling & Heating India. These ACs are technologically-advanced and come-equipped with some exciting features. Here are some of the most ground-breaking technologies and features that come with these Hitachi air conditioners:

ice Clean (powered by FrostWash) for Clean air cooling

The ice Clean feature works through a simple three-step process: Freeze, Melt, and Dry.

On pressing the FrostWash button on the remote prompts the operation of ice clean cycle. Frost will first form on the heat exchanger. This frost effectively traps all the accumulated dust, bacteria, molds, and other impurities. After few minutes, the frost on the coil melts away, carrying along with it the trapped contaminants, effectively from the indoor unit coil. Following this, the blower activates to expel any remaining moisture, thoroughly drying the coil and cleansing it of any residual debris. Consequently, upon the next activation of the air conditioner, users get a refreshing influx of clean air.

The primary advantages of the ice Clean feature are: it effectively eradicates viruses, bacteria, and molds, while concurrently delivering energy savings of up to 15%. By eliminating the dirt and debris from the evaporator coils, this innovative feature ensures that the air conditioner functions optimally, providing a continuous stream of clean and fresh air.

Xpandable+: Adaptive Cooling for Enhanced Performance

With the Xpandable+ feature, Hitachi Cooling & Heating takes air conditioning to a whole new level. This smart feature enables the compressor of the air conditioner to automatically adjust or expand its cooling capacity based on the ambient temperature and indoor load. By increasing the compressor’s rotation per minute, the AC adapts to the actual conditions outside and the cooling requirements inside the room. This result in upto 110% of maximum cooling capacity, 100% cooling capacity at 43 ͦC, 30% faster cool down time, and 35% higher humidity removal. 27% more power savings also can be achieved by using Inverter models in comparison Fix speed models of similar capacity.

24m Long Air Throw* to Cool Every Corner

This exciting feature called 24m Long Air Throw allows air conditioners to throw air up to 24 meters to ensure even and uniform cooling in the room. This feature is particularly beneficial for large rooms, it ensures that the air conditioning covers a vast area effectively. By providing a long air throw, the AC creates a surround cooling effect, ensuring even cooling and temperature distribution throughout the room. This smart functionality not only guarantees a comfortable environment for everyone but also enables faster cooling with less energy consumption.

AQtiv-Ion Technology for Clean and Healthy Indoors

AQtiv-Ion is a breakthrough technology that shows Hitachi’s commitment to providing a cleaner and healthier indoor environment. The feature utilizes air conditioner ionizer technology to produce negative ions that combine with the air’s naturally occurring oxygen (O2). This process creates new oxygen molecules that trap impure particles, certain viruses, and bacteria and neutralize them, resulting in a cleaner and healthier indoor environment.

Thanks to its strong oxidation function, this feature can destroy the structure of bacteria and certain viruses through powerful collisions. The strong oxidation also inactivates the live enzymes of bacterial cells, making it remarkably effective in fighting airborne pollutants and killing various types of bacteria (including influenza virus, Escherichia coli, and Staphylococcus aureus) and mold.

AirCloud Home to Cool Your Home with Ease

In the age of intelligent households, the Hitachi air conditioners present the innovative airCloud go application having function which enable users to remotely control their AC units via smartphones. Through the simple download of the airCloud Home app, users gain the flexibility to adjust temperatures and customize cooling preferences from any location. This functionality offers significant benefits to those who are away from home, enabling them to adjust the AC unit settings before their return. The airCloud Home feature epitomizes the harmonious fusion of technology and convenience, redefining contemporary living standards.

4-Way Swing for Better Air Dispersion

Hitachi air conditioners feature an innovative 4-Way swing functionally for precise and superior air dispersion across the room. This feature ensures even cooling and air distribution, leaving no space untouched. Even distribution of cool air in the room ensures optimal cooling and comfort inside the room.

Launched in October 2023, FinRight Technologies, a Mumbai-based fintech startup founded by CRED and Amazon professionals, addresses personal finance challenges uniquely. With a vision to address some of the most challenging pain points in personal finance, FinRight has chosen Employee Provident Fund (EPF) as its first major focus area as accessing this retirement corpus has become increasingly complicated.

In FY23, over 5.21 crore PF withdrawal and transfer claims were filed, but a staggering 25.8% of them–around 1.34 crore of PF claims–were rejected. For final PF withdrawal claims, the PF claim rejection rate hit a five-year high of 34%. These numbers reveal the deep-rooted challenges employees face when dealing with their Provident Fund claims, making it one of the biggest financial hurdles in India today.

Since its launch in 2023, FinRight has assisted over 5,000 customers on their PF withdrawals and online PF claims, offering a unique combination of tech-driven and human support around intricate rules and processes to provide personalised guidance and assistance. Individuals seeking to withdraw their EPF or resolve issues with EPF transfers can now turn to FinRight for seamless support. By visiting www.finright.in, users can access expert assistance powered by FinRight’s cutting-edge platform. The fintech startup ensures that EPF withdrawal requests initiated through its platform receive dedicated attention, significantly reducing the risk of rejection and simplifying the process for India’s workforce.

“Most people find understanding rules & processes around PF transfers and PF withdrawals daunting. The market is crowded with unorganized PF agents and PF consultants who lack expertise, provide inconsistent service, and often charge exorbitant fees. We saw an opportunity to deliver professional, transparent, and affordable solutions to simplify Provident Fund claims for everyone. Our goal is to empower individuals to access their money without stress or delays” said Amey Kanekar, Co-founder of Finright Technologies Pvt. Ltd.

FinRight is gearing up to introduce digital automation to tackle EPF issues seamlessly by integrating EPFO APIs and employing AI, the founder revealed. “8/10 people discover problems with their EPF only when they need funds, and that’s a challenge we aim to address head-on,” he said. As part of this initiative, FinRight will soon launch a “Get Your EPF Reviewed” online service, empowering users to identify discrepancies instantly in their EPF accounts with just a few clicks.

FinRight’s impact is best demonstrated through the experiences of its customers, who have successfully navigated complex online PF withdrawals issues with the platform’s help:

* Vikas K., Tech Professional in Delhi: “After leaving a tech company where I worked for eight years, I struggled to withdraw my Rs37 lakh EPF due to a mismatch in my father’s name and errors from a subsidiary transfer. My claims were rejected 16 times. FinRight stepped in with a joint declaration and rigorous follow-ups with EPFO, resolving the discrepancies and enabling a successful PF withdrawal within a month. Their expertise in handling Provident Fund withdrawal was a huge relief.”

* Ganesh R., Healthcare Professional in Chennai: “After 20 years across 3 organizations, my online PF withdrawal claim was rejected, citing ‘insufficient service.’ This PF claim rejection occurred because the employer had failed to correctly update my service. Despite seeking help from multiple PF consultants and PF agents, the issue persisted. That’s when FinRight came to my rescue. They helped me navigate the complex process between employers & EPFO, ensuring my service records were updated. This enabled me to access Rs75 lakhs of my PF balance”.

Angel Funding:

FinRight, driven by its mission to simplify personal finance challenges, has secured seed funding from investors. The startup aims to broaden its offerings to tackle additional personal finance pain points, including insurance claims, taxation, and estate planning. Simultaneously, it plans to scale its operations to major Indian cities, reinforcing its position as a trusted leader in financial assistance and provident fund services.
