LG Electronics Unveils Cutting-Edge HVAC Technologies at AHR Expo 2025
LG Electronics made a considerable mark at the AHR Expo 2025, which took place in Orlando, Florida, from February 10 to 12. The company showcased an impressive array of new heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) technologies, focusing on energy-efficient solutions that cater to both homes and businesses. In a world increasingly oriented toward decarbonization and electrification, LG’s innovations are positioned as pivotal players in this transition.
Commitment to Innovation and Sustainability
James Lee, president of the LG ES Company, emphasized the company’s dedication to leading the charge in sustainable HVAC solutions. "The LG HVAC solutions displayed at AHR Expo 2025 underscore our firm commitment to innovation, and to leading the industry’s transition toward decarbonization and electrification,” he stated. As a prominent global brand, LG’s mission is not only to innovate but to offer tailored solutions that meet diverse customer needs across various environments.
A Showcase of Advanced Inverter Heat Pumps
One of the main attractions at LG’s booth was its extensive lineup of inverter heat pumps, equipped with high-efficiency compressors for simultaneous heating and cooling. These units are certified by Energy Star, specifically designed with the North American residential market in mind. Their reliability shines even in homes featuring high ceilings, ensuring effective temperature control. Notably, the units come with built-in communication kits, making them compatible with a variety of indoor systems, including A-Coils and Furnace setups.
Moreover, LG introduced the Inverter Heat Pump Water Heater, which seamlessly integrates with LG’s ThinQ app, allowing for smart control and enhanced convenience for users.
Cold Climate Solutions Earn Recognition
Among LG’s standout products was the LG Residential Cold Climate Heat Pump, which bagged the 2025 AHR Innovation Award in the Sustainable Solutions category. This heat pump, certified by both Energy Star and Cold Climate Energy Star, operates efficiently even under extreme temperatures, with performance guaranteed down to negative 35 degrees Celsius (negative 31 degrees Fahrenheit). Its innovative Low Heating feature maintains a stable temperature of around 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit), effectively preventing pipe freeze-ups.
Enhanced Commercial Solutions with Multi V i VRF System
In the commercial HVAC space, LG featured its upgraded Multi V i Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) system. This advanced system is equipped with a larger heat exchanger and employs R32 refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating of 675, markedly reducing environmental impact. Its flexible installation options, paired with built-in safety measures designed to prevent refrigerant leaks, position it as a reliable choice for commercial applications where safety and efficiency are paramount.
Introducing the Oil-Free Inverter Centrifugal Chiller
LG didn’t stop there; the company also unveiled its Oil-Free Inverter Centrifugal Chiller at the expo. Leveraging the innovative LeviTech magnetic bearing technology, this chiller enhances energy efficiency significantly while ensuring a consistent supply of chilled water. The chiller utilizes low-GWP refrigerants such as R513A, R1233zd, and R1234ze, demonstrating LG’s compliance with rigorous international environmental regulations.
Innovations in Components and Collaborations
In addition to its HVAC systems, LG’s Component Solutions division introduced a new line of compressors and motors tailored for both commercial and residential HVAC applications. The expansion of LG’s Scroll Compressor lineup features advanced models specifically designed for Cold Climate Heat Pumps. Notably, LG has been actively collaborating with manufacturers as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Cold Climate Heat Pump Technology Challenge, underscoring its commitment to advancing energy-efficient technology solutions.
Conclusion
Through its prominent participation in AHR Expo 2025, LG Electronics showcased not only its latest HVAC technologies but also its unwavering commitment to sustainability and innovation in the HVAC industry. As the global push for more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly solutions continues to grow, LG’s offerings poised at the intersection of comfort and care for the planet stand out as pivotal contributions to the future of HVAC systems.
