LG Recognized with AHRI Performance Award for Sixth Consecutive Year

LG Electronics has earned the Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute Performance Award for the sixth year in a row. Every model selected by AHRI for testing must pass all evaluations for three straight years for the award to be granted.

The majority of AHRI Performance Award evaluations are conducted by Intertek. Intertek runs a comprehensive battery of assessments on the selected products to determine if the actual performance is consistent with the specifications listed by the manufacturer.

Representing seven product categories – including, for the first time, Energy Recovery Ventilators – all 67 LG HVAC solutions submitted for testing passed AHRI’s rigorous evaluations for the third year in a row (2020-22). In addition to LG’s ERV, the models evaluated belong to the following HVAC categories: Variable Refrigerant Flow, Unitary Small Heat Pump, Water-Cooled Chillers, Air-Cooled Chillers, Room Fan Coil air conditioners and Packaged Terminal Heat Pumps.

One of the products evaluated for the Performance Award, the LG Multi V large-capacity outdoor unit employs the company’s proprietary Ultimate Inverter Compressor to deliver a strong, energy-efficient performance. The VRF system is able to provide dependable heating operation in temperatures as low as negative-22 F.

Also tested was the air-cooled Inverter Scroll Chiller. The chiller has a compact design that takes up less
space than other models in its class, affording customers greater installation flexibility.

Earning the award for the first time, the company’s ERV solution replaces still and stagnant indoor air with clean filtered air from outside and is equipped with a heat exchanger that significantly decreases hot air loss while also helping to reduce heating and cooling costs. Moreover, when connected with a system air conditioner, it manages energy consumption and indoor air quality to ensure optimal comfort and efficient operation.
