[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] LG Electronics announced on the 22nd that it has been recognized for its commercial and residential heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions in the United States by winning the 'Performance Award' from the American Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Association for the third consecutive time.

This award can only be received if all randomly selected products in each category pass the first performance test consecutively for three years. LG Electronics earned the honor of winning three consecutive times by passing the first tests from 2015 to 2017, 2016 to 2018, and 2017 to 2019.

The association randomly selects 20% of products from each manufacturer’s product group, and experts from Intertek, a leading U.S. testing and certification organization, evaluate whether the actual performance matches the product specifications. Established in 1953, the association is known for its rigorous product performance evaluations, with over 350 air conditioner manufacturers worldwide as members.

LG Electronics has passed the refrigeration and air conditioning association’s performance evaluations for 73 models across seven key product groups, including ▲large-capacity system air conditioners ▲medium- and small-capacity system air conditioners ▲air-cooled cooling systems ▲water-cooled cooling systems ▲and integrated air conditioners.

The company explained that its flagship large-capacity system air conditioner, Multi V, equipped with a self-developed high-efficiency inverter compressor, combines high performance and energy efficiency, standing out in the commercial HVAC market. This product can operate heating even in extreme cold temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius, making it especially popular in the northern U.S. regions where winter temperatures drop significantly.

Multi V S, the representative product of medium- and small-capacity system air conditioners, is designed for residential use and can connect up to 16 indoor units to a single outdoor unit, enabling heating and cooling for large residential spaces. Consumers can choose the type of indoor unit they want to install, such as wall-mounted, cassette, or duct types.

Fitech, widely used in hotels, features an integrated outdoor and indoor unit with excellent durability. LG Electronics enhanced durability by applying special coating technology to prevent corrosion of the heat exchanger. Through differentiated technology, LG Electronics has maintained 11 consecutive years of growth in the North American HVAC business, with sales last year more than doubling compared to five years ago.

Lee Gam-gyu, Vice President and Head of the Air Solution Business Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Headquarters, said, “We will accelerate our efforts to capture the U.S. market with HVAC solutions based on advanced performance and differentiated technology.”
