LG Electronics Wins 'Performance Award' from U.S. Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Association for 7 Consecutive Years

All 62 Evaluated Products Passed Testing
6 Product Groups Awarded
Strengthening HVAC Product Competitiveness with 'CoreTech'

LG Electronics announced on the 20th that it has won the 'Performance Award' from the Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) in the United States for seven consecutive years, based on its high-efficiency heat pump technology.

Founded in 1953, AHRI evaluates whether the actual performance of products from various manufacturers matches their specifications by randomly selecting products by category through designated testing organizations such as the global testing and certification body Intertek. To receive the Performance Award, which is given on a product group basis, all products subject to evaluation must pass the primary performance test for three consecutive years. LG Electronics has been receiving this award annually since 2018, recognizing its technological prowess and quality in differentiated heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions such as system air conditioners. Over 350 global air conditioner manufacturers are members of AHRI.

The products for which LG Electronics received the Performance Award this time include six product groups: ▲large-capacity system air conditioners (VRF) ▲air-cooled cooling systems (ACCL) ▲water-cooled cooling systems (WCCL) ▲small single heating and cooling units (USHP) ▲energy recovery ventilators (ERV) ▲air handling units (AHU). All 62 products selected for evaluation from 2021 to 2023 passed the performance tests.

LG Electronics explained that the competitiveness of its HVAC products comes from its core component technology called 'CoreTech.' LG Electronics develops and manufactures key components of air conditioning products, such as compressors and motors, in-house. It also continues to invest in R&D to advance technologies like heat exchangers, inverters, and heat pumps. Recently, LG Electronics established the 'LG Alaska Heat Pump Research Center' in Alaska, USA, to research and develop HVAC products that deliver high performance even in extreme cold.

Lee Jae-sung, Vice President and Head of the Air Solution Business Division at LG Electronics H&A Business Division, said, "We will target the global HVAC market, including the United States, by leading with differentiated heat pump solutions in line with the trend toward decarbonization and electrification."
