SEOUL -- LG Electronics (LG) has earned the Air-Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) Performance Award for its variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems and air-cooled and water-cooled chillers for the ninth consecutive year. The recognition underscores LG’s commitment to delivering efficient and reliable heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) solutions for residential, commercial and industrial applications.

Administered by AHRI, a globally recognized HVAC industry association, the Performance Award recognizes manufacturers whose solutions meet or exceed their stated performance claims at the first test for a period of three consecutive years. LG’s latest certification covered six product categories, including VRF systems, chillers, residential water heaters, air handling units and forced-circulation heating and cooling coils. LG’s sustained record in the AHRI program is a testament to the company’s customer-centric approach and the premium it places on providing the utmost in product quality.

Among the products evaluated this year, Multi V 5, one of LG’s VRF systems, was recognized for its operational performance and reliability. The system incorporates AI-based optimization to support efficient operation and features an intuitive control platform designed to simplify system management.

LG’s air-cooled and water-cooled chillers also continued their record of recognition, marking nine consecutive years of AHRI Performance Award certification. Leveraging LG’s proprietary compressor technology, the chillers deliver high efficiency.1.

In addition, LG’s residential water heaters were included in the AHRI evaluation for the first time, demonstrating the company’s expertise in HVAC technology innovation. LG’s flagship Inverter Heat Pump Water Heater features a proprietary DUAL Inverter compressor and has earned ENERGY STAR® certification for energy efficiency.2 The product is also designed for low-noise operation3 using a brushless direct current motor and offers a Turbo Mode via the LG ThinQ™ app for reliable hot water supply in high-demand situations.

“Recognition from AHRI across multiple product categories reflects the consistent performance characteristics of LG’s HVAC portfolio,” said James Lee, president of the LG ES Company. “This acknowledgement highlights disciplined approach to product development, validation and quality management, as well as our ongoing efforts to deliver reliable and energy-efficient HVAC solutions for customers in diverse operating environments.”
