Highlights on display
Highlights on display at the largest industry trade show for HVAC engineers, contractors, distributors, and other trade professionals include:
LG Art Cool™ Gallery:
The LG Art Cool Gallery multi-zone wall-mount indoor unit features a customizable picture frame that allows homeowners to express their sense of style in a slim, contemporary profile unit while cooling and heating a space without compromising efficiency.
Available in 9,000 and 12,000 BTU/h, the LG Art Cool Gallery includes remote control operation, quick and easy installation, natural airflow, and auto operation modes.

LG Art Cool Gallery indoor units pair with multi-zone outdoor units that use a variable-speed compressor
In addition to aesthetic appeal and customer personalization, LG Art Cool Gallery indoor units pair with multi-zone outdoor units that use a variable speed compressor, which is quieter to operate and uses less energy than a conventional air conditioner compressor.
The LG Art Cool Gallery was used at the enchanting boutique hotel, Roxbury at Stratton Falls, to not only provide year-round comfort to guests but also seamlessly integrate into the rooms without compromising their visual appeal. Additionally, at AHR Expo, LG is demonstrating an Art Cool Gallery future concept built around a high-definition LCD screen that would display digital static and animated images.
Mid-Static Ducted Indoor Units:
LG’s convertible mid-static ducted indoor units are versatile and flexible, and the perfect option for various comfort needs, geographical locations, and climates. Utilizing a heat pump and LGRED° technology, the mid-static ducted unit provides continuous heating performance down to -13°F and maintains 100 percent of the rated heating capacity down to 5°F.
The unit’s ENERGY STAR® certification offers an opportunity to take advantage of the growing number of federal, local, and utility rebates and incentives to offset the upfront installation costs, making an efficient heat pump system more accessible and affordable while capturing the long-term benefit of this technology.
Dual Vane 4-Way Cassette:
LG’s Dual Vane technology allows a standard cassette panel to provide conditioned air to a space
LG’s Dual Vane technology allows a standard cassette panel to provide conditioned air to a space even when installed on ceilings as high as 16 feet, making it an ideal choice for large lobbies, auditoriums, and conference halls.
Six airflow modes conveniently direct air in the desired direction, while indirect airflow provided by the LG's airflow control system evenly maintains comfortable temperatures without blowing cold air directly at building occupants.
- Multi-step filtration air purification kit
LG’s Dual Vane Cassette fills the room with clean and cool air with a multi-step filtration air purification kit, reducing odors, germs, and fine dust using a filter that can be cleaned with water only.
Additionally, the cassette can be monitored and controlled via mobile devices to conserve energy and ensure better air quality.
Multi-Position Air Handler Unit:
Units with the Multi-Position Vertical AHU are ENERGY STAR certified and offer a cleaner energy alternative
LG's Multi-Position Air Handler Unit (AHU) provides users with a new level of flexibility and comfort, even in cold climate zones, where it removes the need for separate, supplemental sources powered solely by fossil fuels, heat thanks to powerful LGRED° technology packed in an electric system.
This energy-efficient HVAC solution provides optimal temperature control year-round, cooling in the summer and heating in the winter, and can be configured for vertical up-flow, downflow, or horizontal left or right installation, fitting seamlessly into the home’s existing setup. Additionally, units with the Multi-Position Vertical AHU are ENERGY STAR certified and offer a cleaner energy alternative to boilers and furnaces.
Medium and High-Temperature Hydro Kit Systems
Additionally, visitors to the LG booth can take a closer look at LG’s Medium and High-Temperature Hydro Kit Systems, which use a refrigerant-to-water heat exchanger to produce chilled or heated water; LG’s Split Compact M3 DOAS with Multi V S®, honored as a 2024 AHR Innovation Award finalist, which is ideal for light commercial use where single-phase power is available and as an HVAC solution for outdoor air treatment; and more.
