LG Steals the Show at AHR EXPO 2024: Top Takeaways and Must-See Product

This year, LG marked its presence at the AHR Expo in Chicago, US, with a dedicated booth, where the company showcased its advanced HVAC products. The AHR Expo is a premier event in the HVACR (Heating, Ventilating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) industry, renowned for showcasing the latest innovations, technologies, and trends in the field. The trend of home electrification represents a significant shift towards sustainable living, as households increasingly adopt electric-based systems and appliances for heating, cooling, and general energy needs, in lieu of traditional fossil fuel reliance. LG featured residential solutions to address home electrification and a range of other offerings. Let’s explore the LG products and services, including residential, commercial, system control, and customer support solutions, at this year’s AHR Expo.

When it comes to Commercial HVAC solutions, LG had an extensive lineup of solutions to exhibit at AHR Expo for every sector.

If one aspect of the installation is not completed properly, the system will never realize its full potential and could face a wide range of issues. For example, neglecting insulation around refrigerant lines can cause condensation, energy loss, and potential water damage. Additionally, improper wiring, loose connections, or incorrect voltage can cause system failures, irregular operation, or permanent damage to electrical components. Keep things professional for professional results.
