Heat pumps were a popular topic at this year’s AHR Expo, with most manufacturers prompting their offerings in this segment. Heat pumps are seen as a main weapon in the battle to stem climate change. LG Electronics specializes in heat pumps, so this was a good opportunity for the company to promote its wares.
Ken Kastl, senior regional sales manager for LG, said there is already enough movement away from natural gas in the Northeast and West Coast that heat pumps have a greater opportunity than ever before. These aren’t the heat pumps of previous generations, either. Kastl said they can provide 100% of the heat for most houses.
