The LG Orange Training Academy extends LG’s national network of six specialized facilities focused on developing skilled HVAC professionals. It joins established academies in Alpharetta, Georgia; Boston, Massachusetts; Chicago, Illinois; Dallas, Texas; and Englewood Cliffs, New Jersey that provide training and insights into LG’s air conditioning solutions. In these academies, experienced trainers deliver courses spanning unitary, ductless, VRF and controls solutions, covering everything from installation to service for LG’s full range of air conditioning and water heating products.

Through its heat pump technologies and training infrastructure, LG’s participation in California Heat Pump Week supports the acceleration of heat pump adoption across California and the state’s goals for a more electrified future. The statewide activation, an initiative of the California Heat Pump Partnership, is dedicated to raising public awareness, strengthening contractor capacity and accelerating the adoption of heat pumps in California.

“Contractor training is critical to advancing the adoption of heat pump technology,” said Steve Scarbrough, senior vice president and general manager of LG Air Conditioning Technologies, LG Electronics USA. “LG’s Orange Training Academy is the latest example of our commitment to equipping contractors and installers with the in-depth knowledge and hands-on skills intended to support implementation of HVAC technologies across California.” 

In addition to the training academy opening, LG rolled out its Mobile Showroom and co-hosted distributor and community events throughout California Heat Pump Week. The showroom provides immersive, hands-on demonstrations with LG products and expert insights into its HVAC technologies.

The Mobile Showroom stops during California Heat Pump Week included Home Depot Antelope and ECCO Supply in Sacramento, Miles Memorial Playhouse in Santa Monica and the Livart Group, Commerce.
