Scarbrough will lead LG’s commercial, residential, and applied air conditioning business in the United States.

LG won an Innovation Award at this year’s AHR Expo for its Hydro Kit, a new indoor heat exchanger for LG VRF systems.

The manufacturer’s Multi V™ 5 air-source VRF system and its LGRED° technology were in the spotlight, designed to do away with the occasional perception that VRF is more suited for cooling than heating.

“By supporting Gus and the Young's Motorsports team during the 2019 NASCAR Truck Series, LG and Baker are forging a new path together on the race track,” said Kevin McNamara, senior vice president and general manager, air conditioning technologies, LG Electronics USA.

This single-phase, variable refrigerant flow (VRF), 5-ton heat recovery system is designed for the U.S. market.

In addition to being a landmark growth year for the LG Excellence Contractor Program, LG also has expanded its portfolio of tools, software, and resources available to its program participants, including upgrading its LG Inverter Monitoring System (SIMs) 2.0, opening a new flagship LG Learning Academy training facility, and enhancing the LG extended warranty service contract program.

The 40,000-square-foot building includes a training center that will support LG’s air conditioning business and educate contractors, technicians, and engineers about the HVAC technology.

LATS CAD 2 software integrates with AutoCAD to allow engineers to arrange and validate LG variable refrigerant flow (VRF) systems directly into their computer-aided design (CAD) drawings.
