LG Electronics USA has expanded its line of ENERGY STAR certified Inverter Heat Pump Water Heaters with two new models featuring demand response and a water leakage detection sensor, ensuring a comprehensive domestic water heating solution for residential applications.
Announced at the 2024 ENERGY STAR Products Partner Meeting this week, the introduction of these new models highlights LG's commitment to delivering advanced heat pump technology for domestic and residential water heating solutions.
LG Electronics USA senior vice president and general manager of air conditioning technologies, Steve Scarbrough, said the new heat pump water heater additions offer enhanced features of demand response and water leakage detection sensing, enabling LG to support even more homeowners as they seek more energy-efficient solutions for their homes.
In addition to their ENERGY STAR certification, LG's new water heaters models are NEEA Tier 4 certified and California JA-13 qualified with a high efficiency rating of 3.93 UEF for the 58-gallon model and 3.90 UEF for the 80-gallon model.
The new models are demand-response-ready and feature a water leakage detection sensor. Additional key features and benefits of LG's full line of Inverter Heat Pump Water Heaters include:
- Efficient, Smart Capabilities: Includes a built-in EcoPor (CTA-2045 Port) and LG ThinQ mobile application compatibility, allowing users to choose operation modes (Auto, Heat Pump, Turbo, Vacation and Schedule), set target water temperature and Time of Use functions and self-diagnose.
- Quiet Operation: Has low noise performance during auto mode operation at just 42 dB(A) decibels.
- Durability and Long Life: Features an anode rod and enamel-coating in the water tank to prevent corrosion and promote longer tank life.
- User-Friendly Controls: Provides simple control with digital display includes four buttons: Mode, Set, Up, and Down.
- Reliability and Safety: Offers two separate heat sources for back-up operation if one component fails.
Designed to meet the growing demand for electric solutions as part of the broader push toward energy efficiency, LG's full heat pump water heater lineup has a wide operating range (23°F to 120°F ambient temperatures) which reduces the need for supplemental electric resistance heat.
"LG is committed to supporting efforts to electrify America through advancements in heat pump technology, providing homeowners with the stylish, intuitive, and energy-efficient solutions they need for a seamless transition to an all-electric lifestyle," Scarbrough said.
