Recently, a noteworthy bill has been introduced in the state of California. Senator Scott Wiener has proposed a groundbreaking new bill called 'SB 282, the Heat Pump Accessibility Act'. This clever initiative aims to tackle three issues we all care about: cutting energy costs, cleaning up our air, and fighting climate change.
In simple terms, this bill is intended to bring advanced heat pump technology to more homes. What's a heat pump, you ask? Think of it as an all-in-one wonder that handles heating, cooling, and hot water. The best part? It can slash electricity use by up to 75%, potentially saving homeowners a cool $400 a year.1)

Electrifying homes is a crucial strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Gas furnaces, which burn fossil fuels, are a major source of pollution, but heat pumps offer a compelling solution.
Heat pumps work by moving heat, rather than generating it, which makes them incredibly energy-efficient.
●In winter, LG heat pumps extract heat from the outside air and transfer it indoors.
●In summer, LG heat pumps reverse the process, acting like an air conditioner.
This dual functionality is ideal for climates that range from hot summers to surprisingly cool winters.
Climate change is driving extreme weather patterns, making reliable heating and cooling systems crucial in all temperatures. While many believe heat pumps underperform compared to gas furnaces in cold climates, LG HVAC has developed a robust line-up of heat pumps that excel in all climates.
Recently, LG HVAC hosted a special roundtable at the consortium for advanced heat pump research at AHR 2025. Steve Scarbrough, senior vice president and general manager of LG HVAC Solutions USA, joined the panel to highlight how innovative LG HVAC Inverter Compressor technology has transformed the performance of heat pumps in colder areas.
Behind the scenes, LG HVAC has made significant strides in advancing heat pump technology through a global R&D triangle,
connecting North America, Europe, and Asia to lead the global heat pump market.
Moreover, the LG HVAC collaboration with the University of Alaska played a crucial role in developing LG’s residential cold climate heat pumps, which recently won the prestigious 2025 AHR Innovation award.3)

LG HVAC has developed a range of inverter heat pumps designed to work efficiently in every climate. At the heart of this innovation is LG’s inverter heat pump technology.
• Outdoor Unit: LG Inverter Heat Pump with Innovative Compressor
Imagine stepping into a warm and cozy home, even on the chilliest of winter days. LG HVAC heat pumps, powered by the R1TM Compressor technology make this a reality. This compressor is designed with high efficiency and a simple compressing structure operating smoothly between 10 and 135Hz.* The Vapor Injection technology provides stable heating in cold climates without extra energy, while smart injection boosts heating capacity by optimizing refrigerant flow.
* It may be different depending on the models
* For certain models (KUSXA422A, KUSXA482A)
LG's inverter heat pumps operate effectively down to -25°C*, ensuring reliable heating even during sudden temperature drops. A sensor detects ice formation, providing efficiency and maintaining a cozy indoor space even in harsh winter conditions.
* Results may vary depending on the applied model and environment.
Moreover, don't worry - LG's Inverter Heat Pump can be easily connected with various furnaces through available communication kits, offering flexible operation that adapts to different climate conditions. This versatility allows the system to work seamlessly with both electric and gas energy sources, providing reliable performance in any environment.
As part of LG's home comfort system, the inverter heat pump integrates seamlessly with other LG products, offering a smarter, more efficient, and safer home comfort solution.
Now, let's explore the indoor unit offerings.
• Indoor Unit: LG Multi Position Air Handler
When it comes to upgrading your home comfort system, LG’s Multi-Position Air Handler is a smart choice for modern homeowners. This innovative product offers the convenience of smart control through the LG ThinQ app, allowing you to operate your system from anywhere, anytime.
Its advanced fan design provides whisper-quiet operation at just 42dB(A)*, creating a peaceful home environment. The multi-position design adapts to your home’s unique layout, with options for upflow, downflow, horizontal left, and horizontal right installation.
* Based on the cooling sound pressure level (Base: LVN480HV, New: KNSLB481A)
* Sound pressure levels are tested in an anechoic chamber under ISO Standard 3745 and are the same in both cooling and heating modes. These values can increase due to ambient conditions during operation.
Plus, it has a built-in R32 Refrigerant Leak Detector for added safety. This detector monitors for leaks and takes quick action if one is found, giving you peace of mind.
Don't be too surprised yet - LG HVAC offers indoor units that work with A-coils and furnaces, providing customized solutions for different environments. Plus, their A-coils are compatible with other brands' furnaces, giving you flexibility to create a system that fits your needs.
LG contributes to advancements in cold-climate heating! Our innovative heat pumps address demanding winter conditions while supporting decarbonization. With advanced technology and global partnerships, LG helps provide efficient and reliable comfort—even in the harshest winters. Upgrade to LG and explore the future of heating today.
