LG Air Conditioner Buying Guide
Need a new air conditioner but unsure how to get started on your search? Here, we offer you an extensive guide for getting you toward the ideal LG air conditioner for you. From Mini Split to Window Type to Portable, we’ll help you choose the one most suited for your lifestyle.
In the middle of the left window with a snowy landscape and the right window with a warm feeling of wood, warm wind comes out of the air conditioner.
Which type of air conditioner is right for you?
LG air conditioners offer a range of features to keep your home refreshed all summer long. Our products will be sure to deliver optimal air conditioning technology.
The three types to choose from are as follows:
*Mini Split
*Window Type
*Portable
Mini Split
The cooling process of a Mini Split air conditioner uses an indoor and outdoor unit system. It is a typical choice for residential units or small commercial spaces.
Window Type
Built to fit your window frame, LG Window air conditioners offer stellar durability and performance with their modern panel design.
Portable
LG portable air conditioners are ideal for single rooms. They provide cool temperatures with energy savings, automatically remove condensation build-up, and are easy to install and store.
How to choose the right size air conditioner for your home
You must consider size of the air conditioner before selecting the perfect air conditioner for your place. By size, we do not mean the physical size of the system. Size here means the cooling capacity of your air conditioning unit.
When an air conditioner is oversized relative to its surroundings, it can cause constant on/off sequences that result in either overheating or overcooling. When this happens, you’ll have hot spots throughout your home. This can leave some rooms cool, and others hot and humid. In contrast, air conditioners that are too small run for too long trying to reach your desired temperature.
First, when choosing the right size air conditioner for your home, the most vital information you need is the size of the space to cool . You need to calculate the size of the room to decide on the ideal air conditioner capacity.
Second, you need to understand how much cooling/heating is needed for the space. BTU stands for British Thermal Unit, a measurement of how much energy an air conditioner consumes to eliminate heat from your place within an hour. Correct BTU calculation ensures that the air conditioner will provide efficient cooling without piling up on your electricity bill.
However, this calculation doesn’t stand true in every case because we didn’t take the ceiling height, number of windows and other such aspects into account. In case you get confused with calculations, seek help from a professional. They will analyze your place and will recommend you an appropriate air conditioner size.
Your guide to accurate installation
It is advisable to entrust a professional technician to install your air conditioner. Such an expert will set the ideal environment to ensure optimal air conditioner usage.
Before reaching out for help with installation, however, there are basic conditions you should make sure your chosen air conditioner type and its environment meet.

Mini Split
Although Mini Split air conditioners can be installed on any wall, it is recommended to maintain the proper distance suggested by the manufacturer, for efficient operations, noise, and reliability.
Window Type
Since Window air conditioners rely on a power source to operate, heed the distance between the window and the nearest outlet. A certified technician should attend to parts that call for secure wiring.
Portable
Make sure to consider the distance between the window and the nearest outlet. The hose from the air conditioner should reach the other side of the window.

Air Conditioner FAQ
What is a suitable temperature setting for my air conditioner?
When you turn on the air conditioner for the first time, set it to a low temperature and use a strong wind setting to quickly lower the temperature in the room. Once your room has cooled sufficiently, 25℃ is the optimal temperature to maintain a cool house and save energy.
What is the difference between an inverter air conditioner and a non-inverter air conditioner?
Inverter air conditioners operate more efficiently than non-inverter air conditioners. Non-inverter air conditioners have compressors spinning at the same speed regardless of temperature, turning off when the desired temperature is reached and turning on again when the temperature rises. Inverter air conditioners operate by adjusting the compressor faster at higher temperatures and slower at lower temperatures, which means they save more energy than non-inverter air conditioners and enable faster cooling and quieter operation.
What is a smart air conditioner?
A smart air conditioner is an air conditioner that can be controlled and monitored through an application using a smartphone or smart speaker with an internet connection. You can control and monitor the air conditioner remotely without being restricted by time or place.
The various useful smart functions of LG DUALCOOL are available through the LG ThinQ smart app. Conveniently turn the LG air conditioner on and off with your smartphone or control the temperature setting and mode remotely without having to be in the same room! Furthermore, energy monitoring allows you to view and manage your energy usage, allowing you to make smarter energy choices. (*This function may not be available in some countries).
How can I clean and manage the air conditioner?
For optimal performance, the filter needs to be cleaned every two weeks. Wash the outer surface of the pre-filter with water or use a neutral detergent for an occasional deeper clean. After washing with water, dry the pre-filter in the shade away from direct sunlight. Clean the UltraFine Dust Filter with a vacuum or a soft brush, but do not clean with water.
How can I save energy while using the air conditioner?
You can save energy by selecting appropriate temperatures when cooling and heating and by regularly cleaning the filters to reduce unnecessary energy wastage.
Can the air conditioner heat my house too?
When cooling, the air conditioner sends cold air indoors and hot air outdoors. During heating, the refrigerant flow direction can be changed to send warm air into the house to heat it. The LG
How do I install the air conditioner?
Among the various types of air conditioners, a professional engineer must install Split type air conditioners because the installation process requires drilling through walls to connect outdoor and indoor units. Window, Wall, and Portable air conditioners do not require pipe installation due to the built-in outdoor unit, so you can install them yourself.
