Review Posted 05/18/2020
Awesome unit.Quiet and very very efficient. First installation of this unit was my bed room last summer.After companys came and estimate 2+Grand ,i did quiet a search and read the forums about how to install this unit by my self. As a cabinet constructor i knew it is something not hard to do it when you have proper HVAC tools and a little bit knowledge.
Installation was straight forward but my problems begun after.Thermostat issue.was not keeping the temp's accurately.
Did call some HVAC company's and told my situation.They were out of my budget and were not help to my problems.
Anyway now i am telling you guys the problem was the setup parameters that you have to change to your needs after installation.All you have to do is to get a wall thermostat that you can change the location of the sensor and ceiling height that the indoor unit located.There are other ways that you can do it with the handheld remote or computer but for now it is out of my option .Since the company(LG) keeping all those info to their guy's all i had to do was figure it out with the wall thermostat unit and that was it.
After i solve my problem i knew this machine was golden and this year got me another one and install it to my living room.
No more suffering 100+ extreme temps here in California.

This LG Art Premier Mini-Split heat pump is great. Both the indoor evaporator and the outdoor condenser are nearly silent and look great. The remote is logical, has a nice display, and is easy to use. I look forward to purchasing another unit for a different area of my house. This is classic LG quality. The only thing that I could even think to improve would be the instruction sheet. It could be larger and the steps laid out in more logical, easier to follow manner.

Sunroom Relief

Review Posted 08/21/2019
We Love,Love, Love this system. Researched many units and the LG stood out as the best. In the summer our room was so hot we couldn't use it and in the winter we ran a space heater but it couldn't keep up. We mounted the unit under a window and it turned out to be PERFECT. Hired a heating guy I know to install everything and he was done in about 2 hours. Can finally enjoy our sunroom. The pricing was the best I could find for this unit and everything arrived shortly after I ordered.

Review Posted 08/11/2019
The upstairs rooms in my home never had the proper returns setup when the house was build (40's) so the ducts never supplied the same hot/cold air that the downstairs received. After talking with my next door neighbor he put me on to mini splits. I spent my time reading up on the subject and this LG unit is what ended up being ideal for my situation. The entire system was setup today and it works like a dream. I had previously used mobile AC units for the rooms that were drawing 9 amps each whereas both the new units together running at their coolest setting (18c) has a combined 4.3amp drain. According to the label on the side of the unit they are less efficient in the winter as heat pumps but seeing as how its upstairs rooms that they would be heating I hope it won't be that big of a deal.
Compared to the option of busting out drywall, running new ducts, installing new drywall and then painting the cost of these units is a fraction of the cost I was looking at. Coupled with the efficiency they provide and its a no brainer. The wall mounts inside are quiet and very sleek looking. The remotes look rather cheap and reminiscent of a motel tv remote but that is my only knock on the system at this point.
Overall eComfort had the best cost and selection from what I found. The outside unit arrived with one of the plastic plugs pushed in to the fins so I thought the unit might have been damaged in transit. My HVAC installer told me it was fine and after powering everything up and having zero leaks it backed up that assessment. I would recommend buying the install kits as well. My installer told me that he would buy the accessories at cost for me but after hearing the price he told me to go through eComfort. Since I didn't order it initially I had to pay shipping for two orders so there's a regret right there.
While this might sound like a fanboy/bought review it is not. There is nothing I can do to convince you otherwise if you think what is written is too good to be true. All I can say is that today I moved out the two mobile AC units as well as the two heaters from both of my tenants rooms and I'm paying a fraction of the heating/cooling bills I was before.

We are really enjoying having this unit. It does a great job of keeping our small space warm or cool. When the temperature drops to the low 30's it seems to struggle to regulate and makes lots of noise in the process. Other then that it is a fairly quite machine.

Review Posted 03/03/2018
This LG Red Heat Pump has been the best investment I've made for my house. I Live in Central Pennsylvania so we get our share of single digit and negative temperatures in the winter and this heat pump kept up with no issues at all! After replacing my existing oil furnace with this heat pump as well another 30,000 BTU LG heat pump in the fall, I've been monitoring our homes energy usage as well as my wife's comfort religiously. I am happy to report that after our first winter which had several 0 degree and colder days we've saved around $700.00 in heating expenses and are heating twice the area(recently finished our basement). Not only have we saved money but every area in our 2,000 sq. ft. house is nice and comfortable. Highly recommend this product to anyone looking to update their HVAC system. Cant wait for zoned cooling this summer without having to lug around heavy window units.
