LG is celebrating after three of its new air conditioners were recognised by consumer group Choice, which ranked them number one in their respective categories in a recent review.

The Choice review assessed and scored more than 160 split-system reverse-cycle air conditioners, taking into account their cooling and heating efficiency and airflow.

LG’s split-system reverse-cycle P, S and W air conditioner models ranked number one in their respective categories in the large cooling capacity category (6.1KW and over).

“We’re ecstatic about the recognition of our new line of air conditioners by Choice. That sort of kudos – especially from such a respected, independent and non-biased publication – is a real validation. It speaks to the genuine effort and technological innovation that LG applied in building these new models and their suitability for the Australian climate,” said Lambro Skropidis, general manager marketing at LG Australia.

“We knew that the quarterly electricity bill was a big concern for many Australians, but simply turning off the AC was hardly a comfortable solution during the hot summer months either,” Skropidis said. “So we feel now, with LG’s new technology, the control is placed back into the hands of Australian consumers.”

Greater control over energy consumption is a key focus for LG’s newest line of air conditioners with features such as Active Energy Control which offers three levels of power reduction (80, 60 and 40 per cent) and Wi-Fi Smart Control to operate your air conditioner remotely from your smartphone.
