LG ACs

LG ACs are one of the best ACs available on the market. The biggest advantage of LG air conditioners is their high energy savings, along with their higher speed and better cooling range when compared to conventional compressors. R32 refrigerant used in this AC has a lower global warming potential. The low refrigerant detection in the AC, in case of gas leakage or any other issue, will make the refrigerant level go below 40%, thus warning the user about it and shutting down the AC. Whenever someone thinks about an AC for their budget, it’s better to buy an LG AC. In the LG Air Conditioners, the throw distance of air is among the highest in the industry. LG provides a Gold Fin anti-corrosive condenser, which is resistant to corrosion and lengthens the life of the heat exchanger.
