They feature high power outputs and outstanding durability that perform well in a variety of environments and weather conditions. LG's solar offerings not only provide a high-performing energy solution, but also fit into a variety of configurations, blending in unobtrusively to the look and feel of the home's design. They are backed by LG's strong 25-year product and performance warranty.
Super-Efficient and Sleek Air Conditioning Technologies
Featuring myriad of super-efficient HVAC systems and controls, TNAR embeds sleek ENERGY STAR certified LG air conditioning solutions that complement the home's unique design characteristics.
