Every year, The NEWS introduces the latest heating equipment that is available for the upcoming winter season. The intent is to help contractors prepare for this busy period by doing the research that will help them distinguish between brands.

Like last year, this year’s Heating Showcase is split into two parts — residential and commercial. The residential/light commercial information is published in this issue, and the commercial products will be featured in the Oct. 14 issue. Included in the coverage is feature-specific information about each individual product, as submitted by the manufacturers.

This photo feature provides more in-depth information on the features of each individual unit as well as technical support information from the manufacturer. The manufacturers provided all of the data included in the product grid, as well as in the photo feature. Therefore, any product questions should be directed to them via the contact information provided in the photo feature section.

Model: Standard single zone inverter duct-free split system (LS307HV3)

Footprint (in inches): 8 (length) by 48 (width) by 14 (height)

Serviceability features: The front of the unit provides easy access to filters for cleaning and replacing. The optional monitoring view (LGMV) software allows users to connect a USB port to the outdoor unit to troubleshoot and capture data in real time.

Technical support: Available at 888-865-3026, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern time, Monday to Friday.

Technical support materials: Installation, operation, and maintenance manuals; specification sheets; and startup instructions included.

Noise-reduction features: To promote a quiet comfortable environment, the single-zone indoor units operate at sound levels as low as 37 dBA in sleep mode and outdoor units as low as 35 dBA. To help reduce undesirable noise, the outdoor unit’s internal components are soft started by the controller to help reduce sounds caused by fans and compressors turning on and off.

IAQ equipment supported: The unit ensures air is passing over cold coils, pulling moisture from the air — even when the room is not being used. By capturing the moisture, the system helps increase the room’s air quality. Its dehumidification mode lowers the humidity in the room.

Thermostat compatibility: Requires an LG thermostat, but it can also use some third-party thermostats.

Replacement parts compatibility: Shares replacement parts with other models.

Additional features: Incorporates advanced technology for cost and energy-efficient operation. Its four-way auto-swing vanes provide even airflow by blowing air in multiple directions. Once the desired temperature is reached, the indoor unit operates at low speeds to help maintain the comfort level.

Warranty information: Up to seven years limited warranty available.

Special installation requirements: LG provides technical support throughout the installation and commissioning process, offering a variety of courses for installers and servicers to help ensure every duct-free system is installed properly.
