LG seven-zone heat pump: four units, and every head size counts
LG has no “Seven-Zone” unit: seven rooms run on its four Eight-Zone units, the KUMXB481A, KUMXB541A, KUMXB601A and KUMXA481A. Here every head size counts. Seven 12,000 heads make 84,000 BTU/h, more than the ceiling of any LG unit, and on a 48,000 a single 12,000 already forces another head down to 7,000.

The largest head mix, unit by unit
At seven heads, each unit has its own ceiling. The bars compare a typical mix of 12,000s and 9,000s with each unit’s ceiling.
Marker: each unit’s ceiling, 65,000, 73,000 or 81,000 BTU/h.
No Seven-Zone at LG
LG’s manuals name its units Dual-, Tri-, Quad-, Five-, Six- and Eight-Zone. None stops at seven heads: the four units allowed all go up to eight.
Seven is also the first count the KUMXA421A no longer covers. The KUMXA481A becomes the only possible LGRED°: 48,000 BTU/h, certified down to −25°C, $4,200 indicative.
Seven heads: test your mix
The tool opens on the KUMXB541A with three 12,000s and four 9,000s, or 72,000 against a 73,000 ceiling. Turn one 9,000 into a 12,000 and the total goes over.
This combination fits LG’s range of 18,000 BTU/h to 73,000 BTU/h.
Connected capacity ranges and largest wall head with 7 heads: LG R-32 combination data manuals (PDFs dated January 15, 2026). With 7 heads, the tool checks neither exclusions by head type nor the capacity per distribution-box port: we confirm those on the quote.
| Unit (LG ceiling) | All at 9,000 | All at 12,000 | Largest head, the rest at 7,000 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 48,000 units, ceiling 65,000 | 63,000 · yes | no; a 12,000 needs a 7,000 (64,000) | 18,000 (60,000); the 24,000 gives 66,000 · no |
| KUMXB541A, ceiling 73,000 | 63,000 · yes | no; 12,000 × 3 + 9,000 × 4 = 72,000 | 24,000 (66,000) · yes |
| KUMXB601A, ceiling 81,000 | 63,000 · yes | 84,000 · no; 12,000 × 6 + 9,000 = 81,000 | 24,000 · yes |
Seven branches: the average drops below 15 m
Seven branches within 90 m
Each branch can run up to 15 m, but all of them together stay within 90 m (295.3 ft): 42.2 ft, or 12.9 m, on average at most. Seven is the first count where the branches cannot all reach 15 m. Distant heads are offset by heads close to their box.
Limits read on LG’s KUMXB601A spec sheet. For the KUMXB481A, KUMXB541A and KUMXA481A, whose sheets we have not read, we presume them identical and check them on the quote.
Two boxes, seven ports
Seven heads take seven ports: a 4-port box (PMBD3640ZR or PMBD3641ZR) and a 3-port box (PMBD3630ZR) make the exact count, on the ARBLN03321 Y-branch.
Two 4-port boxes would leave one port free. The LG documents read do not say whether that is allowed, so we confirm it before installation.
Four R-32 Eight-Zone units, one of them LGRED°
The KUMXB481A is in our 7-zone collection. The KUMXA481A, KUMXB541A and KUMXB601A are sold as seven-head systems outside the collection, and the Multizones page covers them too.

Three seven-head listings
The KUMXB481A, at $1,690, is the only one of the 7-zone collection’s three listings on the LogisVert list of October 27, 2026. The R-410A LMU480HV and LMU600HV have no NEEP, ENERGY STAR or Hydro-Québec record.
| Outdoor unit | Refrigerant | LG family | Max. heads (LG) | LogisVert |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KUMXB481A | R-32 | Multi F MAX | 8 | $1,690 |
| LMU480HV | R-410A | not confirmed | not confirmed | not on the list |
| LMU600HV | R-410A | not confirmed | not confirmed | not on the list |
The store titles the KUMXB481A “Multi F” and the LMU480HV and LMU600HV “MULTI F”. LG files the KUMXB481A under Multi F MAX; for the two R-410A units, no LG document read confirms the family.
Our published projects do not feature a seven-room LG multi-zone yet.

Seven rooms on one LG unit, every head the right size, planned with you and installed by AirGreen.
We come see your home, choose the series and size with you, and hand you a clear quote with the AHRI number and the indicative LogisVert amount when the unit qualifies.
Hydro-Québec does not solicit anyone by phone or door to door for LogisVert. If a call “from Hydro-Québec” offers you a heat pump, hang up.
