How cold does the LG standard central heat?
Down to −20°C. LG publishes that limit for the KUSXB121A and KUSXB181A outdoor units, and NEEP certifies all seven systems’ output at −20°C. Below that, backup heat takes over.
Is there a one-ton LG central system?
Yes, the KSSLB121A system: KUSXB121A and KNSLB121A, certified at 12,000 BTU/h in cooling and on the LogisVert list at $1,140. It is the only one-ton LG central system we offer.
Why do the 1.5-ton and the 2-ton give the same output at −15°C?
Because NEEP certifies both at 22,000 BTU/h at that temperature. The 2-ton cools more, certifies more at −8°C and gets $600 more from LogisVert.
Do you offer the 5-ton LG standard central?
No. LG publishes a 5-ton KSSLB601A system, but our line stops at 4 tons.
Does my central really cool 4 tons?
The 4-ton standard is certified at 45,500 BTU/h, not 48,000. Four of the seven sizes are certified below their nominal tonnage: we size with the certified value.
Do I need an electric heat kit with a standard central?
For days below −20°C, you need backup heat. LG provides ANEH electric heat kits for that, housed in the air handler: we choose the size with you.
