Global HVAC technology leader LG Electronics celebrated the grand opening of its new LG Air Conditioning Technologies Training Academy in the US last week.
VIP attendees at the grand opening event got a first look at LG's 2026 high-efficiency HVAC products, including water heating and control solutions intended to enhance comfort, minimize noise and maximize energy efficiency under appropriate operating conditions.
The LG Orange Training Academy in California extends LG's national network of six specialised facilities focused on developing skilled HVAC professionals.
It joins established academies in Alpharetta, Ga.; Boston, Mass.; Chicago, Ill.; Dallas, Texas; and Englewood Cliffs, N.J. that provide training and insights into LG's air conditioning solutions.
In these academies, experienced trainers deliver courses spanning unitary, ductless, VRF and controls solutions, covering everything from installation to service for LG's full range of air conditioning and water heating products.
Senior vice president and general manager of LG Air Conditioning Technologies, LG Electronics US, Steve Scarbrough, said contractor training is critical to advancing the adoption of heat pump technology.
“LG's Orange Training Academy is the latest example of our commitment to equipping contractors and installers with the in-depth knowledge and hands-on skills intended to support implementation of HVAC technologies across California,” he said.
In addition to the training academy opening, LG rolled out its Mobile Showroom which provides immersive, hands-on demonstrations with LG products and expert insights into its HVAC technologies.
