LG's VRF systems allow multiple indoor zones on a single outdoor unit, which is efficient for additions and multi-family conversions but means outdoor unit sizing has to account for simultaneous zone demand, not just total square footage.

Common LG Questions in Uptown
Premium HVAC installation should be scoped as a whole-home project, not just an equipment swap — load calculation, duct condition, and electrical capacity all affect the right system size and long-term comfort. Typical cost range: $8,000 – $25,000.
Heat pumps work reliably in Chicago winters when properly sized and paired with adequate electrical panel capacity — the biggest planning factor is usually whether your existing panel can support it. Typical cost range: $9,000 – $22,000.
Ductless mini-splits are typically the fastest solution for rooms, additions, or ADUs that the main duct system never served well, since no new ductwork is required. Typical cost range: $4,000 – $14,000.
