LG / ARTCOOL Premier R-32
LG ARTCOOL Premier 24k R-32 230V Mini-Split
The LG Art Cool Premier 24k tops the designer line at 2 tons: SEER2 23, EER2 13, HSPF2 10.2, with 24,000 BTU of heat at 47F and 21,600 BTU held at 5F on R-32. It conditions a large space from a premium designer head, with efficiency stepping down as expected at this capacity.

Frequently asked questions
- Can I install the LG ARTCOOL Premier R-32 24,000 BTU (230V) myself, or do I need a pro?
- LG ARTCOOL Premier R-32 24,000 BTU (230V) is built for professional installation: the line set must be flared, evacuated, and charged, which requires EPA-certified refrigerant handling. Installing it outside the manufacturer's requirements can void the warranty, so budget for a qualified HVAC installer.
- Will the LG ARTCOOL Premier R-32 24,000 BTU (230V) keep heating in a cold winter?
- The manufacturer publishes 21,600 BTU/h of heating output at 5F. Rated heating operation extends down to -13 F. Certified heating efficiency is 10.2 HSPF2. Match those numbers against your climate's design temperature - in cold regions, output at 5F matters far more than the nameplate capacity measured at 47F.
- What electrical circuit does the LG ARTCOOL Premier R-32 24,000 BTU (230V) need?
- Published electrical requirements: 208/230V voltage, 17 A minimum circuit ampacity, and 19 A maximum breaker or fuse sizing. Confirm the final circuit against the unit nameplate and local code with a licensed electrician.
- How far can the outdoor unit be from the indoor head?
- The published maximum line-set length is 164 ft, and the included line set comes pre-charged for 24.6 ft. Longer runs than the included set allows typically mean added refrigerant and a pro visit, so measure the planned routing before ordering.
- What warranty does the LG ARTCOOL Premier R-32 24,000 BTU (230V) carry?
- The manufacturer publishes these warranty tiers: Standard: 5 yr parts / 7 yr compressor (standard coverage); Best case: 10 yr parts / 10 yr compressor (qualified registered installation). Registration requirements and proof of qualified installation commonly affect coverage, so read the warranty terms before install day.
