LG Electronics is expanding its supply in Europe, the birthplace of heat pumps, by winning a series of large-scale orders.

LG Electronics said on the 17th that it recently won an order to provide heating and cooling solutions for a residential complex of more than 1,000 households in the Calle Fuerzas Armadas area near Madrid, Spain, and is now installing its high-efficiency, large-capacity heat pump, the LG Multi V i.

The LG Multi V i saves energy with a high-efficiency inverter compressor and an AI-based smart control system. It also uses R32 refrigerant, which has about 30% of the global warming potential of conventional R-410A refrigerant, meeting Europe’s demanding environmental standards.

By reflecting local customer requirements from the early stages of the project, LG Electronics was able to gain an advantage in order competition with global HVAC companies.

An LG Electronics official said that the company differentiated its 1-port shut-off valve unit, a safety device that detects refrigerant leaks and blocks them, by making it smaller and lighter than competitors' products. The official added that this improved space efficiency and installation convenience in Europe’s relatively compact residential spaces.

LG Electronics is also supplying customized heat pump solutions for more than 500 households at the residential complexes King's Circle and The One in Belgrade, the capital of Serbia, centering on Multi V i and LG MULTI V S.

In that project, the company simplified the system so that a single outdoor unit could provide both heating and cooling as well as hot water, and so that HVAC and hot water supply were possible without a separate heat recovery unit. That helped cut construction costs and improve installation efficiency.

Europe’s heat pump market continues to grow, supported by the European Union's REPowerEU Plan, which is accelerating the transition to eco-friendly energy.

According to the European Heat Pump Association (EHPA), total heat pump sales in 16 major European countries in 2025 reached 2.63 million units, up more than 11% from a year earlier. Market research firm MMR Statistics forecast that Europe’s heat pump market will grow to $46 billion by 2032.
