Offering an expanded nationwide network of technicians to support dealers and an industry-first customer care service with ThinQ™, LG Builder extends LG’s trademark reliability, innovation and value to the builder, remodeler and designer communities. LG is displaying new ENERGY STAR® certified home appliances across three diverse appliance brand portfolios – LG, LG STUDIO and Signature Kitchen Suite:
- The fast-growing Signature Kitchen Suite brand reflects LG’s commitment to producing the industry’s best built-in luxury appliances with leading-edge technology, enabling “Technicurean™” home chefs to prepare and preserve food in the best possible ways. New for 2023 is the first-of-its-kind 48-inch built-in French Door Refrigerator featuring a functional and innovative convertible drawer with five preset temperatures ranging from 41⁰F to -7⁰F to allow for precise food preservation.

The LG STUDIO kitchen appliance lineup features built-in and freestanding options with exclusive features and premium finishes for those with a discerning eye for design. New product introductions for this year include MoodUP™ by LG STUDIO, which allow consumers to customize the refrigerator to suit their mood using colorful LED panels.

Home 8 enables homebuilders to offer time-of-use functionalities with 14.4 kWh of useable capacity and 15.8kWh name plate capacity to power homes day and night.

LG home appliances, HVAC systems, and energy storage systems are designed with connectivity, quality and energy efficiency in mind.

These Wi-Fi-enabled smart devices can be managed, monitored and controlled remotely as a complete turnkey solution with the LG ThinQ app.
