Aircon Installers Centurion arranges free quotes for LG air conditioning: supply and installation, repairs, servicing and regas, on residential splits through to the multi-split and light commercial range.
LG is one of the easiest brands to live with in South Africa because the retail and parts network is deep. Units are stocked by the major appliance retailers, spares are held locally, and most independent contractors in Centurion have worked on them. That matters more three years into ownership than any spec on the box.

The residential range most people are choosing between is DUALCOOL, built around LG’s dual inverter compressor, and ARTCOOL where the look of the indoor unit matters. Both are reverse-cycle, both are Wi-Fi capable through the ThinQ app on most current models, and the coils carry a corrosion-resistant coating that is worth having on a Highveld condenser sitting in dust for five dry months a year.
The full current line-up, model numbers and spec sheets are published by LG Aircons on the South African site. Take the model number to your quotes rather than a capacity, because two contractors quoting "a 12000 BTU LG" can be quoting quite different units.
The headline everyone quotes is the ten-year compressor warranty. It is real, but read what it covers: LG South Africa’s own warranty terms apply it to selected models, on a parts-only basis, with labour charged to you. That is still a strong position for a domestic unit, but it is not ten years of free repairs and you should not buy on the assumption that it is.
Where the LG Range Fits
- Bedrooms and studies, 9000 to 12000 BTU wall splits, which is the bulk of what goes into Centurion homes.
- Living areas and open plan, 18000 to 24000 BTU, with the larger DUALCOOL units holding temperature well against afternoon glass.
- Homes where one outdoor position has to serve several rooms, using the multi-split range.
- Offices and shops on cassette and under-ceiling units, where LG competes on price against the specialist commercial brands.
- Anywhere the unit is visible and the client cares, which is where ARTCOOL earns its premium.
Check the model, not just the brand. LG sells at several price points and the gap between the entry inverter and the top DUALCOOL is real: quieter running, better part-load efficiency and a longer compressor warranty. Ask which specific model each quote is based on and compare those, not the badge.

Indicative ranges, not a quotation. Capacity, pipe run, condenser position, drilling, the electrical scope and access move the final number more than the badge does. Two LG quotes on the same room can differ by thousands because one includes the circuit and the other assumes you will arrange it.

Compare LG PricesWarranty, Parts and Service
Two warranties apply and they are not the same thing. The equipment warranty is LG’s and is administered through LG Electronics South Africa and its authorised service agents. The workmanship warranty belongs to whoever installed the unit, and it is the one that covers a bad flare, a skipped vacuum or a drain that was never set with fall.
Warranty on the equipment generally assumes the unit was installed correctly and has been serviced. Keep the invoice and keep the service records, because a compressor claim years later is assessed on exactly that paperwork. Register the unit when it goes in rather than trying to reconstruct the purchase date afterwards.
Parts availability is one of LG’s real advantages here. Boards, fan motors and sensors for common models are held in the country, so a repair is usually a matter of days rather than the weeks that an obscure brand can take.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the ten-year LG compressor warranty genuine?
It is, with conditions worth knowing. LG South Africa applies it to selected models and on a parts-only basis, which means the compressor itself is covered but you pay the labour to fit it. Labour on a compressor swap is not trivial. Check that the specific model you are quoted carries it, and get the term in writing rather than from an advertisement.
What is the difference between DUALCOOL and ARTCOOL?
Mostly the indoor unit. ARTCOOL is the design range, with a flat or mirrored panel meant to be looked at, and it carries a premium for that. DUALCOOL is the mainstream inverter range and is where the value sits. The underlying cooling technology is closely related, so if the unit is going into a bedroom nobody photographs, DUALCOOL is the sensible buy.
Does a cheaper online LG unit still carry the warranty?
Usually only if the seller is an authorised channel and the unit is installed by a qualified installer. Grey imports and units installed by an unqualified person are the two most common reasons a claim is refused. If you buy the unit yourself, confirm the warranty position with the seller in writing before you arrange the installation.
Can any aircon contractor work on an LG?
For routine servicing, repairs and installation, yes, and most in Centurion do. For a warranty repair, no: that has to go through LG’s authorised service channel or the claim can be rejected. If the unit is still in warranty, start with the agent rather than with an independent contractor.
Is LG good in a Highveld winter?
The reverse-cycle models heat well, which matters here in a way it does not on the coast. What to ask about is defrost behaviour: on a cold Centurion morning the outdoor coil ices and the unit periodically runs a defrost cycle, during which it stops delivering heat for a few minutes. That is normal on any brand, not a fault.
Does the Wi-Fi control actually do anything useful?
Two things worth having. Scheduling, so a room is cool before you get to it rather than running all afternoon, and the ability to see that somebody left it on. The energy-monitoring figures are indicative rather than metered, so treat them as a trend rather than a reading.
