LG KUSAB121A Features
LG's devotion to providing efficient ductless solutions can be seen across their entire catalog. The single zone mini split outdoor condenser is capable of supplying ductless heating and cooling to any room in your home. With inverter technology and quiet operation this well-rounded mini split outdoor condenser is an easy choice for any system.
- Inverter Technology
- Gold Fin Protection
Enhanced Connectivity
LG's new R-32 mini split units require a 5-conductor cable (Not Included) instead of the standard 4-conductor, improving communication reliability and enabling a new leak detection feature.
Low Ambient Operations
This outdoor unit supports cooling operations down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit and heating operations down to -4 degrees Fahrenheit. There is also a defrost feature, which removes frost from the condenser coil in frigid conditions.
Quiet Design
Thanks to a brushless direct current motor and a twin rotary compressor, the unit is significantly quieter than traditional air conditioning systems. These components reduce mechanical sound, electrical sound, and vibrations within the unit.

Why Buy LG KUSAB121A High Efficiency Outdoor Condenser Unit
- High SEER2 and HSPF2 Ratings: With a SEER2 of 22.5 and HSPF2 of 10.5, the KUSAB121A delivers exceptional energy efficiency for both cooling and heating, helping lower utility bills and potentially qualifying for energy rebates.
- Inverter Technology: Equipped with a variable-speed compressor and electronic expansion valve, the unit uses inverter technology to precisely regulate refrigerant flow for reduced energy consumption and consistent indoor temperatures.
- Broad Operating Range: Capable of cooling in outdoor temperatures as low as 14°F and heating down to -4°F, the unit is well-suited for year-round performance, even in colder climates.
- Gold Fin Protection: A Gold Fin coating on the heat exchanger protects against corrosion and extends the unit’s lifespan in demanding environmental conditions.
- Integrated Base Pan Heater: A factory-installed base pan heater prevents ice accumulation during cold weather, safeguarding the system from potential freeze-related damage.
- R-32 Leak Detection: Enhanced with a 5-conductor cable, the system improves communication reliability and supports advanced leak detection for added peace of mind.
- Quiet Operation: Utilizing a brushless DC motor and twin rotary compressor, the unit minimizes mechanical noise and vibration, making it an excellent choice for quiet environments.
- Built-In Wi-Fi: When connected with a compatible indoor unit, built-in Wi-Fi and the LG ThinQ app allow for convenient remote monitoring and control via smart devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is inverter technology, and how does it work in this system?
A: Inverter technology uses a variable-speed compressor and an electronic expansion valve to regulate refrigerant flow. This allows the system to adjust temperatures continuously and precisely, improving comfort and reducing energy consumption compared to traditional fixed-speed systems.
Q: Is the system designed for quiet operation?
A: Yes, the unit is engineered for low-noise performance using a brushless DC motor and a twin rotary compressor, both of which reduce operational noise significantly.
Q: What are the minimum outdoor temperatures for operation?
A:
Cooling: Operates down to 14°F (-10°C).
Heating: Operates down to -4°F (-20°C) when equipped with an optional wind baffle kit.
Q: What type of refrigerant does the KUSAB121A use?
A: This system uses R-32 refrigerant, which has a lower global warming potential (GWP) than older refrigerants, making it a more environmentally responsible choice.
Q: Can the outdoor unit be installed directly on the ground?
A: No, ground installation is not recommended. It’s best to mount the outdoor unit on a wall bracket or a raised, level concrete pad. This ensures:
- Proper air circulation
- Protection from salt, debris, or water damage
- Reduced vibration and corrosion
