What I noticed
The LG ThermaV is notable for offering genuine mid-range efficiency at what is typically a lower installed price than European brands. LG's ThinQ app provides solid smart controls and real-time monitoring — more polished than some competitors in this segment.
Who it suits
Buyers looking for the best efficiency-per-pound who are comfortable with a Korean brand rather than a European one. LG has a growing UK installer base and solid parts availability through electrical wholesalers.
Watch for
5-year warranty is shorter than some competitors. Installer familiarity is lower than Mitsubishi or Worcester Bosch — ask your installer how many LG units they've commissioned.
