ThinQ Technology Featured at IBS 2025 Offers Advanced Connectivity, Extended Product Life, Easy Upgrades for a Future-Ready Home

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 25, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- At the 2025 NAHB International Builders' Show^® (IBS), LG Electronics is demonstrating the latest innovations for the professional market with the LG ThinQ^® smart home platform, enhancing connectivity and convenience for builders and their clients. Using AI-powered technology, ThinQ offers seamless integration with LG products and personalized features that extend product life and simplify future upgrades, empowering builders to create efficient and homeowner-friendly homes.

Using AI technology, LG ThinQ® smart home platform seamlessly integrates with LG products, offering personalized features that extend product life and simplify future upgrades.

According to Guy Minnix, head of the LG Pro Builder division of LG Electronics USA, builders will benefit from fewer repairs and preventable damages with seamless appliance management while homeowners enjoy personalized features, software upgrades, and tailored services that optimize performance and reduce carbon footprints throughout the lifespan of their appliances.

"As a leader in smart life solutions, LG uniquely delivers ThinQ-enabled smart appliances and energy-efficient technologies that empower builders to create ultra-connected, high-performance homes," said Minnix. "By leveraging this best-in-class technology, we're helping builders enhance the overall ownership experience by offering a simple and convenient way to stay connected and remotely control, monitor, and troubleshoot products."

A wide range of home appliances from refrigerators, wall ovens and cooktops to washers and dryers are equipped with ThinQ software. Cooking becomes smarter with the app which provides access to step-by-step video tutorials and the ability to send cooking instructions directly to compatible smart ranges or wall ovens. Homeowners can easily turn appliances on and off, adjust temperature settings remotely, and monitor energy consumption and usage – all from the app. The ThinQ app also works with virtual assistants like Amazon Echo and Google Home for easy access.

According to home technology expert Carley Knobloch, "ThinQ lets you stay in touch with your appliances throughout the day. What are they up to? When will tasks be complete? Do they need maintenance or repair? You have all that information in the palm of your hand, which makes household chores ridiculously easy."

LG ThinQ seamlessly integrates with Smart Apartment platforms through its open architecture, providing multi-family property managers comprehensive control of LG appliances and HVAC systems via a centralized management portal. This integration enhances operational efficiency through remote system monitoring, automated controls, and proactive issue detection capabilities, including water leak alerts.

Minnix said builders and property management teams can optimize energy consumption across their multi-family buildings while delivering an elevated resident experience with convenient smart home functionality. "The result," he explained, "is a dual benefit: reduced operational expenses and utility costs alongside increased tenant satisfaction and retention."

Unique to LG is ThinQ Care,™ a dynamic service that offers proactive maintenance, diagnostic alerts, and real-time support, minimizing downtime. Integrated directly into the app, this complimentary service helps users stay ahead of potential issues, saving time and money while maximizing their investment in LG smart appliances. Additionally, ThinQ UP™ software learns from a homeowner's frequent behaviors and ensures appliances continue to evolve, delivering the latest innovations and security updates without any manual effort.

Visitors to the upcoming 2025 IBS located in Las Vegas, Nev., Feb. 25-27, will be invited to explore LG Pro Builder's robust portfolio of smart life solutions in booth #W2931. The New American Home^® (TNAH), the official show home of the IBS, will also showcase LG and SKS (formerly known as Signature Kitchen Suite) appliances, as well as LG HVAC solutions and consumer electronics.
