“Since this is a heat pump, what refrigerant does it use? Also what is the total weight of this unit? Combo units are extremely heavy and most floor joists have to be reinforced to handle the weight.”

Not sure about refrigerant but it weighs ~ 250lbs so any floor joists up to code should be just fine - no reinforcement needed.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi there! Thank you for your questions. Refrigerant: The LG WM6998HBA heat pump washer uses R-134a refrigerant. This is a common refrigerant used in various heat pump and cooling applications. Total Weight: The LG WM6998HBA washer is indeed a heavy unit, typically weighing around 280 lbs (127 kg). Given the weight, it's important to ensure that your floor joists are properly reinforced to support the unit, especially if it will be installed on an upper floor or in a space with limited structural support.
