Installer
Plug Me In, a Panasonic Pro-Partner installing air source heat pumps on a
national scale, recommended a Panasonic 7 kW Aquarea L-Series that utilises
R290 refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of only three. The solution
includes a Panasonic All-in-One indoor unit that houses both the hot water tank
and hydraulic unit.
The
Panasonic solution seamlessly transitions from a combi-gas boiler to a heat
pump, using many of the existing radiators to minimise costs. The couple opted
for the Panasonic L Series as a climate-conscious decision to enhance
sustainability and future proof their home.
Homeowner
Derek Softley commented, “It was an environmental decision that we researched extensively.
On Plug Me In's recommendation, the Panasonic Aquarea L Series All-in-One heat
pump was seamlessly fitted in our kitchen. Most importantly, we have a warm
house and hot water”.
The
Panasonic L Series Aquarea heat pump has an array of capacities with a compact
footprint that allows for ease of indoor installation. Seeking a product that
fit the home's size restrictions, the All-in-One unit's subtle design and wide
range of 5, 7 and 9 kW capacities meant the unit flawlessly blended into the
couple’s kitchen.
Steve Challinor, Director of Technical Services for
Plug Me In, explained why the Aquarea L Series was ideal for this project. “We
used the All-in-One unit in the kitchen, located where the old gas boiler was
originally. We wanted to fit a stylish unit with a quiet operation. The
Panasonic option was quick and easy to install, incorporating a hot water tank
and hydraulic unit. The Panasonic Smart Cloud control system pre-empts
homeowner queries by monitoring performance".
Homeowner Derek added, "If we require
assistance, the connection between the Wiser App and the Panasonic Smart Cloud
control system alerts Plug Me In, who can provide fast and reliable rectification
remotely."
Built with Wi-Fi included, the L Series empowers
homeowners with effortless management of their heating systems through
real-time monitoring and intuitive, intelligent controls. The Panasonic Smart
Cloud control system and connected Wiser app uses consumption tracking and remote
diagnostics to reduce the inconvenience of waiting for an appointment with an
expert installer.
The new Panasonic L Series Aquarea heat pump
delivers water outlet temperatures of 75°C down to -10°C and SCOP of up to 5.6,
upholding excellent efficiency and earning an A+++ Energy Class.
Panasonic’s
Aquarea heat pump unit offers efficient
integration into the home, and advances excellence in sustainable HVAC
technology, making it a compelling choice for environmentally conscious
consumers.
