Additionally, Panasonic produces advanced refrigeration units to further cater to the diverse needs of its customers. Whether it's for your home or business, you can rely on Panasonic to provide innovative solutions that make your space more comfortable, efficient, and sustainable.

Energy efficient cooling for your comfort

Nobody wants to break the bank on energy bills just to stay cool. That's why Panasonic’s air conditioning systems are designed with energy efficiency in mind, such as its Etherea series which boasts the highest energy rating of A+++ in heating and cooling. You can relax in comfort knowing that you're not only keeping your home cool but also saving on energy costs. Panasonic designs its systems to consume less energy and operate in a more efficient manner to provide users with many benefits, including a reduction in their carbon footprint and help to lower energy bills.

For further energy savings, Panasonic’s Comfort Cloud App allows users to control their air conditioning with a smartphone or tablet. A standout feature is its energy consumption graphs, which provides users with a detailed view of their energy usage patterns. This tool helps users identify opportunities for increased efficiency and cost savings. With the ability to set custom electricity rates, users can estimate their bills more accurately.

Breathe easy with indoor air quality solutions

Air conditioning systems don't just control temperature – they can also improve air quality. During summer, when allergens and pollutants are more common, a good air conditioning system can filter out dust, pollen, and other harmful particles with the help of the right technology. It also helps control humidity, which prevents mould and bacteria from growing.

Panasonic’s nanoe™ X technology comes as standard in many of Panasonic’s ranges. The nanoe™ X Mark 2 and Mark 3 technology has been tested and certified according to VDI standards^[1]. nanoe™ X utilises hydroxyl radicals which are abundant in nature and have the capacity to inhibit five types of pollutants, including certain viruses and bacteria, to clean and deodorise. nanoe™ X technology can bring these incredible benefits indoors so that hard surfaces, soft furnishings, and the indoor environment can be a cleaner and pleasant place to be. Panasonic’s nanoe™ X generator Mark 3 is the latest generation of the innovative technology, providing an even higher level of performance. It can be found in many of its ranges such as the air-to-air Etherea ZKE, and in commercial solutions such as the MU2 90x90 Cassettes and the MF3 Adaptive Ducted Units.

Stay cool and in control

Panasonic's Smart Cloud system enhances air conditioning efficiency through remote control and monitoring capabilities. It allows users to remotely control and monitor their air conditioners, enabling them to adjust temperature and humidity levels according to changing needs, such as occupancy and outdoor conditions. This ensures that homes or buildings remain comfortable even when occupants are away, saving energy by not overcooling or overheating unnecessarily.

Additionally, the ability to receive alerts and notifications in the event of any failures or errors via the Comfort Cloud app ensures that air conditioning systems operate efficiently throughout the season, reducing the risk of breakdowns or malfunctions during hot weather. This app enables control of indoor functions such as on/off, quiet mode, fan speed, airflow direction, and temperature, promoting comfort and energy savings.

Style meets comfort

Who says air conditioning units must be an eyesore? Panasonic offers a range of stylish and inviting solutions that complement any home decor. Whether you prefer sleek wall-mounted units or discreet ducted systems, Panasonic products are designed to enhance the ambience of your living space while providing superior comfort.

Units include Panasonic’s advanced indoor Etherea range, which come with nanoe™X mark 3. The solutions come in graphite grey, silver matt and pure white matt colours to seamlessly blend into the most stylish homes. Not only is it aesthetically pleasing, the space saving and cost-efficient Etherea is extremely energy efficient.

Panasonic’s range of air conditioners also includes the wall mounted TZ, which comes with nanoe™X as standard. The air conditioner is the ideal solution for the smallest spaces in any home, with a compact chassis of just 779mm wide.

Embracing sustainability

Panasonic's GREEN IMPACT initiative represents the company's dedication to reducing its carbon footprint and fostering environmental sustainability. This initiative encompasses setting ambitious targets for emission reduction, integrating sustainability into product development by utilising eco-friendly technologies like natural refrigerants, such as R290, promoting emissions reduction efforts throughout society, and investing in innovative solutions such as nanoe™ X technology for improved indoor air quality. Through these measures, Panasonic aims to minimise its environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.

Panasonic is committed to enhancing its air source heat pumps and using natural refrigerants. This ensures that its products not only meet but exceed new energy efficiency standards, supporting the UK's broader sustainability goals and helping to create a greener future for all.   

Across the world, people are turning to alternatives to gas boilers in the search for more sustainable heating and cooling sources - and Panasonic continually strives to enhance its air source heat pumps and looking to natural sources of refrigerants to ensure its portfolio delivers in all areas.

The versatility of Aquarea heat pumps
