Heat pump manufacturing experience
Heat pumps sold in Japan alone
Number one heat pump company in Japan
Japanese manufacturing quality
A natural refrigerant that outperforms
Most heat pumps use synthetic refrigerants. Panasonic uses R744 (CO2) - a natural refrigerant that is better for the planet and better in the cold.
Extremely Low Environmental Impact
CO2 has a very low Global Warming Potential, making it one of the most environmentally friendly heating options available.
High Energy Efficiency
A high C.O.P. significantly reduces energy consumption and running costs, and integrates with your solar PV for even greater savings.
Reliable Cold-Climate Performance
Engineered to deliver hot water at 63 degrees C even in the coldest conditions, where conventional heat pumps struggle.
Heat from the air, hot water with less cost
- Lowest global warming potential and high energy efficiency
- CO2 refrigerant is natural, efficient and non-flammable
- Consistent hot water even in alpine regions
- Sustainable and future-proof technology
An air-to-water heat pump is a highly efficient system that uses heat from the ambient air for hot water production. Its heat energy output is about three to five times as high as the electricity input required to run it.
The Panasonic CO2 heat pump produces domestic hot water at 59 degrees C without requiring an electrical backup, even at an outside temperature of -10 degrees C.
Control your hot water
from anywhere
The Panasonic external controller is WiFi-enabled, so you can manage your hot water and air conditioning together, straight from your smart phone.
- 01 View daily, weekly, monthly or annual usage
- 02 Set your desired temperature remotely
- 03 Switch on holiday mode before you return
- 04 Manage hot water and air conditioning in one place
