Panasonic’s Aquarea L Series heat pumps utilise the natural refrigerant R290, which has a low GWP of 3, therefore a lower environmental impact than alternative refrigerants, and allows for a more energy-efficient solution (A+++). The award-winning heat pumps were recognised in the 2022 Good Design Awards, the iF Design Awards 2023 and the Red Dot Awards 2023, all of which highlighted the outstanding design of the heat pumps – aesthetically and functionally.

The L Series allows for easy installation with a hydraulic (water) connection between the indoor and outdoor unit. The Aquarea L series provides water outlet temperatures of up to 75°C, even in outdoor temperatures down to -10°C.

To enhance performance and user experience, the latest units come with a host of standard connection options, such as buffer tank control, secondary heating pump, three-way or two-way valve control, room thermostat, boiler connection (hybrid) and Panasonic Wi-Fi control of the heat pump remotely. The heat pump has the capability of fitting an upgrade board alongside many more added options, including two zone control, PV integration and swimming pool pump control ­– to name a few.
