Panasonic Air Conditioning Perth

What type of Panasonic air conditioner would suit me?

Deciding which type of Panasonic air conditioner will meet your needs depends on your individual circumstances, and what exactly you are looking for. We’ve broken down the pros and cons of both Panasonic air conditioner split systems and ducted to help you make your decision.

Panasonic air conditioner split system

A split system works through two main components; an indoor unit (the evaporator) and an outdoor unit (the condenser). The indoor unit draws the heat out of the room it’s in, then funnels it to the outdoor unit, which expels the heat, so that the now cooler air can be recirculated around the room.

Advantages

The main advantage of split systems is that they allow you to spot-control heating and cooling. With a ducted system, all vents are controlled with a central system, meaning you might not be able to target specific rooms for heating and cooling. 

If you have a split system with multiple units, you can adjust the temperature of each one separately to heat or cool different rooms when you need to. This could make a huge difference to your energy bills, especially during hot summer months. 

Considerations

The main consideration is the aesthetics of your split system, as your indoor units have to be mounted onto the walls within the room they are cooling. This can be a bit of an eyesore. As they only circulate the air from the room once it’s been stripped of heat, they do not provide fresh air, so can be stuffy. 

Panasonic ducted air conditioner 

A ducted air conditioner can be almost totally hidden from sight. Ducted air conditioning works by cooling or heating air in a central indoor unit using refrigerant. 

A powerful blower fan then pushes this conditioned air through a network of ducts that have been hidden in the walls or ceiling. The air is then distributed into different rooms through vents, while return air grilles draw air back to the unit for re-conditioning.

Advantages

Panasonic’s range of ducted air conditioners are the perfect climate control solution for Australia. Their operating temperature ranges between -20C to 46C, making them suited to any climate and weather. Panasonic ducted air conditioners are also durable, with their outdoor units being made to endure the harsh Australian environment. They are built to be resistant to factors like salty air, dust, wind and rain. 

This durability extends to internal components too. The heat exchanges in the air conditioning units use blue fin technology. This gives a much greater resistance to corrosion compared to most of their competitors. 

As a result, they provide better performance for longer. Despite this, all of these units still operate quietly to let you enjoy a good night’s sleep.

Considerations

Ducted air conditioning can be more expensive to install, as your HVAC technician will need access to a roof or ceiling space to conceal the inside unit. It may also take longer to install, due to the more complicated nature of the install. 

Panasonic’s air conditioner servicing

Like any electronic appliance, your Panasonic air conditioner will eventually need servicing, and possibly repair. Getting your Panasonic system serviced at least once a year is a good idea so that an HVAC technician can clean it out and ensure all the parts are functioning correctly. 

In addition to the annual servicing, you should contact a professional if you observe any unusual noises, odours, or leaks from your air conditioner. Reduced efficiency or insufficient airflow could also indicate that your air conditioner requires repair. While these issues might appear minor, left untreated, they could escalate into major problems unexpectedly. And nobody wants to deal with a malfunctioning air conditioner during the peak of summer.

How long will my Panasonic air conditioner last?

A good quality Panasonic can easily last over a decade without a hint of trouble. The more often you service your air con unit, the longer it will last. 

How can I prolong its lifespan?

To prolong the lifespan of your air conditioner and ensure it runs efficiently for years to come, make sure you clean or replace air filters regularly, particularly if you have pets at home, or use your system frequently. 

When cleaning your system, make sure you clean the outdoor unit, as well as any indoor components. Keeping the area around your air conditioning clear will also help ensure that debris doesn’t get caught in the system and slow it down. 

It’s also important to schedule professional servicing at least once a year. Our qualified HVAC technicians will be able to spot any small issues and correct them before they turn into larger issues with your system. 

If you are trying to prolong the lifespan of your air conditioning system, it’s also worth considering how often you use it. Are there times of year or day when you use it more frequently than you need to? Reducing your usage is one way to increase how long your air conditioner lasts for.
