Panasonic Aquarea N: 3–9 kW heat pumps with a more compact indoor unit
Panasonic introduced a split range using R454C, a compact indoor unit and an included connection adaptor. Its European announcement is dated 13 October 2026.
What was announced
On 13 October 2026 Panasonic announced Aquarea High-Performance N Series, a split heat pump in 3, 5, 7 and 9 kW sizes. Refrigerant pipes connect its indoor and outdoor units. It uses R454C, with a global warming potential below 150.
The redesigned All in One indoor unit is 1,575 mm high with a 599 × 602 mm footprint. Ratings reach up to A+++ at 35°C water flow and up to A++ at 55°C: these are different test conditions, not a consumption guarantee for every house.
Indoor units include a Cloud Adaptor as standard. Panasonic Comfort Cloud provides remote heating and hot-water controls and consumption monitoring; Aquarea Service Cloud provides installers with remote maintenance tools.
The manufacturer announces European availability without specifying Spanish prices or delivery times in this release. A Spanish project still needs checks of model, supply and building suitability. The photo illustrates heating control with a thermostat, not the Panasonic equipment.
What it means for your home
A compact option to assess after confirming local supply, building heat losses and the installation’s operating temperature.
