Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions has announced its first integrated offering with partner tado.
Panasonic’s Aquarea air-to-water heat pump technology has been combined with tado smart heating products for room control and energy management services, to create one integrated solution, available this Autumn. A company statement said that this builds on their partnership, revealed earlier this year.
This joint offering has seen tado manage its Heat Pump Optimizer X with the energy management service balance to work seamlessly with Panasonic’s Aquarea heat pump technology, the statement added.
The integrated solution is managed by a tailored user-friendly app which enables users to enhance their heat pump settings for greater efficiency, it noted. It allows users to automatically adjust electricity usage to periods of time when renewable energy is available and at low cost.
This means Aquarea heat pumps will deliver heat based on the demand in each room, managed by tado smart thermostats with Balance’s energy management software.
Also available on the application is access to the Aquarea heat pump information and settings alongside saving information.
Hiroshi Komatsubara, CEO of Panasonic Heating Ventilation and Airconditioning Company in Europe, said: “I am excited about our collaboration with tado for smart heat pump solutions. Our partnership has significantly developed since March and has seen us making significant progress in our shared mission to help customers achieve unprecedented levels of energy efficiency and savings, whilst continuously optimising comfort for our customers.
“I truly believe Panasonic’s 60 years of experience in heat pump technology is continuing to grow to provide greater value to our customers by optimising our technology and this opportunity with tado really demonstrates that.”
