17 June 2026: Panasonic has unveiled its impressive new line-up of CO₂ hot water heat pump solutions designed for Australia, with 16 configurations offering houses and families of all sizes exceptional energy efficiency and long-term savings.
A Panasonic CO₂ Heat Pump extracts heat from the air around us, heating your hot water efficiently with less cost. The top-of-the-range 6.0kW model achieves a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 6.1, meaning the solution is up to six times more energy efficient than a standard electric hot water system – making it one of the most efficient heat pumps in the market and providing significant savings on energy bills.
CO₂ is a natural refrigerant with a global warming potential of just 1, making it a genuinely cleaner choice for the home.
Panasonic’s new CO₂ hot water heat pump range maintains consistent energy efficiency and running costs regardless of where you live in Australia, with reliable and superior water temperature performance even in cold weather. It produces hot water at 59°C without requiring an electrical backup, even at an outside temperature of -10°C.
Each system can integrate with existing solar (PV) systems in the home, allowing households to use house power or PV power at their preferred times of the day.
Solutions also include a Wi-Fi controller and the Panasonic Comfort Cloud app to create a smarter, more connected living environment with other Panasonic heating and air conditioning systems in the home.
The Panasonic Comfort Cloud app also includes an Energy Monitoring feature to help track energy consumption and costs by year, month and day, ensuring users are always on top of their hot water heating bills.
Users also have the flexibility to set heating start and end times and target temperatures up to twice per day, activate a holiday mode to disable water heating while travelling, or use the boost function to manually start the heating process at any time.
The new CO₂ hot water heat pump range is easy-to-install by a professional tradesperson. Each system combines either a 4.0kW or 6.0kW outdoor unit – manufactured by Panasonic in Japan – with eight tank combinations in 250L, 315L and 400L sizes. Tanks can be either vitreous enamel or stainless steel. With a sound output of only 37dB, the range is also one of the quietest on the market.
A trusted leader in heat pump innovation, Panasonic has been Japan's top performing brand in the category for more than 25 years, with over two million hot water heat pumps installed in Japan. Australians will now enjoy Panasonic’s high-quality range of CO₂ hot water heat pump solutions, designed in Japan and drawing upon decades of knowledge and sustainable technology in its market-leading heating and air conditioning systems.
“Heat pump solutions are becoming increasingly popular in the Australian market, delivering energy savings as a cost-effective alternative to gas and electric hot water heating,” Joe De Bella, Group Manager- Marketing & Engineering, HVAC Solutions at Panasonic Australia said.
“Panasonic’s new CO₂ hot water heat pump range represents a significant step forward for the Australian market. It sets a new benchmark for efficiency and sustainability in our solutions, and gives customers a durable, future-ready option backed by a global leader in the industry.”
Panasonic’s new CO₂ hot water heat pump solutions are backed by a 10-year parts and labour warranty, giving customers peace of mind. They are now available in Australia from Panasonic or hot water distribution partner Reclaim Energy. Heat Pump Hot Water Systems - Reclaim Energy
The Panasonic CO₂ heat pump qualifies for the nationwide Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme while state-based incentives are also on offer for households and small businesses, making reliable energy-efficient hot water even more affordable.
