Choose a Model with Excellent Energy-saving Performance and Air Purification Functions

NX Series

The NX Series are high-end models among Panasonic’s packaged air conditioners with IoT functionality.
Combining superior energy-saving performance with air purification functionality, this series is undoubtedly the perfect choice for those who want to improve air quality while reducing operating costs.

Of Course, Durability Is Also Important

Due to the characteristics of air conditioners, which consist of an outdoor unit and an indoor unit, there are many external factors that can lead to malfunctions. In particular, since the outdoor unit is installed outdoors, it must be protected from various external factors. Therefore, choose an air conditioner equipped with a function to prevent problems that hinder trouble-free operation before they occur.

Is the Outdoor Unit Chosen with Installation in Mind?

Ideally, outdoor units should be able to be installed on rooftops, on the ground, or in other locations that are easily accessible, as they will need to be maintained or parts replaced after installation. If the outdoor unit is too large, if the length of the pipe connecting it to the indoor unit is limited, or if it cannot be placed where you want to place it, you will have problems later.

Example of Poor Installation

You see this sometimes around town. Poor installation is not only unsightly, but can also result in extra costs for maintenance and repair/replacement.
