UK: Panasonic continues to expand its propane heat pump portfolio with the addition of Bi-Bloc units to its Aquarea L Series, providing heating, DHW and cooling as required.

To enhance performance and user experience, the latest units come with a host of standard connection options such as buffer tank control, secondary heating pump, 3-way or 2-way valve control, room thermostat, boiler connection (hybrid), and Panasonic wi-fi control of the heat pump remotely. 

With the heat pump, there is the capability to fit an upgrade board alongside many more added options, including two zone control, PV integration, and swimming pool pump control.
