Panasonic takes heat pumps on the road

UK: Panasonic is taking a mobile training unit around the UK and Ireland over the coming months to raise awareness of its Aquarea heat pumps.

This new, eye-catching and fully kitted-out van will be used to demonstrate and raise awareness of Panasonic’s Aquarea heat pumps for both residential and commercial use. Technical experts will be available to provide in-depth technical knowledge for both building professionals, interested homeowners and the wider supply chain.

Following its recent partnership agreement, visitors will also be able to experience how the Panasonic Aquarea kit integrates with the Wiser home heating system to create a fully smart solution.

“The new Panasonic Product Van provides an opportunity for us to talk directly with customers to educate and show working models to showcase and to help demystify some of the myths to help consumers and installers to more fully understand the technology and the benefits of heat pumps,” said Panasonic UK head of marketing Richard Bishop. 

The Panasonic Van is already booked out for visits in September and October. To find out more about the mobile training unit, dates and venues of its visits, or to book the unit for a training session, email: UK-aircon@eu.panasonic.com or call 0808 2082115.
