Panasonic Heating and Air Conditioning possesses more than 30 years of experience as a global leader in the production of innovative HVAC solutions, and continues to advance the industry by bringing high quality, efficient products to the market. As the first VRF manufacturer to offer simultaneous cooling and heating products, Panasonic’s current offerings include a wide range of heating and air conditioning solutions, including Heat Recovery VRF Systems, Heat Pump VRF Systems, Mini VRF Systems, and VRF Controls for commercial applications.
