Panasonic Adaptive Ducted Unit(MSP) featuring flexible installation, quiet comfort and superior air quality with nanoeX technology. #adaptiveducted #nanoe #nxseries
Finally got it up and running. The only delays we had was because we realized we needed some extra parts (I’ll list that below) ru-vid.comUgkxihMYiJNXcHdbH-7ihymsLz61l7jVyb5O . So we have a loft where our current hvac just couldn’t seem to keep cool during the summer. We have been using a window unit since we bought this house over 6 years ago (all the houses in this neighborhood were built in the 80’s and majority of the houses built like ours use a window unit). I hate window units because they are just so noisy and the one we had really only cools one side of the loft. I had contemplated upgrading our current HVAC, but with all the rising prices these days, it would take years before saving up enough to do that. With the advice of my father-in-law (used to run an HVAC business), he recommended we get an inverter instead. We thought we bought everything we needed, but there were just a few other parts we didn’t anticipate needing (which is what caused most of our delay). My friend and father-in-law did all the work to get it installed and running and now we have nice cool air circulating nicely throughout the entire loft. It is very quiet and even the outside unit is much quieter than our main HVAC unit. Saved ourselves thousands getting this.
Its about time someone like Panasonic came out with innovative products. The existing rudimentary ones are a money pit designed to make you spend money every year on maintenance.
I don’t think it is really a good selling point that they reduced the weight of a low to mid static unit when they already don’t weigh very much. It makes me think they are using cheaper thinner metal. But I could be wrong.
Our 2014 Panasonic ducted system installed in 2015 has been used intermittently in summer only which equates to around 3 - 4yrs usage total. This unit has been repaired 5 times in that period mostly from loss of gas due to incorrect copper pipe flanging and a faulty regas connector valve leaking. At $160/kg and a capacity of 3.5kg , having it regassed 3x in the first 5 yrs has been expensive enough - not a product failure but more an installation error- but now the main outdoor pcb control board has died for no apparent reason, no black marks or swollen components, it just died probably due to onboard component failure. The cost of a replacement board? Try $1380.00 !! This is outrageous in the extreme especially considering it is obviously NOT a quality board. Needless to say we will never recommend or buy Panasonic products again in our lifetime, the quality just isn’t there with this brand anymore. Panasonic have recently returned some domestic AC production to Japan from China but its too late for us sitting here in sweltering heat and 85% humidity with no AC yet again, we seriously regret the day we chose Panasonic and handed over our $12000.00 for their GARBAGE.
