The Panasonic Etherea series represents the flagship solution in the Panasonic residential range for those looking for an air conditioner capable of guaranteeing high energy efficiency, maximum living comfort and superior air quality.
Designed to deliver class-leading performance, Etherea integrates Panasonic’s most advanced technologies, including the new nanoe™ X Mark 3 purification system, intelligent control via integrated Wi-Fi and optimised energy management thanks to AI ECO mode. The result is an air conditioner capable of cooling and heating rooms efficiently all year round, while helping to keep the air cleaner and healthier.
Elegant design and premium finishes
Panasonic Etherea has been designed to integrate harmoniously into modern home environments thanks to a refined and minimal design.
The elegant and contemporary line is available in three different finishes:
- Matte white
- Silver
- Graphite gray
This variety of colors allows the air conditioner to easily adapt to any decor style, from classic to modern. Beyond aesthetics, Panasonic has optimized the structure of the indoor unit to simplify installation and maintenance, making Etherea a practical solution for installers as well.
nanoe™ X Mark 3 technology: cleaner air 24/7
One of the distinctive elements of the Etherea series is the nanoe™ X Mark 3 air purification system, the most advanced available in the Panasonic residential range. The Mark 3 generator releases up to 48 trillion hydroxyl radicals per second , approximately 100 times more than traditional nanoe™ technology. This technology is suitable for allergy sufferers, those with heightened sensitivity, or simply for those who want to live in healthy and sanitized environments.
These particles act both in the air and on surfaces contributing to:
- inhibit bacteria and viruses;
- combat mold and allergens;
- reduce pollen;
- neutralize persistent odors;
- improve indoor air quality throughout the day.
nanoe™ X technology can operate in both cooling and heating modes, as well as in standalone mode, continuing to treat the air even when the air conditioner is not cooling the room. Panasonic also highlights that the Mark 3 generator allows for a significantly faster pollen inhibition rate than previous generations.
nanoe™ X technology has been tested by independent laboratories and has VDI 6022 certifications, recognized in the HVAC industry for hygiene requirements and indoor air quality.
TECHNOLOGY, COMFORT AND ENERGY SAVING
The new Panasonic Etherea 2026 represents the evolution of the already popular Etherea series, maintaining its high energy efficiency, premium design, and the comfort guaranteed by Aerowings technology. The main new features include the new nanoe™ X Mark 3 air purification system, even more advanced and effective, the completely updated Comfort Cloud ecosystem, and intelligent energy management through AI Eco functions and new advanced connectivity features.
Etherea integrates an On-Demand Internal Cleaning function that uses nanoe™ X technology to dry and clean the indoor unit after operation. This function helps keep internal components cleaner and maintain the appliance's performance over time.
Panasonic further states that:
FUNCTIONS:
Aerowings 2.0: To ensure uniform comfort throughout the room, Etherea uses Aerowings 2.0 technology. The system uses two independent vanes that allow for precise control of the direction of the airflow. The benefits include: faster air distribution; more uniform temperature throughout the room; reduced drafts directed towards people; greater comfort in both summer and winter; Shower-effect cooling: during summer operation, Etherea can activate Shower Cooling mode. In this mode, the airflow is directed towards the ceiling and then gently diffused throughout the room, avoiding the discomfort of cold drafts directed towards the body; Underfloor heating effect: in winter, Etherea uses special airflow management that concentrates warm air downwards. This system generates a pleasant underfloor heating effect , improving perceived comfort and better distributing heat in the normally coldest areas of the room; AI ECO mode continuously analyses room conditions and automatically optimises the air conditioner's operation. The system learns the room conditions and adjusts the power to find the best balance between comfort and energy savings. According to Panasonic, this function can reduce consumption by up to 20% in cooling mode. Further details on the functions can be found in the user manual provided.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY:
BMS Integration : Ready for integration into BMS (Building Management System) , the Panasonic TZ can be connected to centralized building management platforms, enabling coordinated monitoring and control of air conditioning systems alongside other technological systems. An ideal solution for offices, commercial businesses, hospitality facilities, and professional applications; S-Link Integration: Thanks to compatibility with the Panasonic S-Link system, the air conditioner can be integrated into centralized control networks, facilitating the supervision and management of multiple units within the same building. This feature is particularly appreciated in advanced residential projects and professional applications; R22/R410A Renewal: R22/R410A Renewal technology allows, where system conditions permit, the reuse of existing piping when replacing old air conditioners. This advantage can reduce installation times, masonry work, and the costs of building a new system.
Panasonic Etherea has been designed to ensure extremely discreet operation. In the 2.0, 2.5 and 3.5 kW models the noise level can be as low as 19 dB(A) . a value particularly suitable for bedrooms, studies and environments where maximum quiet is required.
Integrated Wi-Fi and smart management
All Etherea models come with a remote control and built-in Wi-Fi as standard. Using the Panasonic Comfort Cloud app, you can: turn the air conditioner on and off remotely; change temperatures and operating modes; activate the nanoe™ X function; control multiple air conditioners simultaneously; create custom schedules; monitor energy consumption and estimated costs; and manage advanced weekly timers. Connection setup has been further simplified thanks to QR code pairing.
Panasonic Etherea can also be controlled via voice commands thanks to its compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, allowing for perfect integration into your smart home.
ACCESSORIES INCLUDED AS STANDARD
- Remote control
- Built-in WiFi
- Nanoe X Technology
WARRANTY
The warranty is the official Panasonic Italy one and lasts 2 years with an extension on the compressor to 5 years.
THE EXTERNAL UNIT
Panasonic aims to achieve extremely high efficiency with the best energy classes up to A+++ for both cooling and heating.
The outdoor unit is the true beating heart of the air conditioner; it is environmentally friendly thanks to the use of low GWP R32 gas and, thanks to inverter technology and the heat pump , always offers operating power suited to real needs of the moment, both in summer for cooling and in winter for heating.
HIGH PERFORMANCE AND LOW CONSUMPTION
The external unit of the Panasonic Etherea air conditioner always provides power proportionate to the actual air conditioning needs of the room in which its internal unit is located.
Their strength is flexibility, as these inverter air conditioners are so flexible that they can vary the compressor's rotation speed; this allows for significant energy savings, as less electricity is used to maintain the set temperature and air-conditions the room more quickly upon start-up. They are equipped with an R2 rotary compressor that uses rotary piston technology: tested under extreme conditions, it offers greater efficiency and high performance. Panasonic is the world's leading manufacturer of rotary compressors and residential units, having produced over 200 million units.
Thanks to the Inverter system, the unit is able to implement correct power modulation resulting in high energy savings, excellent performance and particular attention to the environment . It guarantees the achievement of the highest energy classes and minimizes waste . This also ensures minimal vibrations and noise, placing it among the quietest outdoor units on the market .
Particularly resistant to bad weather and atmospheric agents, this outdoor unit can be fixed both in a suspended position and placed on the floor thanks to the supports purchased separately.
WARRANTY
