8 kWPanasonic Multi 8kW Multi-Split System
Four rooms with more headroom: 8.0 kW rated cooling (2.3 to 9.2 kW range, 9.4 kW heating) and a generous 14.7 kW of connectable capacity, so larger heads fit without downsizing the rest.
Part of the Panasonic Multi-Split range, Panasonic's multi-split system line, in 5 sizes. Running costs below use the Sydney median rate; the Eastern Suburbs and Western Sydney pages cost systems on their own network tariffs. Check the size against your rooms, compare it with other 8 kW options, or ask about supply and installation.
About $479 a year at the current Sydney median electricity rate: $178 of cooling plus $301 of heating, from the official GEMS test figures.
The Panasonic Multi 8kW is rated 3.5 stars for cooling and 3 stars for heating under the Sydney climate zone standard. Based on official GEMS test data, the system uses 617 kWh annually for cooling and 1043 kWh for heating. These figures reflect typical usage patterns in Sydney and help determine your actual running costs when multiplied by the current local electricity rate.
The system delivers an AEER (cooling efficiency) of 4.00 and an ACOP (heating efficiency) of 4.59. It uses R32 refrigerant. Your actual energy consumption and running costs will depend on how often you run the system, the temperatures you set, and local conditions.
