Panasonic INTERIOS Central Heat Pump
Heat and cool your home through its ductwork with a Panasonic inverter heat pump and matching air handler. Compare the standard and cold-climate models below, or ask Home Trade Standards for an installation quote in Toronto and the GTA.
Will INTERIOS work with my ductwork?
INTERIOS pairs an outdoor air-source heat pump with an indoor air handler. The multi-position air handler can supply air up, down or horizontally. Its variable-speed blower adjusts airflow as duct pressure changes.
For a Toronto condo or townhouse, start with the outdoor-unit location, building approval and the ductwork serving your home. If your suite heat pump connects to a shared building water loop, explore water-source replacement options.
