Panasonic Joins the Scottish Federation of Housing Association (SFHA) as Sector Associate
17/11/2021
Panasonic is delighted to announce
that it is has become a Sector Associate of the Scottish Federation of Housing
Associations (SFHA) to assist the region in achieving its challenging targets
of lowering carbon emissions.
As part of this partnership, Panasonic will
share with the association its extensive R&D knowledge and experience of
low carbon heating solutions through training, seminars, webinars, spec design
and support services of its low carbon solutions such as air source heat pumps.
Darren Reis, Regional Manager for Panasonic in Scotland, has a
wealth of experience in the heating and cooling sector spanning 31 years, and
currently advises organisations
as diverse as installers, designers and distribution partners to network
suppliers and local government. Darren
welcomes this step and comments, “Panasonic as a
company is hugely passionate about the environment and I believe we can help
the region meet its low carbon targets through supporting and advising the
social housing providers and developers in the region. We look forward to
playing a full and active role with the SFHA.”
“Switching technologies from traditional
systems powered by Mains Gas, Oil or LPG to an Air Source Heat Pump such as the
Panasonic Aquarea Range, can deliver significant cost savings, improvements to
heating performance and low sound levels. With
heat pumps hitting the media headlines and following on from COP26, we have
recently a seen a huge increase in demand from both homeowners and installers for
more information and hands-on training centres. We are meeting this challenge
by opening a new dedicated training centre for installers in November 2021 in
Livingstone, plus there is a mobile training unit to ensure the more remote
parts of the region are covered. In addition, Panasonic is providing further
online virtual training, advice and support by offering a remote service via
their popular Smart Cloud and Service Cloud app. It is certainly a very busy time and we very
much look forward to working closely with the SHPA.”
Panasonic is currently working with several the social housing
providers across the region, including West Highland Housing Association in Oban
where approx. 80 Panasonic air source heat pumps have already been installed
this year with a further 60 being installed over the next six months.
The Panasonic Aquarea A2W Heat Pump range provides highly efficient
heating and hot water, whilst also providing homeowners with a reliable system
offering long-term energy savings. Ivor
Farnworth, Managing Director of Primrose Developments commented “We recently
looked into several systems but found the Panasonic Aquarea T-Cap heat pumps to
be very quiet compared to competitors, aesthetically pleasing and have been
impressed with the performance of the product.”
With a large region, with many remote
areas, a robust service and maintenance system is a must. The Panasonic Aquarea
Service Cloud provides a solution for HVAC professionals, service and
maintenance companies - it is a useful tool that provides advanced remote
service capabilities of multiple sites. For successful service and maintenance,
response time can be critical. With the help of the Aquarea Service Cloud, the
entire service parameters of the HVAC systems are available, in real-time,
showing any abnormalities, allowing issues to be identified and swiftly
resolved, often before the fault even occurs. This smart approach can also
reduce the number (and length) of site visits necessary by analysing the
behaviour of the Aquarea system remotely and allowing for the optimum
allocation of resources. Site owners can quickly and easily grant remote access
to authorised parties for maintenance, with a simple click of a button.
Darren concludes: “We are looking forward to meeting and to
informing people of how we can help by supporting communities and organisations
to develop and combat climate change.”
