What is a High Wall Heat Pump Unit?

High wall heat pumps are the most common system for New Zealand homes.

 

They’re mounted high on the wall & deliver both heating & cooling, quietly & efficiently: perfect for bedrooms, living spaces, & open-plan areas.

 

Thanks to Panasonic’s inverter technology & modern design, today’s high wall units are whisper-quiet, low-cost to run, & quick to install.

High Wall Heat Pumps for Bedrooms & Small Rooms

Quiet, compact, & efficient; these compact-capacity units are ideal for personal spaces where comfort & low noise really matter.

  • Compact Power (2.5-3.0 kW)

    Perfect for: Small bedrooms, home offices, nurseries

     

    Compact Panasonic high wall units run extremely quietly, as low as 21dB (quieter than a whisper). Small but powerful, they maintain steady, dry warmth through the night without disturbing sleep. Energy-efficient & quick to install.

  • Compact Power Plus (3.0-3.5 kW)

    Perfect for: Larger bedrooms, kids' rooms, or small dens


    A step up in capacity, these units suit slightly bigger spaces that need fast, even heating. Still extremely quiet & efficient, it’s a great choice for upstairs bedrooms or chill-prone rooms that get little sun.

High Wall Heat Pumps for Living Rooms & Mid-Size Spaces

Designed for shared spaces where fast, even heating is a must, without making a song & dance about it.

  • Versatile Capacity (3.5 kW)

    Perfect for: Small lounges, dining areas, or open bedrooms

     

    One of the most versatile options for mid-size rooms. It balances power and quiet operation with Panasonic's intelligent efficiency features and optional air purification technology.

  • Versatile Capacity Plus (4.0-4.5 kW)

    Perfect for: Family lounges, open-plan kitchen/living areas


    Ideal for central living spaces that need consistent warmth. These units provide extra output for busy family areas while still running quietly and efficiently during extended use. 

High Wall Heat Pumps for Large Rooms & Open-Plan Areas

High-capacity performance for bigger homes, open-plan designs, & hard-to-heat zones.

  • High Output (5.0 kW)

    Perfect for: Open-plan living/dining, modern extensions, high ceilings

     

    Powerful, reliable systems built to handle larger footprints. Great for homes where warmth needs to travel further, especially in modern layouts or homes with tall windows & poor insulation. Despite the output, these units remain impressively quiet.

  • High Output Plus (6.0 kW)

    Perfect for: Big lounges, home offices with high ceilings, or cold-prone areas


    Provides a noticeable jump in heating and cooling performance while maintaining strong energy efficiency. A great solution for newer builds or larger homes that require that extra output. 

  • Large Space Capacity (7.0 kW)

    Perfect for: Large homes, rental properties, shared spaces


    A popular option for open-plan Kiwi homes. Designed for fast, even heating and strong coverage throughout the day. Many units in this capacity range include Panasonic’s nanoe™ X air purification. 

  • Maximum Performance (8.0-9.5 kW)

    Perfect for: Oversized rooms, multi-zone spaces, or light commercial


    Top-tier capacity for domestic installs. Ideal for homes with expansive open-plan layouts, high ceilings, or hard-to-heat areas. Also works well in light commercial settings where reliable heating and cooling is essential.

Smart comfort for modern homes

Panasonic’s high wall heat pumps are designed to do more than just heat & cool. With health-conscious features, ultra-quiet operation, & flexible installation options, they offer comfort that works for real homes & real life.

nanoe™ X: Purified air, all day long


Everyday air contains more than just dust. Pollens, mould spores, bacteria, viruses, pet dander & odours all contribute to indoor discomfort, especially for kids, allergy sufferers, or those with asthma.

 

That’s where Panasonic’s nanoe™ X comes in. This technology releases trillions of hydroxyl radicals into the air, which seek out & break down harmful particles on surfaces & in the air. It helps to:

  • Inhibit up to 99% of airborne bacteria & viruses
  • Neutralise odours from pets, cooking, & smoke
  • Reduce mould & allergens
  • Freshen the air continuously, even when the unit isn’t heating or cooling

 

nanoe™ X is built into many of Panasonic’s high wall units & works 24/7 in the background, supporting a cleaner, healthier home.

Whisper-quiet comfort for better sleep

With indoor noise levels as low as 18dB, Panasonic’s Z Series high wall units are some of the quietest on the market: ideal for bedrooms, nurseries, or home offices.

And in the warmer months, they can help kids settle more easily at night.
Try running the unit on cooling mode before bedtime, then switching it off once the room is comfortably cool. It’s a simple, energy-efficient way to help little ones sleep better without needing to run the system overnight.
 
Discreet heating & cooling, wherever you need it
High wall units are perfect for modern homes; especially where ceiling space is limited or you want heating in just one or two areas. Their slim profile & flexible positioning options mean they can fit easily above windows, doors, or storage, keeping walls clear & sightlines open.
 
They’re fast to install, easy to maintain, & ideal for targeting warmth exactly where it’s needed, whether that’s a lounge, a bedroom, or a sunny home office.
