Explore the full range of Panasonic ERV solutions and latest ventilation technologies delivering efficiency, comfort, and compliance for Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration (HVACR) professionals

ORLANDO, Fla., Feb. 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- This year at AHR 2025, Panasonic will display its widest selection of ERV models and configurations, including the first public exhibition of its newest BalancedHome ERV series. Showcasing technology and solutions that build on the concept of "Efficiency, Comfort and Compliance – All in One," Panasonic's interactive display (Booth #6161) will demonstrate how top-tier performance and energy efficiency define its approach to better indoor air quality.

"As the industry continues innovating to meet demand for better energy efficiency while also enhancing indoor air quality in our living spaces, solutions like the BalancedHome series demonstrate why Panasonic's technology is leading the way" said Leon Van Oostende, Group Sales Manager Panasonic Eco Systems. "We're excited to introduce HVACR professionals to solutions that are the backbone of an effective ventilation strategy, delivering cleaner indoor air and more comfortable living spaces for their end customers."

Built for high-performance balanced ventilation, the BalancedHome ERV delivers outstanding energy efficiency and versatility, all at a cost-effective price point. The BalancedHome series offers extensive flexibility with eight models across four maximum cubic feet per minute (CFM) ranges. It includes units designed to accommodate both top and side port configurations, providing customizable installation options for achieving cleaner indoor air quality. Equipped with Panasonic's state-of-the-art SmartFlow™ technology, each new ERV is designed to perform as rated, with Elite Plus models earning an 82 percent sensible recovery efficiency (SRE) rating. Each unit adjusts automatically to static pressure to provide balanced ventilation to improve indoor air quality in a cost-efficient manner and compatibility for all climate zones. 

Building on its long-standing commitment to advancing home solutions centered on sustainability, Panasonic will also display the next generation WhisperGreen® Select family of premium exhaust fans. Featuring a higher efficiency DC motor and designer lighting, each fan offers several features that provide greater flexibility and customization options for industry professionals and occupants including new cutting-edge Dual Sensor Technology, a Plug n Play Wi-Fi module and ENERGY STAR® certification.

In 2024, Panasonic was recognized for its ventilation excellence, earning awards as the 2024 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year winner for Sustained Excellence and Green Builder Media's 2024 Sustainable Brand Leader in the ventilation category, while the WhisperGreen Select was recognized as "Best for Large Bathrooms" by U.S. News & World Report on its list of Best Bathroom Exhaust Fans of 2024.
