Why it's our most popular: Matt's personal recommendation: built-in Wi-Fi and nanoe™ X air purification as standard, at a sharper price than the equivalent Daikin.
Who the Panasonic Z 2.5kW is for
The 2.5kW Z brings the full flagship kit to a bedroom: built-in Wi-Fi, nanoe™ X purification running around the clock, and AEROWINGS louvres that spread the air instead of dumping it on the bed. For allergy-prone sleepers, the always-on purification is the quiet hero.
Sized right, 2.5kW comfortably covers around 17 m² in Perth conditions — small bedroom, study. Every Z has a Quiet mode that drops fan speed and noise for bedrooms and night running. If you're between sizes, we'll tell you straight at the quote which way to go — an undersized unit runs flat-out and wears early, an oversized one short-cycles.
The Z series is Panasonic's premium wall split and our most-recommended unit for living areas: built-in Wi-Fi as standard, nanoe™ X air purification running 24/7, and AEROWINGS twin-louvre airflow that showers the room evenly instead of blasting one spot. Panasonic is our top pick as a brand — premium quality on par with Daikin, at a sharper price thanks to our supplier relationship.

What $2,000 includes
The from-price is a standard back-to-back install — indoor and outdoor unit on opposite sides of the same wall — and it includes the whole job, not a stripped-down teaser:
- The indoor head and outdoor unit, mounted, levelled, and secured
- Up to 3 metres of insulated refrigerant pipework in neat trunking
- Electrical connection to a suitable existing circuit, with an isolating switch at the outdoor unit
- Condensate drain run to ground level
- Standard outdoor mounting (blocks at ground level, or a wall bracket where specified)
- Vacuum, pressure test, and refrigerant charge to the manufacturer's spec
- Full run test, commissioning, remote demo, and the compliance paperwork
What lifts a quote above the from-price: long pipe runs, two-storey or high mounting, tricky access. The full breakdown is in our Perth split system cost guide, or get a number for your wall with the cost calculator.

Other Panasonic Z sizes
Panasonic Z 2.5kW — common questions
How much does the Panasonic Z 2.5kW cost installed in Perth?
From $2,000 inc GST, supply and installed as a standard back-to-back install. That covers the unit, mounting, up to 3 metres of pipework, the electrical connection and isolator, and full commissioning. Longer pipe runs, height access or switchboard work lift the price — you get an exact fixed quote free before any work starts.
What size room does the Panasonic Z 2.5kW suit?
As a Perth rule of thumb, 2.5kW of cooling comfortably handles a room of around 17 m² — small bedroom, study. Ceiling height, insulation, and big west-facing windows shift the answer, which is why we always confirm sizing at the quote.
Can the Panasonic Z 2.5kW run off an existing circuit?
Often, yes — at 2.5kW it can usually share a suitable existing circuit if it's compliant and has capacity, which keeps the install cost down. We check your switchboard as part of the free quote and tell you either way before any work starts.
What warranty does the Panasonic Z 2.5kW come with?
Panasonic 5-year parts and compressor warranty, plus our own workmanship warranty on the installation. Installation by an ARC-licensed tech and a licensed electrician — the same team, on the same job — protects your manufacturer warranty; an unlicensed install is the usual reason a claim gets knocked back.
