Quick answer: Panasonic Malaysia's pages, checked on 1 October 2026, list two kinds of Panasonic floor standing aircon: a Fresh Series Ceiling and Console stood upright, and four VRF floor-standing types. These are console and perimeter units rather than tall cabinets, so send a rating-plate photo on WhatsApp and Aircon Hero confirms whether it can take the job.

Which Panasonic floor standing aircon models does Panasonic Malaysia list?

Panasonic Malaysia lists the R32 Non-Inverter Fresh Series Ceiling and Console, a single split packaged unit whose page lists "vertical installation (as floor standing)", plus four floor-standing indoor types on its VRF/Mini VRF range: P1, P2, R1 Concealed and R2 Concealed.

Series Rated capacity Detail from Panasonic's page
Fresh Series Ceiling and Console (R32) 18,000–60,000 Btu/h 235 mm thick; 36,000 Btu/h and up three phase
P1 Type Floor Standing 2.2–7.1 kW Wired controller fits into the unit
P2 Type Floor Standing 2.2–7.1 kW Compact design for perimeter cooling
R1 Type Concealed 2.2–7.1 kW 229 mm deep
R2 Type Concealed 2.2–7.1 kW 200 mm deep

Shops mix "floor standing" and "floor mounted" for the same unit; see how a floor console differs from a floor-standing unit.

How do you tell which Panasonic unit is in your room?

The rating plate on the indoor unit settles it. An R32 Fresh Series Ceiling and Console indoor unit carries a model number between S-18PTB1H5B and S-60PTB1H5B on Panasonic Malaysia's list, paired with its own outdoor unit; a VRF unit shares its outdoor system.

A plate that matches neither may be another version or an older model; its model number is still what a technician asks for first.

What should you know if your Panasonic unit is on a VRF system?

A Panasonic P-type or R-type floor-standing unit runs on a VRF system, where one outdoor system serves several indoor units. Find out which indoor units share it and who controls the system, because a fault in the shared system or its power supply can stop them all at once.

If several stop together, report them in one message with any controller codes, rather than booking a visit for each.

What should a tenant check on a Panasonic unit that came with a shop lease?

A tenant taking over a shoplot with a Panasonic floor-standing unit should settle two things before trading starts: who owns the unit, and who pays for its servicing and repairs. Get both answers from the landlord in writing before the handover is signed.

Run the unit before opening day with stock clear of the grille. If it runs but never cools, work through the floor-standing not-cold checks first. For a takeover log, see the upkeep guide for shops, eateries and surau; a shop with several units can book commercial aircond maintenance.

What should you do when a Panasonic floor-standing unit leaks or trips the power?

Switch a leaking or tripping Panasonic floor-standing unit off. If water has reached a socket or a plug feels hot, switch off at the DB or main switch if it is safe to reach, and do not touch the plug. Do not keep resetting a breaker that trips again.

A leak usually means a blocked drain or a dirty coil; a trip, an electrical fault. On a new unit, report any drip to the installer. Before opening any cover, switch the unit off and switch off at the isolator. Faults are technician work, described on the general aircon repair page; Aircon Hero quotes repairs after diagnosis, and the customer approves the quote before work starts.

Send the rating-plate photo first

WhatsApp a rating-plate photo with the brand and model, and Aircon Hero confirms whether it can take the job; a tall cabinet unit goes to the floor-standing aircon service. For a unit leaking now, call +60 18-355 5162. Comparing brands? See the Midea floor standing aircon guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Aircon Hero is an independent aircond service company, not an authorised Panasonic service centre. Aircon Hero services all major brands including Daikin, Panasonic, Mitsubishi, Samsung, LG, Midea, Acson, York and Carrier; whether that covers a console or VRF unit is confirmed per job.

Yes. Panasonic Malaysia's page for the R32 Fresh Series Ceiling and Console lists "vertical installation (as floor standing)", so one model can hang from a ceiling or stand upright. Moving an installed unit between positions is a relocation job, quoted after inspection.

Panasonic Malaysia's floor-standing page calls the P1 unit "an ideal solution for providing perimeter air conditioning". These units sit along the edge of a room, usually an outside wall or glass frontage, and cool from there.

Panasonic Malaysia's floor-standing pages link to a download area where, in Panasonic's words, "you can download marketing materials, manuals, CAD data, etc." Search it with the model number from the rating plate, and keep any paper manual beside the controller.

It is a floor-standing indoor unit built to be hidden along a room's perimeter, behind cabinetry or a wall panel. Panasonic Malaysia lists the R1 type at 229 mm deep and the R2 at 200 mm. Servicing needs access, so keep its cover removable.

Panasonic Malaysia's floor-standing pages show no unit price; a new unit's price is set by whoever sells it. Ask for the indoor and outdoor model numbers in writing, to check against the rating plates later.
