- Disconnect Box & Electrical Whip Kit - The Disconnect Box & Whip Kit provides a safe and simple way to connect your outdoor condenser to your fuse box.
- Connecting Wire - This durable, insulated wire provides power to your indoor unit from your outdoor condenser.
- Base Pan Heater - The base pan heater prevents ice from building up on the outdoor unit. Excessive ice build will lead to performance issues and could damage your unit.

Panasonic Heating and Cooling E18RKUA Reviews & Ratings

Perfect!!

Review Posted 07/31/2018
Like all Panasonic products… great quality at a fair price.
I bought this for my parents day/sun room last year and they absolutely love it. Replaced a loud thru-wall unit that couldn't do the job. This new unit runs quiet, cools fast, and efficient on electricity which gives the central air a break.
Solid feeling and easy to read remote (no crackling plastic sound).
High build quality means no rattling during operation (I hate the cheap brands that do).

After a month of research I finally decide to go with these Panasonic and I'm glad I did and I save money along the way comparing to the Mitsubishi, these thing is super quiet and the house feels pretty good. Hoping for the best from heat pump. Kevin from In line Mechanical did a great job.
