The Panasonic CU-2Z41CBE is a 2-connection Free Multi Z outdoor condensing unit, the entry point into Panasonic's multi-split range for smaller properties needing just two independently controlled rooms from a single external condenser. It uses the R32 refrigerant and an inverter-driven rotary compressor to deliver efficient, room-by-room heating and cooling.
Rated at 4.1kW nominal cooling and 4.6kW nominal heating, the CU-2Z41CBE supports a combined indoor capacity range of 3.2kW to 6.0kW, and reaches a class-leading SEER of 9.10 (A+++), making it a compact, efficient choice for apartments and smaller homes.
Important: F-Gas Qualified Installation Required
This unit is charged with R32, a fluorinated greenhouse gas covered by F-Gas Regulations. Installation, commissioning, and any refrigerant handling must be carried out by an F-Gas certified engineer. See the certification form above before ordering.
Please Note: Both Indoor Units Must Be Connected
Unlike the larger Free Multi Z outdoor units, the CU-2Z41CBE has only 2 connections and both must be used — it is not designed to run with a single indoor unit fitted. The combined nominal cooling capacity of both connected indoor units must fall within the 3.2kW–6.0kW connectable range.
Good to Know: Class-Leading A+++ SEER Efficiency
Achieves an SEER of 9.10 (A+++) and an SCOP of 4.80 (A++) — among the highest efficiency ratings in Panasonic's entire domestic Free Multi Z range.
Two Independent Zones From One Compact Outdoor Unit
A single outdoor unit drives two rooms with individual temperature control on each, avoiding the need for two separate condensers on smaller properties.
Inverter-Driven Rotary Compressor
The inverter compressor modulates output to match real-time demand across both connected rooms rather than cycling on and off, which improves comfort, reduces electricity use, and lowers operating noise.
Class-Leading A+++ SEER Efficiency
Achieves an SEER rating of 9.10 (A+++), among the highest in Panasonic's current domestic multi-split range.
Compact, Space-Saving Footprint
At 619mm (H) x 824mm (W) x 299mm (D) and 37kg, the CU-2Z41CBE is one of the smallest and lightest units in the Free Multi Z line-up, easing installation on balconies and tight outdoor spaces.
R32 Refrigerant for Lower Environmental Impact
R32 has a lower global warming potential than the R410A refrigerant it replaces, while also improving system efficiency — helping the unit meet current and future F-Gas phase-down requirements.
Wide Heating Operating Range
Rated to operate in heating mode down to -15°C outdoor ambient, making it a genuine year-round heat pump solution for UK winters, not just a summer air conditioning unit.

How many indoor units can I connect to the CU-2Z41CBE?
The CU-2Z41CBE has 2 connections, and both must be used — it is not designed to run with only one indoor unit fitted.
What indoor unit types are compatible with this outdoor unit?
The CU-2Z41CBE supports Panasonic's Etherea wall-mounted and TZ super-compact wall-mounted indoor units, allowing two rooms to each use the indoor style that best suits the space.
Does this outdoor unit need an F-Gas certified installer?
Yes. The unit is charged with R32 refrigerant, which falls under F-Gas Regulations. Installation and any refrigerant work must be carried out by an installer holding valid F-Gas certification, which we verify before shipment.
What is the maximum total indoor capacity I can connect?
The combined nominal cooling capacity of both connected indoor units must fall between 3.2kW and 6.0kW. Exceeding this range is not supported by the manufacturer.
How efficient is the CU-2Z41CBE?
It achieves an SEER of 9.10 (A+++) and an SCOP of 4.80 (A++), among the highest efficiency ratings anywhere in Panasonic's domestic Free Multi Z range.
Can this unit provide heating in cold UK winters?
Yes. The CU-2Z41CBE is rated to operate in heating mode down to -15°C outdoor ambient temperature, making it suitable as a genuine year-round heat pump rather than a cooling-only summer unit.
