The New Inn Pub in Warwickshire, a community-owned pub dating back to 1750, needed a new approach to heating and cooling to create a welcoming and pleasant environment for its customers. Panasonic Etherea air conditioning units with nanoe X were recommended as the ideal solution by installer Oli Thorndale of Thorndale Heating & Cooling.
The residents of the small village in Norton Lindsey, Warwickshire, purchased the pub in 2016, to maintain its key role as the social hub of the village. The villagers clubbed together to raise the £400,000 needed to purchase the property and now 220 shareholders and a steering committee manage the New Inn Pub.
Through his relationship with air conditioning distributor, Oceanair, village resident Oli Thorndale of Thorndale Heating & Cooling, had already installed Panasonic nanoe X Etherea units in his property and was very pleased with the unit’s performance. Oli proposed a similar solution to the steering committee for the pub, which was quickly approved. Installation of wall-mounted Etherea air conditioner with nanoe X built-in as standard now provides not only energy-efficient heating and cooling but can also inhibit the growth of certain bacteria and viruses. Tony Bourne, a member of the steering committee remarked, “It was nanoe X and the benefits it brings that was the clinching factor to install Panasonic”.
“The Pub is a major hub for the local community, so very important to ensure that its accessible and a pleasant place for everyone. The space is now much cosier and warmer with the new Panasonic units making a significant difference. We have also seen an increase in more of the local residents coming back to the pub, as they feel much more confident now that the nanoe X technology is installed.”
