Atlantic, a leader in heating and cooling solutions, has introduced its latest innovation: the Takao Plus, a wall-mounted air-to-air heat pump. Designed for high efficiency and low noise, the unit also features smartphone-based controls. It’s scheduled to hit the market in mid-November 2025.

A+++ Efficiency for Year-Round Comfort
Heat pumps are becoming mainstream across France, especially in areas once known for milder climates. According to Atlantic’s market data, heat pump installations could reach 23% of households by 2030, up from 17.7% currently. Wall-mounted units dominate installations, accounting for 96% of setups. Atlantic has focused its design to meet French homeowners’ needs—balancing energy savings, aesthetic appeal, and noise control.
Engineered for Cold and Heat
Takao Plus is rated A+++ for both heating and cooling, the highest energy classification under EU standards. Tests conducted by Atlantic in 2023 show it can reduce energy use by up to 40% compared to older models. This performance can help homeowners improve their DPE rating—boosting property value and rental appeal. Notably, the unit functions effectively even at -20°C, making it suitable for colder climates as well.
Eco-Friendly Refrigerant and Enhanced Durability
The system uses R32 refrigerant, which offers lower global warming potential than previous gases like R410A. Key components are also reinforced for longevity:
- Tropicalised circuit boards to withstand humidity
- Blue Fin coating on the heat exchanger for corrosion resistance
- Epoxy-painted casing for added protection in coastal and damp regions
Whisper-Quiet Operation
Takao Plus operates at noise levels as low as 19 dB(A) in select modes—comparable to a quiet library or rustling leaves. This makes it an ideal choice for apartments and shared-wall housing, where low noise is essential for neighbourly living.
Sleek Look Meets Smart Control
The unit is available in matte white or matte black finishes, crafted to blend with modern interiors. The included Good Design Award-winning remote feels more like a high-end electronic device than a traditional HVAC controller. Additionally, users can manage the system via Atlantic’s Cozytouch app on their phones or tablets.
Smart Modes Available
- Night Mode: Quieter, reduced output for sleep time
- Eco Mode: Prioritizes energy savings for daily use
- Full Power: Quickly heats or cools your space
- Silent Mode: Minimizes noise for sensitive hours
Intelligent Airflow and Sensors
The system includes Coanda airflow technology that spreads air gently along surfaces for even distribution. A presence sensor detects empty rooms and adjusts output to save energy automatically, adding a layer of smart efficiency.
Flexible Setup for Any Home
Initially offered as a monosplit setup (one indoor, one outdoor unit), Takao Plus is also compatible with multi-split systems. Installers can mix and match with other indoor units from Atlantic, including:
- Ducted systems
- Ceiling units
- Floor consoles
- Cassette systems
This flexibility allows Takao Plus to be installed in heritage buildings, complex layouts, or rooms where wall units aren’t preferred.
Support and Simplified Range
Atlantic is working to make its product lines easier to navigate, with clear capacity indicators and technical tools to help installers choose the right system faster. The company’s commitment to support is highlighted by its “On est là” service promise, which focuses on reliable technical assistance and after-sales service.
