Daikin air conditioning to cool your soul

If you're in the market for an air conditioner, Daikin air conditioning systems are high-quality products, but they don't come cheap!

If you're looking into ways to keep your home cool over the next few months, investing in a Daikin air-conditioner might be a good first step, given the quality of the systems available from the brand.

"Daikin air conditioners are for people who like to buy the best," says Jenny Marsh from AirCon Direct. "Their units really are excellent; Daikin make some of the best products on the market. Fujitsu are our biggest seller, though – for the average customer the price of Daikin air-conditioners is a bit high."

Daikin split system air conditioners

Daikin's core products are split-system air-conditioners and ducted systems. Daikin split systems are great for cooling a single room. They come in reverse-cycle or cooling-only varieties, with a range of powers to suit spaces of different sizes. An inverter model is also available, which uses less power and keeps the temperature more or less level.

Daikin multi-split systems can cool a number of rooms in the house, but only require one outdoor unit. These systems allow control of the temperature in individual rooms, which saves energy and keeps cooling costs down.

The Super Multi Daikin air conditioning system can cool four rooms, while the Super Multi Plus system can cool up to nine. Like the single split systems, they are available in reverse-cycle or cooling-only models and can be wall mounted, duct connected or floor/ceiling suspended.

Installation of air conditioners

Ducted Daikin air conditioners can be installed in either new or existing homes. The unit is usually located in the ceiling or under the floor, with a compressor outside, and air is distributed through vents located throughout the house.

These ducted Daikin models can be configured to operate in two or more zones for individual temperature control. A Daikin initiative called I-text also allows you to control your ducted air-conditioning from your mobile phone.

Daikin prices

As Daikin air conditioning systems are of a higher quality, they can be a little more expensive than other brands but if quality is more important to you than price, a Daikin air-conditioner might be a good investment.
