In short

Daikin is a market-leading air conditioning brand known for high efficiency, very quiet running and long warranties. Through manufacturer accreditation, we can register extended Daikin warranty cover on installs across Surrey. Costs range from around £1,500 for a single split to £7,000 for multi-split systems.

Why choose Daikin?

Daikin pioneered much of the modern air conditioning we use today, including the inverter technology that lets a system ramp gently up and down rather than switching hard on and off. In practice that means lower running costs, steadier temperatures and quieter operation than older fixed-speed units.

Daikin units routinely achieve high seasonal efficiency (SCOP) ratings, and the popular wall-mounted ranges are among the quietest on the market, which matters in bedrooms and living spaces. Every Daikin air conditioner is a reverse-cycle air-to-air heat pump, so the same unit heats efficiently in winter and cools in summer.

Warranties and accredited installation

Daikin offers extended manufacturer warranties, but these are only available when the system is installed by an accredited Daikin installer and registered with Daikin after commissioning. We handle that registration for you as part of the job.

Correct installation also protects efficiency and reliability: proper pipework, pressure testing, an F-Gas-compliant commission and the right unit sizing all matter. We are F-Gas/REFCOM registered, which is a legal requirement for any refrigerant work in the UK.

Daikin vs Mitsubishi Electric

Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric are the two market leaders, and honestly you cannot go far wrong with either. Daikin tends to edge ahead on its range breadth, app/controls ecosystem and headline efficiency figures, while Mitsubishi Electric is often chosen for exceptionally quiet bedroom installs and robust build quality.

In most Surrey homes the deciding factors are unit availability, the look of the indoor unit and the specific room, rather than one brand being clearly better. We install and service both, so our recommendation is based on your rooms and budget, not on pushing a single brand.
