Daikin air conditioning
Apex is an independent Daikin air conditioning installer based in Dartford. We supply, fit, service and repair Daikin heat-and-cool systems, from a single Stylish wall unit to multi-splits, ducted systems and VRV for offices, across Kent, south-east London and central London.
Why Daikin
Daikin is a Japanese maker and one of the largest air conditioning manufacturers in the world. Its range runs from compact bedroom wall units and design-led Emura and Stylish models to ducted, cassette and VRV systems for whole buildings, all heating as well as cooling.
Daikin ranges
Ranges we fit include these. Makers update their models often, so we recommend the current one that suits your room at the survey.
Compare by type: wall-mounted systems, floor-mounted systems, ducted systems, ceiling cassette systems.
Wall-mounted · Premium wall unit
Heating and cooling plus humidifying, dehumidifying, fresh-air ventilation and air purification in one unit.
Wall-mounted · Design wall unit
A slim, curved unit designed to look good on a living-room wall.
Wall-mounted · Compact design unit
Function and looks balanced in a compact unit, available in several finishes including a dark wood effect.
We fitted four Stylish units on two multi systems for one house in Benenden.
Wall-mounted · Commercial wall unit
A lightweight, flat-fronted wall unit often used with Daikin's commercial outdoor units.
Floor-mounted · Floor-standing
A compact floor-standing unit that fits under a window, for homes and offices.
Ducted · Concealed in the ceiling
Only 200mm tall, so it fits shallow ceiling voids. Just the grilles show in the room.
Ceiling cassette · Flush in the ceiling
Blows air out in all directions for an even temperature with no dead spots.
Ceiling cassette · Flush in the ceiling
Sits flush with a standard 600mm ceiling tile, so lights and sprinklers can go in the next tile.
Choosing a model
A well-equipped all-rounder for bedrooms and living rooms, with a floor-standing version for lofts and radiator spots.
Slim ducted units only 200mm tall, and Round Flow and Fully Flat cassettes for offices and open-plan rooms.
Daikin's systems for whole buildings, with many indoor units on shared outdoor units. We have designed, fitted and commissioned VRV for London businesses.
Most current Daikin wall units connect to the Onecta app for control from your phone. For ducted systems and offices, the Madoka wired controller has a simple round design and connects by Bluetooth. We have fitted Madoka controllers on a three-unit multi system in Sevenoaks, a ducted system in Benenden and mini VRV systems in Hoxton.
Commercial
Daikin's commercial range is one of its strengths. VRV systems run dozens of indoor units, each with its own control, from a few outdoor units, and they can heat one area while cooling another on some versions.
We have designed and fitted three Daikin VRV IV systems with 30 indoor units in total, and mini VRV systems in Hoxton, and we repair them too: on one VRV IV system we replaced a full circuit board after a rodent shorted the terminals, so staff could return on Monday. See commercial air conditioning for maintenance contracts.
Aftercare
Daikin's warranty depends on a yearly service, and Daikin says it can ask for proof. Owners register their system on Daikin's Stand By Me platform. We help you register, service the system every year and keep the record.
We also service and repair Daikin systems we did not fit, from deep cleaning a neglected wall unit to replacing the fan motor on an old Daikin ducted unit.

Questions
Yes. Daikin is a Japanese maker and one of the largest air conditioning manufacturers in the world, with a range that runs from small bedroom units to VRV for whole buildings. That said, the right unit depends more on the room, the look you want and your budget than on the badge. We often show options from more than one make.
Neither is better across the board. Both make quiet, efficient wall units on R32 refrigerant, with app control and design models. Daikin has the Emura and Stylish; Mitsubishi Electric has the Zen. Daikin's VRV range is strong for offices. We compare the current models for your room at the survey. See how the brands compare.
Daikin sets its own warranty terms. The length depends on the product, the installer's status with Daikin and registering the system on time, and every Daikin warranty depends on a yearly service. We tell you the exact warranty that applies to the model in your quote, in writing.
Yes. We service and repair Daikin units whoever fitted them, including wall units, cassettes, ducted units and VRV. Send us a photo of the unit's label so we know the model before we come. Our air conditioning servicing page explains what a service includes.
Onecta is Daikin's app for controlling compatible units over Wi-Fi. You can switch the system on before you get home, change modes and set schedules, and see energy use on supported models. We connect it and show you how it works before we leave.
