The Daikin Difference

Introducing Daikin.
And what makes our systems better.

Hello there. Researching the latest in cooling and heating systems? Then you’d probably like to know a few things about Daikin.

We’re the second-largest maker of cooling and heating systems in the world, employing almost 40,000 smart, hardworking people all over the world. We developed Japan’s first packaged air conditioner in 1951 and have been responsible for many industry innovations. We were the first manufacturer in the world to introduce a multi-split duct-free system and, later, a split system that can control room humidity and provide air purification. Our latest innovation is the world’s first air-to-water hydronic system for space and domestic hot water heating.

Whew! Even our abbreviated history is a mouthful. Now that we have our bona fides out of the way, here’s what you should know about our systems.

We think of everything, and make it all.

Daikin is the only company that makes every major component used in its systems, which allows us to optimize every element. We also devote more resources to research and development than any of our competitors. As a result, our systems are on the leading edge of what is being done today in intelligent heating and cooling systems.

Room-by-room temperature control.

Daikin Smart Cooling and Heating Systems have intelligent control technologies that allow you to designate different temperatures for different spaces in advance or on the fly. This approach provides more comfort at a lower operational cost than conventional systems.

Perfectly acclimated air — all the time.

We offer a range of systems designed to meet different needs. After all, what you may think is comfortable may not be the same as your teenage daughter or even your prized labradoodle.

A Daikin Smart Cooling and Heating System can provide comfort in a single room or a whole home. Every system has our Daikin Constant ComfortTM inverter technology (which is super cool…no pun intended) that maintains each room’s desired temperature by making slight adjustments to the speed of the outside compressor based on information from the inside components. Our systems don’t constantly stop and start to regulate the temperature like conventional systems. This helps lower indoor humidity levels, keeping you cool as a cucumber on hot days and warm and toasty on cold days. Perfect air – all the time.

More energy efficient.

We have a wider variety of Energy Star qualified products than anyone else. At the heart of each of our systems is an air-source heat pump that needs less electricity to cool and heat because it pulls energy from the air. Although it may seem counterintuitive, uninterrupted operation also lowers your energy costs—just as your car is more efficient on the highway than it is in stop-and-go city traffic. These factors alone make a Daikin system up to 30% more energy efficient than a conventional non-inverter system. You can save even more by using the room-by-room temperature control to eliminate overcooling and overheating.

Quiet, worry-free operation.

You’ll never be awakened at night by one of our systems “kicking on” because with Daikin Constant ComfortTM inverter technology it’s already quietly running in the background. Our systems rarely operate  at full speed because most of the time they only need to leisurely cruise along to keep you comfortable. At low speed our indoor units are quieter than a library, and our outdoor units seem almost silent compared to conventional non-inverter air conditioners. That’s because they have an advanced compressor with fewer moving parts, resulting in less friction and vibration. Millions of Daikin systems all over the world have been up and running for nearly 20 years.
