Bringing New Trends Daikin Quality Residential Air Conditioning Helat Daikin Proshop Designer Award 2022

Being in a tropical climate makes the existence of an air conditioning unit (AC) as a room conditioner as if it cannot be separated from housing in Indonesia. In his choice, the type of split wall AC which is easily recognizable from the indoor unit attached to the wall by connecting to an outdoor unit is still the main choice.

This choice is not only dominated by residential areas with limited electrical power or first-time AC users. Even residences with large dimensions and even more modern still choose this type of air conditioner.

This condition cannot be separated from the need for air conditioning in Indonesia which is still limited to its main function which is to cool the room. Even though as the name implies, air conditioning is actually part of a device that was created to form an ideal air conditioning ecosystem for residential users.

Like an ecosystem that connects several parts in a circle, the variety of AC is actually very wide. Likewise, its function is not only concerned with cooling. More than that, it is also designed to provide comfortable and quality air in the room by maintaining the humidity of the room and air filters and appearance by paying attention to aesthetic factors that can blend perfectly with the overall interior design of the room.
