2. Standard Inverter (single and three phase)
One step down from the premium range is Daikin’s Standard Inverter ducted air series. Our favourite thing about this range is that the indoor units are more compact than conventional units, which means that they are ideal for installation in tight roof spaces and small nooks.

We love the simple low-profile design, the quiet operation, and the dual temperature sensors.
