We fit LG, Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Samsung, Toshiba, Fujitsu, Panasonic and Midea across the West Midlands. LG is our top pick for most homes — but the right brand depends on your room, your budget and what matters to you. Here's the honest rundown of each, with real fitted prices.
The brand we fit most. Quietest-in-class 19 dB indoor units, the best-looking range (Artcool), 10-year compressor warranty, and usually £150–£400 cheaper per room than Mitsubishi or Daikin.

Mitsubishi Electric is the brand most experienced UK installers reach for when they want zero call-backs. The MSZ-AP wall range is quiet, efficient and famously long-lived — we still service units we fitted over a decade ago that run like new.
The world's biggest AC brand — engineering first
Daikin only makes air conditioning and heat pumps — no TVs, no phones. That single-mindedness shows: the Perfera and Stylish ranges are among the most efficient units you can buy, and the flash-streamer air purification is a genuine plus for hay-fever households.
WindFree cooling — no cold draughts
Samsung's party trick is WindFree: once the room hits temperature, the unit pushes air through thousands of micro-holes so you feel cooling without a draught. For bedrooms where someone hates 'air blowing on me', it's a genuinely clever solution.
Invented the inverter — quietly excellent
Toshiba invented inverter air conditioning in 1981 and still makes some of the most efficient compressors in the world. The brand flies under the radar in the UK, which means premium-Japanese engineering at mid-range prices.
The workhorse — dependable, no drama
Fujitsu doesn't chase headlines. It makes honest, dependable units at fair prices, and it's been a favourite of UK commercial installers for decades — which tells you something about reliability under daily hammering.
nanoe-X air purification built in
Panasonic's differentiator is nanoe-X — an active air-purification system built into the indoor unit that targets bacteria, viruses, pollen and odours. For households with asthma, allergies or pets, it's the most complete air-quality package in a domestic split.
The budget-smart choice — big-brand factory, small-brand price
Midea is the largest air-conditioning manufacturer in the world by volume — they build units for other brands you've heard of. Their own-label range gives you modern inverter tech, Wi-Fi control and decent efficiency at the lowest fitted prices we offer.
LG — best blend of quiet, looks, warranty and price.
Mitsubishi Electric — the lowest failure rate in the industry.
Panasonic nanoe-X or Daikin flash streamer.
Samsung WindFree — draught-free bedroom cooling.
Midea — proper fixed AC at the lowest fitted price.
Fujitsu or Midea — dependable and simple for tenants.
