Manufacturer Profiles
The Brands We Install
No single brand is right for every home. These profiles reflect our engineers' honest, on-the-ground view of each manufacturer after years of installing and servicing all seven ranges across Valencia — not marketing copy from the brands themselves.
Daikin
Daikin invented the VRV multi-zone system and still sets the reliability benchmark most competitors are measured against. Its compressors are built in-house rather than bought in, which shows up as fewer breakdowns over a 10-15 year lifespan. Expect a higher purchase price than most of this list, balanced by the longest service life and strongest resale value.
Mitsubishi Electric
Mitsubishi Electric is prized for exceptionally quiet indoor units and precise temperature control, making it a favourite for bedrooms and light sleepers. Its Hyper-Heating range copes well even on the rare cold Valencia night, useful if the unit is doubling as a heat pump. Like Daikin, it sits at the premium end but rewards that spend with dependable, low-fuss operation.
LG
LG covers the widest span of any brand on this list, from simple fixed-speed splits to feature-rich Dualcool inverter models with strong WiFi and app control. It's a sensible middle-ground pick for households wanting smart features without premium-brand prices, and parts are easy to source in Spain.
Fujitsu
Fujitsu General is known for slim, unobtrusive indoor units that suit smaller rooms and older buildings with limited wall space. Reliability sits comfortably in the upper-mid tier, just behind the two Japanese premium brands, making it a popular choice on renovation projects.
Gree
Gree is the largest air conditioning manufacturer in the world by volume, and that scale keeps prices competitive without cutting corners on core cooling performance. It won't match Daikin or Mitsubishi Electric on refinement, but for straightforward cooling in a rental or spare room it performs reliably at a lower entry cost.
Panasonic
Panasonic pairs dependable cooling with its nanoe air purification feature, which appeals to households concerned about allergens or humidity. It sits mid-to-premium in price with a long history in the Spanish market, making it a well-rounded choice without stepping up to full premium pricing.
Haier
Haier has grown quickly from a budget option into a genuinely competitive value brand, backed by improving build quality and increasingly generous manufacturer warranties. It's the brand we recommend most often to landlords and Airbnb hosts who need dependable cooling across several units without premium-brand spend.

Pricing
What Affects the Price, Brand Included
Brand is only one line in the final price — usually a smaller one than expected. Same-capacity systems from different manufacturers often sit within a few hundred euros of each other; the bigger swings come from the factors below.
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Brand tier | Premium brands (Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric) add roughly 10-20% over value brands (Gree, Haier) at the same capacity. |
| Unit capacity (BTU/kW) | Larger rooms need higher-output units, which cost more regardless of brand. |
| Number of indoor units | A multi-split system with 2-4 indoor units starts from €1,800, well below fitting several single splits separately. |
| System type | A full ducted system starts from €4,500, against €650-950 for a single split pair. |
| Installation complexity | Longer pipe runs and difficult access add labour time on top of the unit price. |

FAQ
Brand Questions We Hear Most
Straight answers about choosing between Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, LG, Fujitsu, Gree, Panasonic and Haier.
For most Valencia apartments, Daikin or Mitsubishi Electric offer the best balance of quiet operation and long-term reliability, though LG and Fujitsu are strong mid-range alternatives if budget matters more than premium refinement.
Mitsubishi Electric is generally the quietest of the seven brands we install, with indoor units engineered for low noise and precise temperature control, which is why it's a common choice for bedrooms and light sleepers.
Yes. Gree and Haier are established global manufacturers whose current ranges perform reliably for everyday cooling; they simply sit at a lower price point than premium Japanese brands and include fewer smart-home extras.
No. Every brand Square Meter installs, from Daikin to Haier, is covered by the same 2-year written workmanship warranty in addition to that manufacturer's own product warranty.
You can request a specific brand at any time. Square Meter's engineers will also suggest two or three suitable options during the free assessment based on your room size, budget and priorities, but the final choice is always yours.
Brand typically changes the final price by only a few hundred euros at the same capacity, since unit capacity, pipe run length and installation complexity usually affect the total quote more than the manufacturer name.
Yes. Square Meter sources every unit through official Spanish distributors and registers the manufacturer's warranty in your name at commissioning, so there is no risk of an unsupported grey-import unit.
Yes, all seven brands we currently install (Daikin, Mitsubishi Electric, LG, Fujitsu, Gree, Panasonic and Haier) use R32 refrigerant as standard across their current ranges.
