Choosing the right air-conditioning system can be overwhelming, especially for non-technical users. With the opening of its new Daikin Solution Center in Quezon City, Daikin Philippines aims to help Filipinos better understand, experience, and apply advanced air solutions in real-world settings.
“This center is not a place for direct purchase but a consultation space. We provide a proposal that best matches each customer’s needs,” said Daikin Philippines director Hirohide Kinugawa, explaining that the facility allows customers to see, feel, and experience different applications of Daikin products.
Designed for a wide range of visitors—including homeowners, architects, contractors, designers, students, and even job applicants—the Solution Center showcases simulated environments like hospitals, offices, and homes, complete with integrated control systems and actual installations.
“Most of the time, customers ask us: How does this product work? Where will it be installed? How will it look? So we created simulations to help them see, touch, and experience it. It’s the easiest way to understand air-conditioning,” said Arianne Lamug, division sales manager of Daikin Philippines
Wesley Chu, Daikin Philippines’ deputy division manager, added that the brand wants people to go beyond just knowing the product.
“We want them to experience it firsthand, especially for end users and non-technical persons who don’t know how to use it or what it’s used for. With our showroom, you can have a perfect idea of what you want for your projects or houses,” Chu told Manila Standard Life.
The center also reflects Daikin’s efforts to raise industry standards and support local growth. According to another representative, one of Daikin’s best practices is continuously updating the skills of its installer and business network.
“We help partners enhance their technical expertise, service quality, and business capabilities. This commitment not only strengthens our network but also empowers skilled workers and promotes sustainable practices,” said Daikin Philippines president Takayoshi Miki.
Among the key technologies featured is the VRV system and its integration with smart controls—solutions that have had a strong impact on the local market. The Amihan Series, an affordable unit made specifically for the Philippine climate, is also on display.
“We called this the Daikin Amihan Series—an affordable luxury air conditioner for our Filipino people. If you want to feel the coolness of Amihan, it’s here and accessible,” Lamug explained.
Tours can be scheduled through Daikin’s website, which also features a virtual showroom currently in development.
