A genuine ARC AIR installation completed in Esher using Daikin indoor and outdoor equipment.
A bespoke piece of English oak was made so the indoor unit could be mounted in keeping with the surrounding oak frame.
The water butt provides a practical way to retain condensate for suitable outdoor plants rather than discharging it directly to waste.
