Daikin
FDXM35F9 + RXM35R Ducted
The Daikin FDXM35F9 is a slim, concealed ducted indoor unit paired with the RXM35R R32 outdoor unit, hiding entirely above the ceiling so only discreet supply and return grilles show. At 3.4 kW it suits a single room or a small zoned area where invisible, even air distribution matters more than peak efficiency.

Installation & the rules that apply
This is a single split. This is where regulation bites. Breaking into the refrigerant circuit must be done by an F-gas certified installer (in the EU and UK), and single-split systems may use refrigerant indefinitely only if its GWP is under 750 (R32 qualifies). DIY voids the warranty, home insurance and is an offence. The outdoor unit alters the facade, so a prior declaration to the town hall (e.g. France), planning permission, or freeholder, landlord and condominium consent is commonly needed, plus heritage rules in protected zones and minimum-distance and noise rules toward neighbours.
