When London temperatures climb, modern top-floor living spaces and townhouses often struggle with heat build-up. For this residential homeowner in London, the challenge was clear: achieve whisper-quiet, rapid cooling and efficient year-round heating without installing an unsightly, industrial-looking appliance. The solution was the award-winning Toshiba Haori system, installed by the specialist team at Warm & Cool London.

The Challenge: Modern Aesthetics Meets London Climate Demands
London architecture presents unique installation considerations. From conservation areas and tight roof terraces to contemporary interior designs, homeowners need cooling solutions that complement their living space. In this property, standard white plastic units would clash with the sophisticated, architectural colour palette of the room.
The client required an ultra-efficient climate control system capable of providing rapid cooling during heatwaves and low-carbon heating throughout the winter months, while preserving the clean lines of their home.
The Solution: Toshiba Haori Multi-Climate Control
Warm & Cool London specified and installed the designer Toshiba Haori system. Known for its innovative fabric-wrapped cover, the Haori is tailored for discerning homeowners who view climate control as an integral part of interior design.
Operating with low-GWP R32 refrigerant, the Haori delivers impressive seasonal efficiency (SEER/SCOP) with intuitive smart app controls. This allows the homeowner to schedule temperatures down to the exact degree from anywhere.
The custom dark textile finish matches the minimalist interior wall shelving, turning what is traditionally a utilitarian appliance into an intentional design feature.
Every component is built for quiet refinement. The smooth contours and fabric casing absorb minor acoustic vibrations, contributing to whisper-quiet performance inside living areas and bedrooms.
Integrated air purification filters also capture airborne particulate matter, maintaining fresh, clean indoor air circulation throughout the year.
Precision Engineering on the Roof Terrace
A flawless air conditioning installation relies on meticulous outdoor execution. Our certified F-Gas engineers situated the outdoor condenser unit on the customer’s roof terrace, implementing strict property protection measures throughout the build.
To preserve the timber decking and surrounding finishes, the team used heavy-duty protective sheeting and weather shields during all pipework connections, pressure testing, and evacuation procedures.
The installation was completed efficiently with zero disruption to the household or surrounding residential neighbours.
The outdoor unit was securely mounted on heavy-duty antivibration rubber feet, eliminating any risk of structural sound transfer into the rooms below.
All refrigeration line-sets and electrical feeds were neatly routed and contained in UV-stabilised trunking along the exterior brickwork.
Positioned close to the ceiling line, the indoor unit ensures uniform 3D air distribution across the entire room without direct cold draughts onto seated areas.
The Outcome: Uncompromising Comfort and Style
The finished installation delivers rapid climate control while maintaining a quiet, peaceful home environment. Operating as low as 19 dB(A), the indoor unit is barely audible, making it ideal for sleeping, relaxing, or working from home.
