Daikin Split System Air Conditioning

Should I get a Daikin split system air conditioner?

Daikin split system air conditioning is designed to heat or cool specific rooms. Unlike ducted air conditioning, which provides climate control throughout the entire house, split systems focus on small homes or single rooms. This allows for efficient and affordable heating and cooling. Daikin split system air conditioners work by using refrigerant to absorb heat from indoor air, before releasing it through an outdoor unit. The need for both an indoor and outdoor unit is what gives split systems their name. Split systems are known for their energy efficiency and quiet running. If you’re after a system that keeps the bills and noise down, split systems are the go for you. You also get the option of multi split, which allows multiple indoor units to connect to one outdoor unit. With multi split, you can heat and cool several rooms, setting each at a different temperature if desired. However, if you live in a large house with lots of rooms, Daikin ducted air conditioning might be a more suitable option for you. If you’re unsure about what system to get, Mouritz’s experienced technicians can perform a home assessment and chat to you about air conditioning options.

Daikin split system air conditioner models

Mouritz supplies a number of Daikin split system air conditioning models. Their products are sold in over 140 countries and have been providing quality climate control for over 50 years. When choosing a split system, there are several factors such as size, energy consumption, and special features to consider. Daikin offers a range of single room and multi split systems to suit your individual heating and cooling requirements.

Alira X

Daikin’s Alira X split system air conditioner uses Streamer Technology to remove odours, viruses, and other allergens from the air.

The Alira X also comes with improved motor functions and the available capacities span from 2.2kW to 7.1kW. 

Zena

The Zena split system air conditioner from Daikin comes in a White Hair Line or Black Wood finish. Equipped with energy efficient R32 refrigerant, this system is ready to tackle the Australian summer. Daikin’s Zena also comes with Intelligent Eye technology, or infrared sensor, which detects when a room is unoccupied for more than 20 minutes. This allows it to activate energy saving operations to minimise power wastage. What’s more, the advanced filter traps tiny particles, breaks down unwanted odours, and fights bacteria. Zena’s compact design blends seamlessly into bedrooms and living areas, providing equal parts style and function. Choose from a capacity range starting at 2.5kW, all the way up to 6.0kW. 

Cora

Daikin’s Cora series is all about quiet confidence. Whisper-quiet, modern, and energy-efficient, Cora features smooth contours and simple design, offering reliable comfort all year round. Capacity ranges from 2.0kW to 7.1kW, using R32 refrigerant for that extra level of energy efficiency. For a boost of hot or cold air, utilise the Powerful Operation button which allows extra heating and cooling power for 20 minutes even if your system is working at high capacity. This model also boasts a redesigned heat exchanger which improves performance and capacity output. Finally, the precision control feature can set your room temperature in increments of 0.5°C, ensuring you experience the optimal cooling experience.

XL Series

The XL Series split system air conditioners from Daikin feature a large capacity, 3-D airflow, and Intelligent Eye technology. Enjoy powerful airflow, best suited to open-plan living or large rooms. This series comes in two ranges–the regular XL, or the XL Premium, which is more energy efficient. Its 3-D airflow feature allows a combination of horizontal and vertical swinging to effectively distribute air in large rooms. The XL range also comes with Comfortable Mode, adjusting the air delivery angle to avoid blowing hot or cold air directly onto your body. The backlit wireless remote includes controls such as econo mode, program dry function, and operation timers.

Lite System

Daikin’s Lite split systems are available in the regular and Multi Lite models. Featuring cutting edge technology and a modern design, the Lite system is ideal for small homes. This series comes with an energy performance star rating of 4.5 for the 2.5kW model, for both heating and cooling. The noise level can also drop to 19dBA with the 25 Class Model. If you’re looking for a split system which melts effortlessly into your living space, the Lite range could be your solution. Its backlit wireless controller includes precision control, quiet mode, and intelligent airflow.

Floor Standing

Floor standing split systems sit close to the ground, instead of near the ceiling like a wall mounted system. Daikin’s floor standing units have capacities ranging from 2.5kW up to 7.1kw. They sport a range of attractive features such as air purification, auto fan speed, and even air distribution. The system can automatically switch between heating and cooling, ensuring your home is comfortable year in and year out. It also comes with a Hot Start function which prevents irritating cold draughts. Advanced filtration technology collects harmful dust particles and cleans the air. If you’re worried about how a floor system will look, you can even have it recessed into the wall or installed in an empty fireplace. 

Multi split

Multi split systems allow multiple indoor units to connect to one outdoor unit. This is essential if you want to use a split system to heat or cool more than one room. You can control indoor units separately, allowing different temperatures in each room. Daikin’s multi split range features the VRV IV-S and Super Multi NX models. The VRV IV-S model heats and cools up to 14 rooms, with a compact outdoor unit ideal for small properties with restricted outside space. The Super Multi X employs temperature control in up to five rooms and uses R32 refrigerant to ensure maximum energy efficiency.
