Why should I consider choosing a Daikin air conditioner?
Daikin air conditioners are a reliable brand that has been helping Australians get quality climate control in their homes for 50 years. They have a wide range of products and models, all designed to withstand harsh Australian summers. Here are some other reasons to consider a Daikin system:
Better air quality
Daikin air conditioning offer superior air quality, which is particularly important in today’s environment. Experts have discovered that often our air quality is poorer inside than out. Many of Daikin’s products contain streamer technology, which is an active air purification system to improve air quality, and reduce your exposure to dust, pollen, bacteria and allergy-causing moulds.
Comfort mode
Daikin air conditioners also offer a highly effective comfort mode to reduce drafts in the room. Comfort mode means that when the unit is set to cooling, the air flow is directed upwards so that it doesn’t blow directly on you. When the air conditioner is in heating mode, the air will flow downwards so that the room can be heated from the bottom up.
Powerful mode
Daikin’s powerful mode is also a winning factor in its units. Powerful mode gives your air conditioner a powerful short-term boost, either quickly warming up or cooling down a room. This is particularly useful in the summer or on our cold winter mornings.
Temperature limit
Another feature that makes Daikin’s air conditioning so popular is its high temperature limit. While many air conditioners can only deliver cooling at up to 35 C, Daikin can still perform at temperatures as high as 54 C. This makes them particularly well suited for homes and offices in sunny Western Australia.
Daikin air conditioner installation
Before you enjoy your new Daikin air conditioner, it needs to be installed correctly. Different systems require different installation methods, and it’s a good idea to have a professional assess your home beforehand to determine the right system for you. Luckily, Mouritz has a team of HVAC technicians who are well-versed in Daikin systems. We know the importance of properly installing your system. Incorrect installations may lead to breakdowns, malfunctions, or expensive repairs later down the line. What’s more, wall mounted systems that have been improperly installed could fall and cause damage to your home or even injury. That’s why it’s best to call the experts. The Mouritz team will carefully install your Daikin air conditioner system right the first time, ensuring you get hassle-free heating and cooling all year long.
What type of Daikin air conditioner would suit me?
Once you’ve decided that you would like to opt for a reliable manufacturer such as Daikin, you need to decide what type of air conditioning system would suit you. Daikin offers both split systems and ducted air conditioning; we will talk you through the advantages and disadvantages of both.
Split system Daikin
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.
Advantages
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.
Considerations
When deciding whether a split system is right for you, it’s important to consider your space. Bear in mind that your home will need space outside for the outside unit.
You might also want to consider aesthetics. Split system air conditioners will be visible on the walls inside your home. Once you’ve decided that this option is for you, you’ll then need to work out where best to place those units, and if you want every room to have one.
Daikin ducted air conditioning
Ducted air conditioning works by being integrated into the structure of a building when it is installed. This helps these air conditioning units to be more discreet and avoid creating clutter indoors. Daikin’s ducted air conditioning range is all equipped with reverse cycle capabilities, so they can heat different rooms as well as cool them.
Advantages
Ducted air conditioning is a great choice if you want powerful air con with discrete units that won’t intrude on your home. Daikin ducted air conditioners have reverse cycle capabilities so you can heat or cool your home all year round. Ducted air conditioning also allows you the ability to heat or cool your entire house, as well as creating zones, so that you can set the temperature in each individual room.
Considerations
It can be more expensive to install ducted air conditioning, due to the need to go into the roof space and the technical difficulties involved in the job. The installation itself is likely to take longer. If you’re able to make a long term investment, ducted air conditioning may be the right choice for you.

What is the lifespan of a Daikin air conditioner?
One of the many advantages of a Daikin air conditioner is that they are built to last. Daikin is renowned for making quality products that can last at least 15 years, if they are looked after properly. As with all household items, the lifespan of your Daikin will depend on how well it’s maintained and looked after, as well as how much heavy usage it endures.
Daikin products come with a 5-year guarantee on parts and labour, which prolong their working life.
How can I prolong the lifespan of my Daikin?
Regularly cleaning and servicing your Daikin is the best way to keep it working better for longer. Pay particular attention to the filters, which can be washed with lukewarm water. You should also take care of the air con’s exterior, keeping it clean and free of dust.
Investing in regular servicing is a really effective way to maximise your air conditioner’s usage without having to pay for costly repairs.
How much do Daikin air conditioners cost?
Daikin air conditioner costs vary depending on the kind of system you purchase. Split system air conditioners are typically cheaper, as they only involve one indoor and outdoor unit (unless you choose multiple indoor units). Ducted air conditioners, which are installed throughout the entire house, tend to be more expensive.
The cost of running your system may also be factored into the overall price. Some models may be more energy efficient than others, which could make a difference during summer months. There are also installation, maintenance, and repair costs to include.
However, if you choose a reliable installer and servicer like Mouritz, you may be less likely to face expensive repairs or services in the future. Daikin air conditioners also come with a 5-year parts and labour warranty. This applies to both residential and commercial units. Included in the warranty is after-sales service and having spare parts available.
Is it a good brand?
Daikin has a reputation for being one of the most reliable, effective air conditioning brands out there. In 2024, it was awarded Australia’s most reliable air conditioner at the Finder Retail Awards. Customers who buy Daikin products report they are satisfied with overall performance, value for money and its ease of use.
Are there any disadvantages?
The only disadvantages to a Daikin come if it’s improperly installed. Luckily, Mouritz is extremely experienced in working with Daikins and will ensure that we install it correctly the first time. We can also service your Daikin air conditioner and are also experienced with Daikin air conditioner repair if there are any issues.
Daikin is one of the more expensive manufacturers on the market, so cost may be a consideration. If a Daikin air conditioner is within your budget, you won’t be disappointed.
