7.1 kWDaikin Cora 7.1kW Split System
The 7.1kW Daikin Cora Split System (model FTXV71WVMA) is sized for open-plan living and dining areas. As a guide, it cools a room of up to about 51 to 59 m². That is from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' sizing chart for an insulated room: the larger figure if it faces north, the smaller if it faces east. Western sun, poor insulation and high ceilings bring it down. It is the largest capacity in the Daikin Cora Split System range. For a smaller, well-insulated room the 6kW will do the job for less power draw.
Part of the Daikin Cora Split System range, Daikin's split system line, in 7 sizes. Running costs below use the Sydney median rate; the Eastern Suburbs and Western Sydney pages cost systems on their own network tariffs. Check the size against your rooms, compare it with other 7.1 kW options, see every 7kW split system ranked by running cost, or ask about supply and installation.
About $514 a year at the current Sydney median electricity rate: $191 of cooling plus $323 of heating, from the official GEMS test figures.
The Daikin Cora 7.1kW uses 602 kWh per year for cooling and 1015 kWh per year for heating under standard test conditions in Sydney's climate zone. These figures come from official GEMS energy registration data and represent the system's energy consumption under controlled conditions. Your actual running costs depend on how often you run the unit and your local electricity rate.
The Daikin Cora 7.1kW carries a 3-star cooling efficiency rating and 2.5-star heating efficiency rating on the Sydney zoned energy label. It has a rated cooling efficiency (AEER) of 3.62 and heating efficiency (ACOP) of 4.18. The system uses R32 refrigerant.

Daikin Cora 7.1kW: your questions
How much does a 7.1kW split system cost installed?
The unit is only part of the cost. Installed price depends on whether it is a straightforward back to back installation or needs longer pipe runs, wall brackets or a condenser slab, plus any electrical work at the switchboard. You get a fixed price in writing before any work starts. Photos of the wall, the outdoor spot and your switchboard help us price the job, and if it needs a look first, we book a site visit.
What size room does a 7.1kW air conditioner suit?
A 7.1kW split system cools a room of up to about 51 to 59 square metres as a guide. That is from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' sizing chart for an insulated room: the larger figure if it faces north, the smaller if it faces east. Strong afternoon sun, high ceilings or big glass areas push you toward the next size up, and oversizing wastes money on short cycling. The capacity calculator sizes your room in under a minute, and we confirm before we quote.
How much does the Daikin Cora 7.1kW cost to run?
Official government test figures for Sydney's climate zone put the Daikin Cora 7.1kW at 602 kWh a year for cooling and 1,015 kWh for heating. The running cost figures on this page turn that into dollars at the Sydney median electricity rate, refreshed monthly. Your bill depends on your tariff and how much you run it.
Is the Daikin Cora 7.1kW reverse cycle?
Yes. The registered model (FTXV71WVMA / RXV71WVMA) heats and cools, so one system covers Sydney summers and winters. Its official heating figures are in the energy section on this page.
