5 kWDaikin Alira X 5kW Split System
The 5kW Daikin Alira X Split System is sized for living rooms and master suites. As a guide, it cools a room of up to about 36 to 43 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 sits in the upper half of the Daikin Alira X Split System range. If the space is bigger, has high ceilings or strong afternoon sun, step up to the 6kW.
Part of the Daikin Alira X 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 5 kW options, see every 5kW split system ranked by running cost, or ask about supply and installation.
About $311 a year at the current Sydney median electricity rate: $105 of cooling plus $206 of heating, from the official GEMS test figures.
