7.1 kWDaikin Cora 7.1kW Split System
The 7.1kW Daikin Cora Split System (model FTKM71WVMA) is sized for open-plan living and dining areas. As a guide it suits a typical insulated room of roughly 47 to 57m²; sun exposure and ceiling height move that band. 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.
The Daikin Cora 7.1kW is rated 3 stars for cooling efficiency under the Australian government's GEMS scheme, tested for Sydney's climate zone. Based on official testing, the system uses 590 kWh per year for cooling in typical Sydney conditions. Its rated AEER of 3.49 indicates the cooling output relative to energy input under standard test conditions.
Your actual running costs depend on how often you use the system and your local electricity rate. The 590 kWh annual figure provides a reliable basis to estimate what this model will cost to operate in Sydney conditions. 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. We give fixed quotes by phone or email, and photos of the wall, the outdoor spot and your switchboard get you the sharpest number.
What size room does a 7.1kW air conditioner suit?
A 7.1kW split system suits roughly 46 to 57 square metres in a typical insulated room. 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 590 kWh a year for cooling, which works out to about $205 a year at the current Sydney median electricity rate. Your bill depends on your tariff and usage, but these are the registered figures, not estimates we made up.
Is the Daikin Cora 7.1kW reverse cycle?
The FTKM71WVMA we list here is registered as a cooling only model. If you want heating as well, the same range has reverse cycle equivalents and we will quote the right variant for your home, just mention heating when you ask for a quote.
