3.5 kWDaikin Lite 3.5kW Split System
The 3.5kW Daikin Lite Split System (model FTXF35WVMA) is sized for large bedrooms and smaller living rooms. As a guide, it cools a room of up to about 25 to 29 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. If the space is bigger, has high ceilings or strong afternoon sun, step up to the 4.6kW.
Part of the Daikin Lite 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 3.5 kW options, see every 3.5kW split system ranked by running cost, or ask about supply and installation.
About $247 a year at the current Sydney median electricity rate: $93 of cooling plus $154 of heating, from the official GEMS test figures.
The Daikin Lite 3.5kW uses 281 kWh per year for cooling and 465 kWh per year for heating under standard test conditions for Sydney's climate zone. These figures are from the Government Energy Rating Label (GEMS) registration data. The system carries a 3.5-star cooling efficiency rating and 2.5-star heating efficiency rating under the same zoned label system.
The unit's rated cooling efficiency (AEER) is 3.83 and heating efficiency (ACOP) is 4.28. It uses R32 refrigerant. Your actual running costs will depend on how often you run the system and your local electricity rate.
