4.6 kWDaikin Lite 4.6kW Split System
The 4.6kW Daikin Lite Split System (model FTXF46WVMA) is sized for living rooms and master suites. As a guide, it cools a room of up to about 33 to 39 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 5kW.
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 4.6 kW options, or ask about supply and installation.
About $330 a year at the current Sydney median electricity rate: $132 of cooling plus $198 of heating, from the official GEMS test figures.
The Daikin Lite 4.6kW uses 398 kWh per year for cooling and 597 kWh per year for heating based on official GEMS testing for Sydney's climate zone. These figures reflect typical annual operation and allow you to calculate running costs using your electricity rate. The system carries a 3-star energy rating for cooling and 2.5 stars for heating under the zoned labelling scheme for Sydney.
Efficiency is measured by AEER (cooling) and ACOP (heating) ratings, where higher numbers indicate better performance. The Daikin Lite 4.6kW delivers an AEER of 3.57 and ACOP of 3.74. The system uses R32 refrigerant. Your actual energy consumption will vary depending on usage patterns, climate conditions and how you operate the unit.
