8 kWSamsung AI Smart AIRISE WindFree 8kW Split System
The 8kW Samsung AI Smart AIRISE WindFree (model AR30BXECNWKNSA) is sized for open-plan living and dining areas. As a guide, it cools a room of up to about 57 to 67 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 Samsung AI Smart AIRISE WindFree range. For a smaller, well-insulated room the 6.8kW will do the job for less power draw.
Part of the Samsung AI Smart AIRISE WindFree range, Samsung's split system line, in 5 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 8 kW options, see every 8kW split system ranked by running cost, or ask about supply and installation.
About $679 a year at the current Sydney median electricity rate: $247 of cooling plus $432 of heating, from the official GEMS test figures.
The Samsung AI Smart AIRISE WindFree 8kW uses 745 kWh annually for cooling and 1303 kWh annually for heating under official GEMS testing in Sydney's climate zone. These figures reflect typical household operation and form the basis for running cost estimates on this page. The system carries a 3-star energy rating for cooling and 2-star rating for heating under zoned labelling for Sydney.
The unit achieves a rated cooling efficiency (AEER) of 3.26 and heating efficiency (ACOP) of 3.27. It uses R32 refrigerant. Your actual energy consumption and running costs will vary depending on usage patterns, thermostat settings, home insulation, and outdoor temperatures.
