Daikin’s Models Compared | The Heat Pump People

When it comes to choosing a heating and cooling system to suit your needs, you want to make sure that the investment you are making lasts long-term. There’s nothing worse than investing in the installation of a system only to find out that it needs replacing or parts cannot be sourced.

Daikin is one of the most trusted brands in heating and cooling with good reason. For over 50 years, they have been leaders in heating and cooling technologies. They are experts in their field and focus solely on air conditioning solutions, which is why The Heat Pump People recommend their products.

Choosing between Daikin heating and cooling systems can be tricky as there is a wide selection of available options. Here’s a comparative guide to help you decide which one will best suit your needs:

All of Daikin’s split systems are of the highest quality and offer fantastic heating and cooling as well as longevity. The split systems come in a range of sizes with a selection of features to suit your requirements. There are a few minor differences between the models, such as:

The US7 contains many advanced features, setting it aside from other heat pumps. It provides premium air quality with its humidifying, ventilating and air purification capabilities making it a Sensitive Choice approved product by the National Asthma Council of New Zealand. It is ideal for those with allergies or asthma and it has a 7-Star energy rating.

The Daikin Cora series features whisper quiet operation, industry-leading energy efficiency and superior comfort levels without compromising on style. Able to blend in harmoniously with modern bedrooms and living areas with its flat panel design, smooth contours and a pristine matte white finish, it uses the latest R32 refrigerant to increase efficiency and reduce environmental impact.

Fantastic standard features include the 2-Area Intelligent Eye (a presence sensor helping to prevent cold draughts and offering energy saving operations when the room is unoccupied), Coanda Airflow technology, air purification and precision control (room temperature can be set in increments of 0.5°C to ensure optimal comfort conditions all year round).

The Daikin Cora split system has power-airflow flaps as well as other features. While the Cora doesn’t have the self-cleaning filter, it does have a dry function mode that ensures your space stays at the optimum humidity, so you don’t have to suffer from a dry throat.

The Zena model has an iconic design, engineered in Europe with built in Wi-Fi capability. It is available in silver or pure matte white and has a slightly more curved contemporary look than the other models. It has many of the great features of the other systems such as R32 refrigerant, air purification and 2-Area Intelligent Eye and whisper-quiet operation.

It also has a multi-colour monitor lamp. The LED lamp lights up with a different colour for each operation mode. This makes it extremely easy to know exactly which mode your split system is currently in, even from a distance.

Daikin’s floor-standing air conditioning units are compact and ideal for anyone wanting the convenience and access that comes with a unit closer to the floor. Floor-standing units come in a wide range of capacities and can even be semi-recessed into the wall or in an unused fireplace.

They are equipped with a range of useful features such as:

• Automatic mode changeover, allowing the unit to switch between heating and cooling for year-round comfort
  
• Even air distribution from either top or top and bottom discharge vents
  
• Hot start operation ensuring heating commences only when the airflow is warm, preventing unwanted cold draughts
  
• A wide operating range enabling the unit to operate from -15°CDB in heating mode to 46°CWB in cooling mode.
  
• Auto fan speed and air purification

Within Daikin’s floor standing range, they have a unique offering - the Nexura. The Nexura is a typical floor unit, with all the features you would expect. However, its best feature is a hidden one; the front radiant panel also heats up to give you that unique familiar comfort of a traditional warm radiator.

When it comes to ducted systems , the Daikin models are similar in terms of their product specifications and features. The premium Inverter Plus range, the Premium Plus and Premium Inverter range all have variations in capacity which will allow you to choose the best one to suit your space and personal needs, whether it be a slimline profile you need or an economical bedroom heating solution.
