Cooling Performance

With a BTU output of 12,000 BTU, the Daikin air conditioner is capable of adequately servicing areas of up to 550 square feet. Thus, this air conditioning system is ideal for medium-large sized living spaces.

Efficiency & Certifications

The Energy Efficiency Ratio and Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio of a unit provide an accurate measurement of how efficiently a unit can be expected to function while in operation. With both figures taking into account the energy consumed, and the performance output of the unit in question, the idea is quite simple; the higher the score, the better. With an EER of 12.5, users can rest assured that their unit will perform to a high level of efficiency. For reference, the industry average currently stands at approximately 9.7, with any unit that scores over 10 being considered to be highly efficient. Additionally, this unit also benefits from an Energy Star certification, which essentially means that this appliance performs in such a way that it adheres to a strict set of guidelines set out by the Environmental Protection Agency regarding energy consumption.

Convenience & Design

This Daikin air conditioner benefits from the inclusion of a wireless remote control, allowing the user to operate their device from anywhere in the room. Additionally, with a dry mode the device is able to remove excess moisture from the air without altering the temperature of the room. Further, this device’s 4 differing fan speeds allow the user to operate their unit on the speed that they require, which can save you quite a lot of money when utilised properly. Regarding noise levels, the indoor unit of this system produces between 19-45dB, depending on the current setting that it is operating on, while the outdoor component produces about 49dB of noise pollution. Finally, this appliance includes an anti-bacterial washable filter, which will clean the air that you and your loved ones will be inhaling. Should you deem it necessary, a wired thermostat is also included as an optional add on for this unit.
