Daikin Cora Questions & Answers

I’m in Victoria installation was $900

Dear Lizzie, My home is open living and I have all my doors open to all rooms and some windows as well as I like a bit of fresh air and yet it keeps my home nice and cosy.

Depends on the size you choose. I have the 9.4 kw unit and it draws approximately 3kw (electrical) when running flat out. These are inverters though, so they do operate at reduced rates once target temperature is acheived. If you were to install solar because you were running the air con often just install the largest you can get (usually 6.6 kw panels with 5 kw inverter)

Thank you Bman. I have the 7.1kw already installed and an electrician is coming in two days to quote on panels for the express purpose of powering the aircon often. However as price is an issue, I don't want to be feeding too much back in to the grid.

where to find user manual inverter FTXM71QVMA (7.1kW)

Hi,
Slide open the remote and you will find the sideways button on the right. It’s the button directly below ‘Swing’.

Trish here, My fault - I changed from auto because it wasn’t heating (they said it does that when it gets to allocated temperature which was 24 degrees), to manual. I accidentally set it to cooling. Fortunately two technicians came out and sorted me out before weekend, today is Friday.

Varies by installer - $300 +

About $3000 Installed

Hi you don't have it on the night setting do you with quiet fan? Just wondering. If not then sorry I have not had this issue, you will need to contact Daikin for assistance.

i am not a Daikin expert however I would think not. Daikin has many model numbers.

No because mine is only a small room air conditioner (a round the 2 kw mark). Our is fabulous for our bedroom and cheap to run.

Hello,
Though i was told by the salesman that split systems are designed to cool the one room, with the door open it definitely cools down our lounge room also which also runs off the bedroom. it was roughly $2900, through the sales manager at Coldflow i think his name was Arman, give him a call he will give you a great price and their service was outstanding!
though i think that price depends on the location of the outdoor unit, ours is directly behind on the ground, may cost more if it is further away and mounted on the wall.
hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply and helpful information Megan much appreciated.
I think the right size unit would heat and cool they lounge and the main bedroom .
Two units in our small cottage would probably suit and be cheaper than ducted air-conditioning.
Thanks again Mick

Doug,
I have the 7.1kW Dakin Cora although my answer would apply to any.
The 3 stars for cooling and 3.5 for heating refer to the efficiency of the units. The 5 stars refers to the customers satisfaction with the product after it is installed and operating.

Hi Doug, I think Pumpy's answer sums it up nicely!

Many thanks - I understand, I am having a Daikin Cora installed next Monday. Regards. Doug.

Hi Melly, we've found all our Daikin air conditioners, including this last one, to be pleasingly quiet. The outside units have some machinery noise of course, and I wouldn't put them under a bedroom window if it can be avoided. And the inside unit does make some wind noise, especially on high. But they are pushing air when all is said and done! But it has a quiet mode which is very gentle and we don't find the noise levels disturbing. Even normal mode is not too bad at all. Certainly much quieter inside and out than our 17 year old Panasonic unit. Hope that helps!

G'day Melly,
We have two Daikin Cora's, a 7.1 Kw in the living area and a 2.0 Kw one in the bedroom. They replaced 15 year old Daikin units last year (2017), we are very happy with both. Considering the amount of air they circulate they are quiet. We don't bother to use the quiet mode.
Cheers,
Bob.

Do you mean from the outside unit? If so it needs to drain somewhere. If it can't then dig a bucket size hole and fill with gravel and put the hose into it about half way so it can soak into the ground. If the inside unit is leaking the in the instructions, it says you need to tighten the allen screw inside the plug to expand it to stop leaking. Mine didn't have this. Otherwise you could silastic the plug in.

Best to contact a retailer, but I guess that using the 'econo/quiet' setting might do the trick!

we have ours now set to quiet 24. heats a large room in around 10 minutes.

Ok thanks for that I have tried this setting before but was unsure if it was the best.
