This air conditioner has made such a difference to our lives
This air conditioner works amazingly well. The control panel is high tech however easy to use. We love the fact that we can turn it on remotely from our phones.
Purchased in January 2021 at Absolute Cool Toowoomba for A$15,413.20.

Great air conditioner / heater
We had one of these units, with 6 zones installed in our new double story 250m2 home as it was being built, along with the Advantage Air tablet control system. Very powerful and efficient system - the Advantage Air provides individually controlled temp zones and allows us to control it from our smart phones (from anywhere). Very powerful and very quick to cool down our home (or just a single room) on a hot day. The only thing we would note is you do need at least 3 vents open at any one time - works well for us as a family, generally having at least two rooms on, but it wouldn't be possible to only use it in say a bedroom without having the living area on at the same time.
Purchased in November 2021 for A$12,310.00.

Don’t buy this if you like your neighbours!!
While this unit may provide exceptional cooling to your house, the unit produces a wonderful buzzing noise sure to drive your neighbours mad, and then Daiken will tell you there is nothing wrong. Buy an actron esp instead, buy anything other than this loud and offensive unit. It’s like living next to a 132kv transformer.
Purchased in June 2021 for A$7,000.00.

Saved us from the extreme weather!
We tried to live without air-conditioning for a long time to minimise our carbon footprint, until our baby is born last year. New parents would understand that it's hard for babies to fall asleep when it's super hot/humid.
As this is a big investment, we did our research thoroughly to ensure our decision is one that is wise and careful. We have now installed the Daikin ducted system for almost a year and I have to say we are very happy with it! It cools and heats quickly and the machine outside is fairly quiet. Having zoning saves on electricity and is more environmentally friendly too.
Overall, we would highly recommend the Daikin ducted system!
Purchased in April 2021 for A$6,500.00.

Breakdown after one year
Had a Daikin FDYQN125L ducted air conditioning system installed just over one year ago and had been very happy with its cooling (excellent) and heating (okay but not fantastic) until recently when it just stopped working. Error code and technician said it was a problem with the inside and outside printed circuit boards (PCB) not communicating properly. Have had to survive in sweltering heat for two weeks over Xmas and New Year. All staff have been friendly and professional but they can't make up for faulty equipment. Not a good recommendation f...Read more
or Daikin products, especially as it cost us almost $10,000. The unit failed on December 18 (when we notified the installer) and it is now January 3. Yes, it is the Xmas/New Year period and staff levels are no doubt low at Daikin spare parts department, but a one year old product just shouldn’t fail if it is fit for service. Not happy. Friends in same area had exactly the same problem with exactly the same unit.1 comment

Great air
My Daikin AC kept my house warm this winter, heating up a big living room. Power rating on the high side but if you need the house heated up, there is a cost. Great features with the standard AC but even better with the connected iZone functionality. Easy to use, Great iPad Wall panel with flexibility to manage the AC from mobile devices. Change AC requirements for each room individually.

Great air conditioner
Was advised by the person I had install my air conditioner who I had a lot of trust in that this air conditioner was the best pick of them all so on his advice I went with it and can say I am glad I took his advice. I am very happy with this one as it seems to do the job with ease and is so quiet and efficient. Would certainly be recommending Daikin to anyone I know wanting to purchase a air conditioner, love it.

Glad to have installed when we did
Very quiet, efficient and cools very quickly. Installation was done very efficiently and professionally. Control panel simple to operate.I think its reputation as a superior brand in the market is well earned.No issue for past 4 years of heating and cooling especially in the 40-degree centigrade summer we have been experiencing.With the energy bill skyrocketing it is an expensive option but essential to comfortable living.

Stops when you need it most
I have had this sytem installed in my new house and it has given nothing but trouble.
As soon as it getss to hot or a thunder storm strikes the outdoor unit/compressor stops working.
I rang the installer and he said "it happens and YOU have to reset it outside"
Oh so I spend 13k to go outside on a 40C day and reset my AC.
I had to do it 5 times before it would work.
I think daikin are to high tech and not too highly tested. Bit in front of themselves technically.
Would I buy or recommend Daikin? No.

Questions & Answers

Is this model Daikin inverter FDYQN160 adequate for a 270sq.m. (29 square) 2 storey home?
No answers
Samasked
What are the noise levels of the outdoor unit like? I'm thinking of getting the FDYQN160 but don't want it to be loud enough to bother the neighbours.
2 answers
Our outdoor unit is situated directly outside our kitchen window and the sound from it has never really been a problem. It is certainly not loud. As we live in the country the unit faces out onto shrubbery and small trees so there are no hard surfaces to reflect sound (if you live in the city, for example, and neighbours are close and there are plenty of concrete walls, hard fences, etc). Even still, the two fans don't seem to make much sound.
I should also point out that the unit did break down in the first year and the problem was a faulty printed circuit board but it was replaced quickly and efficiently.
The whole system cools the house very well in out hot summers but is not so good at heating in the winter.
However, we are generally very happy with it and sound has never been a real problem.
Thanks for the thorough answer, Leigh!

Please advise the dimensions of this ceiling-mounted unit together with the external unit? Also the unit component weights.
Thanks.

Almost three weeks later and our Daikin ducted air conditioning system (reviewed above) has been repaired today and, so far, is working well. Two components on one of the printed circuit boards were b... Read more
urnt out. Our installer comoany did a good job of finding the problem and fixing it, especially as it was the Xmas/New Year holiday period. The admin staff and, in particular, the repair guy were very helpful and efficient, particularly the latter who had to endure several tortuous visits into our blazing hot roof cavity. So, kudos to them and the company for fixing the problem. But no kudos to Daikin who had obviously supplied them with faulty PCBs which failed in little more than one year. So, we would recommend the installer but not the product.
