Just bought a home? Need to replace an outdated air conditioner? Then this could be the perfect time to invest in a brand-new model from Daikin, a worldwide leader in heating and cooling technology. 

Throughout this article, we’re going to touch on 10 compelling reasons to choose Daikin split system air conditioners, as well as highlight a few of the best options on the market today. Let’s jump right into it!

1 – Energy Efficiency

As Australian power prices continue to climb, there’s never been a better time to invest in energy-efficient appliances. Because we rely on heating and cooling systems so much, going for a more efficient option is a tangible way to save money, especially in the long run. Daikin models deliver effective heating and cooling in a more efficient way and switch into power saving mode if the area is unoccupied for a certain period of time.

One way to gauge the efficiency of an air conditioner is to assess its energy star rating. So, how do some of Daikin’s current models stack up?

Alira X Series: 

  • Cooling : 5.5/4.5/5 stars
  • Heating : 3/3/2.5 stars

XL Series

  • Cooling : 6/5.5/5.5 stars
  • Heating : 3.5/3/3 stars

Cora Series

  • Cooling : 5/4.5/5 stars
  • Heating : 3/2.5/2.5 stars

Zena Series

  • Cooling : 4/3.5/4 stars
  • Heating : 3.5/3/2.5 stars

2 – Air Quality

Daikin’s Alira X, Zena, and XL Premium models can all remove 99.9% of common indoor air pollutants. As a brand, Daikin is also a proud member of the National Asthma Council’s Sensitive Choice® program. This means that their air conditioning systems come with:

  1. Ventilation and humidity regulation
  2. Oxygen activation
  3. Powerful decomposition removal
  4. Anti-microbial properties
  5. Allergy and asthma-friendly technology

Another notable feature is their cutting-edge air purifiers, which come with “a prefilter, deodorising filter, HEPA filter and Daikin’s signature Streamer Technology. (Source: Daikin Australia

As you can see, they really prioritise air purification and have made this a staple of their newer models. So, if anyone in your property has asthma or allergies, Daikin is always a safe bet. Always double-check for a blue butterfly, which is the official symbol of the Sensitive Choice program.

3 – Whisper Quiet Air Conditioning

With innovative fan blades, whisper quiet motors and a variety of different functional modes, you’d be amazed at how modern AC units can be so effective and quiet at the same time. In fact, some Daikin air conditioners are so quiet that you’ll probably forget they’re even on at all!

Another feature, which we will explore below, is the addition of various different modes. This includes power saving modes that are naturally more quiet. So, if you’re tired of noisy and disruptive options, investing in a Daikin model is a sure fire bet. Trust us when we say that it will make your home or work life more pleasant!

4 – Intelligent Sensors

Much like smartphones and vehicles, more and more appliances have incorporated intelligent sensors as a part of their core functionality. Let’s use the Alira X to showcase Daikin’s integration of cutting-edge sensor technology.

The 2-Area Intelligent Eye** is incredibly clever, so much so that it can now either direct airflow towards you or away from you for draught free comfort. When a room is unoccupied, the unit will automatically kick into gear and switch to power saving mode. The Alira X also has a humidity sensor that helps to maintain a more comfortable indoor environment.

5 – Smart Device Connectivity

Nothing beats the convenience of smart connectivity, especially when it comes to managing your heating and cooling system. Tired of returning from work to a bitter cold or steaming hot house? With the help of apps and smart devices, you can regulate the indoor temperature from practically anywhere!

If you’ve already got your property hooked up with Google or Alexa, Daikin air conditioners can seamlessly integrate into your smart home system. At Maroondah Air, we’re able to provide custom solutions that suit your unique needs–including single, multi, or ducted air air conditioning. Reach out to us for a quote today!

6 – Balanced Airflow

Ever owned an air conditioner that simply blows air in a single stream and doesn’t cover the rest of the room? If you’ve ever worked in an office and sat directly underneath or too far away from the split system, you’ll know all too well how uncomfortable this can be. Thanks to Daikin’s signature Coanda Airflow technology, these concerns are now a thing of the past.

As explained in this video from Daikin, Coanda airflow was developed in response to the traditional issue of direct airflow. In this case, air circulates upwards along the ceiling and creates a circulatory motion that covers the occupied space. This allows for rapid heating and cooling, even temperature distribution, and improved comfort levels for everyone inside.

By installing a brand new Daikin air conditioner, you’ll no longer need to settle for discomfort. Who knows, it might even help to settle arguments over temperature at home or work as well!

7 – Sleek Designs

A smooth, sleek, and modern design is a signature feature of almost every Daikin unit. The compact and discreet nature of many Daikin units minimises their visual impact, making them an attractive addition to both residential and commercial interiors. High-quality materials, polished finishes, as well as subtle white and black colour options that blend in seamlessly with different interior environments 


The Zena series, for example, has an ultra-compact discrete casing size of only 295mm high, 798mm wide and 185mm deep. This makes it an excellent choice for smaller homes, rooms, and spaces.

Beyond aesthetics, Daikin incorporates innovative design features that enhance user experience, such as intuitive controls and seamlessly integrated vents. The quiet operation of these units, combined with their elegant appearance, ensures they contribute to a pleasant ambience without dominating the room’s décor. 

8 – Track Record

Daikin’s reputation as one of Australia’s leading air conditioning companies isn’t built off overnight success. In fact, this October will mark the 100 year anniversary of when the company was first founded back in Osaka, Japan. 

Over the past century, they’ve always been known for producing highly reliable, efficient, and forward-thinking air conditioning systems. This still holds true to this day. In recent years,their track record continues to speak for itself, which is why their systems are used by so many Australian homes and businesses.

9 – Easy Installation

Daikin air conditioning units are renowned for their ease of installation, making them an ideal choice for smaller apartments, homes, and units. Their compact design and flexible installation options allow for seamless integration into various living spaces without the need for extensive modifications or renovations. 

Whether you’re upgrading an existing system or installing a new one, Daikin’s user-friendly setup ensures minimal disruption and quick, efficient installation. Other innovative features, such as pre-charged refrigerant lines and simplified connection systems, streamline the installation process. This can both help to save time and reduce installation costs.

10 – Warranty Programs

All of Daikin’s split, multi-split and ducted air conditioners come with a 5-year warranty on parts and labour. These warranty policies apply to any model purchased and installed in Australia. Although their air conditioners are known for being reliable and efficient over time, this gives you some extra assurance in case of any unforeseen issues.

It’s important to note that some warranty packages are only valid if regular servicing occurs. This is something you should double check when selecting a specific Daikin model. Of course, the Maroondah Air team is always available to provide a seamless air conditioning service in Melbourne.
