Best Daikin Ducted Air Conditioners

Based on 13 reviews

Daikin's ducted systems are suited to medium to large houses. The AC brand asserts that since only the grills on the ceiling are visible, they're ducted models are a more subtle addition to a space than an AC with an obvious external unit, such as a split system AC.

Dakin Premium Inverter absolute rubbish as it failed in less than 7 years – Crispair convinced us to buy an Daikin ducted air conditioner as it was a supposed to be a good ducted system and to also pay extra for the premium… Read more

Daikin inverter. The compressor has apparently failed after 6 years and nine months which is outside the 5 year warranty on compressor. Repair is almost $5000 with no guarantee that it won’t require more parts when they repair it or that something else won't fail. Given the failure, I must say that the Daikin premium is an absolute rubbish air conditioning product and 10 year warranty is worthless when compressor fails. Replacement system is expected to be $8000+ (installed) with new manufacturer warranty so I can not see any benefit in trying to have it repaired. The Daikin inverter should have lasted at least double the time it has, given information about inverters. This was purchased in late 2017 so no supply issues but obviously just cheap parts sold at premium price. Daikin may have once been good but their Premium Inverter is rubbish as far as I am concerned which seems to be the case with other reputable manufactures who also produce rubbish products. They all keep reducing cost until the product is absolute rubbish and at the same time throw away their once great reputation for producing high quality products. Also if this failure was unusual or unexpected, you think the company offer some assistance to maintain its reputation but nothing

Hopefully a good ducted airconditioner system – We replaced an underfloor gas ducted heating system with this 16kW system including 3 zones with motorised dampers. General installation good by… Read more

keeping an eye on them not to block gates etc but controls was a bit of let down which took a few days to get sensors and wifi sorted out and installed. Using the Daikin Airhub controller as apparently required for underfloor units to monitor possible gas leaks. After one month quite pleased. Not really cold or hot in that time so certainly has no trouble maintaining desired temperature. Only need low fan speed and ideally would like to be able to set the fan speed a bit lower to be a bit quieter. Will be interesting to compare energy bills next winter. The Airhub is okay and works fine with the App on phone though have not tried it away from the house.. Minor complaints are that is has a huge screen which only shows the setpoint but for some reason doesn't show the actual temperature. Also it doesn't recognise daylight saving so manual time change is required which seems odd in this day and age. A 20 year old controller I have does this automatically.

Daikin market leaders? Doubtful! – I have had the Daikin for just on two years, it replaced a previous Daikin but I was of the understanding the reason the room wasnt heating was due… Read more

to the roof insulation and ducting I had initially installed. Well I replaced the insulation and the ducting put in a new Daikin and after buying over time at least six Daikins ( and one Fujitsu) for various properties and thinking they are market leaders Im of the view I would never buy another. You can only go by the company agents advice, They see the space and make recommendations. On the positive the cooling is much more effective than it was in the old machine but the heating is very poor and patchy.

Two Daikin conditioners with major fault – I had a new build with two Daikin air conditioners installed. Within the first year both of them are faulty and do not work. Access panels were… Read more

arranged in the ceiling for servicing. However due to the gas leak and needs for the coils to be replaced to fix the manufacturers fault under warranty the roof has to come off. Daikin are unwilling to pay my builder to do this. I think it is pretty poor after spending thousands that I or my builder am out of pocket for this as it is not my fault. Also I haven’t had heating all winter. I recommend do not buy Daikin. The installers have told me this is becoming an issue.
