The three we recommend, side by side
Every system we fit is Daikin, and these are the three wall units we recommend: what each looks like, its finishes and its size.
Daikin Perfera
White and softly rounded: the one most people picture when they picture air conditioning. It sits quietly in a bedroom or study, and it’s the most efficient of the three.
- Finish
- White
- Size
- 80 cm wide, 30 cm high, 25 cm deep
- Best for
- Bedrooms and studies, wherever it should blend in
- White
Daikin Stylish
The slimmest of the three, so it sits closest to the wall: good above a bed, in a narrow room or under a sloping ceiling. Its eight finishes can match the room.
- Finishes
- White, silver or black; light or dark wood; grey or colourful fabric; dark brown leather. The wood, fabric and leather are effects, not the real thing.
- Size
- 80 cm wide, 30 cm high, 19 cm deep
- Best for
- Above a bed, narrow rooms and sloping ceilings
- White
- Silver
- Black
- Light wood
- Dark wood
- Grey fabric
- Colourful fabric
- Leather
Daikin Emura
Curved front and back, and the widest of the three. It’s made to be looked at: for a sitting room or a kitchen, where hiding it was never going to work.
- Finishes
- Matt white, silver or matt black
- Size
- 90 cm wide, 31 cm high, 21 cm deep
- Best for
- Sitting rooms and kitchens
- Matt white
- Silver
- Matt black

Which one?
Start with the room. If the unit should disappear, the Perfera. If space above a bed or under a slope is tight, the Stylish. If it’s a room people look at, the Emura, or a Stylish in a finish that suits it. One outdoor unit can run any mix of the three.
The detail: efficiency, sound and sizes
In the sizes most rooms need, up to 3.5 kW, all three carry the top A+++ energy label for cooling and for heating, and all three go down to 19 dB(A). Within that label, the Perfera is the most efficient. For cooling it uses 6–8% less electricity than the other two, about £2 a year on Daikin’s figures. For heating, which is where most of the electricity goes if you use it through the winter, the three are within 1% of each other. On a one-room system the Perfera’s outdoor unit is also a little larger: 92 cm wide against 84. In the larger sizes, for big rooms, all three drop to A++.
On a multi-split the efficiency depends on the combination, and your quote states it.
| Perfera | Stylish | Emura | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One-room sizes | 2.5, 3.5 and 5.0 kW | 2.0 to 4.2 kW | 2.0 to 5.0 kW |
| Quietest | 19 dB(A) | 19 dB(A) | 19 dB(A); 21 at 4.2 kW, 24 at 5.0 |
| Size, mm (H × W × D) | 298 × 804 × 252 | 295 × 798 × 189 | 305 × 900 × 212 |

And the unit outside
It goes out of sight where the house allows: a side or rear wall, or on the ground behind a hedge or a garden wall, away from your neighbours’ windows. The pipes run indoors where they can, and outside in neat trunking. Both positions are agreed at the survey and written into your quote.
