Daikin
Daikin is a Japanese manufacturer of air-conditioning, heating and refrigeration equipment. Its UK residential wall-mounted heat pumps are published with product specifications on Daikin's own UK site, and those are the figures used on the range pages here.

Specifications come from manufacturer documentation. Where a row is ACE Climate’s own view rather than a published figure, it says so. We do not rank these against each other — which one suits you depends on the room, the building and the budget, and that comes out of a survey.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cooling capacityThe range of cooling capacities this model is available in — the cooling delivered, not the electricity used. Which one suits a room depends on a heat-load assessment of that room, not on floor area alone. | 2.0 kW | 2.0 kW | 2.5 kW | 2.5 kW | 3.5 kW | 3.5 kW | 4.2 kW | 4.2 kW | 5.0 kW | 5.0 kW | 6.0 kW | 7.1 kW |
| Heating capacityPresent when the system can heat as well as cool. In heating mode it works as a heat pump, moving heat in from the outside air rather than creating all of it. | 2.5 kW | 2.5 kW | 2.8 kW | 2.8 kW | 4.0 kW | 4.0 kW | 5.4 kW | 5.4 kW | 5.8 kW | 5.8 kW | 7.0 kW | 8.2 kW |

| System typeHow the system is put together. A single split serves one room from one outdoor unit. A multi-split serves several indoor units from one outdoor unit. VRF — variable refrigerant flow — is the larger commercial version, where one outdoor unit serves many indoor units that can run independently of each other. | Single split | Single split | Single split | Single split | Single split | Single split | Single split | Single split | Single split | Single split | Single split | Single split |

| Efficiency, cooling (SEER)How efficiently each system cools across a typical season, as published by the manufacturer. A higher number normally means the same cooling for less electricity, which makes this the fairest single row for comparing two systems of similar capacity. It is not a prediction of a bill — that also depends on the building and how the system is used. | 9.5 | 9.5 | 9.5 | 9.5 | 9.3 | 9.3 | 8.1 | 8.1 | 7.8 | 7.8 | 6.9 | 6.2 |
| Efficiency, heating (SCOP)The same idea as the row above, but for heating across a typical season: higher generally means more heat for each unit of electricity used. Present only where the system can heat. | 5.2 | 5.2 | 5.2 | 5.2 | 5.2 | 5.2 | 5.0 | 5.0 | 4.8 | 4.8 | 4.3 | 4.1 |
| Energy labelAs printed by the manufacturer. The scale differs by capacity band, so two labels are only comparable within the same band. | A+++ / A+++ | A+++ / A+++ | A+++ / A+++ | A+++ / A+++ | A+++ / A+++ | A+++ / A+++ | A++ / A++ | A++ / A++ | A++ / A++ | A++ / A++ | A++ / A+ | A++ / A+ |
| Smart / Wi-Fi control | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No | No |
| Smart control platformWhat a unit can be controlled BY — an app, a voice assistant, a building management system. Separate from Wi-Fi, which is only how it connects. | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
