| 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. | 2.5 kW | 3.5 kW | 5.0 kW | 6.1 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. | 3.2 kW | 4.0 kW | 6.0 kW | 6.8 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 |

| 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. | 10.5 | 9.5 | 8.5 | 7.5 |
|---|
| 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 | 5.1 | 4.6 | 4.6 |

| 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++ |
|---|
| Sound leveldB(A) is a measurement of sound, and the scale is not a straight line — a difference of a few dB(A) is more noticeable than the numbers suggest. Manufacturers quote under their own test conditions, so treat these as a guide to relative quietness rather than as directly comparable numbers. | 19 dB(A) in Silent (SLo) mode, up to 45 dB(A) at full speed. At its ordinary low fan speed it is 23 dB(A). Measured as the manufacturer publishes it: SLo ("Silent"), the lowest of the five published fan speeds. Cooling SLo-Lo-Mi-Hi-SHi 19-23-29-36-42; heating 19-24-29-38-45. Lowest published across both modes recorded. Highest of the five published fan speeds (SHi), cooling. Lo, the ordinary low fan speed — one step above Silent. Cooling 19-23-29-36-42; heating 19-24-29-38-45. | 19 dB(A) in Silent (SLo) mode, up to 45 dB(A) at full speed. At its ordinary low fan speed it is 24 dB(A). Measured as the manufacturer publishes it: SLo ("Silent"), the lowest of the five published fan speeds. Cooling SLo-Lo-Mi-Hi-SHi 19-24-29-36-43; heating 19-24-29-38-45. Lowest published across both modes recorded. Highest of the five published fan speeds (SHi), cooling. Lo, the ordinary low fan speed — one step above Silent. Cooling 19-24-29-36-43; heating 19-24-29-38-45. | 25 dB(A) in Silent (SLo) mode, up to 47 dB(A) at full speed. At its ordinary low fan speed it is 29 dB(A). Measured as the manufacturer publishes it: SLo ("Silent"), the lowest of the five published fan speeds. Cooling SLo-Lo-Mi-Hi-SHi 27-31-35-39-46; heating 25-29-34-41-47. Lowest published across both modes recorded. Highest of the five published fan speeds (SHi), cooling. Lo, the ordinary low fan speed — one step above Silent. Cooling 27-31-35-39-46; heating 25-29-34-41-47. | 29 dB(A) in Silent (SLo) mode, up to 49 dB(A) at full speed. At its ordinary low fan speed it is 37 dB(A). Measured as the manufacturer publishes it: SLo ("Silent"), the lowest of the five published fan speeds. Cooling SLo-Lo-Mi-Hi-SHi 29-37-41-45-49; heating 29-37-41-45-49. Lowest published across both modes recorded. Highest of the five published fan speeds (SHi), cooling. Lo, the ordinary low fan speed — one step above Silent. Cooling 29-37-41-45-49; heating 29-37-41-45-49. |

| Indoor sound pressureSound pressure is how loud the indoor unit is at a stated distance — the figure closest to what you would actually hear. This is the quietest each manufacturer quotes, measured under its own conditions; see the row above. | 19 dB(A) | 19 dB(A) | 25 dB(A) | 29 dB(A) |
