Who the Daikin Alira X 2.2kW is for
The baby Alira X is rated at 2.2kW (Daikin lists it as the '2kW' class) and posts an EER of 5.29 — one of the most efficient splits you can put on a wall in Australia. For a nursery or small bedroom you plan to run every night, the electricity savings compound.
Sized right, 2.2kW comfortably covers around 15 m² in Perth conditions — nursery, study, small bedroom. In quiet mode the indoor unit drops to 19 dB(A) — genuinely bedroom-quiet. If you're between sizes, we'll tell you straight at the quote which way to go — an undersized unit runs flat-out and wears early, an oversized one short-cycles.
Alira X is the step up from Cora — same whisper-quiet DNA, pushed harder on efficiency, with built-in Wi-Fi and Daikin's Streamer air purification as standard. The small sizes post some of the best numbers you can buy: the 2.5kW runs an EER of 5.38, which translates directly into lower running costs every summer. If you want the most efficient wall split we install, this is it.

What $2,190 includes
The from-price is a standard back-to-back install — indoor and outdoor unit on opposite sides of the same wall — and it includes the whole job, not a stripped-down teaser:
- The indoor head and outdoor unit, mounted, levelled, and secured
- Up to 3 metres of insulated refrigerant pipework in neat trunking
- Electrical connection to a suitable existing circuit, with an isolating switch at the outdoor unit
- Condensate drain run to ground level
- Standard outdoor mounting (blocks at ground level, or a wall bracket where specified)
- Vacuum, pressure test, and refrigerant charge to the manufacturer's spec
- Full run test, commissioning, remote demo, and the compliance paperwork
What lifts a quote above the from-price: long pipe runs, two-storey or high mounting, tricky access. The full breakdown is in our Perth split system cost guide, or get a number for your wall with the cost calculator.

Other Daikin Alira X sizes
Daikin Alira X 2.2kW — common questions
How much does the Daikin Alira X 2.2kW cost installed in Perth?
From $2,190 inc GST, supply and installed as a standard back-to-back install. That covers the unit, mounting, up to 3 metres of pipework, the electrical connection and isolator, and full commissioning. Longer pipe runs, height access or switchboard work lift the price — you get an exact fixed quote free before any work starts.
What size room does the Daikin Alira X 2.2kW suit?
As a Perth rule of thumb, 2.2kW of cooling comfortably handles a room of around 15 m² — nursery, study, small bedroom. Ceiling height, insulation, and big west-facing windows shift the answer, which is why we always confirm sizing at the quote.
Can the Daikin Alira X 2.2kW run off an existing circuit?
Often, yes — at 2.2kW it can usually share a suitable existing circuit if it's compliant and has capacity, which keeps the install cost down. We check your switchboard as part of the free quote and tell you either way before any work starts.
What warranty does the Daikin Alira X 2.2kW come with?
Daikin 5-year parts and labour warranty, plus our own workmanship warranty on the installation. Installation by an ARC-licensed tech and a licensed electrician — the same team, on the same job — protects your manufacturer warranty; an unlicensed install is the usual reason a claim gets knocked back.
