Who the Daikin Cora 4.6kW is for
The 4.6kW Cora is the in-between size people miss: too much room for a 3.5, not enough to justify a 5kW. Think large master suites, small open-plan flats, or well-shaded living rooms. You keep Cora's quiet character with a meaningful step up in grunt.
Sized right, 4.6kW comfortably covers around 31 m² in Perth conditions — standard bedroom, small living. In quiet mode the indoor unit drops to 26 dB(A). 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.
Cora is one of Daikin's most popular wall-mounted splits in Australia, and for good reason: it's built around quiet operation and clean, unobtrusive looks. The smaller sizes idle down to a genuine 19 dB(A) — quieter than a whisper — which is why we fit so many of them in bedrooms.

What $2,845 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, and the dedicated circuit this size requires (which we run in-house — no second electrician). The full breakdown is in our Perth split system cost guide, or get a number for your wall with the cost calculator.

Why we fit the Daikin Cora
Bedrooms and living areas where noise matters and you want a premium badge without the flagship price. Read the full range overview on our Daikin Cora page.
Whisper-quiet operation
Indoor units idle as low as 19 dB(A) on the smaller sizes — Daikin's quiet-mode engineering is the best reason to pick Cora for a bedroom.
Intelligent Eye
A motion sensor redirects airflow away from you (or powers down) when the room is empty, trimming running costs without you touching the remote.
Coanda airflow
Louvres shaped to hug the ceiling before the air falls evenly — no cold draught blowing straight down your neck.
Enzyme blue deodorising filter
Captures and breaks down odour particles for fresher air in the room.

Other Daikin Cora sizes
Daikin Cora 4.6kW — common questions
How much does the Daikin Cora 4.6kW cost installed in Perth?
From $2,845 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 Cora 4.6kW suit?
As a Perth rule of thumb, 4.6kW of cooling comfortably handles a room of around 31 m² — standard bedroom, small living. Ceiling height, insulation, and big west-facing windows shift the answer, which is why we always confirm sizing at the quote.
Does the Daikin Cora 4.6kW need its own electrical circuit?
Yes — anything above 3.5kW needs a dedicated circuit from the switchboard. Because we're dual-licensed in air conditioning and electrical, the circuit, isolator and any switchboard work are part of the same quote and the same visit — no second tradie.
What warranty does the Daikin Cora 4.6kW 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.
