Who the Daikin Cora 5kW is for
The 5kW Cora handles a proper living space — 30 to 45 m² of open plan — and pairs it with a 6kW heating rating that makes it a genuine winter heater, not just summer relief. A 5-star cooling rating in Perth's zone keeps the running costs honest.
Sized right, 5kW comfortably covers around 33 m² in Perth conditions — master bedroom, open-plan living. In quiet mode the indoor unit drops to 28 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 $2,945 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.
The Daikin Cora range
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 5kW — common questions
How much does the Daikin Cora 5kW cost installed in Perth?
From $2,945 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 5kW suit?
As a Perth rule of thumb, 5kW of cooling comfortably handles a room of around 33 m² — master bedroom, open-plan 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 5kW 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 5kW 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.
