Heating with Daikin
Gas prices are growing year on year and experts are
predicting they will continue to climb for more years
to come. This is bad news when your gas heating
amounts to approximately 69% of your gas bill.
Major changes in the gas market have increased the running cost of gas heating appliances for Australians. The amount Australian households pay for gas is heavily influenced by the higher prices gas exporters can obtain from other countries. As a result, Australian households are paying more for gas1.
Now for the good news...
Households can make considerable savings of up to 32% on their heating running costs by switching to a Daikin split system.
What’s more... you’ll enjoy all these other benefits with a Daikin.
Better Air Quality: A Sensitive Choice approved product by the National Asthma Council Australia.
Intelligent Eye: A human presence sensor allows for the ability to either direct airflow towards you or away from you for draft-free comfort, or if the room is unoccupied for 20 minutes, the unit automatically goes into energy saving mode.
Comfort Mode: Guarantees draft-free operation by positioning the louvre downwards to drive warm air to the bottom of the room.
Powerful Mode: If you need to heat the room quickly, powerful mode maximises the power for 20 minutes, before automatically returning the unit to the original setting
Smart Phone Control (Optional): Allows you to monitor and control your system from virtually anywhere
Our Research and Development team compared average running costs of a gas heating system versus a Daikin split system.
This comparison was based on delivering identical heating running times from both options and then calculating the running costs.
