I've queried the price as to why the 16kW is dearer than the 20kW (besides 16kW is a premium inverter).. Cheers Re: Daikin ducted aircon 293 m2 4May 19, 2014 12:57 pm gav89z Hi all, Been given quotes on a Daikin ducted system, Model FDYQN-200 which is the 20kW inverter is around $11300 installed, Daikin model FDYQ-160L , 16kW is around $11500 installed (premium inverter) Any recommendations?

In essence, the premium inverter delivers the correct load as opposed to a 'stepped load' e.g. * Stepped Load delivers at 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% * Demand required is 28% so the inverter delivers at 50% * The premium inverter would only deliver 23% (or much closer to it) as that is what is required Please note that the numbers I've used above are just for example and is purely from my understanding The other thing to keep in mind is that that any of the Daikin units where the external unit is top venting, it is considered a 'commercial unit' and therefore may be quite noisy. You do have the option of installing a 'low noise PCB' but that is an additional cost and you will need to specifically ask for it as well. The low noise PCB basically assists in reducing the fan noise by ensuring that the fan is not running at 100% all the time. The unit normally clips into a metal plate screwed to the wall, either plate is not flush, or unit not hooked in and could be hanging from the pipes partly, either might… 2 15786 retail its around double the price of a similar sized actron/dakin system from memory, They are excellent systems though.
