The Daikin Cora FTXV35WVMA is a 3.5kW reverse cycle split system — the size most Singleton homes end up needing for a master bedroom, a large kids’ room, or a small living area that the 2.5kW model would struggle to hold on a 35 degree afternoon.
Coalfields Climate Control supplies and installs the Cora range across Singleton and the wider Hunter Valley. Final sizing should be confirmed on site, as insulation, ceiling height, glazing, sun exposure and room layout all change the answer.
Overview of Daikin Cora 3.5kW Reverse Cycle Split System (FTXV35WVMA)
▾The FTXV35WVMA pairs with the RXV35WVMA outdoor unit and delivers 3.5kW of rated cooling and 3.7kW of rated heating, modulating between 0.9kW and 4.2kW in cooling. It shares the compact chassis used by the 2.5kW model — 285 x 770 x 223 mm indoor, and a 30kg outdoor unit at 550 x 675 x 284 mm — so it fits the same tight side-of-house runs while delivering roughly 40 percent more capacity.
That combination is why the 3.5kW is the volume seller in this range. It is the largest capacity available before Daikin moves to the bigger chassis, which needs more wall space indoors and more clearance outdoors.
Coanda Airflow throws air along the ceiling rather than down onto occupants, and the 2-Area Intelligent Eye sensor steers airflow away from people and drops the unit into an energy-saving mode when the room empties. Wi-Fi is an optional adaptor rather than a standard inclusion.
– Inverter compressor modulating from 0.9kW to 4.2kW in cooling
– Compact chassis — same footprint as the 2.5kW model with more capacity
– Coanda Airflow directs air along the ceiling instead of down onto occupants
– 2-Area Intelligent Eye presence sensor for draught avoidance and energy saving
– 19 dB(A) quiet operation in cooling
– Enzyme Blue deodorising air-purification filter
– R32 refrigerant
– 5-year parts and labour warranty when professionally installed
Is the Daikin Cora 3.5kW Reverse Cycle Split System (FTXV35WVMA) right for your home?
▾– Master bedrooms and larger bedrooms up to approximately 35 m2
– Small living rooms and combined lounge-dining spaces
– Home offices and studios with west-facing glazing that a 2.5kW unit would struggle with
– Granny flats and self-contained units
– Replacing an ageing 3.5kW system where the existing pipe route can be reused
Not the right choice for full open-plan living areas above about 35 m2 — step up to the 5.0kW or 6.0kW instead.

Energy Efficiency & Performance
▾The FTXV35WVMA is rated at 4.32 EER for cooling and 4.81 COP for heating, with an annual AEER of 4.29. Under the Zoned Energy Rating Label it carries 5 stars for cooling in the hot zone and 4.5 in the average zone — strong figures for the capacity.
Rated power input is 0.81kW in cooling and 0.77kW in heating. For a Singleton household with rooftop solar, that is a load daytime generation covers comfortably, so summer running cost through the middle of the day is minimal.
Worth knowing when you compare across the range: cooling efficiency drops as capacity rises in the Cora range, from 5.10 EER on the 2.5kW down to 3.68 on the 7.1kW. Oversizing costs efficiency as well as purchase price, which is the main reason we size on site rather than working from floor area alone.
Installation Notes for the Daikin Cora 3.5kW Reverse Cycle Split System (FTXV35WVMA)
▾This system pairs the FTXV35WVMA indoor unit with the RXV35WVMA outdoor unit, on a 240V single-phase supply, with a maximum pipe length of 20m and a maximum height difference of 15m.
Coalfields Climate Control supplies and installs this unit throughout Singleton and the Hunter Valley. A site assessment before quoting confirms room sizing, unit placement, pipe route, condensate drainage and electrical capacity.
What supply and install through us covers:
– Manufacturer-approved installation by qualified technicians, so the warranty is not compromised by a non-compliant install
– A lifetime guarantee of workmanship on the installation itself
– A 10-day install guarantee on split system installations in Singleton
– Drop sheets laid before work starts, mess cleaned up afterwards, and a walkthrough of how to operate the system
The most common problem we are called out to fix is not a faulty unit — it is an installation issue: undersized selection, poor outdoor unit placement, or drainage that was never set up properly. Getting the supply and the install from one local team means one number to call if anything is not right.
To arrange a site assessment and quote, call 0422 493 102.
Warranty Information
▾Daikin provides a 5-year parts and labour warranty on split systems professionally installed in domestic premises in Australia.
That warranty depends on the installation being carried out correctly by a qualified installer, and on normal use and maintenance. A DIY or unlicensed install is the fastest way to void it — and handling refrigerant without a licence is an offence in Australia regardless of the warranty position.
Coalfields Climate Control installs to manufacturer specification and is manufacturer-approved for full warranty servicing across all major brands, so ongoing servicing can be handled locally rather than through a metropolitan agent. Our own workmanship carries a lifetime guarantee on top of the product warranty.
Warranty coverage depends on correct installation, normal use, maintenance requirements and the manufacturer current warranty terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
▾What room size does the FTXV35WVMA suit?
It suits spaces of roughly 20 to 35 m2. That is a starting point, not a final answer -- ceiling height, insulation, window area and west-facing glazing all shift it. We size on site before quoting, and will recommend a different capacity if the room needs one.
How quiet is it?
Indoor sound pressure ranges from 19 dB(A) on the quiet setting to 42 dB(A) at high fan speed. The quiet figure is the one that matters for bedrooms and living areas used in the evening.
How much does supply and installation cost in Singleton?
It depends on the pipe run, wall construction, outdoor unit placement and whether the electrical supply needs work, so we quote after a site assessment rather than giving a headline figure that changes later. Call 0422 493 102 to book one.
Does it include Wi-Fi control?
Not as standard -- it requires an optional wireless adaptor. Tell us at quoting stage if you want app control and we will fit it during installation, which avoids a second service call later.
Can it replace my existing split system and reuse the pipework?
Often yes, provided the existing run is within the 20m maximum length and 15m height difference and the pipework is sound. We check this during the site assessment -- reusing serviceable pipework keeps the cost down where it is appropriate.
How efficient is it to run?
It is rated at 4.32 EER for cooling and 4.81 COP for heating. In practice that means roughly 4.32kW of cooling for every kilowatt of electricity drawn. Paired with rooftop solar, daytime summer running costs in Singleton are low.
