The Daikin Cora FTXV71WVMA is the largest wall-mounted unit in the Cora range at 7.1kW — and at this capacity the real question is usually whether a single wall unit is still the right answer, or whether ducted would serve the space better.
Coalfields Climate Control supplies and installs both, and will tell you which one your home actually needs.
Overview of Daikin Cora 7.1kW Reverse Cycle Split System (FTXV71WVMA)
▾The FTXV71WVMA pairs with the RXV71WVMA outdoor unit for 7.1kW rated cooling and 8.0kW rated heating, modulating from 2.0kW to 8.9kW in cooling. The outdoor unit is the heaviest in the range at 60kg on the 695 x 930 x 350 mm chassis, with 30m pipe and 20m height limits.
Note the modulating floor: 2.0kW, against 1.1kW on the 5.0 and 6.0kW models. A unit this size cannot throttle as far down proportionally, so in a space that only occasionally needs full output it will cycle more than a smaller unit would. That is the practical argument for not over-specifying.
Where it earns its place is a genuinely large single space with high heat load — a big open-plan living area with west-facing glass, or a raked-ceiling room where warm air stratifies. Coanda Airflow, the 2-Area Intelligent Eye and the Enzyme Blue filter are standard; Wi-Fi is an optional adaptor.
– Largest wall-mounted capacity in the Cora range at 7.1kW cooling, 8.0kW heating
– Modulates from 2.0kW to 8.9kW in cooling
– 30m maximum pipe run and 20m height difference
– Coanda Airflow and 2-Area Intelligent Eye presence sensor
– 30 dB(A) quiet operation
– Enzyme Blue deodorising air-purification filter
– R32 refrigerant
– 5-year parts and labour warranty when professionally installed
Is the Daikin Cora 7.1kW Reverse Cycle Split System (FTXV71WVMA) right for your home?
▾– Large open-plan living areas between approximately 50 and 70 m2
– Rooms with raked or cathedral ceilings
– Spaces with large west-facing glazing and high afternoon heat load
– Large single-room premises such as studios, shopfronts or workshops
– Homes where ducting is impractical because of ceiling space or heritage constraints
If the area you want to condition spans several rooms rather than one large space, ducted will almost always give better control for a comparable spend. Worth asking us to price both.

▾Energy Efficiency & Performance
▾The FTXV71WVMA is rated at 3.68 EER cooling and 4.26 COP heating, with annual figures of 3.62 AEER and 4.18 ACOP. ZERL ratings are 3.5 stars cooling and 3 stars heating in the hot zone.
This is the least efficient unit in the Cora range on cooling — 3.68 EER against 5.10 on the 2.5kW. That is normal for large wall-mounted units and not a fault, but it does mean the cost of over-specifying is real. Running a 7.1kW unit in a space a 5.0kW would have covered costs you roughly 16 percent more electricity for every unit of cooling delivered.
Rated input is 1.93kW cooling and 1.88kW heating. Heating efficiency holds up much better than cooling at 4.26 COP, so in a Hunter Valley winter this unit is comparatively economical to run.
Installation Notes for the Daikin Cora 7.1kW Reverse Cycle Split System (FTXV71WVMA)
▾This system pairs the FTXV71WVMA indoor unit with the RXV71WVMA outdoor unit, on a 240V single-phase supply, with a maximum pipe length of 30m and a maximum height difference of 20m.
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.

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 FTXV71WVMA suit?
It suits spaces of roughly 50 to 70 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 30 dB(A) on the quiet setting to 49 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 30m maximum length and 20m 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 3.68 EER for cooling and 4.26 COP for heating. In practice that means roughly 3.68kW of cooling for every kilowatt of electricity drawn. Paired with rooftop solar, daytime summer running costs in Singleton are low.
