Daikin Sensira – Product in the Picture

The best value for money air conditioner

Every month we put a different product in the picture to highlight the great value for money products we offer. Last month we discussed the Daikin Perfera, our absolute top seller. Today we put Daikin’s budget model to the test: the Daikin Sensira air conditioner.

Verda Vento wants to make your next aircon purchase as easy as possible. This is why we have made a list of features we believe are important for the purchase of your next aircon. We will rate the Daikin Sensira on 4 main categories: cooling & heating performance, noise levels, air quality and any other convenience improving features.

Cooling & Heating performance

Daikin Sensira is without doubt a strong budget model that comes into the market with very good specifications to lower your electricity bill during cool in summer and heating in winter. Don’t let its entry pricing fool you. Daikin Sensira is an air conditioning unit that will give you top of the range cooling & heating performance without breaking the bank. The unit is an inverter heat pump and can therefore be used to comfortably heat your house during winter. The aircon will even save you money compared to any traditional gas heaters.

Energy Consumption

Daikin Sensira air conditioner is a great budget model that has a very good energy efficiency. Although not as good as the Daikin Perfera, it boasts a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) up to 6,22 and a seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) of up to 4,11. This is translated in an energy label of up to A++ and makes the Daikin Sensira one of the best aircon models in South Africa to reduce your electricity consumption while cooling or heating your house.

R32 Refrigerant

The Sensira air conditioner uses the latest R32 refrigerant. If you choose a R32 product, you reduce your impact on the environment by 68% compared to traditional air conditioners in the South African market and at the same time lower your electricity consumption. A clear win-win for everyone!

Vertical auto swing & Turbo mode

Every unit is equipped with a vertical auto swing. This means that the flaps of the unit move up and down automatically to distribute the air evenly throughout the room. In turbo mode the unit will be able to heat up or cool down your room rapidly for maximum comfort.

Noise Reduction

The Daikin Sensira comes with specific Daikin technology to reduce its indoor noise levels to give you the ultimate in comfort. This is why we will always recommend the Daikin Sensira in any bedroom. With sound pressure down to 21dBA the new Sensira operates almost unnoticed ensuring a good night’s sleep.

Air quality

With regards to air quality, the Daikin Sensira comes with a standard air quality filter that will collect dust in your room. If you require more advanced filtration we would recommend to look at the Daikin Perfera with its flashstreamer technogy.

Convenience

Reliability

To guarantee the seamless operation of your heating & cooling system, the Daikin Sensira range comes with some standard features:

• Swing compressor: Daikin has built an enhanced compressor with inverter technology to adjust the unit’s power and lower your electricity consumption. While most air conditioners in South Africa use a rotary compressor, the swing compressor of Daikin Sensira will provide you with more energy savings and consequently lower the risk for unit breakdown. At the same time the unit will be quieter and have vibration-free operation.
• Prior to delivering your unit,rvery Daikin unit undergoes the most extensive testing before the unit leaves the factory in Europe. This means that the risk of breakdown is minimized and you have good assurance on the quality level of your product.

Corrosion proof

Every Daikin Sensira comes with a strong anti-corrosion treatment. This means that the coils are treated with their trademarked Blue Fin Coil Treatment for its extra protection. These coils have been externally tested by TUV and sustained more that 3000 hours of salt spray. Additionally all PCB’s have an extra protective film to protect the Sensira’s electronic against any corrosive environment. They have also powder coated the outdoor units with galvanized pans to reduce any corrosion there.

Smart control

With the Daikin Online Controller, you can schedule, manage and monitor your heating system from anywhere. Simply connect your unit to Wi-Fi and download the app. From that moment onwards you are able to change the thermostat, set temperature schedules, review your energy consumption and develop your own “If this, then that” workflow. The Daikin Online Controller comes optional with the Daikin Sensira.
