BTU, short for British Thermal Unit, measures the amount of energy an air conditioner utilizes to remove heat from a given space within an hour.
Often, people have this misconception that they can pick a larger-sized air conditioner to get better and quicker cooling. This is not true! An oversized conditioner will consume excessive energy to cool a smaller area, leading to higher electricity bills. Moreover, frequent starts and stops will occur, causing premature wear and tear of the system.
On the other hand, an undersized air conditioning unit will fail to adequately cool your space!
It is important that you need to calculate the size of your air conditioner as per your place’s requirements and pick the one which fits your purpose.
COP (Coefficient of Performance) indicates how well the air conditioner uses energy. A higher COP means greater energy efficiency which will result in lower electricity consumption, hence saving money.
The recommended temperature setting is around 22ºC to 24ºC. However, it also depends on different individual’s preferred comfort level.
Oh no! No regular maintenance servicing will reduce the air conditioner’s performance and cooling efficiency.

Chemical Flushing uses chemical to penetrate and remove stubborn accumulated dust and grime that inhibits and chokes the cooling coil and drain pipe. A safer and environmentally friendlier alternative will be Steam Cleaning.
We highly DO NOT recommend to do it without professional personnel. As chemical flushing is a complicated procedure which involves dismantling of the fan coil unit components, it is advisable to engage a qualified air conditioner technician to perform the job.
It is recommended to have the air conditioner serviced on a regular basis by a qualified technician to maintain optimum performance and cooling efficiency as well as maintaining the life span of the air conditioner. It is recommended to perform a quarterly servicing (if unit is use everyday).

General Servicing includes washing of the front panel (cover), air filter, drain pan and fan rotor with water, clearing the drainage pipe thoroughly, and check the operating condition and temperature of the air conditioning systems.
When the room temperature has reached its set temperature by the remote controller, the condensing unit will stop operating. It will assume operation once the temperature rises.
This is due to the smell of the room, furniture or cigarettes being absorbed into the unit and discharged together with the airflow. Please contact a qualified serviceman to service your air conditioner in the event that the air conditioner produce foul odour.
The possible causes are: Batteries in the remote control may have run out of power. Objects may be blocking the receiver at fan coil unit. The distance between the sensor and remote control may be too far. Alternatively, you can bring your remote control to our spare parts centre for checking.

Airflow direction is not appropriately set. Remote controller is not in the cooling mode. Parts may be faulty. Please engage our Daikin Service personnel.
The blower of the air conditioner may be dirty. Please contact qualified service serviceman to service your air conditioner.
It is normal for water to drip from the Condenser Unit as condensation takes place when warm air surrounds the piping connections.
The louver will only stay at that position for a period of 15 minutes by pressing the “swing” button at the remote control. After 15 minutes, the louver will automatically move again. The purpose of this is to prevent condensation at the louver.
This is because water is not drained out from the drainage pipe or water is trapped in the pipe, which is blocked by dirty particles. Please contact a qualified service technician to attend to your air conditioner.
