Daikin Perfera 5.0kW (18,000 BTU) Wall Mounted Air Conditioning System

The Daikin Perfera 5.0kW (FTXM50A / RXM50A8) is a premium wall mounted split system designed for larger residential rooms and light commercial spaces. Combining 5.0kW cooling and 5.8kW heating output with A++ seasonal efficiency, built-in Wi-Fi control and Daikin's Flash Streamer air purification technology, the Perfera delivers a level of comfort and air quality that goes well beyond a standard air conditioning system.

Supplied as a complete package — indoor unit, outdoor condensing unit and remote controller — this system is ready for installation by an F-Gas certified installation company.

Key Features

  • 5.0kW nominal cooling capacity / 5.8kW nominal heating capacity
  • 18,000 BTU cooling class
  • A++ cooling energy label / A++ heating energy label
  • SEER 7.55 / SCOP 4.75 seasonal efficiency ratings
  • Built-in Wi-Fi adaptor for remote control using the Daikin Onecta app
  • Flash Streamer technology is designed to help reduce airborne allergens, odours and other contaminants as air passes through the indoor unit
  • Two-area intelligent eye sensor for comfort and energy optimisation
  • Heat Boost function for rapid warm-up in heating mode
  • Indoor sound pressure from 27 dBA on lowest fan speed
  • R32 refrigerant with inverter-driven compressor
  • Operating range: cooling to -10°C / heating to -21°C outdoor

Benefits

  • Efficient heating and cooling year-round — the inverter-driven compressor adjusts output continuously, reducing energy consumption compared to fixed-speed systems.
  • Improved air quality — Flash Streamer technology is designed to help reduce airborne allergens, odours and other contaminants as air passes through the indoor unit.
  • Remote control from anywhere — the built-in Wi-Fi adaptor allows full control via the Daikin Onecta app, including scheduling and energy monitoring.
  • Quiet operation — indoor sound pressure from 27 dBA makes this suitable for bedrooms, offices and spaces where noise matters.
  • Cold climate heating — effective heating down to -21°C outdoor ambient, making it a viable primary heat source in UK conditions.

Suitable Applications

  • Large living rooms and open-plan spaces (45–55 m²)
  • Master bedrooms in larger properties
  • Home offices and studios
  • Retail units and small commercial offices
  • Conservatories and garden rooms
  • Small commercial spaces and offices with a single-phase electrical supply

Room Size Guide

As a general guide, the 5.0kW Perfera is suitable for rooms of approximately 45–55 m². Actual capacity requirements depend on insulation standard, glazing area, ceiling height, solar gain, occupancy and internal heat loads. For commercial applications or rooms with unusual characteristics, a qualified engineer should carry out a full heat load calculation in accordance with CIBSE guidance.

What's Included

  • Daikin Perfera indoor wall mounted unit: FTXM50A
  • Daikin outdoor condensing unit: RXM50A8
  • Infrared remote controller
  • Built-in Wi-Fi adaptor
  • Manufacturer documentation

Recommended Installation Accessories

To complete the installation, your engineer will typically require the following — all available from Airconspares:

  • Pair coil — pre-insulated refrigerant pipework in the correct diameter for this system (1/4" liquid / 1/2" gas)
  • Wall brackets or ground mounting feet — for secure outdoor unit installation
  • Anti-vibration mounts — to reduce structure-borne noise from the outdoor unit
  • PVC trunking — to protect and conceal pipework and cables on the external wall
  • Condensate pump — required where gravity drainage from the indoor unit is not available (Aspen Mini Orange or equivalent)
  • Condensate drain hose — flexible hose for indoor unit drainage
  • Local isolator switch — required by Part P of the Building Regulations
  • Interconnecting cable — 3 core + earth, 1.5 mm², to connect indoor and outdoor units

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this system include installation?
No. This listing is for the equipment only. Installation must be carried out by an appropriately F-Gas certified installation company. Airconspares can supply all installation materials separately.

Does this system include refrigerant?
The outdoor unit is factory charged with R32 refrigerant for the stated precharged pipe length of 10 metres. Additional refrigerant may be required for longer pipe runs in accordance with the installation manual, at a rate of 20 g/m.

Is the Wi-Fi adaptor included as standard?
Yes. The FTXM50A includes a built-in Wi-Fi adaptor. No additional module is required. Control is via the Daikin Onecta app, available for iOS and Android.

What refrigerant does this system use?
R32. This is a lower global warming potential refrigerant compared to R410A. Handling requires F-Gas certification.

Can this system heat as well as cool?
Yes. The Perfera operates as a reverse-cycle heat pump, providing both cooling and heating. It is effective for heating down to -21°C outdoor ambient temperature.

What size room is this suitable for?
As a general guide, 45–55 m². However, room sizing depends on multiple factors. A heat load calculation is recommended for accurate sizing.

What pipe sizes does this system require?
1/4" (6.4 mm) liquid line and 1/2" (12.7 mm) gas line.

What is the maximum pipe run length?
30 metres, with a maximum vertical rise of 20 metres. Additional refrigerant charge is required beyond the precharged 10 metres at 20 g/m.

Is a local isolator required?
Yes. A local isolator switch is required by Part P of the Building Regulations and should be installed by a qualified electrician.

Professional Installation Required

This air conditioning system must be installed and commissioned by an appropriately F-Gas certified installation company. Installation, pipework, electrical connection and commissioning are not included in this listing unless separately agreed in writing. Handling of R32 refrigerant requires appropriate F-Gas certification under UK F-Gas Regulations.
