Daikin Perfera CVXM20B 2.0kW Floor Standing Multi-Split Indoor Unit
The Daikin CVXM20B is a 2.0kW floor standing indoor unit from the Perfera range, built for use on a Daikin multi-split outdoor condenser (such as the 2MXM, 3MXM, 4MXM or 5MXM series, sold separately) alongside other indoor units. Its slim, low-level cabinet sits discreetly at skirting height, making it a practical alternative to a wall-mounted unit where wall space is limited.
Supplied as the indoor unit only, for connection to a compatible Daikin multi-split outdoor unit by an F-Gas certified installation company.
Key Features
- 2.0kW nominal indoor unit, floor standing format
- Slim profile: only 238mm deep
- R-32 refrigerant
- Sound pressure from 22 dBA on quiet mode (cooling)
- 4-speed fan operation (High / Medium / Low / Quiet)
- Designed for connection to a Daikin multi-split outdoor unit alongside other indoor units
Benefits
- Discreet, low-level installation — ideal where wall or ceiling space is unavailable, or where a traditional radiator-height unit is preferred.
- Whisper-quiet operation — indoor sound pressure from 22 dBA on the lowest fan speed makes it suitable for bedrooms and living spaces.
- Part of a multi-room system — combine with other Daikin Perfera indoor units on a single multi-split outdoor unit for independent room-by-room control.
- R-32 refrigerant — lower environmental impact than older refrigerants.
Suitable Applications
- Living rooms and bedrooms where wall-mounted units are impractical
- Multi-room installations alongside other Perfera indoor units
- Rooms with large glazed areas or limited wall space
- Replacement for traditional radiator positions

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this listing include an outdoor unit?
No. This listing is for the CVXM20B indoor unit only. A compatible Daikin multi-split outdoor unit is sold separately.
Can this be used on a mono-split system?
The CVXM20B is designed for multi-split outdoor units. For a single-room mono-split installation, see the equivalent FVXM-series floor standing indoor unit.
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.
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 unit heat as well as cool?
Yes, when connected to a Daikin multi-split heat pump outdoor unit, the CVXM20B provides both cooling and heating.
What size room is this suitable for?
As a general guide, 12–20 m². However, room sizing depends on multiple factors. A heat load calculation is recommended for accurate sizing.
What pipe sizes does this unit require?
1/4" (6.4 mm) liquid line and 3/8" (9.5 mm) gas line.
How quiet is this unit?
From 22 dBA in cooling mode on the quiet fan setting, rising to 38 dBA on high fan speed.
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 indoor unit must be installed and commissioned as part of a complete multi-split system 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.
