Short Description
The Daikin FTXM85W 8.5kW Split System pairs 8.5kW rated cooling with 9.0kW rated heating. This reverse-cycle R32 inverter system includes built-in Wi-Fi, air-treatment technology and a white indoor unit, providing connected year-round comfort for an appropriately sized Australian room.
Product Overview
The Daikin FTXM85W 8.5kW Split System combines indoor unit FTXM85WVMA with outdoor unit RXM85WVMA. Its inverter system varies output between 2.0–10.5kW in cooling and 1.9–11.6kW in heating to respond to changing room demand.
Homeowners gain smartphone-ready control and comfort-focused airflow, while trade customers receive a verified unit match, R32 refrigerant and clearly documented pipework limits. Final capacity suitability must be established from heat load, insulation, glazing, orientation and climate—not floor area alone.
