Winter is just around the corner. So if you're thinking about upgrading your home heating, there are a few things you need to consider.
You want a set-up that can heat your home quickly, minimises running costs and has durability.
So with this in mind, we're taking a look at the new Daikin R32 Alira X. It's a split-system setup that allows you to keep your home warm during the cooler months, while also keeping the air fresh.
1. Faster, consistent heating
One of the most frustrating things during winter is not being able to warm up quickly enough.
No-one wants to have to freeze in the living room for ages until the heater kicks in. Not to mention the extra energy expended!
To combat this, the new Daikin Alira X features Heat Boost technology. This allows it to warm your room up to 25% faster** than the previous iteration of the Alira X.
To keep your Alira X running for longer, it also features Long Time Heating. This means that the Alira X can stay running for up to 100 minutes without needing to defrost.
2. Energy efficiency
In a time where cost of living is a significant concern, it's important to look for ways to avoid excess spending.
That includes your heating bill!
Additionally, the improved heating and cooling mechanisms in the current version of the Alira X allow for owners to save up to 82% on running costs.*
The Daikin Alira X is designed to help you stay warm without breaking the bank. It includes the Intelligent Eye feature, which automatically adjusts the temperature to save energy when there's no-one in the room.

3. Keeping the air clean
Sometimes houses can get a bit on the stuffier side during the winter months.
It's understandable. It's cold outside, so there's waaaaay less incentive to open your place up and air it out.
But if this isn't managed, it can lead to all sorts of nasty issues with allergens, mould and more.
The good news is that the Daikin Alira X features unique Streamer air purification technology, to help keep the air clean.
In fact, it can reduce up to 99% of mould spores, pollen and allergens that are caught on the filters**.
The unit itself is also designed to stay mould-free. After a COOL or DRY operation, Mould-proof operation keeps the indoor fan running for up to 1 hour to dry up the internals of the unit and prevent the growth of mould.
4. Easy controls
One of the great things about smartphone tech is that you can now control your home's heating from anywhere.
The Daikin Alira X lets you control your heating through the Daikin Mobile Controller app.
So you can start warming things up before you leave work and head home to a toasty living room.
You can also link the Daikin Mobile Controller app to smart home control systems like Google and Alexa, giving you voice control.
5. Built for tough conditions to keep you warmer, longer
Part of investing in an effective heating (or cooling!) system is ensuring that it's durable and built to last.
The Daikin Alira X can operate in ambient temperatures of up to 50°C, though at those temperatures you'd probably be using it for cooling rather than heating.
Additionally, it also features a Gecko-resistant electrical box and improved outdoor design to help protect the unit.
This can help improve reliability over the unit's lifespan.
Investing in quality now can help you get more out of your investment long-term.
