Daikin RSUA5AVMG

The outdoor unit of a 14.27 kW single-phase vrf system, rated 5 green ticks. Costs about $121 a month to run — here is how that compares with every other system its size on Singapore's NEA register.

Is the RSUA5AVMG expensive to run?

Not really — it's on the better side of average. Of the 7 systems on Singapore's register around this size, 1 cost less to run.

7 systems, all brands

That is about $3 a month more than the cheapest system its size, or roughly $310 over ten years — before you weigh purchase price, which often runs the other way.

It is not an inefficient unit, though. It sits at the larger end of its size group, so it works harder for the same rating. On efficiency alone it ranks 1 of 7 — middle of the pack.

Looking at the RSUA5AVMG for your home?

This is the outdoor unit of a zoned system. The indoor schedule and the controls are what everything else turns on.

What to pin down before you commit

  • The indoor terminal type and capacity for every zone
  • How the zones are grouped, and which controller drives them
  • Whether the design load reflects how the space is actually used
  • Commissioning and handover — who sets it up and shows you how it runs

A zoned system's consumption follows its indoor schedule. The running cost above is for the configuration NEA tested, not for a particular zone layout.

Figures are NEA energy-label records checked 17 Sept 2026, priced at the label's 27¢/kWh assumption. Your own bill depends on how you actually use it.

Daikin RSUA5AVMG questions

What size home is the RSUA5AVMG suited to?
The NEA register lists it at 14.27 kW of cooling capacity for the configuration it tested. That output is shared across the zones it serves, so have the installer size it against the whole layout, not one room.
What does the 5-tick rating on the RSUA5AVMG mean?
The NEA energy label rates it 5 of 5 green ticks, in the upper band for tested efficiency. Ticks describe energy use under the label test, not cooling strength, so compare it with units of the same size.
What kind of aircon is the RSUA5AVMG?
It is a single-phase VRF outdoor unit, listed at 14.27 kW on the register, which runs a zoned indoor schedule rather than one room. The indoor terminals and the controls carry most of the design decisions.
Is the Daikin RSUA5AVMG still on the NEA register?
Yes. Its registration runs to 24 March 2029, more than four months after the 17 September 2026 snapshot this page is built from.
How efficient is the RSUA5AVMG at part load?
NEA records a part-load COP of 6.46 for the RSUA5AVMG. Part-load efficiency describes how it performs when it is not running flat out, which is how it runs most of the time in a home.
