Why SmileFM’s Ryan O’Connor Chose Daikin for His Home
With rising Eskom tariffs and the challenge of keeping a busy household cool during Cape Town's scorching summers, many Capetonians are currently on the lookout for a climate control solution that combines energy savings, improved air quality, and enhanced comfort. Cape Town resident and SmileFM radio host, Ryan O'Connor, was recently on this very same journey, and after thoroughly exploring his options, he decided it was time to upgrade to Daikin’s energy-efficient Perfera air conditioning systems.
Ryan was drawn to Daikin’s innovative solutions, known for their energy-saving capabilities and exceptional air quality. He chose Daikin for our commitment to energy efficiency, smart technology, and trusted reputation. After discussing the features and benefits in detail, Daikin is thrilled to sponsor Ryan with four Perfera units for his home – one for the lounge, one for each of his daughters' bedrooms, and another for his master bedroom – ensuring every member of the family enjoys optimal comfort year-round.
“When it came to finding the perfect air conditioning system for our family, we wanted something that checked all the boxes – and Daikin did just that,” says Ryan. “The energy efficiency is incredible. We can keep our home comfortable without worrying about those skyrocketing electricity bills. That was a huge factor for us.”
The Perfera’s Exceptional Benefits:
The Daikin Perfera system is designed to deliver exceptional comfort, energy efficiency, and air quality, making it the ideal choice for modern homes. Here’s a closer look at the key benefits Ryan has enjoyed since installing his new air conditioning units:
Energy Efficiency at Its Best: The Perfera systems feature Daikin’s advanced inverter technology, which continuously adjusts the unit's output to match your exact cooling or heating needs, without overworking the system. This not only reduces energy consumption but also ensures a consistent, comfortable environment.
Improved Air Quality: Equipped with Daikin’s powerful air purification filters, the Perfera units help maintain fresh, clean air by reducing dust, allergens, and other airborne particles. This is especially important for families with children, like Ryan’s, who want to ensure their home's air quality remains high.
Smart Controls and Convenience: The Perfera air conditioners come with intuitive smart controls, allowing users to monitor and adjust the settings remotely via the Daikin Onecta app. This means Ryan can easily set the perfect temperature before arriving home or adjust settings while away to save on energy.
Quiet Operation: Our Perfera systems are designed to operate quietly, ensuring that the home remains peaceful and serene, even when the air conditioning is running. Whether in a busy household or during the night, the Perfera provides cooling and heating without the disruptive noise that other systems may generate.
Year-Round Comfort: Beyond its cooling capabilities, the Perfera system also offers reliable heating. This versatility means that Ryan can rely on his Daikin system to provide comfort throughout the year, from summer’s heat to winter’s chill.
Sustainable Solution: Daikin’s solar-compatible Perfera systems allow homeowners to reduce their reliance on traditional energy sources, offering a more eco-friendly and cost-effective solution. By integrating solar power, Ryan can further cut electricity costs while minimising his environmental impact.
Following their installation, the benefits of the Daikin Perfera units became immediately clear, especially during Cape Town’s scorching summer months. Ryan recalls how his upstairs used to become unbearably hot, reaching 30°C before lunchtime. “But with Daikin, we’re able to keep the house cool even on the hottest days. The temperature is always just right for our family, no matter the time of day,” he says.
Beyond simply cooling, the Perfera units also improve indoor air quality – a crucial factor for Ryan, especially with young children in the house. “Air purification was a big concern for us,” he explains. “We wanted something that could help keep the air clean, and Daikin’s air purifying features ensure it stays fresh, which is a huge relief for us as parents.”
The Perfera systems also provide reliable heating, making them an ideal solution for year-round comfort. “We also wanted something we could count on for winter,” Ryan adds. “With the cold months ahead, we know Daikin will keep us warm when we need it most – whether it’s chilly mornings or cool evenings.”
On top of performance, Ryan expressed that he appreciates the smart, user-friendly controls that let him monitor energy usage and adjust settings remotely. This added convenience makes it easier to optimise comfort and maximise energy savings. “We were looking for a system that could offer energy savings, air purification, and all-around comfort,” Ryan says. “Daikin delivered on every front. It feels great knowing we’ve chosen a brand that aligns with our eco-conscious values and offers such a reliable, high-performance solution.”
Thanks to Daikin South Africa’s sponsorship, Ryan’s home has become a sanctuary for his family – cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and always comfortable.
