FAQ
Hitachi ceiling cassette: common questions
How much does a Hitachi ceiling cassette cost installed?
Typically $3,500 to $7,000 supplied and installed in 2026, depending on size and the job. 2.5 kW: $1,500 to $2,500; 3.5 kW: $1,700 to $2,700; 5.0 kW: $2,100 to $3,300; 6.0 kW: $2,400 to $3,600. Pipe runs, a new circuit or a second storey add to it. Get up to three local quotes for your actual job.
Which is the most energy efficient?
For the average climate zone, the Hitachi RAI-VJ35RHAE (3.5 kW) has the highest cooling rating here at 4 stars. Star ratings on the zoned label run to 10, and a star is worth more in a hot zone than a mild one. For cold-climate heating, the Hitachi RAI-VJ25RHAE leads at 2.5 stars.
What size split system do I need?
Roughly 2.5 kW for a bedroom, 3.5 kW for a large bedroom or small living room, and 5 to 7.1 kW for open-plan living. West glass and poor insulation push it up. Use the size calculator for your room.
