    installation costs

    Product is good and cools and heats well. The issue I have is the cost of installation was actually ended up being as much as the unit., despite advertised installation price back-to-back $986 we had to pay additional $650 this was almost more than what we paid for the unit when it was on sale. So do yourself a favour do not book installation via good guys its a scam.

At a glance

The Hisense Air Q Series 5.1kW reverse cycle split system is a smart, family-friendly air conditioner built for year-round comfort in medium-sized living areas and bedrooms. Its strengths are app and voice control, air purification, quiet operation and fast heating and cooling. It suits households wanting cleaner air and simple smart features. The main limitation is that premium models may offer more advanced zoning, filtration depth or detailed efficiency data.

What it’s great for

  • Year-round heating and cooling
  • Everyday family comfort
  • Cleaner indoor air
  • Smart app control
  • Medium room climate control

Where it works best

  • Master bedrooms
  • Apartments
  • Townhouses

Who it’s for

  • Families
  • Allergy-conscious households
  • Smart home users
  • Homeowners
  • Renters seeking app control

Things to consider

It offers strong everyday comfort and smart control, but buyers wanting premium-grade air filtration, multi-room zoning or published star-rating detail may prefer a higher-end specialist model.

Best suited to medium rooms such as living areas, large bedrooms and compact open-plan spaces

Energy efficiency score

8/10 - positioned by Hisense as top-ranked for energy efficiency, though no star rating is provided here

Noise level vs category average

8/10 - marketed as quiet, suggesting better everyday comfort than many standard split systems

Smart home integration score

8/10 - app and voice control make it easier to manage remotely and fit into a connected home setup

Allergy friendliness

8/10 - Hi-Nano purification and self-cleaning features make it a strong choice for households concerned about dust and allergens

Key benefits

  • Hi-nano purification: Helps reduce airborne allergens, mould, bacteria and dust for a fresher-feeling indoor environment.
  • Self-cleaning technology: Helps keep the system hygienic inside, reducing build-up that can affect freshness over time.
  • Reverse cycle operation: Delivers both cooling and heating so one system can handle summer and winter comfort.
  • App and voice control: Lets you adjust settings remotely and integrate control into a more convenient smart-home routine.
  • Follow/avoid mode: Helps direct comfort toward people or away from them, depending on how you want the airflow to feel.
  • Fast cooling and heating: Responds quickly to changing conditions so rooms reach a comfortable temperature sooner.
  • Smart airflow: Distributes air more evenly around the room for more consistent whole-room comfort.
  • Energy efficiency: AI-rated 8/10 based on Hisense's top-ranked energy efficiency positioning, helping support lower running costs than less efficient alternatives.

Q: What size room is a 5.1kW Hisense reverse cycle split system best suited to?

A: A 5.1kW split system is typically suited to about 35 to 50 square metres in a living area. Insulation, ceiling height, west-facing sun and large windows can all push the ideal room size lower than that range.

Q: Can this Hisense 5.1kW split system heat as well as cool?

A: Yes. Reverse cycle means it cools in summer and heats in winter from the same system. It is a practical all-season option for a main room, although heating performance can taper off in very low outdoor temperatures.

Q: Is this 5.1kW split system better for one large room or several smaller rooms?

A: It is best for one main open-plan area rather than multiple closed rooms. Airflow can reach nearby spaces if doors stay open, but bedrooms or separated zones usually heat and cool less evenly than the primary room.

Q: What should be checked before replacing an older unit with this 5.1kW Hisense system?

A: The key checks are room size, insulation, sun exposure, ceiling height and whether the old unit was underpowered or oversized. Outdoor unit position and electrical circuit capacity also matter. Discuss with your electrician.
