Things to consider
Its heating performance is strong at 6.0kW, but the 3-star heating rating in average climate and 2.5-star rating in cold climate mean it is not as optimised for colder regions as premium specialist heating models.
Room size suitability
Best suited to mid-sized rooms such as lounge rooms, dining rooms and similar living areas
Energy efficiency score
7.5/10 - strong cooling efficiency with 5 to 5.5 star cooling ratings, but more moderate heating efficiency with 3 stars in average climate and 2.5 stars in cold climate
Noise level vs category average
7/10 - 29 to 43dBA is reasonably quiet for a split system, though not class-leading at the upper end
Smart home integration score
8/10 - Wi-Fi connectivity and Home APP support make remote control convenient, though compatibility details beyond app control are limited
Allergy friendliness
7.5/10 - Bio-HEPA and super ion filtration add useful support for trapping dust and airborne particles during normal operation

- 6.0kW Heating Capacity: Provides effective reverse cycle heating for year-round comfort in everyday living spaces.
- Wi-Fi Enabled Control: Lets you adjust temperature and settings from your phone for easier day-to-day use.
- Follow-Me Function: Uses the remote sensor to help maintain comfort closer to where you are sitting.
- Turbo Mode: Helps the system reach your preferred temperature faster when the room needs a quick change.
- Bio-HEPA Filter: Helps trap dust and airborne particles as air circulates through the system.
- Low Noise Operation: Runs from 29dBA at the quiet end, helping reduce distraction in living areas.
- Cooling Energy Rating: Offers 5 stars in average climate, 5.5 stars in hot climate and 5 stars in cold climate for strong cooling efficiency across conditions.
Q: Does this split system need professional installation in Australia
A: Yes. Westinghouse WSD51HWC must be installed by a licensed electrician, so it is not a DIY job. That affects placement and cost, because the indoor and outdoor units need compliant electrical work. Discuss location with your electrician.
Q: How efficient is the heating on this Westinghouse split system
A: WSD51HWC has a 2.5 star heating rating in a cold climate, which is more average than standout for winter efficiency. Heating output is still 6kW, but buyers focused on lower winter running costs should weigh that trade-off before buying.
Q: Is this air conditioner quiet enough for a bedroom
A: WSD51HWC runs from 29dBA to 43dBA indoors, so lower fan settings are better suited to quieter use than Turbo. It can work in a bedroom, but buyers sensitive to noise will usually prefer low or sleep settings over maximum airflow.
Q: Will the Follow-Me mode track where people move around
A: No. Follow-Me uses the remote control's sensor to read conditions near where the remote is placed, and this model does not include a human sensor. It suits a fixed seating area better than occupancy-based automatic tracking.
Q: Can I control this air conditioner when I am away
A: Yes. WSD51HWC has Wi-Fi and works with the Home APP, so you can change settings from your phone when you are away. Voice control is supported, but the specific voice platforms are not listed for this model.
Q: Can the timer start cooling before I get home
A: Yes. The 24 hour timer lets you schedule start or stop times, so the room can be cooled or heated before you arrive. It is a basic timer rather than a learning schedule, so changes need to be set manually or through the app.
