Things to consider
It delivers solid everyday performance, but with a 2.5 star heating rating in average climate it is not as efficient for heating as some premium split systems.
Room size suitability
Large rooms and open-plan areas, approximately 45 to 65 square metres
Energy efficiency score
6/10 - 3.5 star cooling is solid, but 2.5 star heating in average climate is modest for this class
Noise level vs category average
6/10 - 38 to 46dBA is reasonable for a large-capacity split system, but not especially quiet versus premium models
Smart home integration score
7/10 - Wi-Fi and Home APP support add convenient remote control, though broader smart ecosystem support is not specified
Allergy friendliness
7/10 - Bio-HEPA filtration is a helpful inclusion for cleaner circulating air, though it is not a specialist air purification system
Key benefits
- 7.9kW Cooling Capacity: Strong cooling output suited to larger living spaces and rooms around 45 to 65 square metres.
- 8.7kW Heating Capacity: Provides effective reverse cycle heating for open-plan areas during cooler months.
- DC Inverter Technology: Helps maintain steadier temperatures with less noticeable fluctuation than fixed-speed systems.
- Bio-HEPA Filter: Helps circulate cleaner air, making it a practical fit for busy homes.
- Wi-Fi and App Control: Lets you adjust settings remotely around the home for added convenience.
- Sleep Mode: Supports quieter overnight operation and gentler temperature changes for bedroom-adjacent living spaces.
- Turbo Mode: Quickly pushes the room toward your target temperature when fast comfort is the priority.
- 3.5 Star Cooling Rating: Delivers mid-pack cooling efficiency in average, hot and cold climates with a 3.5 star rating.
Q: Can I control this air conditioner from my phone and the remote
A: Yes. This model supports app control through Home APP and also includes a remote control, so you can change mode and temperature without being in front of the indoor unit. Voice assistant support is not listed for this model.
Q: How efficient is the heating on this Westinghouse split system
A: Westinghouse WSD79HWC has a 2.5 star heating rating in average climates. That is workable for a large reverse cycle unit, but buyers focused on lower heating running costs may prefer a model with a higher heating star rating.
Q: Is it quiet enough for a living room near bedrooms
A: Yes. Noise is listed at 38 to 46dBA, and Sleep mode is designed for quieter overnight operation with gentler temperature changes. It is not a silent unit, so some fan noise is still normal, especially on higher speeds.
Q: Can I set it to start before I get home
A: Yes. This model has a 24 hour timer, so you can schedule it to turn on or off around your routine. It is useful for pre-conditioning a room, but it does not include a human sensor to react automatically to occupancy.
Q: Does this model adjust settings automatically when nobody is in the room
A: No. This model does not include a human sensor, so it will not change output based on room occupancy. Temperature control comes from its inverter compressor, programmed modes and the settings you choose by remote or app.
Q: What does the self-clean function actually do after cooling or heating
A: The self-clean function helps dry the indoor coil area after use, which is useful for routine upkeep inside the unit. It is designed to reduce leftover moisture rather than replace normal filter care or a professional service when needed.
Q: Does it need a licensed electrician for installation in Australia
A: Yes. This split system must be installed by a licensed electrician and is not a DIY install. That matters for placement, power supply and compliance, so plan professional installation as part of the total purchase cost.
