Daikin Moskus 25 or 35 – which heat pump should you choose?
Daikin Moskus 25 and Daikin Moskus 35 are two popular air-to-air heat pumps from Daikin. Both can be used for heating in winter and cooling in summer. The main difference is capacity, home type and heating or cooling needs.
In short
Daikin Moskus 25 is well suited for many ordinary homes, apartments and cabins with normal heating needs.
Daikin Moskus 35 has more capacity and may be a better choice if the home is larger, has a more open floor plan, higher ceilings or a greater need for cooling.
The most important point is not to choose the largest heat pump, but the right heat pump for the home.
In short: the difference between Moskus 25 and Moskus 35
Daikin Moskus 25 and Daikin Moskus 35 are in the same product range. Both are air-to-air heat pumps made for Norwegian conditions, and both can be used for heating and cooling.
The main difference is capacity.
Daikin Moskus 25 is well suited for many ordinary homes, apartments, cabins and rooms with normal heating needs.
Daikin Moskus 35 has more capacity and is better suited for larger rooms, more open floor plans, higher ceilings and homes with a greater need for heating or cooling.
Both models can be the right choice. The most important point is not to choose the largest heat pump, but the right heat pump for the home.

When should you choose Daikin Moskus 35?
Daikin Moskus 35 is well suited if you want a heat pump with a little more capacity. It may be a better choice if the home has larger rooms, a more open floor plan or greater heating needs.
Moskus 35 is often a good choice if you have:
- larger detached house
- larger apartment
- open layout between living room and kitchen
- higher ceilings
- larger windows
- rooms with a lot of sun exposure and a need for cooling
- home where you want a little extra capacity on cold days
Moskus 35 is also relevant if the heat pump is intended to cover a larger area, or if cooling in summer is an important part of the need.

It is not only about square metres
Many customers ask how many square metres Daikin Moskus 25 or Daikin Moskus 35 can cover. This is a natural question, but the answer is not always simple.
How well a heat pump works depends on more than the size of the home. It also depends on:
- floor plan
- insulation
- ceiling height
- window areas
- placement of the indoor unit
- how well air can circulate
- how cold it normally gets where the home is located
- whether the heat pump will mainly be used for heating, cooling or both
Two homes of the same size may therefore have very different needs. An open and well-insulated home may manage with less capacity than a home with many small rooms, poor insulation or high heat loss.
Heating needs: Moskus 25 or Moskus 35?
If the home has normal heating needs, Moskus 25 is often a good choice. It is well suited where the heat pump will contribute even and efficient heating in an ordinary home or common area.
If the home has greater heating needs, Moskus 35 may be a better choice. This is especially relevant if the heat pump will heat a larger area, or if the home has conditions that make heat disappear more quickly.
Examples of conditions that may make Moskus 35 more relevant:
- larger rooms
- higher ceilings
- older home
- larger windows
- more open floor plan
- desire for more effect on cold days
On the coldest winter days, additional heating from panel heaters, a wood stove or another heating source may still be needed. This applies to both Moskus 25 and Moskus 35. The difference is that Moskus 35 has more capacity and may therefore be better suited where the need is greater.
Cooling in summer
Both Daikin Moskus 25 and Daikin Moskus 35 can be used as air conditioning. This makes the heat pumps useful all year round, not only in winter.
If cooling is an important part of the need, Moskus 35 may be the right choice in rooms that become extra warm in summer. This is especially relevant in homes with:
- large windows
- a lot of sun exposure
- bedrooms on the upper floor
- open living areas
- poor natural ventilation
Moskus 25 can still be a good choice in smaller rooms and homes with more normal cooling needs.
Price and value
Daikin Moskus 25 will normally be less expensive than Moskus 35. This makes Moskus 25 a good choice if the need is normal and you want an affordable heat pump.
Moskus 35 normally costs somewhat more, but also provides more capacity. It may be right to choose Moskus 35 if you otherwise risk buying a model that is slightly too small for the home.
The cheapest choice is not always the best choice if the heat pump has to work hard much of the time. At the same time, there is no need to buy a larger model than you actually need.
The goal is to find the right balance between price, capacity and actual need.

- where the heat pump should be placed
- how large an area it should cover
- whether the home has normal or high heating needs
- whether cooling is important
