Fresh Comfort for a Family Home in Barnsley: Valley Air Conditioning Installs Fujitsu ASTH24KNTA Split System

In the growing community of Barnsley, NSW, homeowners are increasingly looking for ways to improve comfort and efficiency in their homes, especially as the region experiences hot summers and chilly winters. Recently, a local family in Barnsley turned to Valley Air Conditioning, a trusted name in the Hunter Region, to upgrade their aging air conditioning system.

The job involved the decommissioning and removal of an existing split system, followed by the supply and installation of a new Fujitsu ASTH24KNTA 7.1kW Reverse Cycle Split System a powerful, efficient, and quiet unit capable of handling large, open-plan spaces.

Project Overview

The existing system in the family’s living area had been in place for over a decade. It was no longer running efficiently, struggling to keep up during summer heatwaves and costing more in electricity with each passing year. The homeowners wanted a powerful and reliable replacement that would provide consistent heating and cooling, while also reducing their energy bills.

After a site assessment and consultation, Valley Air Conditioning recommended the Fujitsu ASTH24KNTA, a high-performance split system that balances strong airflow, quiet operation, and energy efficiency—perfect for large living rooms and family areas.

Stage 1: Decommissioning the Old System

Before any new installation could take place, the Valley Air Conditioning team carefully decommissioned the existing unit. This process involved:

• Safely isolating power to the system
  
• Recovering refrigerant gas in accordance with Australian environmental regulations
  
• Dismantling and removing both the indoor and outdoor components
  
• Inspecting existing infrastructure (electrical wiring, brackets, wall penetration points) to prepare for the new system

By properly disposing of the old unit and its components, Valley Air Conditioning ensured the job was completed safely and sustainably, avoiding environmental harm and ensuring compliance with all relevant regulations.

Stage 2: Supplying and Installing the Fujitsu ASTH24KNTA

Once the old system was removed, it was time to install the new Fujitsu 7.1kW split system. Designed to deliver strong performance across a range of temperatures, the ASTH24KNTA was well-suited for the family’s large, open-plan living and dining area.

Air Conditioner Installation Process

Valley Air Conditioning’s expert team ensured a neat, professional install that was completed within a single day:

1. Indoor Unit Installation
   The indoor unit was mounted on a freshly prepared internal wall, centrally located for maximum airflow across the room. The team ensured the bracket was secure and level, with all pipework and cabling concealed for a clean finish.
2. Outdoor Unit Positioning
   The outdoor unit was placed on a concrete slab in a shaded area outside, away from foot traffic to reduce noise impact. Anti-vibration mounts were used to ensure quiet operation and extend the life of the system.
3. Electrical and Refrigerant Connections
   Licensed technicians connected the unit to the home’s electrical system and charged the system with refrigerant, ensuring it was pressure-tested and leak-free.
4. System Testing and Commissioning
   The system was powered up and tested across both heating and cooling modes, with full diagnostics run to ensure proper function. Airflow, temperature control, and remote operation were all confirmed.
5. Client Demonstration
   The homeowners were given a complete walkthrough on how to use the system, including setting timers, adjusting airflow, using quiet mode, and cleaning the filters.

The new Fujitsu ASTH24KNTA delivered immediate results. The homeowners noted how quickly the system cooled the space and how much quieter it was compared to their old unit.
