Supply and Install a Fujitsu Air Conditioner

Valley Air Conditioning Upgrades Home Comfort in Ashtonfield with New Fujitsu Split System
Modernising Climate Control with a 5.0kW Fujitsu ASTH18KNTA Comfort Series Installation

At a residential property in Ashtonfield, NSW, Valley Air Conditioning recently completed a seamless upgrade of the home’s heating and cooling system. The job involved decommissioning and removing an old, inefficient air conditioner, and then supplying and installing a brand new Fujitsu ASTH18KNTA Comfort Series 5.0kW reverse cycle split system in its place.

This project reflects Valley Air Conditioning’s commitment to delivering tailored, energy-efficient solutions to meet the specific needs of local homeowners. The result was a significant improvement in comfort, reliability, and energy performance for the entire living space.

Step 1: Inspection and System Evaluation

The process began with a comprehensive site inspection. The homeowner had reported that their existing air conditioning unit was no longer performing adequately; it struggled to cool the main living area during the warmer months and had become noisy, inefficient, and prone to failure.

Following a thorough evaluation, our technicians recommended a full replacement. The existing system was outdated, and the cost of ongoing maintenance no longer made sense. A 5.0kW Fujitsu Comfort Series split system was selected as the ideal replacement due to its excellent balance of power, efficiency, quiet operation, and user-friendly controls.

Step 2: Decommissioning and Removal of the Old Unit

Before installing the new system, our licensed team began the safe and responsible decommissioning of the old air conditioner. This process involved:

• Recovering and properly disposing of refrigerant gas in accordance with environmental and safety regulations.
• Isolating and disconnecting electrical wiring to ensure the old unit could be safely removed.
• Detaching the indoor wall-mounted unit without damaging the wall surface.
• Removing the outdoor condenser unit, clearing the space for the new Fujitsu system.

All parts were disposed of or recycled in line with Valley Air Conditioning’s environmentally responsible practices.

Step 3: Installation of the Fujitsu ASTH18KNTA Comfort Series

With the old unit removed, the next phase was to install the new Fujitsu 5.0kW ASTH18KNTA Comfort Series reverse cycle split system. This model is well-suited to mid-sized areas like open-plan living rooms, dining spaces, and family zones. Its key features include:

• 5.0kW cooling and 6.0kW heating capacity, perfect for year-round climate control.
• Inverter technology that adjusts compressor speed for precise temperature regulation and improved energy efficiency.
• Quiet operation, both indoors and out, making it suitable for family homes and noise-sensitive environments.
• Allergen filtration system to improve indoor air quality.

The indoor unit was mounted high on the wall to allow for optimal air circulation throughout the room, while the outdoor condenser was securely installed on an anti-vibration pad, positioned for easy service access and to maintain adequate airflow.

Step 4: Pipework, Wiring, and Setup

As part of the installation, our technicians ran new insulated copper refrigerant lines, drain hose, and electrical wiring through the wall cavity. We used a weatherproof wall cap and neatly sealed all penetrations to ensure a tidy, durable finish.

The system was then connected to the electrical supply and tested for continuity and safety before we began the commissioning process.

Step 5: Testing and Commissioning

Once installation was complete, we carried out a series of performance and safety checks to ensure the new Fujitsu system was running as expected. This included:

• Testing both cooling and heating modes.
• Verifying refrigerant pressure levels and line temperatures.
• Checking remote control functionality, airflow direction, fan speeds, and swing modes.
• Ensuring the drain was functioning with no leaks.

The Fujitsu system passed all tests with flying colours and immediately began delivering powerful, quiet air conditioning to the main living area.

Step 6: Handover and Customer Education

As part of our service, we provided the homeowner with a full handover. This included:

• Demonstrating how to use the remote control to adjust temperature, timer functions, fan speed, and energy-saving modes.
• Providing tips on how to maintain indoor air quality by regularly cleaning filters.
• Explaining how to get the best efficiency from the system by setting moderate temperature targets and using the timer settings to pre-cool or pre-heat spaces.

A Noticeable Upgrade in Everyday Comfort

The replacement of the old system with a Fujitsu 5.0kW Comfort Series split system has transformed the climate control experience in this Ashtonfield home. The residents now enjoy faster, more consistent cooling in summer and reliable warmth in winter, all while using less energy and enjoying quieter operation.
