Split System Air Conditioner Installation Anna Bay NSW

Supply and Install a Fujitsu Split System Air Conditioner

Decommissioning and Installation of a 6.0kW Fujitsu Split System in Anna Bay, NSW

Valley Air Conditioning was recently engaged to upgrade the air conditioning system in the master bedroom of a residential home in Anna Bay, NSW. The homeowners were experiencing performance issues with their existing unit and wanted a modern, efficient solution that would provide reliable comfort year-round. After assessing the space and the client’s requirements, Valley Air Conditioning recommended decommissioning the old system and installing a new 6.0kW Fujitsu ASTG22KMTC split system air conditioner.

This project involved careful planning, safe removal of the existing equipment, and a high-quality installation designed to withstand the local coastal environment.

Decommissioning the Existing Air Conditioner

The first stage of the job was the safe decommissioning of the existing air conditioning system. This process is critical to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and to prevent damage to the property.

Valley Air Conditioning technicians isolated the power supply and safely recovered the refrigerant from the system in accordance with Australian standards. Refrigerant recovery is an essential step, as releasing refrigerant into the atmosphere is harmful to the environment and strictly prohibited. Once the refrigerant was removed, the indoor and outdoor units were carefully disconnected.

The indoor unit was removed with minimal disruption to the master bedroom, protecting surrounding walls, flooring, and furnishings. Outside, the old condenser was dismantled and removed from its mounting point. All redundant pipework, cabling, and brackets were taken away, leaving the area clean and ready for the new installation.

The decommissioned system was then responsibly disposed of, with recyclable components separated and processed appropriately.

Selecting the Right System for the Space

Following the removal of the old unit, Valley Air Conditioning prepared the site for the new split system air conditioner installation. The Fujitsu ASTG22KMTC 6.0kW split system was selected due to its strong performance, quiet operation, and energy efficiency, making it well-suited to a master bedroom environment.

A 6.0kW capacity provides ample cooling and heating power for larger bedrooms or rooms with higher heat loads, ensuring fast temperature control without overworking the system. Fujitsu systems are also known for their reliability, which was an important consideration for the homeowners.

Indoor Unit Installation

The indoor unit was mounted in an optimal position within the master bedroom to promote even airflow and maximise comfort. Careful placement helps prevent hot or cold spots and ensures the system operates efficiently.

Valley Air Conditioning technicians installed new refrigerant pipework and insulated it thoroughly to minimise energy loss and prevent condensation issues. The drainage system was also designed to allow for effective removal of condensation, reducing the risk of leaks or water damage over time.

All electrical connections were completed to manufacturer specifications, ensuring safe and reliable operation.

Outdoor Unit Placement and Protection

Special consideration was given to the installation of the outdoor unit, particularly given Anna Bay’s coastal location. The condenser was mounted on a solid concrete block, providing a stable and level base that keeps the unit elevated above ground level.

Adjustable feet were used to fine-tune the unit’s positioning, ensuring proper alignment and reducing vibration during operation. This not only improves performance but also helps minimise operational noise.

To further protect the system, Rust Guard protection was applied to the outdoor unit. Coastal environments can accelerate corrosion due to salt air, so this additional protective coating plays a key role in extending the lifespan of the air conditioner and maintaining its appearance and functionality over time.

Commissioning and Testing

Once installation was complete, the system was thoroughly tested. Valley Air Conditioning technicians checked refrigerant pressures, electrical connections, airflow, and temperature output to ensure everything was operating as intended.

The system was then commissioned in line with Fujitsu’s guidelines, confirming optimal performance in both cooling and heating modes. The homeowners were shown how to operate the unit, including using the remote control, adjusting settings, and maintaining the system for long-term reliability.

A Reliable, Energy-Efficient Upgrade

The completed installation has provided the homeowners with a significant upgrade in comfort, efficiency, and reliability. The new Fujitsu split system delivers quiet, effective climate control tailored to the master bedroom, while the robust outdoor installation ensures durability in coastal conditions.

Valley Air Conditioning once again demonstrated their commitment to quality workmanship, attention to detail, and customer satisfaction, delivering a professional air conditioning solution perfectly suited to this Anna Bay home.
