Supply and Install a Ducted Air Conditioner
Tailored Climate Control in Coastal Queensland: Atkinsons Air Hervey Bay Installs Fujitsu Airstage 12.5kW Ducted Air Conditioning in Dundowran Beach Home
In the idyllic seaside suburb of Dundowran Beach, Queensland, comfort meets innovation thanks to a recent installation by Atkinsons Air Hervey Bay. The trusted local HVAC specialists supplied and installed a Fujitsu Airstage 12.5kW ducted air conditioning system, featuring a 6-zone configuration and cutting-edge anywAIR multi-room controller. This comprehensive solution has transformed the home into a smart, efficient sanctuary, ready to handle Queensland’s coastal climate year-round.
The homeowners, who recently completed renovations on their large, modern property, sought a powerful, discreet, and energy-efficient climate control system. With varying room usage throughout the day and an open-plan design, they needed the flexibility of zoned comfort, along with the convenience of remote access and automation. Atkinsons Air delivered a solution that ticked all the boxes and exceeded expectations.
Project Overview: Customised Comfort Across Six Zones
The goal was to install a ducted air conditioning system capable of servicing the entire home while maintaining flexibility, energy efficiency, and ease of use. After an on-site consultation and heat load analysis, the Atkinsons Air team recommended the Fujitsu Airstage 12.5kW ducted system, a commercial-grade residential solution renowned for its robust performance, energy-saving features, and quiet operation.
The home was divided into six independently controlled zones, including:
- Master bedroom
- Guest bedrooms
- Open-plan living and dining area
- Kitchen
- Home office
- Media room
This zoning approach ensures that only the areas in use are actively cooled or heated, helping to significantly reduce energy consumption without compromising on comfort.
Why Fujitsu Airstage?
The Fujitsu Airstage J-Series 12.5kW ducted system was selected for its ability to deliver consistent temperature control to large spaces, even under demanding Queensland conditions. It’s designed for high performance, whisper-quiet operation, and excellent energy efficiency.
Key features include:
- 12.5kW capacity for large or multi-room applications
- High static pressure fans, ensuring optimal airflow even through long duct runs
- Advanced inverter compressor technology for smooth temperature regulation
- Compact indoor unit design, perfect for ceiling cavity installations
- Quiet operation, essential for bedrooms and media rooms
Built with Fujitsu’s renowned reliability, the Airstage series offers premium indoor comfort with minimal environmental impact, ideal for coastal homes where performance and durability matter.
Smart Control with Fujitsu anywAir Multi-Room Controller
To enhance usability and control, the installation also included the anywAIR multi-room controller, a state-of-the-art smart interface that gives homeowners full command over each of the six zones.
Via the anyAIR app, users can:
- Switch zones on/off individually
- Adjust temperatures by room
- Schedule operating times and temperature changes

Ducted Air Installation Process
Precision, Quality, and Minimal Disruption
The Atkinsons Air Hervey Bay team conducted the installation over several days, ensuring every detail was executed to the highest standard.
Steps included:
- Site Assessment and System Design
After examining the home’s layout, insulation levels, and ceiling space, the team designed a custom duct layout that ensured balanced airflow throughout all zones. - Ducting and Indoor Unit Installation
Premium insulated ducting was installed in the ceiling cavity, with air vents discreetly positioned to blend with the home’s aesthetics. The central indoor unit was mounted in a well-ventilated roof space for accessibility and airflow efficiency. - Outdoor Unit Setup
The outdoor condenser was installed on a reinforced concrete pad at the rear of the property, shielded from harsh coastal winds but with ample ventilation. - Wiring and Zone Control Integration
Each zone was connected to a central control system, with the anywAIR interface programmed and tested. Wall-mounted zone switches were also installed for manual control. - Testing and Commissioning
The system was fully tested for refrigerant levels, pressure, zoning response, and temperature accuracy. The team also ensured the anywAIR app functioned correctly on the homeowner’s devices. - Client Handover and Training
Atkinsons Air technicians took the time to guide the homeowners through the interface, app usage, zone settings, and maintenance procedures, ensuring they felt confident operating the system.
Outstanding Results: Efficient, Zoned Comfort for Every Room
Since the installation, the homeowners have reported a dramatic improvement in indoor comfort. The ducted system cools and heats the home rapidly and quietly, while the zone control allows them to condition only the areas they use, saving money on energy costs and reducing wear on the system.
The sleek ceiling vents, silent airflow, and absence of bulky wall units preserve the home’s clean, modern aesthetic. Meanwhile, the anywAIR controller puts total climate control in the palm of their hands, whether they’re home or away.
