Supply and Install a Ducted Air Conditioning System

Comfort You Can Count On: Atkinsons Air Hervey Bay Delivers a Fujitsu High Static 10.5 kW Ducted System to a Lodge at Scarness

When the owners of a coastal lodge in Scarness, QLD, sought a comprehensive climate‑control upgrade for their accommodation rooms, they turned to Atkinsons Air Hervey Bay, a Fujitsu specialist with deep experience across Hervey Bay and the Fraser Coast. Their goal was to deliver year-round, whisper-quiet comfort to multiple guest rooms using a robust, efficient ducted system.

Selecting the Ideal Solution: Why Fujitsu High Static Single Phase 10.5 kW

Following an obligation‑free consultation and room‑by‑room load assessment, Atkinsons Air recommended the Fujitsu High Static Single Phase 10.5 kW system, model SET‑ARTG36LHTA (indoor unit ARTG36LHTA and outdoor unit AOTG36LATL) with wired UTY‑RVNYN backlit controller. High static pressure capability allows the system to reliably serve numerous branch ducts, essential in a lodge layout with several rooms. Operating on single‑phase power, the unit offers greater electrical flexibility and simplified installation in existing buildings.

Key specifications:

  • Cooling: 10.50 kW (range 5.0–11.4 kW)
  • Heating: 12.10 kW (range 5.1–14.0 kW)
  • EER ~ 3.3, COP ~ 3.67
  • Quiet airflow: ~41 dBA high / 36 dBA low indoors
  • Static range: 60–210 Pa, enabling multiple outlets
  • Certified to operate in cooling mode up to 46 °C ambient—ideal for Queensland summers.

Ducted Air Conditioner Supply and Pre-Installation Planning

As a registered Fujitsu service agent, Atkinsons Air sourced the full SET-ARTG36LHTA kit directly, even offering a five-year manufacturer’s warranty on parts and labour. The planning phase included duct layout design tailored for Scarness lodge rooms, zoning options, thermostat placement, and electrical feed considerations, leveraging the high static capacity for flexibility.

Professional Installation on‑Site in Scarness

On installation day, the ARCtick‑certified team from Hervey Bay arrived onsite in Scarness with all tools and components. They installed the indoor ARTG36LHTA unit discreetly above the ceiling cavity, routing colourbond or PVC ducting to the designated number of supply and return outlets for each lodge room. The high static fan performance ensured even air distribution despite duct length and bends.

The outdoor condenser (AOTG36LATL) was placed on a concrete or elevated PVC mounting pad with an external weatherproof isolator switch, within optimal proximity to indoor piping to comply with warranty specifications. Refrigerant piping and controls were carefully run, sealed and insulated, while condensate drains were directed to appropriate floor waste points. Electrical wiring was installed up to 15 m standard (longer runs adjusted as needed) as per Australian wiring rules.

Throughout the day, the installers maintained a clean site, removed packaging and debris, and coordinated with lodge management to minimise disruption to guests.

Commissioning & Client Demonstration

Post‑installation commissioning included:

  • Verifying refrigerant pressure and topping up if needed
  • Testing electrical circuit integrity and grounding
  • Calibrating static pressure automatically to match the duct layout
  • Configuring zone control options if kitchens or shared spaces require separate outlets
  • Demonstrating functions via the backlit UTY‑RVNYN controller: temperature set‑points, timer settings, economy or demand‑response modes, auto change‑over, and filter‑reminder alert.

Guests of the lodge now enjoy restful comfort: minimal fan noise (~36 dBA low‑speed), consistent room temperature, and discreet ceiling‑vent airflow. Heating mode assured warm winter mornings.

Customer Satisfaction & Aftercare

Lodge management quickly praised Atkinsons Air for professionalism, tidy installation, and excellent communication throughout the process. Atkinsons Air stood by their 100% workmanship guarantee and offered ongoing technical and maintenance support tailored to commercial use, especially important in hospitality applications.

They also provided seasonal service plans, recommendations include inspecting filters, pressure levels, condensate drains and duct cleanliness every six to twelve months to maintain peak efficiency and indoor air quality.

Energy Efficiency and Long‑Term Value

The inverter technology, R32 refrigerant, and high static design deliver efficient whole‑lodge climate control with low power draw. EER and COP values reflect good energy performance even in hot climates. Economy mode and automatic fan adjustment further limit operational costs across multiple rooms.

Over time, lodge operating costs decrease, not only via efficient electrical consumption but by extending equipment lifespan through regular servicing, backed by Fujitsu’s strong warranty package. As guests, comfort becomes consistent; for owners, confidence becomes lasting.

In Conclusion

This installation at Scarness perfectly demonstrates how Atkinsons Air Hervey Bay combines expert system selection, Fujitsu’s High Static Single Phase ducted technology, and professional installation to deliver quiet, efficient and reliable lodging comfort. The 10.5 kW Fujitsu High Static system met the multiple‑room layout with distribution flexibility, low‑noise operation, and simple control, providing both guests and managers peace of mind.
