Supply and Install a New Split System Air Conditioner

Case Study: Fujitsu ASTH09KNCA 2.5 kW Split System Installation

Project Overview

The homeowner in Kawungan, a suburb of Hervey Bay, contacted Atkinsons Air Hervey Bay seeking a reliable solution to improve bedroom comfort during Queensland’s warm and humid climate. With summer temperatures frequently exceeding 30 °C, the client wanted an efficient, quiet, and energy-saving air conditioning system tailored to a mid-sized bedroom.

After an on-site consultation, the Fujitsu ASTH09KNCA 2.5 kW split system was selected. This model is well regarded for residential applications due to its combination of energy efficiency, quiet operation, and precise temperature control, ideal for sleeping spaces. The client’s priorities were clear: comfort, minimal installation disruption, and long-term performance.

Pre-Installation Consultation

Atkinsons Air Hervey Bay conducted a detailed site assessment before recommending equipment. The goals were to:

• Determine the optimal system size for the bedroom’s dimensions and insulation levels.
• Evaluate site constraints such as wall orientation, access routes for cable and refrigerant lines, and proximity to outdoor noise-sensitive areas.
• Discuss client preferences, including remote control options, air filtration features, and aesthetic placement.

The assessment confirmed that a 2.5 kW capacity unit was appropriate for the bedroom’s size, delivering sufficient cooling without oversizing (which can cause short cycling and reduced efficiency). The Fujitsu ASTH09KNCA’s high energy rating also contributed to reduced running costs, an important factor for the homeowner.

A written quote outlining equipment, installation scope, warranties, and timeline was provided and accepted.

Supply and Delivery

Once approved, Atkinsons Air Hervey Bay ordered the Fujitsu ASTH09KNCA. The Fujitsu brand was chosen for its reliability, performance history, and strong after-sales support.

• Delivery: Equipment arrived on schedule.
• Inspection: Technicians inspected the unit for damage and verified model specifications before mobilising to the site.
• Preparation: The installation team confirmed the location of the indoor evaporator unit and outdoor condenser, planned access for service panels, and prepared materials to minimise noise and disruption.

Air Conditioner Installation Process

On installation day, Atkinsons Air Hervey Bay’s licensed air conditioner installer technicians followed a structured workflow:

1. Preparing the Indoor Unit

• A stud wall bracket was precisely measured and mounted on the bedroom wall, ensuring the unit would be level and unobtrusive.
• A hole was drilled through the external wall for refrigeration lines, electrical cabling, and condensate piping.
• Protective coverings were placed over the flooring and furniture to prevent dust and damage.

2. Mounting the Outdoor Condenser

• The outdoor unit was installed on durable wall brackets with vibration isolators to minimise noise transmission.
• Location was chosen to optimise airflow and service access, while reducing visibility from neighbouring properties.

3. Connecting Refrigerant and Electrical Systems

• Refrigerant lines were carefully routed and insulated to reduce heat gain.
• Electrical connections were installed to Australian standards (AS/NZS 3000).
• A dedicated power supply and circuit breaker were included where required.

4. System Commissioning

After all connections were complete:

• The system was evacuated and tested for leaks using a vacuum pump.
• Refrigerant charge was verified.
• The unit was powered up, and airflow, temperature, and controls were tested.
• The homeowner was shown how to use the remote, schedule timers, and operate energy-saving modes.
