IS A FUJITSU AIR CONDITIONING UNIT EFFICIENT?
Yes. When compared with an electric heater, a Fujitsu air conditioning unit is roughly 4 times more efficient than plug in heaters. Most modern systems have a CoP (coefficient of performance) of 4 (roughly). So for every Kilowatt (kW) of energy used, it will produce roughly 4kW output . The Fujitsu 3.5kW airconditioner has an energy rating of A .
HOW ARE THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNITS POSITIONED
The indoor unit has to be positioned a minimum of 100mm from the ceiling with a 150mm gap from the sides (this aides accessibility for maintenance). The outdoor unit must be positioned with a minimum 650mm clearance to the front and 300mm at the sides, to aid airflow, maximising efficiency from the system.
I LIVE NEAR THE COAST AND AM WORRIED ABOUT THE COIL RUSTING?
Fujitsu have the coated outdoor unit coils with Blue-Fin treatment, which will minimise corrosion to the coil from rain and sea spray.
*Please consult the technical literature that comes with the air conditioner to help you correctly maintain air conditioner.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE UNIT IS TOO SMALL FOR THE ROOM?
If a unit is too small for the room, the unit will be required to operate harder to achieve and maintain the desired temperature, which may cause extra wear and tear on its components and increase running costs.
*Please use the economatch on this kiosk to help you choose the right air conditioner for you.
WHAT HAPPENS IF THE UNIT IS TOO LARGE FOR THE ROOM?
If a unit is too big for the room, it will cause the unit to "short cycle", which means the output of the unit will ramp up and down too frequently. This can lead to fluctuations in the room temperature and excessive noise.
*Please use the economatch on this kiosk to help you choose the right air conditioner for you.
CAN I HAVE A WIRED CONTROLLER FOR MY AIR CONDITIONER INSTEAD OF A WIRELESS ONE?
Unfortunately, we do not provide a wired controller. Some Fujitsu models have different control options available, in some cases you may need to buy an optional part to allow this.
*Please consult with your salesperson in order to find out the options that best suit your needs.
SHOULD I JUST REPLACE THE CURRENT MACHINE WITH A NEW ONE OF THE SAME CAPACITY OR SHOULD I RE-CHECK THE SIZING?
It is always best to have an Air Conditioning specialist check your requirements as some of the factors may have changed over time. Some home appliances may require consideration and also any changes to floor plan or insulation should be considered.
*Please use the economatch guide on this kiosk to help you choose the right air conditioner for you.
HOW DURABLE IS THE OUTDOOR UNIT TO SUN/WIND/RAIN?
Fujitsu's Outdoor Units are designed to live outside your home or business, as long as they have been installed and secured correctly these units can withstand day to day wind, rain and sun.
WHAT IS THE DEFROST OPERATION?
When outdoor temperature is very low with high humidity, frost may form on the outdoor unit during the heating operation, and it could reduce the operating performance of the product.
*For frost protection, a microcomputer-controlled automatic defrost function is equipped in this air conditioner.
If frost forms, the air conditioner will temporarily stop, and defrost circuit will operate briefly (maximum of 15 minutes.)
*OPERATION indicator on the indoor unit blinks during this operation.
If frost forms on the outdoor unit after the heating operation, the outdoor unit will stop automatically after it operates for a few minutes. Then the automatic defrosting operation starts.
WHAT MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED FROM ME FOR MY NEW FUJITSU AIR CONDITIONER?
At a minimum you need to clean and maintain the air filters for the indoor unit of your air conditioner as any build-up of dust or dirt will restrict airflow. Please ask your installer to give you a demonstration on how to take care of your air conditioner.
DOES A FUJITSU AIR CONDITIONER EVER NEED RE-GASSING?
If a Fujitsu air conditioning is installed correctly then it should never need to be regassed. There is no such thing as stale gas or expired gas, the only reason for recharging will be if there is a leak in the system and this should be checked by a qualified Air Conditioning technician.
CAN I LEAVE DOORS AND WINDOWS OPEN WHILE OPERATING THE UNIT?
The best way to operate your air conditioner is to make sure all external doors and windows are closed. This ensures that the conditioned air stays inside the desired area to maintain the temperature in your room that suits you.
