To ensure your heat pump / air conditioner continues to efficiently heat and or cool your room, it’s highly recommended that you maintain your system regularly by keeping the filters clean and get your heat pump / air conditioning system periodically serviced by a licensed technician. There are a number of reasons why you may require maintenance of your heat pump / air conditioner, such as:
Ensuring filters are clean of dust and debris
Inspecting the drain to ensure no blockages or dirt build up
Inspecting cleaning of the outdoor unit and coils to ensure no restrictions to airflow
Inspecting the unit to ensure there are no abnormal noises
Checking the operation to ensure the unit is operating efficiently
Selecting the right heat pump / air conditioning unit for your home can be a complex process, as it involves several factors, such as the size of your home, its insulation levels, and the number of rooms you need to heat or cool. For larger homes, a whole home heat pump / air conditioner may be necessary to ensure adequate and consistent heating or cooling throughout the entire house. However, for smaller homes or individual rooms, a small heat pump / air conditioning unit may be a more practical and cost-effective solution. Ultimately, it is important to choose a unit that is appropriately sized for the space it will be used in.
At Fujitsu, we understand the importance of selecting the right size residential heating and air conditioning unit for your home, which is why we offer a range of solutions to meet your specific needs. Whether you're trying to accommodate for a single room, multiple rooms or a whole home, our team of experts can help you determine the appropriate size and type of heat pump / air conditioner solution that’s right for you.
Investing in a high-quality and efficient heat pump / air conditioner, such as Fujitsu's products, can certainly add value to your home. Not only do these units provide a comfortable living environment, but modern, energy-efficient, and effective heat pumps / air conditioners can also help increase the value of your property. Potential buyers often look for homes with updated and efficient heating and cooling systems, and having a good quality heat pump / air conditioner can make your property more attractive to buyers. Similarly, energy-efficient heat pumps / air conditioners can lower your energy bills, which is an attractive feature for potential buyers.
By investing in a heat pump / air conditioner for your specific environment, you can enjoy a comfortable living space while potentially increasing the value of your home.
While residential heat pumps / air conditioners do consume electricity, their energy consumption can vary based on several factors such as the size of the unit, the efficiency rating, and frequency of use. However, modern heat pumps / air conditioners have come a long way in terms of energy efficiency. The best heat pumps / air conditioners today are designed to consume less energy while still providing effective heating or cooling.
Fujitsu products have Zoned Energy Rating Labels to display how the unit will perform over a range of temperatures and allows an annual electricity figure to be calculated. For example, the 09 Lifestyle range heat pump / air conditioner has 5.5 stars cooling and 3 stars heating in a cold climate, which is what New Zealand is zoned for. Learn more information about the NEW Zoned Energy Rating Label here. By choosing an energy-efficient heat pump / air conditioner, you can lower your energy bills while still enjoying comfortable indoor temperatures. Additionally, regular maintenance of your unit can help ensure it is functioning at optimal efficiency, further reducing energy consumption.
Yes, a heat pump / air conditioner can reduce humidity in your home. Heat pumps / air conditioners have the ability to extract moisture from the air as they operate, which can help reduce humidity levels indoors. The process of dehumidification occurs when warm, humid air passes over the cold evaporator coil of the heat pump. As the air cools, the moisture in the air condenses and collects on the coil, effectively removing humidity from the indoor air. You can switch your heat pump / air conditioner into dry mode once the desired temperature has been met to further reduce humidity.
However, it's important to note that heat pumps / air conditioners primarily focus on maintaining the desired temperature in a space. While they can help with dehumidification to some extent, they may not be as effective as dedicated dehumidifiers in extremely humid conditions.

Heat pump / air conditioners are an effective way of providing a comfortable environment in your home during the hot and cold months. However, your home heat pump system requires regular maintenance to ensure it continues to heat and cool your home effectively. The same maintenance procedures apply if your home is fitted with a ducted heat pump / air conditioner. Watch our informative video and read our tips on maintaining your heat pump / air conditioner to keep it performing at its best.
How to Clean Heat Pump Filters
Cleaning the air filter on your heat pump / air conditioning system is a simple job that prolongs the life of the unit. You can clean the system’s filter using one of the following methods.
The easiest way of cleaning your heat pump / air conditioning filter is with a vacuum cleaner. Remove the filter from the unit and vacuum any lint or dust from the filter before reinstalling it. This method is ideal if the filter is only lightly dirty or when time and space are limited.
For a more intense clean, remove the filter and wash it with warm water and a mild detergent. This will clear any heavier dirt from the filter and ensure your heat pump / air conditioning system continues to perform effectively.
For a ducted air conditioner, the filter can be easily removed by undoing the hinged return air grille frame and sliding out the filter. Wash with warm, soapy water and allow to air dry before replacing the filter and repositioning the grille.
How Often Do Heat Pumps Need Servicing?
While cleaning the filter is an effective first step in heat pump maintenance, your system will require more intense servicing from time to time.
Professional heat pump services are recommended every one to two years, depending on how often your heat pump / air conditioner is used, the climate of your area and the condition of the unit.
A combination of regular professional servicing and DIY maintenance will ensure your heat pump / air conditioner continues to function efficiently throughout harsh weather conditions. Contact Fujitsu today to organise a heat pump service to be carried out by a licensed technician.
Additional Tips on Maintaining Your Heat Pump / Air Conditioner
Inspect Your Ducted Heat Pump / Air Conditioner System
Ensure that the ducts in your heat pump / air conditioning system are sealed and insulated. Leaking ducts can cause energy losses, which in turn reduces the efficiency of your heat pump / air conditioning unit.
Check for Ice or Snow
In winter, it is important to ensure that the outdoor unit is not surrounded by excessive levels of ice or snow. If ice or snow do build up around your heat pump / air conditioning outdoor unit, gently remove them to prevent blockages and inefficient operation.
Avoid DIY Repairs
While basic maintenance can be performed by homeowners, it is important that major services and repairs be carried out by licensed technicians. Incorrect repairs can lead to larger issues in the future and void the warranty on your heat pump / air conditioner.
