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.

Buying the right air conditioner for your home can be confusing. With so many different options, features and sizes, it’s hard to find the right balance of performance, efficiency and price. Purchasing and installing a unit that is not sized correctly for your room can result in decreased performance and potentially higher energy bills.
To avoid these inefficiencies, it is important you spend the time choosing the correct home heat pump so you can heat and cool your home as efficiently as possible.
Here are some handy tips on how to find the right size heat pump for your home, ensuring you install the most cost-effective and efficient solution.
How to Choose an Air Conditioner Size For Your Home
Choosing the right heat pump size for your home is essential to strike the perfect balance between comfort and efficiency. Air conditioners that are too large will ultimately cost more to run for no measurable gain in performance. On the other hand, choosing a unit that is too small will not provide enough heating or cooling power to maintain a comfortable temperature in your home. Here are our top tips on how to pick a heat pump size that perfectly fits your home.
Measure your home’s size and layout
Before speaking to an air conditioning specialist, it’s a good idea to know the number and size of rooms that require heating and cooling; the direction your home is facing and the amount of sun it receives and whether it’s insulated. These are all important factors when picking the right unit.
Request a heat load assessment
A heat load assessment is an important component of the quote process conducted by an air conditioning specialist. This is to ensure the correct size and type of heat pump is specified and installed, providing the user with the most efficient solution.
Choose a trusted and awarded brand
Look for air conditioning units that have a stamp of approval. The Reader’s Digest Most Trusted Brand is based on consumer opinions of which brands are trustworthy. Fujitsu General has been voted the Most Trusted air conditioning brand in 2020 and was awarded Highly Commended from 2021 to 2024.
Consult with a specialist
It’s important that you don’t install heat pumps yourself, as the refrigerants can be harmful to the environment and to yourself. Make sure your system is installed by an appropriately licensed technician. Fujitsu General has a list of Fujitsu installers where you can request a quote from by entering in your postcode.
After installation, the installer is required to provide a demonstration showing how to correctly use the heat pump / air conditioning unit and controller. This helps users understand optimal temperature settings, how to set up weekly timers to only cool the home when required, and how to change reverse cycle units from cooling to heating mode at the change of seasons. And if you still have trouble, you can always give our Fujitsu Assist team a call.
Factor in energy efficiency for cost savings
Energy efficiency should be a top priority when purchasing a new air conditioner for your home. The most efficient units on the market can significantly reduce your household electricity bills while still providing supreme comfort throughout summer and winter.
Fujitsu General heat pump / air conditioners offer numerous energy saving features, including programmable timers, an economy mode which operates the unit while using the least amount of power possible and zoning capabilities on selected models. These advanced technologies help to minimise energy wastage and provide year round comfort.
The efficiency of your heat pump can be further enhanced by ensuring your unit is regularly serviced, ensuring airflow within it is not restricted. You can find a service agent here to ensure your unit remains in optimal operating condition.
Each unit has a star rating for heating mode and cooling mode. The better the star rating, the more energy efficient the unit performs. Some models in Fujitsu General’s new Lifestyle range of wall mounted units have an improved star rating in both heating and cooling mode.
Explore units with smart features
Smart, connected features are becoming increasingly common in residential heat pumps. Fujitsu General’s anywAiR technology Wi-Fi adaptor II, enables you to control many of the unit’s functions remotely, improving energy management, in-home comfort and smart home connectivity.
Wi-Fi-controlled heat pumps offer a complete, connected and efficient solution to whole-home comfort.
Use the Fujitsu Assist Product Selector Tool
If you have decided to upgrade your heat pump to one of Fujitsu General’s latest heat pumps / air conditioners, you are probably wondering which exact units are best for your home. Fortunately, we have developed the Fujitsu Assist Product Selector Tool, which enables you to compare specifications of different units that suit the approximate size of your home.
While the tool is useful as part of your research, we recommend that you still have a heat load assessment conducted on your property by one of our installers before making a final decision. The results of the assessment may differ from the recommendations of the Assist Tool, depending on factors such as light and heat sources and the overall layout of your home.
Invest in a Fujitsu for a Comfortable Home
Choosing the right heat pump is a process made far less challenging with Fujitsu General. Look for heat pumps / air conditioning units that are energy efficient and equipped with a range of smart features to ensure year round comfort and ease of use. Remember to consult with a specialist to determine what unit will be most suitable for your home, however you can also do your own research using resources such as the Fujitsu Assist Product Selector Tool.
