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.

Humidity plays a big part in New Zealand's climate and is often a factor in effecting our comfort levels at home. Fortunately, your heat pump / air conditioner can do more than just keep indoor spaces cool. It can also be used to help manager indoor moisture levels and reduce the impact of humidity with the help of dry mode.
What is dry mode?
Fujitsu General heat pumps / air conditioning units offer a 'dry mode' function, where the fan operates at a low speed, drawing air through the unit to remove moisture from the room. Dry mode is ideal for days when the weather is humid, yet the temperature is too cool to use cooling mode.
Benefits of dry mode:
There are three benefits to using dry mode that make it a vital setting for your heat pump / air conditioning unit:
Energy Efficiency: When using dry mode, your heat pump / air conditioner's compressor runs at a slower pace, so less energy is required.
Improves Comfort: By lowering humidity levels and drawing out excess moisture from the home, dry mode allows you to create more comfortable spaces and minimise the fatigue and sweatiness often associated with a humid environment.
Healthy Indoor Environment: Humidity generates excessive moisture, which can affect the air quality through the growth of mould and mildew. Reducing humidity through the use of dry mode can help maintain a healthy indoor environment.
When is the best time to use dry mode:
The best time to use the dry mode feature to ventilate the house is when it's raining or is about to rain, and the house feels 'sticky', that is when humidity is high yet it's not too warm.
How to locate the dry mode button:
On your remote, locate the 'mode' button and press until 'dry' appears on the display.
