  • I am looking for another split system to work with the existing Compressor (supporting 2 split system) installed at home.

    Can this be achievable ? Or will i need to buy another compressor ?

    • This one will include compressor. Not sure where you'd by an AC unit without one. I'd expect your compressor, if it does support multiple units, to only support one or two specific models.

    • +1

      You may get a problem with the signal the indoor unit sends to the outdoor compressor. Most outdoor units only work with specific indoor units. There are some commercially available outdoor units that can work with other indoor units but its not economically viable. Just buy a new split unit set

    • +1

      We have had dual heads before in the Daikin brand.
      However, they usually don't work out any cheaper.
      they main reason to buy a dual head, one compressor is to save on space outside.

  • we have one of those old school box shaped air con unit installed at our home. although it doesn't work now.
    is there anything else I need to purchase on top of this unit to get this going? (beside installing it).
    thanks

    • no, it'll come with the outdoor inverter and the internal head unit

    • +2

      Uhm,little confused, I hope you aren't expecting to be able to install this yourself? leaving aside the legal and licencing issues with that, you will require (at a minimum) copper pipe to join the 2 units together, a pump to remove air and moisture from the lines, all sorts of other specialized refrigeration tools etc…

      Additionally, you say "at your home". Where exactly, as a 2.5kw unit is a pretty small unit and is really on suitable for a mid size bedroom at best.

      • we live in a small 2 bedroom unit. our old air con is in the lounge (3x3) rougly in size.
        I am definitely not going to install this myself. but wanted to know what other costs are involved (besides the installation cost)

        • No probs. Yeah besides installation you should be right to go, more or less.

          If the lounge room is easily enclosed and by closing off the other doors in the unit you don't increase the area being cooled significantly ( including hallways) then it will probably be fine. I'd nudge it up one size if the area is larger, mainly so the smaller unit doesn't have to work harder (ie louder) all the time to keep on top of it.

          Also if the existing unit is installed in a wall, don't forget to factor in the brick and plaster repairs into your costs.
          Try covering the bricked up hole with the outdoor unit to make it less noticable (unless you are lucky enough to perfectly match the bricks)

        • @raydragon: Hi. What is the pump for? I got a Panasonic unit installed last year and the guy connected everything released a little bit of gas (he claimed to get the air out of the pipe) then tightened everything. He had taped the ends of the pipe though apparently to keep the dust out on the pipe when he bought it in?

          The AC works fine but there is smell of wet socks when it idles. Do you think this is due to moisture not being removed at the time of install?

        • @El Grande:
          Doubt the smell is to do with the moisture in the lines, more likely the fan or filter needs a clean and has some mould on it or similar ( some of the aircons i have seen from where i used to work are truly shocking and disgusting)

          The point of the pump and vacuuming out the lines is so that there is no moisture to mix in with the compressor oil/gas. Water will generate corrosion which, over time, isn't what you want to happen to the guts of your aircon compressor…..

          Your installer deliberately releasing gas to flush it will get him into a worlds of bother if he is caught doing it. It certainly wouldn't have been as effective as removing the air with the pump but probably did remove a fair bit of the air in the system.
          Additionally the pump allows you to test the system for leaks (generally in pipe connections) by checking to see if it holds the vacuum BEFORE you release the gas from the compressor into the lines. If you don't check it and you have a leak the only way you will know is when the system stops cooling or heating…. Air con Gas is expensive to replace… best to not lose it in the first place.

    • +2

      It'll need to be professionally installed unlike a DIY installing a box unit. This will cost you about $700-800 probably on top of the purchase price. I recommend split systems over box units - much more efficient and much much quieter!!

      Brick in the hole in the wall and then install one of these! Just to reiterate, you cannot DIY install this, it has to be done by a licenced plumber and electrician combined.

  • +3

    A very good unit, I can highly recommend it. At this price the unit costs only about the same as installation, wow!

    • -1

      $500 for installation is a rip off

      • +3

        it is a rip off but its still the cheapest price installation is offered for, I got 7 quotes and most were $800.

      • +1

        It sure is. But how to avoid it? When I shopped around before buying mine that was the going rate quoted by basically everyone.

        I ended up buying at RRP from HN with a $200 installation promotion. Same savings as this deal. Oh, and there was some Amex cashback which made it slightly better.

      • +3

        You think $500 is a ripoff, check out bunnings!

        http://www.bunnings.com.au/our-services/in-home/air-conditio…

        • +3

          Wow, only $639? That's actually pretty cheap…

      • The installation fee should also cover the costs of various parts like shielded copper piping, ducting for pipes, running a new electrical circuit (which my mate who does this stuff always advises). I very much doubt you will get a decent installation for any less than $500.

        • +3

          How much do you expect it to cost for both a licensed plumber AND electrician to come and do a job for you that will take between 2-4 hours plus their materials?? I think $500 is pretty cheap to be honest…

    Read the review on HN website

      So this vibrates? Anyone that has this A/C like to comment ?

  • +1

    Would this be ok for a 4m x 5m room?

    • Bedroom? Yes.

      Living room? Maybe.

      Generally allow 80-100 watts, per sq m, for bedrooms and 125 watts,per sq m,for lounge/living rooms.

    • Providing you can close the room, yes.

    • Would this be ok for a 4m x 5m room?

      Unlikely, unless you don't care how well it works. In Sydney I'd only use a small unit like this in a kid's bedroom, maybe 3m x 4m at most.

      I prefer to have enough grunt to make the room cool quickly, not needing to run the A/C for an hour to cool the room down each time (on the offchance it might need cooling).

      With 20m², my recommendation is that you can get away with 2.5kW if there are small windows, it faces south, there is good wall and ceiling insulation, the floor is concrete or well insulated if off-ground and you can seal the room completely and leave the unit to run for some time to pull the temps down.

      • I need it just for heating

  • +1

    I got this air con back in March when there was a eBay 20% off sale and $150 cashback going on. It's pretty good so far, happy with it.

  • I need 3 of them, can i claim all 3 of this?

    • Best guess, probably not as one purchase.

      If it is anything like a recent good guys offering on a similar deal on some samsungs then it's probably one per "name on invoice" so as long as you get 3 separate invoices with different names on it you would then be able to do it, with the above offer i got my parents to put the 2nd one under their name for the 2 i wanted.
      It will be buried in the terms and conditions somewhere as to whether you can do it though, but doing it as i have described would likely work.

      • Hi,

        Says Multiple claims permitted, subject to the following: (a) only one (1) claim permitted per Eligible Product purchased during the Promotional Purchase Period; and (b) each claim must be submitted separately
        and in accordance with claim requirements

        Is that mean i can claim 1x 2.5kw, 1x 3.5kw and 1x 7kw? or only 1x 2.5kw per house??

        • Yep, that looks right to me, if it's the different sizes you need. Thankfully the promotions on the other sizes are pretty good too.

          If you need more than one of the same size then either getting a friend to purchase or put it under their name on the invoice will also probably get you across the line, even if you get them delivered to the same address.

        • thanks mate!!

        • I purchased 2 units of the same size under the fujitsu promotion a while back here in qld. I was able to claim the fujitsu rebates for both units. These items were purchased on the same invoice aswell..

          When you go to fill out the fujitsu claim form it'll ask for model/serial numbers as proof of purchase.

        • @honkas:

          In this case there is a Harvey Norman rebate as well as fujitsu, and they MIGHT care about people following their conditions??
          The People in the store won't, but when it comes time to claim the rebates it might bite you if you don't follow their conditions ( or work around them creatively) :-)

        • @raydragon:
          I can see their is additional HN rebate thanks, I have checked with my local HN about claiming for multiple purchases and they have confirmed my query about rebates applying to each individual unit purchased irrespective of size.

    • 3 of these will be 1500 plus at least 1500 more for installation.

      With that kind of budget, you should consider spending a bit more and getting a real ducted AC, which start at around $5000. Cheaper in the long run due to lower maintenance and energy costs (plus of course it looks and sounds way better, more powerful, adds more value to the property, etc.

      • Ducted starts around and over $8000 just the install is $2000.

        • +1

          You should shop around.

        • My fujitsu ducted was less than $6k installed, and not the cheapest at the time (though it's the smallest ducted fujitsu, and it was an easy single-storey house installation).

      • Multiple Splits are more energy efficient and cost less than a similar size ducted system. But splits are ugly - especially multiple outdoor units.

  • Would any of you compare this with Mitsubishi or Panasonic as far as a/c brands go? I have a Mitsubishi that is amazing and (in comparison) a Kelvinator that is a pig. I wonder where Fujitsu sits in the food chain.

    • +2

      I think Fujitsu is on par with Panasonic. So a good unit.

      There are two Mitsubishi brands- Mitsubishi and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Mitsubishi is good, MHI is better.

    • +1

      We've had a Fujitsu 7kw unit since 2009 and it's been fantastic. Quiet and efficient. Used every night in winter as heating and occasionally in summer for cooling…(melbourne doesn't really need A/C in summer)

      I also like Fujitsu as their outdoor units are small! Have you seen the size of Mitsubishi and Panasonic's? They are HUGE

    • +1

      top tier aircons are daikin, fujitsu and misubishi

    • +4

      No expert but my understanding has always been:

      Mitsubishi & Daikin > Fujitsu > Panasonic > Others/LG/Samsung/Carrier

      • +1

        Thats what i heard from several tradies. Most said only buy Japanese brands. Toshiba was one of the reputable brand too. Apparently they invented reverse cycle technology. Installed a Mitsubishi Electric, which was different from Mitsubishi Heavy Industry, coz didnt want to pay the Daikin premium. Been working almost daily like a charm. Love the burst mode to start with for 15 mins then quiet mode which is really quiet.

      • +1

        Things have changed… known brands have gone to cheaper manufacturing to compete with cheap brands… some cheap ones have lifted their game. Best to speak to someone who installs / repairs them on a regular basis.

        • They always suggest the one with the highest margin. Unless you tell them you won't buy from them then there reply is they are all the same.

          Pro: I think Panasonic looks the best out of all AC's on the market.

          Con: Smells when it reaches temperature but that's the case with all AC's apparently.

  • Manufacturers Express Warranty (months) 60

  • Disappointed with my 2 two year old Panasonic.

    I would strongly recommend getting a model that supports WiFi remote control. I really regret not getting that, particularly as I was directed to the Panasonic against a model that had WiFi, then the Panasonic have been disappointing. Mind you if the Panasonic dehumidified better and the thermostat on one of the units did as told then there would be a little less need for the WiFi remote.

    • +1

      What is wrong with your Panasonic.

      • Both do a very poor job with dehumidifying (Gold Coast is humid in summer) and one of the units thermostat is all over the place. When in cooling mode and you adjust the temperature to go higher, it keeps going lower. Doesn't happen every time, but 30% of the time.

        • +1

          I've had Panasonic (4) and Fujitsu (3) and both work well for me.

          Both of them dehumidify well, but I'm in Melb so in no way it compares to QLD.

          I must ask, was it installed correctly? I have the opposite problem, they dries the air too much.

          "adjust the temperature to go higher, it keeps going lower" one or both? That seems like a faulty unit.

    • +2

      When I shopped around only Samsung offered Wifi, has that changed? I would never again touch a Samsung refrigeration product, they don't know what they are doing and service is very bad.

      • This was the case at the time, now other manufacturers have WiFi. Not sure which brands. I was told the Samsung have many problems as well.

        • +3

          I find Samsung always have the best "flashy" features for appliances and uses their technology advantages over all their products lines. Unfortunately, the flashy features aside they are mid-tier manufactures in most of their product lines because that is the market they target. Ok quality, ok features and ok price. They are a good balance between these 3 selling points but are by no means the best/highest in any. Its up to the consumer to way up value vs quality.

        • +1

          @Coley: The problem is their software which is at best half-baked. In devices that are easily updated like mobile phones that is a minor issue (as long as they supply updates).

          In home appliances like fridges and AC units a small software bug can kill the whole thing.

          Just as an example: my Samsung fridge used lots more power in winter than in summer. Turns out some software bug causes it to defrost every hour if the room temperature falls below 15 degrees (my kitchen is not heated, so that happens every night in winter).

          I bought that fridge just before the consumer guarantees took effect so I was stuck with their crappy 2 year warranty.

          In the end I resorted to some DIY and placed a resistor next to the temperature sensor. The resistor dissipates 0.25W and makes sure the sensor always gets a reading over 20 degrees, no matter how cold the kitchen actually is. Works a treat!

        • @Coley: Consumers are attracted to flashing lights, gimmicks… the makers know this and target them accordingly.
          Have a s/sung aircon in another house.. pretty average. Got 2 LG's and an Airwell split system in this house and all are great.
          Airwell are not available anymore afaik.. ? They were cheap and good.

    • Isn't Wifi just to be able to turn it on off remotely (when on the way home)
      What does thermostat or dehumidifying have to do with it?

      • +2

        WiFi also allows you to change temperature, mode (cool vs dehumidify), what the room temperature is and set the timer.

        Depending on your PV Solar system and power management system you can get your wifi air conditioner to basically only run when the sun is shining, which can save big $.

        If I had a WiFi controlled air conditioner I could see that the temperature wasn't doing what I had told it. The other advantage with WiFi control is you actually know what mode the air conditioner is in. The IR remotes only tell you what mode settings the remote last sent, not what the air conditioner actually received.

        Dehumidifying is a different issue, however the Samsung were said to be very good in this regard.

        • If it depends on my solar system to run at specific time how can I check if my solar system will be able to work in that way?

        • +1

          @sirs2k:

          It isn't a time related function.

          There are very few PV systems that currently support power management available. These systems at a minimum tell you how much power your house is using and how much power your solar system is producing. Then you can program it to only run things if the solar system is producing enough power, or if some other criteria is met then to run the device anyway. Very good for high power usage devices like pool pumps, air conditioners and electric hot water systems in places like Qld.

          You would know if your system had it as it is a very specific add on that you would have needed to have fitted. They cost a minimum of $500 extra.

  • Wow personalised service too from HN when you click to buy from here..

  • Is the HN eftpos gift card is only usable in Harvey Norman right?…
    Forgive me for asking this question.

    • +1

      No, it looks like an EFTPOS card from giftcardplanet.com.au, same as the one you would get from Fujitsu.
      It works like a normal savings card, you can't use it online and you need to enter a PIN to use it, but cannot withdraw cash from an ATM.

      Source: iSelect sent me $350

  • I just bought this model from The Good Guys for same price, the only difference is the HN eftpos card. They say they will price match after purchase so I'll try it out.

    • did they pay you the difference. I rather go with TGG or JB.. hence the question

  • Does anyone know any cheap installations in Melbourne?

    • For AC? There are NO CHEAP INSTALLATIONS.

      Expect to pay at least $500 - $1000.

      • $500 seem ok, anything above that is step. That's what's is putting off these as the installation cost is too high.

        The signal receiver is the device that is installed on your PeakSmart air-conditioner to assist with capping energy consumption for short periods on a few days of the year.

        Where do I get a Signal Receiver?

        1.When you purchase your PeakSmart air-conditioner, your appliance retailer will provide a signal receiver pack to you at the time of purchase; or alternatively

        2.Your installer may provide one at the time of installation.

      • No I was told the installer does

        • yup they get it for free from energex, no extra cost

    • Hmm, looked around briefly but didn't find wording advising whether or not you need to be with Energex to get this? (I'm with AGL)… anybody know?

      • Looks like you need to be on the Energex network. So you need to live in SEQ.

    Anyone had an old system replaced and a new one put in? My current place as a 3.0 kw unit but the size wise needs 7kw. I'm thinking of replacing it. Anyone know if install is cheaper for replace - assuming all wiring and pipes etc are still use able?

    • Im in the same vote, wanna replace a old A/C with a new better on power one

    • Check what size the circuit breaker is. 20A?

      • thanks will do.

  • So does anyone have this A/C already installed etc and if so how do you rate it? any issues?

    • No issues so far. Brought one from TGG two months back when eBay is having 20% off

      • Ok thanks heaps
        Just was wondering about the reviews on the HN site

        I'm wanting one for our main bedroom which is 4m x4m and it will be replacing a old noisy 3.5w Carrier which cost $$ to run too

        What you think

        • our main bedder is 4x4, we have not this model but a similar 2.5kw, in summer it struggled a little as we were without insulation at that point. in winter this makes easy work to heat up the room (perhaps the insulation has made the difference).

          my 2cents is if you have insulation 2.5kw is probably enough for a 4x4 bedroom

        • @F1Maniac:

          Yer I do

  • I have a vapo cooling system. is it possible to install the second ducted system use the same resources to save money? Or buy this and install 3 bedrooms and living rooms?

  • can't decide whether to bite the bullet due to the mixed reviews.. thoughts?
