Hi Mitsubishi Reps,
What is the difference with
FDUA100VNPWVH vs FDUA100AVNPWVH
Specs all look the same.
And also FDUA125VNPWVH vs FDUA125AVNPWVH
Thank you.
Previous asked question has been sit for 7 months but no reply.
The difference between FDUA100VNPWVH vs FDUA100AVNPWVH is the outdoor model used. The additional A units have DRED fitted to the units.
I hope that this helps with your enquiry today.
many thanks.
Hi. I have been told that Mitsubishi Heavy is the best of the best. I am to replace an old ducted system. I am always reluctant to install anything without trialling the product first. Do you have a showroom in Sydney to checkout your options for a ducted unit. Thanks

I had my system installed last February a FDUA 100vnpwvh 10kw and have had various problems mainly with the installer not knowing what he was doing. I am finding the control panel really sensitive so when changing temperatures it goes to Auto which I do not want. I have to fiddle about for ages to get it back to in this case heating, is there any way to rectify this?
Hello Susan, Thank you for reaching out to us. I am sorry to hear that you had some issues with the installation. To resolve this , have you tried to have the installer return to rectify these issues ?
No way! I have already had to other firms fixing up his work and have photographs of what they found he hadn’t done properly and what they did to make things safe and functional.
What is the Difference between FDUA125AVNXWVH and the FDC125VNP-W? We were quoted for the first and received the latter?
Hello May,
Thank you for reaching out to us. I will be sending you a direct message regarding your enquiry today.

Indoor unit is the same but the outdoor unit is different. In summary, The former one is better and more expensive. The former one has dual fans outdoor unit (ramping up more to 14kw) and refrigerate (4KG) precharged to 30m and the latter one is only a single fan outdoor unit (with no ramping up = Nominal Capacity 12.1kw) with less condenser coils (refrigerate precharged to 15m, just 2.25KG).
Other differences like Outdoor air temperature (upper, lower limits), the former one is -15 to 50 oC, the latter budget builder range is -15 to 46 oC.
But the good news is the former one has Max Power Consumption of 6.13kw, the latter one just 4.75kw.
Correct me, if I am wrong, MHI, or if you have anything else to add.
Hi. Been quoted for pea m125 x 2. For a 225 m house. But what is the difference with fdu160kx? Would that be enough to heat house in Canberra.
Hi NNair, The model PEA M125 is a Mitsubishi Electric model. We are in fact two separate companies. While Mitsubishi Electric manufacture other items such as fridges and hand dryers, we (Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) focus on doing one thing well which is making high-quality, award-winning air-conditioners.
The FDU160KX is our 16kW capacity ducted unit from Mitsubishi Heavy Industries while the PEA M125 is the 12.5kW capacity ducted unit from Mitsubishi Electric.
We’ve been named by CHOICE as Australia’s best air conditioner brand five years in a row and Canstar Blue as having the most satisfied customers of any air conditioner brand for four years in a row – something we’re incredibly proud of and something we believe helps differentiate ourselves.
For your home in Canberra, we do always recommend speaking to an MHI installer who can assess your space and provide the best solution.

Yes thank you. I am now getting quite for mhi air con. Thanks
I've tried googling the answer but am not having any luck... can someone please tell me the lowest temperature setting for the FDYAN100AV1/RZA100CV1 while on heating mode? Thank you
Hi Lee,
The lowest temperature setting on heating mode would be 16c.
We had a FDUA system installed recently - it excelled during Summer but winter is different, it is set to 20c but room temperatures are much lower, average 15c. The filter is regularly cleaned and the house is insulated - we have closed off a bedroom that is rarely used. Any suggestions?
Can you tell me the power input/consumption KW per hour of FDUA160 AVSAVF ?
Hi DJW, We recommend referring to the Energy Rating calculator below regarding power consumption and operating costs. external link Alternatively, you can view the full list of specs including input, power consumption in heating/cooling mode in the ducted brochure below.

Found it, thank you for your prompt response, much appreciated.
Hi Recently had a 20kW system with RC-ex3a remote installed to replace our 22 year old 18kW Temperzone (which has been trouble free for all that time). Note that zone control done external to the RC-ex3a. The FDUA is working a treat, however having fun setting up the controller - I'm electrical engineer so am familiar with programmable controllers etc.
But I cannot understand the difference between "room temp" and "R/C temp" displayed value - they at times display very different readings, then they are sometimes close. Please note that I have set the R/C temp as the controlling temp reading; and all works to maintain set point..
Can you clarify how this "room temp" is determined - seems to be some calculated value of some sort.
Hi Peter,
We've just sent you a message to assist.
HI Peter, to my understanding, the R/C temp is the control pad temperature and the room temp is the return grille air temp. Not sure if or how to change the outdoor unit to read the reaching of target temp from Room temp to R/C temp, my old Fujitsu pad is able to.
Looking for a FDUA 140 or 160 three phase to replace our old Mitsubishi Electric A/C. In Fairfield Area, New South Wales. Any quotes?

What can you tell me about FDUA125VNXWVH system
Hi George, You can learn more about the 12.5kW, single phase FDUA system via the page below. external link You can also learn more in our ducted systems brochure which you can find below. external link
Hi Team,
Can you explain why you jump from a 7.1kW to a 10kW? I am looking at an 8.5kW install and am concerned the 7.1kW will work too hard and the 10kW will cycle too often. What are my options as this large gap is potentially steering me away from a Mitsubishi install?
The existing system I am replacing is a 18 year old 7.5kW LG (no Zone control) and although I feel the system is a little undersized, which is why I am looking for 8.5kW, it may be the age factor efficacy that added to the undersized concern, and although it held temperature well once at setpoint, it took forever to get there.
Any input is appreciated as I would ideally like to stick with your product.
Cheers
Being an inverter, going for the 10KW wouldnt be a problem (They Dont Cycle). It will get to temp much quicker and ramp down to maintain that temp. The extra power will help on 40+ days in summer as it will have that extra power to maintain tempreture
Could you please advise what kw would be suitable for a 100sq metre (5 bedroom house) thanks
Hi Vanessa, Thanks for your question! Given there's quite a few facts to consider including size and layout of your space, insulation type, existing ductwork, size and location of windows, etc. we always recommend speaking to an installer who can recommend the best solution for you.

I would like to ask the same questions that Micheal Li has raised here. What is the difference between FDUA100VNPWVH and FDUA100AVNX. Someone offered me a FDUA100AVNX, but I can’t find it on MHI website. Thanks.
Hi Rita, Both the systems you mention are 10kW capacity and use the same indoor unit (FDUA100VH) but a slightly different outdoor unit with very minor differences with technical specifications. The FDUA100AVNX system was superseded by the FDUA100AVNAWVH system recently but the FDUA100AVNX is still a legitimate MHI product. You can see all the technical specs of each system via the ducted system brochure available via the link below.

Thanks so much for your reply which is quite helpful for me to decide the model.
Could you give me some details / specs regarding model fdua 125vnxwvh
Hi There,
You can find all the details - including specifications for the FDUA125VNXVH in the ducted brochure which I've linked below.

Hi
I was wondering what the new star rating is for the FDU140AVSWVH, both heating and cooling.
We live on the mid south east coast of NSW.
Cheers
Mark
Hi Mark, Thanks for your question! The star energy rating system is only applicable to split systems at this stage. This is mainly due to the large number of variables that influence the effciency of a ducted system (including duct sizing, length, layout, etc, ) thus making it hard to provide a generic star energy rating.
Hope this helps but if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to let us know!
Hi No worries Is there a ball park figure as I have clients going through council and need it in their basix. The unit will have have 5 zones with a maximum square meter to heat and cool of 130 squares.
The star rating we need to beat is 1.5
Mark
Hi Mark,
Approximate rating would be 3 stars.
Ok thank you.
They will be very pleased!!
Hi unit was FDUA100 was installed last year and it seems to be more noisy this year.
Hi Kathleen, Sorry to hear of the issues you're having. Is it the indoor our outdoor unit that's making noise? If it's the outdoor unit you may want to check that it's level, secured to the ground, not rocking and that there isn't anything that may be knocking against the unit while in use.
You may also want to check with the installer to determine if the issue may be caused during installation. If you've checked the above and the issue remains (or the noise is coming from the indoor unit) we'd suggest submitting a request for a warranty call via the page below. Otherwise, you can contact us on 1300 138 007.
