Only in Australia…

Anyone who has ever lived in tropical Australia will know about Geckos! They have the amazing ability to climb up a vertical wall or even a glass window. Gecko’s extreme climbing skills allow these entertaining little lizards to go anywhere in search of food. Unfortunately, this includes the interior of air conditioning units.

This can be a real problem for contractors in Queensland and other tropical areas, with geckos getting inside the indoor units and causing a lot of damage by shorting out the PCB circuits.

Fortunately, Hitachi’s new High Wall Splits have improved Gecko resistance. In their endless pursuit of improving the quality of their units, Hitachi have installed the PCB’s in a different position within the unit, making them less accessible to a gecko invasion.

With the recent release of new Hitachi inverter wall split models, there is now a unit to suit any size room and they offer a range innovative benefits (apart from Gecko proofing!) that will make it a pleasure to get home on a hot summers day.

Hitachi inverter wall split provide clean, cool, allergen free air. The Nano Titanium Wasabi air purifying filtration provides a powerful antibacterial, anti-mould, anti-allergen and deodorising effect, reducing bacteria and allergen levels by around 99% and 95% respectively.

Avoid hot spots and enjoy even coverage of the entire room. Hitachi’s multi-directional, horizontal and vertical, auto swing louvres provide a greater distribution of air to cool or heat the room evenly.

Save money with lower running costs and significant energy savings. With improved efficiencies that provide higher AEER and ACOP figures and an ECO mode setting that enables the user to achieve significant energy savings and enjoy lower running costs.

You don’t have to wait long for the room to cool off in summer or heat up in winter. A Powerful mode allows users to run their system at maximum output for 20-minutes. Powerful mode projects airflow further and faster to cool or heat a room quickly.

Enjoy greater flexibility and control with the new optional wireless and wired controllers each packed with new functions. An advanced seven-day timer allows you to set up to six on/off time and temperature settings for each day of the week. You can even preset two seven-day schedules.

These units are easy to install and they fit in tight spots. To make installations simple and easy, wiring is standardised to 3 Core + E right across the range. And the Hi wall units are now shorter in width improving the ability to install into tight locations.

Whether you share your house with geckos or not, the new Hitachi inverter wall splits are a great solution for anyone looking for quality, affordable units backed by national service and warranty programs.

P.S. If you have a Gecko problem and you don’t have a new Hitachi wall split unit, you can try hanging moth balls near the unit, as we are reliably told these deter Geckos as well as moths.
