The Fujitsu ARTH65KHTA is an 18.0kW high static ducted reverse cycle air conditioner suited to very large Australian homes, with an estimated total floor area coverage of approximately 220 to 320 m2. Paired with the AOTH65KBTA single-phase outdoor unit on a 230V supply, it provides whole-home cooling and heating through ceiling-mounted ducts with zone control support.
Inverter-driven and using R32 refrigerant, the ARTH65KHTA operates in cooling mode up to 50°C ambient and in heating mode down to -20°C — an extended heating range compared to smaller models in the High Static range. A maximum pipe run of 75m provides installation flexibility for large properties.
Final sizing should be confirmed through an on-site assessment, as insulation, ceiling height, glazing, sun exposure and room layout can all affect the right unit choice.
Overview of Fujitsu 18.0kW High Static Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner
▾The ARTH65KHTA is the highest-capacity single-phase model in the larger-format High Static ducted range, delivering 18.0kW of rated cooling and 20.0kW of rated heating. It is a reverse cycle system providing year-round whole-home comfort. The indoor unit installs in the ceiling cavity and the AOTH65KBTA outdoor unit is mounted externally.
A three-phase outdoor option (AOTH65KRTA) is also available for commercial or three-phase residential installations, paired with the same indoor unit. The 75m maximum pipe run makes this model particularly suited to larger properties where outdoor unit placement is further from the building.
Zone control for room-by-room airflow management.
Inverter compressor for variable-capacity operation and stable temperatures.
R32 refrigerant — approximately 67% lower global warming potential than R410A.
75m maximum pipe run for greater installation flexibility.
Extended heating operation down to -20°C ambient.
Economy mode for reduced energy draw during light-load periods.
Auto changeover between heating and cooling modes.
Ambient cooling operation up to 50°C.
Optional WiFi control via UTY-ANY2 anywAiR module (not included standard).
Is the Fujitsu 18.0kW High Static Ducted Reverse Cycle Air Conditioner right for your home?
▾The ARTH65KHTA is estimated to suit homes with a total floor area of approximately 220 to 320 m2, making it suitable for very large Australian homes with five or more bedrooms. Actual coverage depends on insulation, ceiling height, glazing, sun exposure, number of zones and duct layout.
The extended 75m maximum pipe run allows greater flexibility in outdoor unit placement, which can be advantageous on larger properties or where rooftop or remote siting is preferred.

▾Energy Efficiency & Performance
▾The ARTH65KHTA achieves an EER of 3.21 kW/kW in cooling and a COP of 3.82 kW/kW in heating under rated conditions. It carries a 2.5-star cooling and 2.5-star heating energy rating under average Australian climate zone conditions.
The inverter compressor adjusts output to match the home’s actual load. Maximum power input is 7.80 kW (worst-case operating condition) and maximum running current is 24.6 A. Electrical design must be confirmed by the installer given the higher current draw at this capacity.
