Toshiba Seiya, Shorai Edge and Haori wall-mounted splits supplied and installed across Melbourne, backed by Toshiba’s published seven year parts and labour warranty. Sized to the room, mounted where the pipe run is short, connected on its own circuit. Free estimate over the phone, firm price from the office, and you pay after the job.
Tick two or more and it is time to book — every one of these gets worse, never better, on its own.
Toshiba’s Australian range is easy to read once you know the three names. Seiya is the workhorse: an inverter wall unit that Toshiba sells on quiet running, with a noise-reduction function for the outdoor unit and a Quiet mode indoors. The Seiya runs from 2 kW to 7 kW and the Seiya Classic stretches to 10 kW, which is unusual for a wall unit and useful in a big open-plan room that would otherwise need two heads.
Shorai Edge is the step up. Same inverter and twin-rotary compressor, a flat matt front with the pipe pre-cuts hidden, and an Ultra-Pure filter that Toshiba rates as capturing up to 94 percent of PM2.5 particles. It also runs the fan for half an hour after shutdown to dry the coil, the simplest defence against the musty smell a split develops in its second spring. The office confirms the sizes available when you call.
Haori is the one people ask about after they have seen it. The front is a fabric panel, offered in several colours, so the unit reads as a soft rectangle on the wall rather than a white appliance. It comes in three sizes, 2.5, 3.5 and 4.6 kW, so it is a bedroom, study and small living room unit, and it carries the Ultra-Pure filter, voice control through Google Home and Alexa, and a Hi-Power button for a fast warm-up.
All three carry Toshiba’s published seven year parts and labour warranty on residential systems, as long as any range we install.
Melbourne has a lot of houses where a standard white wall unit is the one thing in the room that looks wrong: Edwardian weatherboards in the inner north, Californian bungalows in the east, Art Deco flats along the bay. The Haori’s fabric front, in a colour that picks up a wall or a rug, is the first wall unit we have installed that owners of those homes are happy to have in the front room.
The honest limit is capacity. At 2.5 to 4.6 kW the Haori suits a bedroom, a study, a sitting room or a small lounge with decent insulation. A large open-plan living and dining space in a renovated period home is usually a Seiya Classic job, or a discreet unit high in a hallway, and we will say so rather than sell you a unit that looks lovely and never gets the room warm in July.
Period homes also change how the install goes. Single-skin brick or lath-and-plaster walls, high ceilings, ornate cornices and heritage overlays all affect where the indoor unit can sit and where the pipe can exit. We photograph the proposed positions inside and out before the office confirms the price, so there are no surprises on the day and the cornice stays where it is.
For the ranges themselves Toshiba lists the details on its Australian site; for a unit that is already on your wall, our Toshiba service guide covers cleaning, error codes and when a repair still makes sense.
The cleanest split system install is a back-to-back: indoor unit on the inside of an external wall, outdoor unit on the other side of the same wall, one short pipe run through one hole. It is the simplest and least expensive configuration, the quietest and the least visible, and it is what most estimates assume. When your room and your outside space line up, that is what you get.
When they do not, the pipe has to travel. Around a corner, along the eave in a duct cover, up to a first-floor balcony or down to a slab in the side path. Longer runs mean more copper, more duct cover, sometimes a condensate pump when the drain cannot fall naturally, and more time. None of that is a problem — it is most Melbourne jobs — but it is why we ask about the outside of the house on the phone and why the office confirms the firm price before anyone turns up rather than after.
The outdoor unit itself needs air on all sides, a solid fixing and a spot that will not upset the neighbours. Toshiba’s outdoor noise-reduction function helps on a narrow block, but the placement matters more than the setting. We keep it away from bedroom windows on both sides of the fence, off the deck, and reachable for the next service. The split system installation hub covers placement rules in more detail, including apartments and balconies.
Toshiba states a seven year parts and labour warranty on its residential air conditioning. That is a long time, and it is the reason a lot of people choose the brand. It is also conditional on the unit being installed and looked after properly, which is where the installer matters more than the badge.
The three steps that protect it are the ones an in-a-hurry install skips. The refrigerant lines are pressure tested to prove there is no leak before the system is charged. They are vacuumed to remove air and moisture, because moisture in the lines is what shortens a compressor’s life. And the unit gets its own circuit from the switchboard, run and connected by a licensed electrician, so it is never sharing with the kettle and the toaster.
After that, the unit is commissioned in heating and cooling, the remote and its Eco and Hi-Power modes are explained, and you get before and after photos. You pay after the job. Keep the filter washed and book a professional clean when it needs one, and the unit is set up to see out the warranty and well beyond it.

Toshiba states that its residential and light commercial air conditioning carries a seven year parts and labour warranty. Only one other brand we install publishes a warranty that long. Installation to the manufacturer’s instructions and reasonable upkeep are what keep it in force.
Both are inverter wall units built around Toshiba’s twin-rotary compressor; the Seiya runs from 2 kW to 7 kW. Shorai Edge adds a flat matt front with hidden pipe cuts, the Ultra-Pure filter and a post-shutdown fan cycle that dries the coil. Seiya is the value choice; Shorai Edge is the one for a room where air quality and looks matter.
No. It is its own range, from 2.5 to 4.6 kW, with the Ultra-Pure filter, voice control and a Hi-Power mode. The fabric front is the reason people choose it, but the capacity limit is the reason we only put it in bedrooms, studies and smaller living rooms.
The indoor unit sits on the inside of an external wall and the outdoor unit directly on the other side, with a short pipe run through one hole. It is the simplest and least expensive configuration. When the outdoor unit has to go around a corner or up a level, the run is longer and the office prices that before the job.
Often, yes. The Seiya Classic and Seiya Plus run up to 10 kW in a single wall unit, which covers a large living and dining space that many brands would split across two heads. Whether one unit or two is right depends on the shape of the room and where the wall is.
A single wall unit on a back-to-back run is usually half a day. A longer pipe run, a first-floor outdoor position, a period wall that needs care or switchboard work all add time. The office tells you the expected time when they confirm the price, so you know what the day looks like.
Yes. A split system needs its own circuit from the switchboard, and that work is done by a licensed electrician. The refrigerant side is handled by an ARC-licensed technician. Both come as part of one booking through our office; you do not organise two trades.
Yes, and it is a big part of what we do. We photograph the proposed indoor and outdoor positions, work around cornices and single-skin walls, and confirm the pipe exit before the price is confirmed, so nothing is cut that you have not seen first.
Only where the split replaces a gas heater under the Victorian Energy Upgrades program. We arrange that upfront discount through our accredited installation partners, and the office confirms whether your home qualifies on the call. A new split in a room with no gas heater to decommission attracts only a token amount, and a minimum co-payment applies either way.
FreshDuct supplies and installs Toshiba Seiya, Seiya Classic, Shorai Edge and Haori wall-mounted split systems across metropolitan Melbourne. Licensed electricians run the circuit, ARC-licensed technicians handle the refrigerant side, and every unit is pressure tested, vacuumed and commissioned. Free estimate over the phone, firm price from the office, payment after the job.
Toshiba publishes a seven year parts and labour warranty on its residential air conditioning, as long as any range we install. The install is what protects it: a leak test before charging, a full vacuum before the valves open and a dedicated circuit from the switchboard run by a licensed electrician, then a proper commissioning in both heating and cooling.
A fabric-fronted wall unit in a choice of colours, sized from 2.5 to 4.6 kW for bedrooms, studies and smaller living rooms. The first wall unit that owners of weatherboards, bungalows and Art Deco flats are happy to have in the front room, installed around cornices and single-skin walls without surprises.
The Seiya Classic and Seiya Plus reach 10 kW in one wall unit, so a big open-plan living and dining area can often run on a single head rather than two. The office works out whether one unit or two suits the shape of your room, where the wall is, and where the outdoor unit can sensibly go.
