A good fit if…
- Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 18,100 BTU/h at 5°F.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- Cooling cost matters most - its SEER2 is below average for mini-splits.
- You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the Fujitsu AOU15RLFF?
- The Fujitsu AOU15RLFF is rated at up to 20.3 SEER2 and 12.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 10.7 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with.
- Is the Fujitsu AOU15RLFF good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 18,100 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.84, so it is still 1.8 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the Fujitsu AOU15RLFF cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $329-$884 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $406 in Phoenix and $739 in Minneapolis. The calculator on this page works it out for your city and compares it with your current system.
- Which indoor units work with the Fujitsu AOU15RLFF?
- ENERGY STAR lists 1 certified combination for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated one uses FUJITSU AGU15RLF.
- What refrigerant does the Fujitsu AOU15RLFF use?
- It uses R-410A. R-410A is being phased down under the EPA AIM Act, and new systems are moving to R-454B and R-32.
