A good fit if…
- Your winters get properly cold - it is ENERGY STAR cold-climate certified, with 33,000 BTU/h at 5°F.
- It will heat most of the year - its HSPF2 beats 75% of mini-splits.
- You want steady temperatures and quiet running - the compressor varies its speed.
Think twice if…
- You want the newest refrigerant - it uses R-410A, which is being phased down.

Questions
- What is the SEER2 rating of the Fujitsu AOUH30LUAH1?
- The Fujitsu AOUH30LUAH1 is rated at up to 22.0 SEER2 and 13.5 EER2 for cooling and up to 11.0 HSPF2 for heating. The exact figure depends on the indoor unit it is paired with; across its 3 certified matchups SEER2 ranges from 18.3-22.0.
- Is the Fujitsu AOUH30LUAH1 good for cold climates?
- Yes. At least one certified matchup meets the ENERGY STAR cold-climate criteria, delivering up to 33,000 BTU/h at 5°F with a COP of 1.76, so it is still 1.8 times as efficient as electric resistance heat at that temperature.
- How much does the Fujitsu AOUH30LUAH1 cost to run per year?
- At its rated efficiency it costs about $612-$1,706 a year in electricity in large U.S. cities, depending on climate and local rates - for example $764 in Phoenix and $1,432 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 AOUH30LUAH1?
- ENERGY STAR lists 3 certified combinations for this outdoor unit. The highest-rated ones use FUJITSU AUUH30LUAS, FUJITSU AMUG30LMAS, FUJITSU ARUH30LUAS.
- What refrigerant does the Fujitsu AOUH30LUAH1 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.
