If
your HVAC equipment is more than 10 years old or not keeping
your house comfortable, you should have it looked at by a
professional HVAC contractor. If it is not performing
efficiently or needs upgrading, consider replacing it with a
unit that has earned the ENERGY STAR®. Installed
correctly, these high-efficiency heating and cooling units can
save up to 20 percent on heating and cooling costs. But before
you invest in a new HVAC system, make sure that you have
addressed the big air leaks in your house and the duct system.
Sometimes, these are the real sources of problems rather than
your HVAC equipment.
The following Fujitsu models meet special criteria and are
Energy Star®
Qualified:

Proper sizing and installation of equipment is critical to
achieve optimal performance. Split system air conditioners
and heat pumps must be matched with appropriate coil components
to meet ENERGY STAR criteria. Ask your contractor for
