I have a Fujitsu 18K, as do most of my friends. Installed by an elite dealer, it comes with either 10 or 12 years warranty. (I forget which).
Awesome AC in summer. Heats great in winter. I live in northern NB where we get crazy amounts of snow. Some snow storms I have to dig out the unit after. But during the storm it never freezes or stops.
This pic is the stairs going down off my deck. To the left is the unit installed about 2 ft off the ground on a stand. It's surrounded and under snow.
Sure it's 4K with tax and install.
But my 1 friend with a generic is clearly not as satisfied as the rest of us. Also my utility bill compares all nearby households, and we are always the best, using least amount of electricity.
We have 28 year old windows and doors and can feel a breeze sometimes through the cracks lol.
So our energy savings are 100% attributed to this and in no way the insulation of the house.
My bill is cheapest of everyone I know as well.
Does anyone else have the Fujitsu here?
