Fujitsu Air Conditioner Reviews

About Fujitsu

Founded in 1936 as Yaou Shouten Ltd. in Kawasaki, Japan, Fujitsu General commenced operations as a consumer electronics company. In the 1960s, Fujitsu released its first air conditioner, a window-type cooler. 

Fujitsu General entered the Australian market in 1974. 

In 2013, the firm was the first company to release air-con systems with R32 refrigerant (Difluoromethane) in Australia. R32 refrigerant is a lower global warming potential (GWP) alternative to R410A that was commonly used in new air conditioning systems. From 1 July 2024, small air conditioning equipment (mobile equipment exempted) with high GWP refrigerants such as R-410A could no longer be be imported into Australia; although some larger Fujitsu units still use it as at the time of writing.
