Hi

I have a great experience with Fujitsu Halcyon 9RLS3Y models, so I plan to install another one

There is a new model 09LZAH1

https://www.fujitsugeneral.com/us/products/split/wall/09lzah1.html

which seems similar to what I have

However, while shopping - it seems models with Wi-Fi enabled indoor units are unavailable. Some sites sell the model 09LZBH1: https://www.fujitsugeneral.com/us/products/split/wall/09lzah1b.html

which doesn't have Wi-Fi

Some sites even say it is discontinued: https://www.ecomfort.com/Fujitsu-09LZASH1/p106472.html

Fujitsu, however, says 09LZAH1 is a current model and should be available

Anybody can shed light on why Wi-Fi model is widely unavailable?

Thanks

    After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

    Is this for your personal use or are you a fujitsu dealer? If you are a Fujitsu dealer you should not be purchasing from places like e-comfort, as the warranty is not the same. If you are a homeowner doing DIY work I would imagine that fujitsu probably kept as much inventory allocated to their licensed dealers through distribution as they could. Johnstone Supply I do believe is the big fujitsu distributor. I know there has been a bit of a shortage (same as every year with A/C equipment) but the Fujitsu dealers near me have been able to purchase equipment for all their projects locally through Johnstone.

    Thank you

    Yes, this is for my personal use and DIY.

    I have 6 units installed 2 years ago by Fujitsu dealer, and if not for rebates from my electric company - I would have never been able to afford them - their prices are prohibitive.
