Product Description:
Nothing says home comfort like Frigidaire. Nobody delivers better quality, better service or a broader variety of home comfort products. With units ranging from 5,000 BTUH to 28,500 BTUH they provide quiet, efficient and reliable air conditioners for years of trouble-free service. Most included a remote thermostat, clean air filtration and low voltage start-up to add to consumer comfort, convenience and safety. And with their ENERGY STAR qualification for efficiency, they can provide comfort and savings for any room in your home. You expect all this from Frigidaire... and they deliver. How to Choose a Room Air Conditioner Compared to large capacity central units, room air conditioners have several advantages. The initial cost of a room air conditioning unit is significantly lower than the cost of central air. Because room air conditioners are designed for cooling small spaces, operating costs are reduced. And, room air conditioners can provide personalized temperature and humidity controls that central systems cannot. Calculating Cooling Capacity Cooling capacity is the critical factor in properly selecting a room air conditioner. Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs) and typical models will range in capacity from 5,000 BTUs to 28,500 BTUs. Choosing an undersized unit will overwork the unit and it will not cool properly. Choosing an oversized unit will cost more to buy and operate and it will not dehumidify properly. We can help you to calculate capacity. Be prepared to provide specific information on: Room Dimensions A simple floor plan to show the location of doors and north-facing windows The number of people it will serve Sources of heat such as lamps, TV and appliances An explanation of what's above the intended room Your insulation provisions Cooling Capacity by Room Size Measure the length and width of the area to be cooled. Multiply the length by the width to determine square footage or square meters. Locate the room size in the chart

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Frigidaire FAC124P1A Compact II 12,000-BTU Room Ai...
I am cool!!!!! after a week of being way too hot, need I say more? My husband says that it was easy to install, he loves the remote ( what guy wouldn't). I think it is a little louder than our last one, but I think it cools better. What we really liked and appreciated was the excellent shipping service we received. It was free, it was fast, and it came in excellent condition A big thumbs up to you Amazon, you are my favorite place to shop!!!



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Does the job well
I bought this air conditioner despite reviews that it is too noisy. It is no louder than other A/C units I have had before, and works well so far. I haven't had it long. The unit was very easy to install and was cooling my apartment less than an hour after it arrived.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Too Cold
Wow this machine is great the noise was not a problem for me. The noise level was the average with most comparable machines too me. I will admit I do not watch much TV in the bedroom I am more of a reader so I would not be the best of judge for how the noise would interupt TV viewing.

On the highest setting it is too cold, but it this not the point of an AC. You can however sleep comfortably with the AC on 78 degrees; this takes out the Humidity, cools the room to a comfortable level ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent A/C At An Excellent Price
This is a fine air conditioner and a good value. It is compact and fits easily in most standard windows. It's electronic controls offer many refinements/conveniences which your old a/c does not. It is also much more efficient than your old a/c, and the electronic controls make operating it efficiently simple and straight-forward. Manuals and installation instructions can be found at:

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - It is good but too loud!
The unit is nice and compact, but, it is too loud. I think it is due to the material it is used inside, which helps to make flappy noises when the fan blows the air around.
