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.

Good AC Unit
I've had this AC for alomost a month and I really can't say a bad thing about it. I love the Energy Star mode which I leave on during the day when we are not home, its not running all day long but its cool when you get home after work, so we should be saving on electricity. It cools pretty much the whole other side of my apartment. We could not use the bracket that came with it, our window sil would not allow us to screw it in. But the side panels that came with it which we screwed right into the AC unit itself seems to hold it up pretty well, very secure. It's quiet too, not too loud at all, perfect for sleeping. When you have to clean the filter, it tells you to check the filter so there is no guessing there. All in all, it is a good AC unit. Happy to have purchased it, good price too I think for a vertical AC unit.

Terrible Service from Frigidaire Never could get parts to mount unit
I purchased the unit in early May, it is now the end of July and I am waiting for UPS to pick it up. After 5 trys to get the right part to install the unit, I give up.
The unit came with a bent installation brace. I called Frigidaire on their toll free number, you are told to call a non toll free number. After talking with a service rep with very limited english, they finally agreed to send a replacement part. WRONG Part sent. Tried again, same treatment.
They recommended taking the unit to a Frigidaire service place. They don't do air conditioners, but did order the part. Frigidaire has no record of the order. I watched the repairman place the order, so I know it was sent.
When I called about that order, I again ordered the part. Wrong part again.
Since they take at least 2 weeks for each of these cycles, That chewed up 2 months. I quit. I am sending the unit back.
I bought another brand from a local dealer and it works fine.
Unit may work well, but if you can't install it. Who cares.
Service gets negative stars.
