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

 It's very noisy! May 29, 2007

Bought this unit to replace an old A/C in the bedroom, and I can't believe how noisy it is.
Even at the lowest fan speed it is extremely loud. Using the energy saver feature the unit is bound to wake you up every time it comes on. And I am not spoiled...I live on a noisy street in Manhattan.
This one is going back.

This unit is the loudest a/c I've been around in my life. We are returning it as soon as possible.

I just returned this air conditioner after installing it in a bedroom and trying to sleep through the noise it's fans make. On low it sounds like a jet engine -- even without the AC running, just fans. I've never heard an AC this noisy before. I'm not unusually sensitive to noise, this is just ridiculously loud. We have two other window units in our house -- one smaller Maytag, one larger Whirlpool -- and neither of them are half as loud as this one. I returned it and got a Kenmore #76081 -- same 8,000 btu, 10.8 EER. It is very quiet -- on it's highest setting it is way quieter than the Frigidaire on it's lowest setting. And it blows just as much air as the Frigidaire's high setting. The Kenmore was a little more expensive, but well worth it. I would not recommend this Frididaire for anywhere in any house, and definitely not in a bedroom. Believe me, I would not have gone through the hassle of removing this thing, repacking it, hauling it back downstairs, back to the car, back to the store, and driving to Sears to buy and install another if it wasn't a serious problem. I don't how they could put something like this on the market.

Noise is TERRIBLE! Even on the lowest fan speed, this model is extremely loud. Unfortunately, due to the fast fan speed, the sound is also high pitched - like a hair dryer - so is more annoying. Returned week after buying.
Remote is nice though. It's almost a replica of the panel on the unit itself.
