22,000 BTU Frigidaire Energy Star Window Air Conditioner
I realize that window air conditioners have not had as much spotlight as the portable air conditioners, but I believe it’s now time! I have not had as much of experience with window ACs, other than while I was living quietly in Tustin several years ago. The apartment complex didn’t have a central air conditioning unit, although it offered central heat.
Window ACs are typically more powerful than their portable AC units. They may seem quieter, also, but keep in mind that half of the unit is sticking outside the window! Although I prefer portable air conditioners, I also believe that window ACs has its strengths, as boasted on a Walmart product site.
The 22,000 BTU Frigidaire has an Energy Star rating, which means that it operates with at least 10% less energy than other window air conditioners. It also can cool rooms up to approximately 1,435 square feet, which is the size of some two-bedroom apartments. It includes a reusable, washable filter as well as an energy-saving option to keep it from running up your energy bill while you are away.
One of its reviewers, “HotToCold”, quoted, “With the energy saver it turns off and on as needed, so when we aren’t home, and the temperature stabilizes, in the home it saves me tons of money, which I have seen on my first electric bill already.” The Frigidaire window air conditioner’s performance and exceeded the reviewer’s expectations. It should also be noted that the unit has almost paid for itself in savings, so the hefty pricetag should not be a detterent.
