Last summer I decided to buy an air conditioner for my bedroom. I had heard a lot about Friedrich so I decided to check them out. I got in touch with an authorized dealer because I wanted to do it right. I knew how important it was to get the sizing right. Wrong size in air conditioning can lead to improper cooling and rise in energy costs.
Get The Sizing Right
Once I got the sizing right, the dealer showed my numerous models of Friedrich air conditioners. Friedrich really gives you lot of options when it comes to Friedrich window air conditioners. You can choose from X-Star, Z-Star, Quietmaster, TwinTemp Heat Pump, and Hazardgard. The cooling capacity of Friedrich air conditioner can range from 5,000 BTU to 24,000 BTU.
Features
The standard features of a Friedrich room air conditioner are
- Simple one-touch cooling
- 24-hour timer setting
- Smart fan-which can adjust the speed to maintain proper temperature
- Comes with slide out chassis for easy installation and maintenance
- 4-speed fan
- 8-way airflow control
- Antimicrobial treated filter, which is very easy to clean
I found the Quietmaster series quite appealing. I bought the SS10L10 model which comes with 10400 BTU cooling capacity. What I liked best about it was that it was Energy Star certified; therefore, I knew that I was buying a superior quality Friedrich window air conditioner. This Friedrich ac comes with the Unique ComfortWatch Technology. What this means is that my AC anticipate the temperature fluctuations in my room and then adjust accordingly to maintain an even room temperature. The other feature that I found helpful was its ultra quiet Sleep Setting.
I followed the Friedrich air conditioner installation manual while installing the unit. It was quite easy to install and obviously I had a friend to help me out. One thing that every buyer should do is to keep the copy of the receipt. You would not be able to make use of the warranty without this proof. Friedrich window ac parts are covered with a one year limited warranty. On the other hand, the sealed Friedrich air conditioner parts, which include condenser, compressor, coils, reversing valve, check valve, filter drier, and all interconnecting tubing, are covered with a five-year warranty.
It has been almost one year since I bought my AC and I have had complete trouble-free service. I obviously follow maintenance procedures religiously. I make sure that Friedrich air conditioner filter is cleaned every month. So far I have not had any problems and I do not foresee any in the near future.
