Friedrich Chill Premier Key Features
So, what makes the Friedrich Chill Premier so popular with customers? There are a few features that really stand out.
- Reliability: Known for their reliability and consistent cooling, Friedrich window air conditioners are a great way to get effective cooling at an affordable price.
- Versatile Chassis Design: Available in fixed and slide-out chassis configurations, you can choose the installation option that best fits your space and needs.
- Smart Window Air Conditioners: Operate Friedrich Chill Premier window ACs from anywhere with just your phone. Simply download the FriedrichGo app (iTunes, Google Play), connect your phone to the unit, and create schedules, get maintenance reminders, change the operating mode, and much more.
- Energy Star Qualified: Staying cooling doesn't have to break the bank. Many of these window air conditioners are Energy Star rated, meaning they're designed to deliver a powerful and effective performance without wasting energy or increasing your cooling costs.
- Quiet Performance: Designed with stiffened sheet metal, heavy-duty insulation, counterweights, and more, the Chill Premier from Friedrich is engineered to operate quietly, making them perfect for installation in bedrooms, offices, and more.
What Is A Fixed Chassis Air Conditioner?
As a fixed-chassis window air conditioner, Friedrich Chill Premier CCF model ACs are designed for window installation only. Like the name suggests, a fixed chassis air conditioner stays in one place and doesn't move at all, requiring its placement in a window.
When To Select A Fixed Chassis AC
Typically, fixed chassis window ACs are a little easier to install than their slide-out counterparts. These units are usually lighter weight than slide-out air conditioners and are installed as one whole piece.
When it comes to major maintenance issues, you'll usually have to remove the whole unit from the brackets and dismantle it to fix the problem.
Fixed chassis window air conditioners are ideal for permanent placement in residential spaces like bedrooms, living rooms, and more.
What Customers Are Saying About The Friedrich Chill Premier Fixed Chassis
Don't just take our word about how great these window ACs are. Check out a few reviews about Friedrich Chill Premier Fixed Chassis air conditioners from actual customers:
"I use this 5,000 BTU unit in my bedroom. Perfect size. Love the thermostat feature. Very quiet, efficient. Easy to install. I also have a 12,000 BTU unit that cools my entire first floor. Great products!!! I recommended these to friends and family". - Sandra
"We use this as an air conditioner for a bedroom. It works very well, and the Wi-Fi/timer feature is extremely useful in helping us save energy by leaving it off when we're not around, while still having the room cooled off by bedtime. We can even turn it on when we're not home if we want the room to be cooled off by the time we get home". - Jason from Washington, D.C.
What Is A Slide-Out Chassis Air Conditioner?
The other chassis type is a slide-out chassis window AC like the Friedrich Chill Premier CCW Window ACs. Like fixed chassis models, slide-out chassis window ACs can be installed in windows but they're also able to be installed through a wall, which fixed chassis can't.
Slide-out chassis units usually install in two pieces. You mount the shell in the window or your wall and then slide the rest of the unit into the shell.
When To Select A Slide-Out Chassis AC
Customers tend to select slide-out chassis window air conditioners for a couple of reasons.
- Versatility: Since they can be installed in a window and wall, these air conditioner types let you select the placement that's right for your space.
- Easier Maintenance: With the chassis sliding in and out, maintenance is easier than with a fixed-chassis option. That's a great feature if you're installing the unit in apartments, offices, or other spaces where constant use may require more upkeep and monitoring.

You already saw what customers have to say about the Friedrich fixed chassis options but are you interested in what others think about the slide-out chassis configurations? See what people have to say below:
"This is the second Friedrich 18,000 BTU wall unit I purchase. My first one lasted approximately 20 years. The differences between this model and the prior one are attractive. It is substantially quieter. It can be programmed remotely via an internet app, which is very convenient. It consumes less energy and it runs substantially quieter than the older unit". - Robert
"Much simpler installation with the slide-out chassis. Quiet and high quality". - Harrison

Friedrich Chill Premier window air conditioners are popular products that are available in window installation only fixed chassis models and slide-out chassis options that can be installed in windows or walls.
