Description

Powerful cooling meets upgraded technology and long-term design with the Friedrich KCVM18B30A. One of the highest-quality single-room air conditioners available, this Kuhl model is perfect for large rooms up to 1,000 square feet.

 

 

Note: This window air conditioner requires a NEMA 6-15P plug and 220-240 volt circuit breaker.  

Powerful Air Conditioning

This 20,000 BTU window AC offers immediate cooling to large rooms. Set your ideal room temperature, and this room air conditioner works to maintain it. So you’ll stay cool but it won’t run when it’s not needed.

Choose fan-only mode to avoid room stuffiness all year. Other cooling features include four cooling speeds, four fan speeds, and more.  

Easiest Room Comfort Possible

Control your room comfort from the palm of your hand with the Friedrich app. It’s simple to set up and then you can control it from anywhere:

  • Set a seven-day custom schedule around your needs.
  • Change the mode, fan speed or set temperature.
  • Control multiple units or invite other people to manage one or more units. This is helpful for people who have multiple units or in commercial/business settings.
  • Future app updates include plans for being smart grid capable and smart home ready for use with Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

Upgraded Design and Features

The Friedrich Kuhl Window Air Conditioner is known for its efficient features and design. Its quality construction, programmable features, and energy-saving features helped it earn a 10.3 EER. Its estimated yearly cost is $184.

Additionally, use the Auto mode for further energy savings. It will choose a fan speed and mode based on your current room and set temperatures. Auto mode also takes the thinking out of cooling your space.  

Additional Features

  • Five-Year Warranty: This Kuhl model is backed by a warranty other window ACs can’t compete with due to the quality design and durable construction.
  • Multiple Installation Options: Install this year-round comfort machine in windows or through a wall. Its slide-out chassis allows for easier installation and maintenance. This air conditioner can be installed in windows between 22 and 42 inches in width.
  • Quiet Design: Don’t interrupt your daily activities because it’s designed for a quiet experience. Steel inner walls, extra dense insulation, enclosed commercial-grade motor, and solid housing.
  • Eight-Way Airflow Control: Direct cool air exactly where you need with vertical and horizontal directions.
  • Superior Air Filtration: Breathe easier with the MERV 6 filter. It features an air filter, a carbon filter for odors, and a superior fresh air intake option.

    Excellent AC Unit

    This is a very well-made unit with a minimal but highly functional design that blends in with its environment. I am very happy with it so far.

    Nice Unit

    We live in NY and purchased this for a ""through the wall air conditioner"" installation. Pros: 1. Friedrich says they keep the sleeve size the same so if we ever change the air condition, we won't need to change the size of the opening. 2. Its an attractive air conditioner so its a nice addition to the living room. 3. Friedrich builds air conditioners for commercial use so its well built. 4. Wi fi is nice and settings can be changed from a cell phone. 5. Can set to automatically change temperature setting and can set to turn of and on when need for during the day and during the night times. Cons: 1. Although the unit seems to be quieter than most air conditions, it is a ""through the wall unit"" and still makes some noise. 2. I thought with an expensive unit like this the thermostat would be more accurate. I find in the summer I am setting it to like 73 degrees to get it down to about 77 degrees and depending on the outside temp, it can vary.
