WELCOME to years of economical comfort
Your new Friedrich Room Air Conditioner has been carefully engineered and manufactured to give you many years of dependable, eficient operation, keeping your room at a comfortable temperature and humidity level. Many extra features have been built into your Friedrich Room Air Conditioner to assure quiet operation, greatest circulation of cool, dry air, most flexible selection of function controls, and high economy of operation.
There are many things you can do in and around your home to save more money - and even increase the eficiency and long life of your Friedrich unit. Here are a few examples:
1.Do not block the flow of air to and from the unit - make sure the louvers are directed to give even distribution of air throughout the room. Caution: If air is obstructed and/or deflected back into the air conditioner, this may cause the unit to cycle on and off rapidly, which could damage your unit.
2.Adequate insulation - walls, ceilings, and below floors - can save up to 50% of the cost of cooling in most areas of the country.
3.Caulking - air leaks around doors, windows, lighting and plumbing fixtures can account for as much as 30% of the load on heating and cooling systems. See that all these areas are well caulked.
4.Install weather stripping around exterior doors and windows.
5.Have a fireplace? Be sure the damper is closed during air conditioner operation.
6.When it’s time to reroof or repaint the outside of your home, choose light colors. They reflect heat instead of absorbing it.
7.Shade your outside walls (especially on the west) from the direct sun; most importantly, shade the unit itself. Trees and shrubs provide natural shading, but make sure they don’t block the air flow around the unit. If natural shade isn’t present, awnings are the best solution for shading the unit and the windows. Also, avoid areas where too much dust or pollen would be drawn into the air conditioner.
8.Inside the house, use blinds, screens, or drapes on windows exposed to the sun. They will reduce your cooling needs. (Lined or insulated draperies will also help cut heating costs in winter).
9.Make sure your attic area is properly vented. In addition, consider installing turbine or power ventilators to help remove hot air from your attic.
10.Keep your Friedrich unit clean. Use a vacuum cleaner attachment for accessible parts, but take care not to damage them. Clean the reusable filter at least twice a month.
11.Set the thermostat at a higher temperature - save 5% in energy usage for each degree of temperature over 72°F.
These are some suggestions for saving money on cooling costs. Some, however, may not be applicable to your house or area. Check with your local utility company for more especialized information.
