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 fl ow of air to and from the unit - make sure the
l u o e v s r a e r d e r i t c d e o t
the room. Caution: If air is obstructed and/or defl ected 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 fl oors - 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 refl ect 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,
c n o d i s r e n i t s i l l a g n u t i b r
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.
