Summer is here, and it's time to beat the heat! A Friedrich casement window air conditioner could be the perfect solution for your cooling needs. In this comprehensive guide, we will discuss everything you need to know about these air conditioners, from their features and benefits to installation tips and maintenance. So, let's dive in and explore the world of Friedrich casement window air conditioners.
A casement window air conditioner is a compact cooling unit designed specifically for casement windows (also known as crank-out windows). These windows are hinged on one side and open outward, making them unsuitable for traditional window air conditioners. Friedrich, a leading manufacturer of air conditioning units, has developed a range of casement window air conditioners to cater to this unique need.
Friedrich casement window air conditioners come packed with features that make them an excellent choice for your home. Some of these features include:
1. Energy Efficiency:Friedrich air conditioners are designed to be energy-efficient, helping you save on electricity bills while keeping your home cool and comfortable. Many models come with Energy Star certification, ensuring they meet strict energy efficiency guidelines set by the US Environmental Protection Agency.
2. Compact Design:These air conditioners are specifically designed for casement windows, making them compact and easy to install. The slim profile ensures that your window's view is not obstructed, and the unit does not protrude too far into your room.
3. Quiet Operation:Friedrich casement window air conditioners are known for their quiet operation, allowing you to enjoy a peaceful and comfortable environment without the constant hum of a noisy air conditioner.
4. Multiple Cooling Modes:These air conditioners come with multiple cooling modes, including cool, fan, and energy-saving modes. This allows you to choose the best mode for your needs and preferences.
5. Remote Control:Many Friedrich casement window air conditioners come with a remote control, allowing you to adjust the settings from anywhere in the room.
6. Washable and Reusable Filters:The air filters in these units are washable and reusable, making maintenance easy and cost-effective.
When selecting a Friedrich casement window air conditioner, it's essential to consider the following factors:
1. Size:Measure the dimensions of your casement window to ensure that the air conditioner will fit properly. Friedrich offers various models to accommodate different window sizes.
2. Cooling Capacity:Cooling capacity is measured in British Thermal Units (BTUs). Choose an air conditioner with the appropriate BTU rating for your room size to ensure effective cooling. As a general rule, you will need approximately 20 BTUs per square foot of living space.
3. Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER):The EER is a measure of an air conditioner's energy efficiency. A higher EER indicates a more energy-efficient unit. Look for models with a higher EER to save on electricity bills and reduce your carbon footprint.
4. Noise Level:If you are sensitive to noise, consider a Friedrich casement window air conditioner with a low decibel rating for quieter operation.
Installing a Friedrich casement window air conditioner is a relatively simple process that can be done by following these steps:
1. Prepare the Window:Ensure that the window is clean and free of debris. Open the window fully and remove the screen if necessary.
2. Attach Support Brackets:Attach the support brackets that come with the air conditioner to the window sill and the exterior wall as per the manufacturer's instructions.
3. Install the Air Conditioner:Carefully lift the air conditioner and place it on the support brackets, ensuring that it is level and securely positioned. Close the window onto the top of the unit.
4. Seal the Window:Use the provided foam insulation to seal any gaps between the air conditioner and the window frame. This will prevent air leaks and improve the unit's efficiency.
5. Secure the Unit:Attach the air conditioner to the support brackets and the window frame using the provided hardware. Check that the unit is secure and does not wobble.
Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and efficiency of your Friedrich casement window air conditioner. Here are some maintenance tips to keep your unit in top condition:
1. Clean the Filters:Regularly clean the air filters by removing them from the unit and washing them with warm, soapy water. Allow the filters to dry completely before reinstalling them.
2. Inspect the Unit:Periodically inspect the air conditioner for any signs of damage or wear. Check the support brackets and hardware to ensure they are secure and in good condition.
3. Clean the Condenser Coils:At least once a year, clean the condenser coils located at the back of the unit. Use a soft brush or vacuum cleaner to remove any dust and debris.
4. Check the Drainage System:Ensure that the drainage system is working correctly, and there are no blockages. Remove any debris from the drain pan and hose.
By following this comprehensive guide, you can enjoy the many benefits of a Friedrich casement window air conditioner. These units provide efficient cooling, quiet operation, and a compact design that makes them perfect for casement windows. With proper installation and maintenance, your Friedrich air conditioner will keep your home cool and comfortable for years to come.
Casement windows are the most common style of window. They feature hinged panels that swing open and closed. Casement windows are available in single panels or multiple panels. The direction a door swings, either to the right or the left, is called the handing. In addition to handing, window are identified as either inswing or outswing depending on whether they open into the house or towards the outside.

This newly built private house is in Sydney, Australia. The area occupied by the fenestration system in our scheduled design drawings was up to more than 110 square meters. A wide range of design details made the perfect mix of modern aesthetics and traditional sophistication, the simulated vertical hung windows with tilt & turn opening systems in this home are absolutely breathtaking. SDLS (Simulated Divided Lites with Spacer Bar) brings some historical vintage feeling to the whole building without losing any energy saving performance. Long narrow fixed windows creating larger-than-life expenses, coupled with German high-end systems made this project stand out from the rest.
The client's idea was to maintain a certain vintage feel, and our aim was to meet the energy efficiency needs and standards of modern houses as much as possible while maintaining a retro design. Doorwin’s 61S simulated hung windows with tilt & turn openings is a respectful modernization of a classic architectural masterwork.
Why choose the tilt and turn opening method?
Because it generally has better air seals than sliding, single hung, or double hung window frames. Tilt and turn windows form a complete seal when fully closed, this means they are less prone to water leakage, and cold draughts and you’ll keep more of your heating indoors where it belongs. They can be opened in the upper tilt way to ventilate at a minimum opening status and are easy to clean outside of the glass; when there’s a good day, they can be opened as normal inward casement windows.
Our well-crafted bespoke systems enhance the functionality and panoramic view of this modern house.
Huge, fixed glass walls up to seven meters long and two meters high bring great lighting and open views, making it really refreshing to the mind. Five meters high long narrow windows give the whole building a contemporary aesthetic.
