These tools are only a guide. Due to variations in room design, local climate 
and occupancy, larger areas may require the use of multiple units to provide 
the optimal cooling solution. Please consult your local authorized Friedrich 
distributor or the Friedrich Technical Assistance team for sizing or 
application assistance.
COOLING SIZING GUIDE 
The cooling guide to the right is based on normal room insulation, average 
number of sun-exposed windows and two-person occupancy.
HEATING SIZING INFORMATION
In heating mode, an energy efficient heat pump will generate slightly less 
heating Btus than it would in cooling mode. However, in heating mode, heat 
pumps use approximately 1/3 the energy of resistance heat, making them an 
excellent high-efficiency alternative. Back-up resistance heat ensures heat 
operation below 40� F outdoor temperatures for year ‘round comfort.

Traditional wooden windows are typical in many residences built before 
1965, but more modern windows are often constructed of aluminum or vinyl. 
Many newer energy efficient windows like double-glazed windows actually 
sandwich low conductance gas between two panes of glass. While Friedrich air 
conditioners may be used with this type of window, care should be taken not to 
break the seal between the two panes of glass during installation.
Depending on the style of window in the application, you may want to consider 
the cooling solutions in the adjacent chart. Professional installers may be able 
to make field adaptations, including removing all or part of a window to support 
alternative types of air conditioning units. Professional installers should also be 
able to tell you about any local codes that may apply to your installation.
THRU-THE-WALL INSTALLATION
Many models may be installed through a wall so long as the unit’s side vents are 
not blocked or covered in any way. See page 17, In-wall Installation max. depth.
