Answer This Question
A: Hello Carrie,
Thank you for reaching out to us! Please know that the Frigidaire FHPC102AC1 Portable Room Air Conditioner is designed to keep your space cool and comfortable. Let’s clarify the cooling capacity:
ASHRAE BTU Rating: The unit is rated at 10,000 BTU (ASHRAE). This rating represents the cooling power based on standard testing conditions.
DOE BTU Rating: However, for certification purposes, the DOE (Department of Energy) provides a different rating. In this case, the Frigidaire air conditioner is listed as 6,500 BTU (DOE).
Coverage Area: As for the square footage it can cool, the title suggests 450 sq. ft., while the specs listing indicates 250 sq. ft. And to add to the mix, a moderator claims it’s 350 sq. ft.
Given these conflicting numbers, it’s understandable that you’re seeking clarity. Let’s break it down:
The ASHRAE rating (10,000 BTU) is typically more accurate for assessing cooling capacity.
The DOE rating (6,500 BTU) is a standardized measure used for energy efficiency calculations.
The coverage area can vary based on factors like insulation, room layout, and local climate.
Considering the ASHRAE rating, this portable air conditioner should effectively cool a room of approximately 350 to 450 sq. ft. Keep in mind that individual experiences may vary based on specific conditions.
In summary, the Frigidaire FHPC102AC1 is a versatile unit with a cooling range suitable for medium-sized rooms. If you’re uncertain, I recommend referring to the manufacturer’s guidelines or consulting with a professional for precise recommendations.
