A:AnswerSEER is a seasonal energy rating. Currently window units are only rated with EER. SEER ratings are more prominent in central AC’s and Ductless Mini-Split Systems.
A:AnswerThe amp draw on your unit is 7 amps, but on the box it is simply saying that it needs to be plugged into a 15 amp outlet.
Thank You,

A:AnswerThat is a great question. Thank you for your submission. Air conditioner model FRA085AT7
does not have drain holes it is designed to evaporate the water that is collected. That is why it is required for the air conditioner to be tilted about 7/8" to 1-1/4". We hope this information is what you seek. Please do not hesitate to contact us directly or via the Q&A forum on this website.

A:AnswerThe unit is not going to extend into the room very far... maybe a good inch or half inch but not more than that. The bulk of the unit will be outside.
Remember when installing there should a slight slop to the OUTSIDE as this is what helps drain any condensation out and away from your inside.
A:AnswerYou might be able to buy extenders from the company itself or even from a major home improvement store, but they are costly and even then didn't fully fit my 43 inch window. Wasted time.
Instead position your air conditioner as close to one side as you can so at least one extender will work. Measure the other opening length and width. Head to Home Depot or Lowes and get you some Plexiglas that is a little larger than the dimensions you measured. Be sure to get a Plexiglas cutter and some clear silicone calk / calk gun while there.
What you want to do is to be able to place that Plexiglas where it will cover the opening using the inside portion of the window frame and the window as a backstop to keep it from falling out.
Once you have it sitting against the window covering the opening and outside elements, get your calk gun and start sealing. I did a small portion first and used something heavy to make sure it was snug against the window while it dried. Once dried and in place I went all the way around it. Basically you are using the clear silicone calk as both glue and weather proofing. Should the need ever arise for it to be removed, the calk will come up no problem.
Hope it helps
A:AnswerThe unit should be able to be installed in any window that has a sliding up / down type window. Even if you didn't have the sliding window or had to completely remove the window you could get this to work with very little effort.
My window is a traditional window so I lift it up or down to open or close it. This is what my air conditioner rests on to keep it from falling out of the window. My problem is my window is extra wide and the two side panels included were not long enough to keep the bugs and elements out.
What I did was position the air conditioner far enough to one side where one extender would fit. A quick trip to Home Depot I got some Plexiglas (about $8 for the size I needed) a Plexiglas cutter (about $5 ) and some clear silicone calk. I measured the length and width of the opening I needed to cover, cut the Plexiglas where it had some extra length and width to rest against the window and calked it in pace.
weather and bug resistant for about $25. If you had to remove the window all you would need is to securely fasten a board across your window where a normal window would go to keep your air conditioner from falling out.
A:AnswerWindow air conditioners have both an inside & an outside blower/fan. The inside is a blower wheel & the outside is called a slinger fan. It's called a slinger fan because it picks up the water that accumulates inside the unit from condensation and "slings" it at the hot condenser making it both air cooled and water cooled condenser. It could be that the reason that you aren't seeing and water drip out is because it's all being slung onto the condenser where it evaporates. I've had units that didn't drip out any water but still worked fine. If you can stand outside close to the unit let it run for 30-60 minutes and then see if you can feel any water misting out from it. If you can feel that then you have your answer, the water is being slung.onto the condenser. Let me know what happens.....
A:AnswerThis definitely de-humidifies. I cannot measure how much but it does a great job. The moisture is removed from the air and is dripped outside from the back of the unit.
A:AnswerIt may not be long enough. If this is the case, simply measure the open space and head to your local home improvement store and many different alternatives can be found to "plug the open part" and still have it look nice.
If you do go this route, buy some waterproof calk and seal it up to help avoid water from rain coming in.
A:AnswerUSA - I thought everyone knew they were US made. Most companies won't tout a made in the USA unless EVERYTHING is made in the USA. Could be some of the plastics are made in China.
A:AnswerHI Anonymous,
Thank you for your submission. In researching the information on both models, we were able to identify that there is a price difference between the two models and the model FRA085AT7 having the 1.7 dehumidification, which reduces moisture in the air along with the thermostat remote. Thank you for allowing us to assist with your inquiry.

A:AnswerHi Andy,
Thank you for your submission. In researching the information, we were able to identify that thermostat remote would have needed to come with model FRA085AT7, in order to be able to the feature properly. Thank you for allowing us to assist with your inquiry.

A:AnswerSome models have it. Not all. Best to look at the one you are interested in to make 100% sure. honestly though I live in Florida and humidity is the name of the game, but I never ever use mine. For me, the problem with a dehumidifier is we tend to leave it on all the time and this makes the air very very dry. While you may feel cooler, dry air can lead to nose bleeds and tends to promote more dust (no water vapor to weight it down and make it fall)
As for the 115v it is a standard wall type plug. It's a special cord with a breaker on it that makes it a 115v. No need for any special plugs or sockets.
