Friedrich KCVM14B10A
window air conditioner · 13,900 BTU cooling · fits ~695 sq ft
A window AC rated 13,900 BTU — enough cooling for a room of roughly 695 square feet (the 20-BTU-per-square-foot rule).
What actually decides this purchase
We publish 33 units at 14,000 BTU. They run within $34 a year of each other — but they sell for $480 to $995, a 2.1× spread. Efficiency is not what decides this purchase at 14,000 BTU; price, noise and whether it fits your window are. Here is where this unit lands.
At $500 this is at or under the 14,000 BTU median of $565, which is the half of the decision that moves real money — every unit at this size runs within $34 a year of every other, so the efficiency ranking below is a tiebreak, not the argument. Worth comparing against the TCL T14WV9SB at $480 and the Midea MAW14RV1CCWT at 41 dBA for $565.

Noise
Not published
The maker publishes no dBA figure we could verify, and noise is not part of the DOE certification. It is the most common complaint about window units, so treat its absence as a real unknown.

A window AC is a self-install unit: you set it in the window (or wall sleeve), no contractor or refrigerant charge needed. We verified this listing against the certified record: same brand, the same 13,900 BTU cooling capacity, the same window AC form factor, and in stock at the price shown. Its title doesn’t carry this model number, so treat it as the current equivalent rather than a guaranteed identical SKU.

Efficiency & running cost — computed by Verified HVAC Data
Worth keeping in proportion: every unit in the 14,000 BTU class runs within $34 a year of every other. The gap between the cheapest and dearest to buy at this size is 15× larger. Efficiency is the smallest number on this page, which is why it is not at the top of it.

Frequently asked questions
Is 13,900 BTU right for my room, or should I size up?
About 695 square feet is the guide figure, and 33 certified units sit on that shelf. The next shelf up is 15,000 BTU (7 units), about 750 sq ft. Below it, 13,000 BTU (5 units) covers about 650 sq ft. Between two shelves, take the smaller one: oversizing is the usual reason a unit cools but leaves the room clammy, which our sizing calculator explains.

The certification record doesn't publish reliable full dimensions for this unit, so measure your opening and compare against the seller's listing before you buy.
Sources. Certification and CEER from ENERGY STAR room-AC data and the DOE compliance certification database. Cooling capacity, dimensions and refrigerant are the manufacturer-certified values. Annual running cost, suggested room size and the percentile are computed by Verified HVAC Data from published ratings and EIA U.S. average electricity prices — see our methodology. Refrigerant GWP is the IPCC value. We publish no star ratings and take no payment for placement. "Not published" means the source registry doesn't disclose it — we never fill a spec with a guess.
