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 12,500 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.

Sized for ~625 sq ft — measure your room and check your window type before you buy.

Frequently asked questions

Is 12,500 BTU right for my room, or should I size up?

About 625 square feet is the guide figure, and 5 certified units sit on that shelf. The next shelf up is 14,000 BTU (33 units), about 700 sq ft. Below it, 12,000 BTU (91 units) covers about 600 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.

Will the Friedrich KCVS12B10A fit my window?

Measure your window opening first — it needs to be at least 26" wide (the cabinet width), and the unit is about 16" tall and 29" deep, roughly 110 lb. Most double-hung windows fit units in this range with the included side panels, but confirm your window's inside width and minimum height.

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.
