At a glance
Who it's for
Cooling a single room of about 760 sq ft — a bedroom, office or apartment — that you install yourself, no contractor.
The standout number
CEER 12 — the room-AC efficiency number; higher means a lower summer electric bill.
The catch
A through-the-wall unit needs a wall sleeve (buy the matching sleeve if you don't already have one) — check the opening size before you order.

Rebates & incentives
This unit is ENERGY STAR certified, which a few utility rebates ask for. The federal 25C credit expired December 31, 2025, and it never covered room ACs anyway; the live money is state and utility programs. Check what applies where you live on our rebates page.

Frequently asked questions
What size room does the Friedrich WHVT14B33A cool?
It puts out 15,200 BTU of cooling. The common rule of thumb is 20 BTU per square foot, so it suits a room of about 760 square feet with 8-foot ceilings. Sunny rooms, kitchens or spaces with many people need a bit more; heavily shaded rooms a bit less.
How efficient is the Friedrich WHVT14B33A?
It is rated CEER 12. CEER (Combined Energy Efficiency Ratio) is the DOE test number for room air conditioners — the higher it is, the less electricity the unit uses for the same cooling. This model uses about 38% less energy than the federal minimum for its size.
What does the Friedrich WHVT14B33A cost to run?
We estimate about $179 a year to run it — roughly 950 kWh, at U.S. average electricity prices and a typical cooling season. Your climate and local power price move the number; running it fewer hours costs less.
Does the Friedrich WHVT14B33A need a wall sleeve?
Yes — through-the-wall units slide into a wall sleeve. This unit measures 27" wide, 15" tall and 21" deep and weighs about 115 lb. Check that your existing sleeve opening matches, or buy the maker's sleeve.

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.
