More Energy Saving Features from Friedrich
A Friedrich ultra efficient 10,000 BTU/h SS10L10 costs 15% less to operate than a comparable model with the required minimum efficiency of 9.8. We based our calculations on AHAM's 498 annual hours of operation and local energy rates of 15 cents per kilowatt hour.

But we think that's conservative because if you typically run your air conditioner during non-working hours Monday through Friday and also on the weekends, that adds up to 1485 hours between June and August. Consider this cost of operation savings table showing savings by years of ownership and number of units.

   MONEYSAVER MODE
When a unit is operating in "MoneySaver" mode, the fan automatically turns off when the compressor stops.

PROGRAMMABLE MODE Models with electronic controls feature programmable on/off times so that you can set your unit to turn off when you leave and back on before you return.

FRESH AIR INTAKE Sometimes outdoor air is cooler than indoor air. Models with this feature let air in by opening the fresh air intake and turning on the "fan only" setting to bring cool air indoors and it's more efficient than running the unit in cooling mode.

DRY MODE Provides better dehumidification so that you may feel comfortable at a higher temperature set point.
