Frigidaire air conditioners: every model we track, compared

We track 35 Frigidaire air conditioner models: 23 window units, 6 through-the-wall units, 1 PTAC and 5 portables, 5,000 BTU to 24,000 BTU. 25 are in stock at a retailer right now, from $199. 3 CPSC air conditioner notices we hold name Frigidaire, from 2001 to 2025. Of the 35 Frigidaire models we track, 2 models carry model numbers named in CPSC recall 25-320 (Midea U and U+ Window Air Conditioners); their purchase links stay paused. The other 30 that state a model number are not named in a notice we hold, which is not a safety certification. 3 listings state no model number, so check the label on the unit itself.

How Frigidaire compares with other brands, size by size

At each standard size where Frigidaire and another brand both have a model in stock, we check whether Frigidaire's cheapest model is the cheapest, its best efficiency rating the highest and its quietest verified noise rating the lowest. A price counts as cheaper only by at least $20 and 5%, and only between models installed the same way (a do-it-yourself kit is not priced against an installer-fitted system); anything closer is level. We do not rate reliability: no public data reports repair rates by brand.

Prices are live retailer offers and change often; compare.ac may earn a commission on purchases, at no cost to you. Where one model number is sold as more than one listing, the row shows the cheapest and links the others. Portable units are often advertised by their older ASHRAE rating; the DOE's SACC rating is lower, so a portable's BTU does not compare directly with a window unit's.
