Power while cooling: From the maximum cooling draw its retailer lists for this exact model. An hour's cost is at that draw and the US average electricity price of 18.44¢/kWh (U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Monthly Table 5.6.A (residential average, May 2026)). The compressor cycles once the room is cool, so most hours cost less.
Will it fit your wall sleeve?
Its cabinet is its sleeve: it goes in a window, or through a wall in an opening sized for its chassis (Q, S, M or L). Friedrich says its sleeve sizes have not changed in over 45 years, so a new Kuhl fits an existing Friedrich sleeve of the same size. Its side air intakes must stay clear, so the wall can be no thicker than Friedrich's limit for that size (8½ in. for Q, 7⅜ in. for S and M, 15⅛ in. for L).

- Uses R-32 (GWP 675), the low-GWP class new US residential equipment moved to.
Installation & the rules that apply
This is a window-or-wall air conditioner. In a window it follows the same rules as any window unit. Through a wall it sits in the maker's own sleeve, and cutting a new opening usually needs a building permit and, in a condo, co-op or historic building, approval first.
