Tools and Hardware Reviews of Frigidaire FAX052P7A Window Unit Air ConditionerCustomer Review: Small AC unit does a big job Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this AC unit Frigidaire FAX052P7A Window Unit Air Conditioner primarily for it's small size as I wanted to cool my basement where I have a large screen TV, office and computer, but I wanted to do so without the expense of cooling the whole house. I've tried a portable AC units that exhausted interior air out a window through a hose, but I found that causes warm outside air to be drawn into the house with the net effect of no cooling, only more electrical usage. A split AC system would be the answer, but they cost ten times as much as this small window AC unit.
To mount the AC unit I removed the basement window and made a mounting plate from half inch pressure treated plywood and attached it to the window frame with stainless steal screws to prevent rusting. I intend to leave the AC unit installed permanently and just cover it in the winter. The unit's air filter slides out of the right side of the front panel, so I offset the unit in the mounting plate to allow the filter to be removed for cleaning.
In testing the AC unit I turned it on high cool and measured an output temperature of 40 degrees Fahrenheit, which is good given the volume of air. After an hour of running the water being removed from the basement was dripping from the outside part of the unit, which is a good sign that it's functioning normally. Being a basement doesn't have the heat load of an above ground room, I expect this small AC unit will do an adequate job of cooling and dehumidifying my basement.
Durring the summer months I calculated that this unit will save me about $40 per month in electricty compared to runing a 12,000 BTU AC unit installed in a room at the top of the basement stairs that I have been using to cool the basement through convection, which required keeping that room at 63 degrees Fahrenheit. Thus, this AC unit should pay for itself in a single cooling season.
