Commercial window air conditioners can be one of several things. Either you are looking for a commercial grade durable window air conditioner, a window unit with a higher BTU in order to cool a larger space, or a unit that features commercial cooling power. There really isn’t such a thing as a commercial only window unit. Whatever it may be that you’re looking for, here is a quality model in each of those categories.
Commercial Grade Durability
• The Friedrich SS10M10 has 9500 BTU which has enough cooling capacity to cool a 425sq ft room. It has 8-way air direction, 4 fan and cooling speeds, a 24 hour timer, a remote, and much more. It also has an EER of 12 which makes it Energy Star compliant. It is one of the most durable models available. It is part of Friedrich’s Kuhl series. All of the Kuhl series window air conditioners are made with commercial grade materials such as heavy steel. They are also designed to be quieter than any other commercial window air conditioners. Any Kuhl model by Friedrich receives relatively good reviews and ratings. Owners of these particular window units especially rave about the durability.
Higher Capacity
• With 28000 BTU, the Frigidaire FRA296ST2 can cool a larger room up to nearly 2000sq ft. This unit has 24 hour timer, 3 fan and cooling speeds, a remote control, multi-air direction, anti-microbial mesh filter, and an energy saver mode. It has a sleep mode, energy saver mode, and an auto cool function. It also uses R410A refrigerant which is eco-friendly. This high capacity unit receives good ratings and reviews from its purchasers. However, it isn’t very energy efficient with an EER of only 8.5.
Commercial Cool
• Haier CWH24A is a 23800 BTU window air conditioner that is also capable of heating at 16000 BTU. This unit is part of Haier’s Commercial Cool series. It has a 24 hour timer, an energy saver mode, remote control, 4-way air direction, an easy access washable filter, auto restart, and multiple cooling, heating, and fan settings. It also uses R410A refrigerant. This unit, like the Frigidaire FRA296ST2, has an EER of 8.5. Haier has several other models that are part of their Commercial Cool Series if this one doesn’t have exactly what you are looking for.
Since commercial window air conditioners don’t actually exist, as listed above, there are several options to choose from that will help you to buy a more commercial friendly product. Whether it is the durable window unit that uses commercial grade materials, a unit with a higher BTU for a much larger space, or part of Haier’s Commercial Cool series, you shouldn’t have a problem finding a window unit suitable to all of your needs. All of the above brands listed, have several units with various capacities within the same criteria in order to help you find what you need. Good luck in finding a commercial window air conditioner that is right for your space.
