Efficiency & refrigerant
Refrigerant type was not published for this listing. Note the 2025 transition: new residential systems must now use low-GWP refrigerant (R-454B or R-32) under the EPA AIM Act, while existing R-410A units remain serviceable.
Rebates & tax credits
This category does not have its own line in the federal 25C tax credit. Some matched-system components may still factor into a qualifying installation — confirm with your installer. See the federal credit details →
This is not tax advice. We do not know this exact model's certified efficiency rating, so we cannot say it qualifies for any specific amount. Eligibility depends on the installed system's AHRI-matched rating, your tax liability, and the home being your residence. Always confirm with your installer and a tax advisor.

A retailer "system bundle" is not proof of an AHRI reference number. Verify the match in the AHRI Directory.
Before you buy or install
A window air conditioner is sized by BTU to the room area — undersizing leaves the room warm, oversizing leaves it cold and clammy. Confirm the window dimensions, the electrical plug type, and whether the circuit can carry the unit. Most are owner-installable, but secure mounting and a proper seal matter for efficiency and safety.
Maintenance
Clean the washable filter every few weeks during the season, keep the coils dust-free, and store the unit dry. Check the window seal each season for efficiency.
