Kuhl is about choice.

When designing Kuhl, our engineers challenged convention to develop the most advanced window air conditioner on the market. Kuhl combines sophisticated controls, unrivalled quality, greater energy efficiency, and unmatched durability in one sleek performer.

You"ll find more options, features and ways to customize your cooling experience than you ever thought possible in a window air conditioning solution.


  • Kühl Control.

    Kühl is the first window air conditioner to provide the programmability and convenience of a central air conditioning system. An advanced 7-day programmable thermostat lets you program up to four settings daily, allowing each day of the week to have its own schedule. Easily adjust the temperature by using the arrow buttons on the unit's LCD panel or the wireless remote from across the room. Or choose to wire one or more units to a wall thermostat for simple, centralized control. Kühl can raise the room temperature while you're out and still have it back to a perfect 72° before you return. Save energy, money and maintain total control of your environment every day. Kühl control is also evident in the product's design. Kühl's engineers developed the unit's 8 directional louvers to be deeper and more robust to optimize airflow placement within a space. And Kühl features both a fresh-air intake vent and an exhaust vent that give you additional comfort options.

  • Kühl Construction.

    For over 125 years, Friedrich products have been renowned for their commercial-grade, built-to-last design. Advanced engineering, high-end materials and components, and rigorous product testing are just a few examples of Friedrich's commitment to quality. When designing Kühl, our engineers challenged convention to develop the very best window air conditioner on the market. Kühl incorporates high-end materials like heavy-gauge galvanized steel, rifled copper tubing, and high-tech aluminum fins. Kühl also uses the most durable components to extend the life of your air conditioner, including fully enclosed fan motors that seal out dirt, and powerful, energy-efficient compressors, which make Kühl as tough an air conditioner as we've ever built.

  • Kühl Quiet.

    Kühl has been painstakingly engineered for ultra quiet operation. Materials have been chosen because of their sound-absorption properties and every moving part has been braced and insulated. For example, extra thick rubber grommets absorb vibration and reduce noise inside, while steel inner walls and extra dense insulation block outdoor noise. Rugged hardboard side panels help reduce noise and keep out light. The unique air path is more streamlined, drawing air through the sides, away from moving parts. And our larger discharge vents allow for smoother airflow, delivering maximum conditioned air quietly.

  • Kühl Purity.

    Kühl's advanced dual-stage filtration system removes allergens, odors, ozone and other impurities from the air. By combining the optional carbon filter with the standard antimicrobial filter, Kühl achieves lab-tested superior air filtration with ratings as high as MERV 6. Use the fresh-air vent and the exhaust vent for additional air-quality control.

    When both vents are closed, Kühl cleans and conditions the air in your space. Open the fresh-air vent and Kühl purifies and conditions a moderate amount of outdoor air along with the air in your room. Use the exhaust vent to release stale air and odors outside.

  • Kühl Comfort.

    The most comfortable temperature is the one you never notice. Kühl uses five built-in environmental sensors to more accurately monitor indoor and outdoor temperatures so that it can maintain your ideal settings.

    Kühl+ models have the ability to cool or heat as needed so units can operate as year-round central systems. And, like the most advanced central systems, Kühl+ has auto-changeover, which allows the unit to automatically switch between air conditioning and heating functions to maintain the desired comfort level. You won't have to lift a finger.

    Kühl Colors.

    Kühl's streamlined modern design in Satin Silver can blend in with any d`cor. Or coordinate a look that complements your space by using any of the six colored front covers (sold separately) .

  • Kühl Efficiency.

    Kühl is our most environmentally friendly air conditioner to date. It operates up to 20% more efficiently than many competitive units, delivering more cooling capacity while using less energy. Further, most models meet or exceed ENERGY STAR® guidelines. Kühl uses non-ozone-depleting R-410A refrigerant, and all models even adhere to strict European RoHS requirements. Being energy efficient is better for the planet as well as your wallet.
