Frigidaire FHWC083TC1 Window Air Conditioner 8000 Btu/h

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE FHWC083TC1 is an 8,000 BTU/h window-mount room air conditioner designed for residential cooling applications. It installs in a standard double-hung window and is serviced by HVAC technicians or qualified installers. The unit delivers 6-way directional airflow across three fan speeds, allowing the installer or end user to direct conditioned air for optimum room coverage. A programmable 24-hour on/off timer with half-hour increments and a Sleep Mode that gradually adjusts temperature overnight are built-in features that support energy management without additional controls.

The FHWC083TC1 is suited for single-room residential installations where a window-mounted solution is appropriate. Typical applications include bedrooms, living rooms, and home offices in apartments or houses. The unit ships with a remote control for fan speed and temperature adjustment from across the room. An Automatic Restart function restores the unit to its last operating settings after a power interruption, reducing the need for manual reconfiguration after outages.

Installation Notes

Window air conditioners of this class are typically installed by HVAC technicians or experienced general contractors following local mechanical and electrical codes. Disconnect power to the circuit before beginning electrical connections and verify the outlet and circuit rating match the unit requirements. The window frame and sill must be structurally sound and capable of supporting the unit weight before installation. Do not operate the unit without the window mounting hardware and side panels fully secured.
