Lowe's - Frigidaire Window AC Units roughly 50% Off - B&M YMMV

It looks like Frigidaire is delivering their new models later this month, and Lowe's is clearing out the "old" models.

You need to put in your local zip code to see the reduced price on these models. PLEASE NOTE that not all models are available in all areas, so this is YMMV. The cheaper models have a much greater than 50% savings; however, as you get into the more expensive models the savings is less than 50%.

Frigidaire® 5,000 BTU Window Room Air Conditioner (Model: FAX050S7A) was $220, now $96

Frigidaire® 6,500 BTU Window Room Air Conditioner (Model: FAA074S7A) was $307.69, now $138

Frigidaire® 8,000 BTU Window Room Air Conditioner (Model: FAA087S7A) was $364.62, now $117 in some zip codes, $167 in others

Frigidaire® 10,000 BTU White Air Conditioner (Model: FAC107S1A) was $416.92, now $158

Frigidaire® 10,000 BTU Slider Casement Air Conditioner (Model: FAK104R1V) was $553.85, now $359

Frigidaire® 12,000 BTU Window Room Air Conditioner (Model: FAC127S1A) was $450.77, now $199 in some zip codes, $249 in others

Frigidaire® 15,100 BTU Window Room Air Conditioner (Model: FAM157S1A) was $592.31, now $279 in some zip codes, $329 in others

Frigidaire® 18,500 BTU White Air Conditioner (Model: FAM187S2A) was $630.77, now $299

Frigidaire® 25,000 BTU Window Room Air Conditioner (Model: FAS257S2A) was $781.54, now $399

There may be other models in your area. These are all I could find when putting in zip codes for California and Connecticut.

EDIT: YMMV PEOPLE! I tried some more zip codes. Mississippi, Florida, Alabama all appear to be full price. Texas is on sale. If it says "Arrives in store on or before June 22, 2008" then you're SOL and the AC's are full price.

the new lower prices are barely decent on the lower capacity models. i doubt they ever sold at the "original" prices. i tihnk i bought the 6500 btu model a year or two ago for $125 and dumped it on craigslist the next day - it was way noisy and kind of junky. thanks for the effort though op.

I just checked all of them. they were ALL FULL PRICE..... and YES I did put in my zip code. on the right hand side.

I tried the following zip code, checked 5 stores or so... none.

these are basic a/c units ... they aren't efficient (the 5kBTU has an EER of 9.7, which means it's not EnergyStar Compliant) ... they don't have remote controls ...

go to Costco, and get modern, remote controlled units for significantly less... if you're buying two or more, the difference in cost could outweight the membership fee! (especially if your electric provider gives EnergyStar Rebates on window A/Cs)

Did extensive A\C shopping yesterday and these prices aren't spectacular. Almost all area B&Ms were the same price for each size. No way these sold at 'original' prices here in Southern NJ. We did buy the 18,500 BTU listed here for $349 yeaterday (had some gift cards to help lower the price). Decent unit, pretty quiet and worked very well overnight in Energy Saver mode. I was surprised to see how much of this unit is styrofoam, Even the condensation discharge is made of styrofoam. Had to purchase because our 9 year old Maytag (POS) literally blew up mid afternoon yesterday (98 degrees outside!) As for price matching Home Depot, every Home Depot we were at was wiped out of units AND don't even sell Frigidaire to do the price match.

Dead deal, but for comparison got a remote control ES compliant 5300BTU unit yesterday at Costco for $120 - 30 IR and -$20 MIR. Net cost $69.

IR might still be in effect, MIR is dead.

The original deal is not dead.

Yeah, I just bought two, don't know where grumps rebates come into the picture...

Did you notice that's a 220v unit?

Yes, I did. This will replace an old one that went out.

NOT Dead in Upstate NY!

I was looking the 10,000 BTU window unit for 208.00 for my poor old parents who are unaccustomed to 98 degree weather in PA in June... their local store isn't getting more until Thursday, and was promised it will be the same price. A guy at my local store said the 208 is normal price and not a clearance price. Clearance or not, it's a great price. Thanks OP, hopefully the 'rents will be able to get one soon.

Side note, owning both a Frigidaire and Kenmore ACs, I find the Kenmore to be quieter, but for a Kenmore 10,000 BTU energy star compliant model it's $270.. and $62 is a big deal to my parents.

Thanks for your help community.

DITTO NW Atlanta area.

I guess they figure since it is so friggin hot here in Atlanta, they can charge the max for quite a while.

Why didn't you return it to the store for full credit?

Lower prices here in Central Florida(34743)

Picked up the 10k at the lower price in Maine, this morning.

Good luck!

I checked the first 3 and they all have the lower price and I'm in Florida (Miami to be exact) but I have to pick them up in Homestead. Thats not a problem though.

I am interested but like to know how easy (or difficult) is the installation. Does it lower the property value once we install?

Thanks OP! Gotta try one today. Green for u.

I bought one of the small 500 BTU and installed last week. And yes, it's not quite efficient enough indeed (although I have a larger room to cool). My suggestions go for at least the 6.5K one that has better EER than the 5K ones.

I guess what I'm saying is how efficient (really) are even the "Energy Star" models? A/C is an inefficient thing. How many watts does that 25,000 pull? I'd be scared to see. These little 5000 units I bought use 510 watts each, that doesn't seem bad at all.

Umm 220 uses half the watts of 110....so don't be afraid.

DavidS1567 said: do some google searching for "BTU room calculator air conditioner" to determine the BTU requirement for your cooling area. BTW, I bought the 12,000 BTU a couple weeks ago and love it!

thanks, it seems that since this is going in kitchen that 15,100 btu's will just be enough for the room itself.
However I can't buy larger b/c then it seems that they're all 230 volts.

thanks
