Can anyone recommend a small window unit AC (5000-10,000 BTU) that is really quiet? In particular, I’m looking for something that is quiet from the outside as well, as we can hear this AC running from our bedroom window and also from our back porch. I’ve read that Panasonics and Sharps are pretty quiet — does anyone have any experience with a specific model that is quiet from the outside? Thanks in advance!

  1. I bought the Friedrich CP10 in 2009. It is the same unit Panasonic used to make. But, it is no longer a quiet AC. (It was pretty quiet when marketed by Panasonic.) Sounds like a truck. I now need to replace my 8000 btu Panasonic (which is really quiet)and don’t know what to do. Friedrich also sells it, but given the situation with the 10,000 btu, am pretty wary. PC Richards is recommending Friedrich’s x-star. Anyone have any info on its sound?

  2. those Quite units i think people a referring to are actually fan power boxes so it only a fan but its piped to a remote condensor compressor somewhere its not a bad alternative to central air because yo can eliminate retrofitting ductwork in a renovatedd histork house and have essentially a zoned system since each room has a fcu with duct system you would need vavs which is a little much more residential.
