Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

EPIC Protect Plans

We're here for you if something goes wrong.

Our service plans can eliminate unexpected, out of pocket expenses for repairs with affordable coverage you can trust beyond the original warranty. It's peace of mind protection you can count on!

The protection you expect, the service you deserve.

When a problem arises and service is required, you need it fixed as fast as possible. But then you're faced with a costly repair bill. Are you and your budget prepared? Especially when you have no way of knowing when or how often service may be needed.

OutStanding performance

Dainges13 2/21/2023

This AC is WONDERFUL...I had originally wanted to install one of those split units but was leary of cutting a 4" hole in the side of my brand new house, not to mention $2,500 price tag attached to them. Then I discovered that window units have heat too!...32 degrees outside the day I installed and within a couple hours I had my 36' x 24' garage up to 70 degrees!! And I got it for $719($799 and then 10% off military discount at Lowes) and they delivered to the house!! 18,500 BTU will handle up to 1050sqft room....LOVE IT...COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!

Frigidaire Window AC with Heat Solved My Problem

TamyW 12/21/2022

Due to an interior stairwell in my apartment, I had great difficulty getting an AC/Heat unit to work effectively and efficiently due to the additional square footage the stairwell required and the AC always settling at the bottom. I already had Frigidaire products in the past and was happy with the performance so I tried this one. And, it worked! And worked very well! I recommend this product.

Frigidaire window unit

etsohal 9/29/2022

I chose this unit to replace the similar model that I had for 9 years. We live in New Orleans, and the unit runs all day, every day of the year, since it is in an enclosed attic area that does not have access to central air from the rest of the house. The new unit is cooling my 250 sq. ft. room perfectly.

Low Quality

Lowes167 9/5/2022

Poor design. Slide-out chassis causes air leaks causing the unit to run longer. Also allows bugs to come in. The frame is thin and flimsy. We are constantly adjusting the chassis & frame because it vibrates so much that the fan inside keeps hitting the styrofoam. Over time, it sounds like a helicopter. Choppy-noisy-irritating sounds. There is NO drain. Water builds up inside the unit until it hits the fan and then the water is flung out of the side vents. On humid days, not only does the water come out of the side vents, it pours out through the radiator at the back of the chassis. Our previous Frigidaire A/C was very sturdy and lasted almost 8 years. We bought this one because it was the same dimensions as the previous one. We quickly found out that the quality was terrible on the new model.

Super "Cool" model...it's "Hot" too!

MEKOOL 8/15/2022

This is my second 18,500 BTU Frigidaire AC/Heater I've owned. Because this is a 220v 30amp unit, the heater is fantastic to heat very large spaces. The AC maintains an excellent 30 degree difference between the ambient temp and the output, so you get superior cooling performance...and we should know what good cooling really is...our home is in Texas!You'll need to be sure to have your electrician install the proper NEMA 6-30P outlet, and this unit must be on its own circuit.

Good unit, cools well, pretty quiet.

Bama Bob 7/27/2022

We installed this thru-wall, not in a window. I really appreciate that their casings are made to accommodate either configuration. The unit went in easily and started up with no issues. We are using it in a 900 SF upstairs master suite in central Alabama and it is maintaining a comfortable temperature.

Terrific A/C unit

Fishbook 7/25/2022

This is a great air conditioner with supplementary heat for wintertime use. Came well packaged for safe travel. Basically ™€œPlug and play™€. Cools our house well with great features like energy saving setting, timer capabilities, and fan only once the outside air is cool enough to be helpful inside.

Butch 22 4/25/2022

Have not experienced this units cooling efficiency yet. Bought it early in the year so I would have time for through the wall installation and to run the appropriate power to the install location. I have had experience with the heating option though and I think it is great. Set the temp and the unit turns on and circulates the air and tests temperature of the room. If it is not up to temp it will continue to run until temp is at set point. If room temp is already at set temp it shuts down. For me, the heat is a great option. Summer will tell whether cooling is adequate.

thanny 9/13/2021

I owned previous model of this unit; worked fine for 6 years. Adequately provided heat and air for 70 x 14 foot trailer. New unit, easy install; just pulled old unit out of cabinet and slid new unit into old cabinet. Took less than 15 minutes. Don't forget Model # and serial # of new unit is on the outside of the cabinet. However, I was surprised remote control does not have a display...you have to walk over to the unit anyway, to see what is happening. Makes the remote pretty much useless, at least for my needs.

Quiet, Efficient, Air Conditioned Comfort

Happy Frigidaire Con 6/20/2021

I spent a great deal of time researching most air conditioners currently available to market consumers. So, when I finally settled on the Frigidaire unit I chose, my expectations were quite high. I™€™m happy to report they have all been met & exceeded. One push of the on button, & preset functions quietly take over to provide just the right amount of cool comfort, automatically turning off & on, as is needed to maintain a desired level of comfort. What could be more efficient? The unit can literally run itself, with minor adjustments towards an individual preference, making it quite suitable for anyone™€™s needs, at any given time.
