How is FREECOM^® different from
other portable air conditioners?

Energy Efficient Unique design features
Reliable Stylish Quiet

• California Energy Commission (www.energy.ca.gov)
  Specifications for all FREECOM^® products have been reviewed and certified by the California Energy Commission. California leads the USA in promoting energy efficiency in air conditioning products and household appliances.
  
  
• Lightweight, Compact and Energy Efficient
  Bigger is not better. Through the use of comprehensive engineering design and current technology such as proprietary Ripple Finned Copper Tube with Louver Fin coil design, solid state PC circuitry and injection molded cabinets, FREECOM^® products offer energy efficiency with maximum cooling capacity in a compact, attractive non-corrosive, light weight cabinet.
  
  
• Matsushita Rotary Compressor Motors
  FREECOM^® products use Matsushita brand rotary compressors in combination with proprietary Ripple Finned Copper Tube with Louver Fin coils and low wattage dual motors (models RCS-M2000T, RCS-S3000T). This engineering feat is the envy of the industry offering FREECOM^® owners quiet operation and maximum energy efficiency. Matsushita compressors are the most efficient, reliable compressors available worldwide.
  
  
• Quiet Operation
  Many of the features in FREECOM^® products incorporated for energy efficiency also promote quiet operation. An important feature in a FREECOM^® product is the air movement or CFM (volume) factor. To reduce air noise FREECOM^® products are engineered to deliver maximum CFM at a lower velocity. This equates to faster space cooling with substantially lower noise levels.
  
  Buyer Beware: Don't be fooled by high velocity products, CFM is the important factor.
  
  
• State of the Art Electronic Controls
  FREECOM^® products feature current, trouble free PC technology with "fuzzy logic memory" and soft touch key pads.
  
  Buyer Beware: Avoid outdated technology found in products that use obsolete "Knobs/dials" and mechanical switches.
  
  
• Easy to maneuver
  Years of product testing have resulted in FREECOM^® products designed for user-friendly mobility. From balanced weight distribution to heavy-duty castor wheels and ergonomically designed carrying handles. FREECOM^® products can be moved from room to room quickly and easily.
  
  Buyer Beware: Avoid products that are "top heavy" and can tip over when moving. Avoid heavy, large metal cabinet products that are cumbersome to maneuver.
  
  
• Reliable air-air design (no water required) Air to air design is simply the best, offering both convenience and cooling consistency.
  In the air conditioning industry, air-to-air design is perhaps the oldest and most reliable method for transferring or removing heat in room air conditioning products.
  
  Note: In the dryer southern states, a specialty product is used for cooling and is commonly referred to as a "swamp cooler". These products are different from standard air conditioners in that they do not remove/transfer heat but circulate moist (humidified) air. Water is required for these products to operate effectively. Swamp coolers, may not be suitable for moisture sensitive equipment (computers) and not widely recommended for use in areas with high humidity conditions.
  
  Buyer Beware: Some brands of portables may require you to add water (water cooled) to help increase or maintain the product's heat transfer capability. With these "water cooled" products if you forget to add water the cooling capacity may be reduced by as much as 30% or more.
  
  
• Dual Fan Motors For maximum cooling effect and energy efficiency FREECOM^® models RCS-M2000T and RCS-S3000T are engineered with a separate evaporator and condenser fan motor.
  
  Buyer Beware: Avoid products that utilize a single fan motor. These cheaper designed products are less efficient.
  
  
• Large Selection of Condenser Air Venting Kits
  Why do I need a vent kit? All air conditioners must vent or exhaust the heat that it has collected from the room or space that is being cooled. This hot air is referred to as "condenser air". For the typical portable air conditioner (FREECOM^® models RCS-M2000T and RCS-M1000T) a flexible hose is packaged with the air conditioner to exhaust the condenser air outside. Solid heavy duty molded fittings are included with the hose and are easily attached to the air conditioner. The condenser air hose can be attached to a window, sliding door, through a wall or ceiling. FREECOM^® offers optional venting kits for these and other applications.
  
  FREECOM^® window and sliding door adjustable vent kits are attractive and durable. Stylish polished aluminum panels and integrated rubber sealing gaskets are unique in the industry.
  
  Note: FREECOM^® model RCS-S3000T is designed in two pieces. A separate outdoor unit is used to remove heat. This two piece design offers the highest energy and cooling efficiency rating. A condenser air hose is not required for model RCS-S3000T.
  
  Buyer Beware: Some brands of portables offer plastic window vent kit panels. These kits have a short life span and are prone to cracking and are difficult to seal in a window, reducing cooling and energy efficiency.
  
  
• Condensate Water Collection and Draining
  During the cooling cycle, all (real) air conditioners dehumidify or remove moisture from the air. All FREECOM^® products are designed with special integrated tanks to collect and store condensate water. When the tank is full, FREECOM^® products will automatically shut off with both audio and visual (light) warning functions.
  
  Model RCS-M2000T can be equipped with a option continuous draining feature.
  
  Model RCS-S3000T is designed with internal pump and unique "slinger" design to evaporate condensate water and increase the outdoor condenser efficiency.
  
  Buyer Beware: Avoid stand alone products that do not have accessible, internal condensate tanks. These outdated product designs require you to physically lift the product up to accommodate draining.
  
  Avoid products that exhaust condensation water through the condenser air hose. A kinked or broken hose could result in flooding or water damage to your home/office.
  
  
• Special Quick Disconnect Fittings for Model RCS-S3000T
  Differing from model RCS-M2000T and RCS-M1000T, FREECOM^® model RCS-S3000T comes in two sections, an indoor unit (evaporator/cooling) and outdoor unit (condenser). The two sections are connected at the factory using specially designed refrigerant lines manufactured for flexibility and durability using neoprene hose with stainless steel braiding. The lines are encased in an attractive one-piece sheath.
  
  In most applications the line set does not have to be removed or disconnected. However, should it be necessary to disconnect the line set, FREECOM^® model RCS-S3000T is designed with proprietary technology that allows you to disconnect and connect the refrigerant lines without worry of discharging excessive amounts of refrigerant. Refrigerant loss from FREECOM^® model RCS-S3000T is less than .0002% per disconnecting/(re) connecting task. Plug in electrical and condensate water drain line are included to enhance fast and convenient separation of the indoor and outdoor units.
  
  Buyer Beware: Avoid products that are "hard piped" with refrigerant line sets that must be cut and re-welded resulting in substantial refrigerant loss and require recharging of refrigerant.
  
  
• Recognition worldwide for reliability.
  With a component failure rate of less than one half percent FREECOM^® products set a standard in the industry and are used as a benchmark for manufacturing excellence.
  
  
• Modularized component design.
  Unfortunately, FREECOM^® products are not infallible. In the rare situation that a FREECOM^® requires service, the internal components have been designed for modular breakdown. This unique feature provides easy access to all internal components which means quick repairs, minimal reassembly and reduced labor repair costs.
  
  
• Five Year Warranty
  The motor compressor in all FREECOM^® products is covered for a full five years. For the first year the product is covered by a limited parts and labor warranty. For years two to five the compressor is covered by a parts only limited warranty. See written warranty for details.
  
  
• ITS (ETL/ETLc) safety rated (www.etlsemko.com)
  To ensure product safety for consumers, all FREECOM^® products are designed, tested and approved in accordance with ITS (ETL) standards. ITS is recognized worldwide for product safety testing. ETL is the abbreviation for Edison Testing Laboratory.
