You’re always hearing how Maytag Brand products provide outstanding durability. Now, you can see for yourself by checking out this news story about a Maytag® washer and dryer purchased by a Pennsylvania couple in 1967 that’s still going strong! The Maytag® Repairman paid them a visit, and the story was aired by the local news station. When Maytag® offered to replace the couple’s laundry pair, they refused because the pair still worked.
In these times, purchasing a long-lasting appliance is more important than ever. Customers expect their washer and dryer to last at least 10 years, and a Maytag® washer and dryer pair like the ones in the video more than exceeds those expectations.
By the looks of the thermostat, it’s getting hot again! Although I feel it, I’m happy to report, that I’m inside my office for most of the day.
Under my brand-new 9,000 BTU SoleusAir (Thank you!) 13 SEER Energy Star ductless mini-split air conditioner, heat pump, I might add!
Since the heats a-swirlin’, we’re bringing in another truckload of Airwell-Fedders room air conditioners. These units will be able to slide into most manufacturer’s existing wall sleeves (cans), including GE, Carrier, Friedrich, and Fedders. Although most older air conditioners being replaced today are 220V, some models that are 110V/115V need to be replaced. So we’re bringing in some 10,000 BTU 110V/115V air conditioners that measure 24″ wide, 14 1/2″ tall, and under 22″ deep.
If you have a sleeve that’s larger than that, not to worry, these models come with trim-kits that slide over the front to make any replacement gaps unnoticeable.
These replacement air conditioners with solid-sides and rear-vents are our most popular items since many multifamily apartments replace these on a regular basis.

Now that the cash-for-clunkers auto program is over, the government has set aside more than 300 million dollars for appliance rebates.
When consumers turn in old appliances and purchase new, energy-efficient appliances they are eligible for $50-$200 in rebates.
Feder’s Distributors has a huge selection of Energy Star appliances and air conditioners in-stock that can be delivered or picked-up within one business day. If it isn’t in-stock, we can usually get it within a day or two for delivery within two or three business days.
Please contact one of our well-versed associates for more information on this “Cash-For-Appliances” program!
Want to stay cool, but you only have a sliding or casement window in your room? Utilize it for a vertical air conditioner:
Vertical Air Conditioner
Many people don’t know that air conditioners are made for this purpose alone! You’d be surprised at how often we hear a customer ask if they can turn a window air conditioner on its side!
Not A Vertical Window Air Conditioner!
Slider/Casement air conditioners, as they’re called, work much better than a regular horizontal air conditioner for these types of windows. If a regular horizontal air conditioner, made for a double-hung window is installed, a plywood or plexiglas feel would need to be fabricated above the air conditioner to fill the gap.
Although a bit more expensive than regular double-hung window air conditioners, some manufacturers do make them. All vertical air conditioners measure 14½” wide by 20½” high and come in 5,000 BTUs to 15,000 BTUs cooling only.
If you’ve been reading our posts during the past couple of months, you’ll already know that more than fifteen truckloads of room air conditioners, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and portable air conditioners have been ordered and off-loaded into our now-fully-stuffed warehouse in North Hollywood.
Enough buying already, we need to start selling these units! So, in the middle of the Summer, we’ve drastically reduced the prices on all models at AAFeders.com!
So, if you’ve been putting off purchasing an air conditioner because you think the Summer is almost over, or because it was too expensive, now is the time to buy! Many of the models we carry are already priced at 10%-25% lower than most retailers, but now they are even lower! And when you purchase an high-efficient Energy Star air conditioner, you could still qualify for up to $150.00 in additional rebates!
Don’t wait any longer, prices will keep going up! Please contact us if you have any questions: 866-333-3770
Ductless air conditioners are called “mini-split” systems because they are similar to a regular ducted split central air conditioner, only on a smaller scale. A split system means that the compressor/condenser unit is located outdoors and “split” from the indoor cooling coils/blower. Just a small three-inch diameter hole is cut in the wall to run the tiny refrigerant lines and electric wires to the indoor cooling units.
With the compressor outdoors and an indoor cooling unit mounted high on a wall or ceiling, they are super-quiet (sounds like a “whoosh”). These units are typically even quieter than many ducted central air conditioners. In a central unit, huge amounts of air must wind through complex ducts with many bends and shape changes, all of which contribute to noise.
Mini-split ductless air-conditioners are a preferred option to trying to use several room air conditioners to cool an entire house. Window units may block the window.
Nowadays the efficiency ratings of ductless systems (SEER from 10 to 19) are as high or higher as the top-of-the-line central air conditioner (SEER up to 16), and they can still be more efficient than window, wall and even central units. Since mini splits have no ducts, they avoid the energy losses associated with ductwork of central forced air systems. Duct losses can account for more than 30% of energy consumption for space conditioning, especially if the ducts are in a unconditioned space such as an attic.
Heat pump models are also available for keeping warm. If you hate that first shot of chilly air in the winter each time the furnace or heat pump blower starts, select a ductless model with a soft, slow start and a pre-heater for the air. For colder climates, some of the heat pump models also have backup electric resistance heat.
Ductless, mini split-system air-conditioners and heat pumps (mini splits) have numerous potential applications in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings. The most common applications are in multifamily housing or as retrofit add-ons to houses with “non-ducted” heating systems, such as hydronic (hot water heat), radiant panels, and space heaters (wood, kerosene, propane).
They can also be a good choice for room additions and small apartments, where extending or installing distribution ductwork (for a central air-conditioner or heating systems) is not feasible. Applications in other types of buildings include: recording studios, school classrooms; perimeter cooling for office buildings; additional cooling for restaurant kitchens; and cooling for small offices within larger spaces, such as arenas, warehouses, and auditoriums.
The primary disadvantage of mini splits is their cost. Although, costs have decreased dramatically during the past few years, such systems can cost about $600-$2,000 per ton (12,000 Btu per hour) of cooling capacity. This is about 10% more than central systems (not including ductwork) and may cost twice as much as window units of similar capacity.
The installer must also correctly size each indoor unit and judge the best location for its installation. Oversized or incorrectly located air-handlers often result in short-cycling, which wastes energy and does not provide proper temperature or humidity control. Too large a system is also more expensive to buy and operate.
We have almost a thousand 8,000 BTU and 10,000 BTU Goldstar air conditioners in stock!
These are hard-to-find window *or wall* air conditioners that come with a slide-out chassis for easy installation. Pricing on these units is amazing as you can see on our website. Just look for the Goldstar models WG8005R (8,000 BTU) or WG1005R (10,000 BTU) that mention the slide-out chassis in the description. You may not be aware that Goldstar is manufactured by LG (Lucky Goldstar sometimes referred to Life’s Good)!
Usually, you can find 8,000 or 10,000 BTU air conditioners for a lower price, but they do not come with a wall sleeve. If you plan to install a small air conditioner through your wall, make sure it comes with a sleeve and a slide-out chassis in case you need to service it or replace it in the future. You won’t want to break your wall to get it out!
By the way, if you’d like to install an air conditioner in a window (whether it be a double-hung window or a slider or casement window), we sell those cheaper than anyone else in the country too.
Please call us toll-free anytime during our normal business hours: 866-333-3770 or check our website.
If you do, in fact, see one for less, we will ALWAYS beat any competitors’ sale prices, so please contact us before you purchase from somewhere other than Feder’s Distributors!
