Frigidaire: 11 DOE certified models
Frigidaire has 11 basic models certified to DOE as of 2026-11-03: 5 portable ACs (5,500 to 10,000 BTU/h SACC) and 6 dehumidifiers (22.27 to 60.01 pints/day under the 2019 DOE test). How their efficiency compares with their DOE class is below.
Key findings
- Highest certified cooling capacity among its portable ACs: Frigidaire FHPC142AA1 and Frigidaire FHPH142AA1 tie at 10,000 BTU/h SACC.
- Most efficient for its class: Frigidaire FHPC142AA1 and Frigidaire FHPH142AA1, tied at CEER 7.8, higher than 691 of the 1,044 single hose portable ACs certified to DOE.
- Highest certified water removal among its dehumidifiers: Frigidaire FHDP6033W1 at 60.01 pints/day.

How efficient are Frigidaire models?
Portable air conditioners
Of the 5 Frigidaire portable ACs, 2 file a higher CEER than the class median and 3 fall below it.
| Class | Frigidaire models | Above median | Class median | Best Frigidaire |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single hose portable ACs (1,044) | 5 | 2 | CEER 7.3 | FHPC142AA1 CEER 7.8 |
Dehumidifiers
Of the 6 Frigidaire dehumidifiers, 3 file a higher IEF than the class median and 3 match it.
| DOE class | Frigidaire models | Above median | Class median | Best Frigidaire |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day (296) | 3 | 3 | IEF 1.91 | FHDD3534Y1 IEF 2.01 |
| Portable dehumidifiers up to 25 pints/day (253) | 2 | 0 | IEF 1.7 | FHDD2233Y1 IEF 1.7 |
| Portable dehumidifiers over 50 pints/day (13) | 1 | 0 | IEF 2.8 | FHDP6033W1 IEF 2.8 |
A higher CEER means more cooling per watt. A higher IEF means more water removed per kWh.
Who makes Frigidaire portable ACs and dehumidifiers?
DOE's database has no manufacturer field, so the evidence is whose model number each unit is filed under and which other brands file the same unit.
None of the 11 Frigidaire basic models is filed by another brand as of 2026-11-03, and none uses another company's model number. DOE's records tie them to Frigidaire alone.
How much do Frigidaire models cost to run?
While cooling, Frigidaire portable ACs draw about 873 to 1,282 W (certified SACC divided by CEER). That's 16¢ to 23¢ an hour, or $38.05 to $55.88 for 30 days at 8 hours a day. The lowest is Frigidaire FHPC082AC1 (5,500 BTU/h SACC, CEER 6.3) and the highest Frigidaire FHPC142AA1 (10,000 BTU/h SACC, CEER 7.8).
Running nonstop at DOE's test conditions, the 6 Frigidaire dehumidifiers with both figures use 6.2 to 11.76 kWh a day. That's about $1.13 to $2.14 a day, or $33.77 to $64.06 for 30 days. The lowest is Frigidaire FHDD2233Y1 (22.27 pints/day, IEF 1.7) and the highest Frigidaire FHDD5033Y1 (49.95 pints/day, IEF 2.01).
Real use cycles on and off with the humidity, so the dehumidifier figures are the upper end for a day of nonstop running.
At 18.16¢ per kWh, the US average residential price for August 2026 (EIA Electric Power Monthly, table 5.6.A). Worked out from the certified figures.
Questions about Frigidaire
- Is Frigidaire a good dehumidifier brand?
- How its 6 dehumidifiers compare on efficiency with their DOE class is above. All 6 are filed under Frigidaire alone. We don't test reliability, noise or build quality, so we can't rank brands on those. How we compare models.
- Does Frigidaire make a 50 pint dehumidifier?
- Yes, by the 2019 DOE test: 3 of its models certify 49.5 pints/day or more, led by Frigidaire FHDP6033W1 at 60.01 pints/day. By DOE class: 2 in the up to 25 pints/day class, 3 in the 25 to 50 pints/day class and 1 in the over 50 pints/day class. How the 2019 test changed pint ratings.
- Which Frigidaire dehumidifier is the most efficient for its size?
- Frigidaire FHDD3534Y1, Frigidaire FHDD5033Y1 and Frigidaire FHDD5034Y1 tie at IEF 2.01: higher than 161 of the 296 in its DOE class (portable dehumidifiers, 25 to 50 pints/day). At the other end is Frigidaire FHDP6033W1, at IEF 2.8, tied with 7 others at DOE's 2.80 minimum.
