Model: Frigidaire FHTE083WA1
The Frigidaire FHTE083WA1 is an 8,000 BTU through-the-wall air conditioner with 4,200 BTU of electric heat, built for rooms up to 350 sq ft — a bedroom, a home office, or a small apartment living room. It installs in a wall sleeve instead of a window, plugs into a standard 115-volt outlet, and runs on R-32, the lower-GWP refrigerant replacing R-410A in new room air conditioners.

Who it’s for
- Apartments, condos and additions with an existing through-the-wall sleeve
- Replacing an older wall unit without giving up a window
- Rooms that need cooling in summer and a little heat on cool spring and fall days
Will it fit my wall sleeve?
The FHTE083WA1 cabinet is 24" wide x 14.5" high. It slides into a standard through-the-wall sleeve with an outside size of 26" wide x 15.5" high, in walls up to 18" thick; the sleeve’s steel walls and the included trim kit take up the gap between the cabinet and the opening. Sleeves run 16–22" deep (the Frigidaire 912001373 is 17.5"), and the unit is 21.5" deep, so it can extend past a shallower sleeve. Frigidaire’s installation instructions also cover several common existing sleeves, including GE/Hotpoint/Amana, Friedrich (WSE and USC) and Fedders/Emerson, and an EA120T adaptor trim kit is available for larger sleeves. The sleeve itself is not included — measure an existing sleeve before you order, or add the Frigidaire 912001373 wall sleeve for a new opening.
