Features
- Energy Star Rated: With a 10.5 energy efficiency ratio (EER), this 12,000 BTU through the wall air conditioner can effectively cool rooms up to 550 sq. ft and dehumidify up to 2.5 pints per hour. Perfect for medium to large bedrooms, living rooms, basements, bathrooms, or family rooms. (Product is not suitable for window installation).
- Smart Remote Control: With a thermostat built into the remote control, it's able to sense the temperature of the room and adjust as needed. The 'Follow Me' remote makes it easier to control the unit from anywhere in the room and its integrated thermostat signals the AC to cool the space based on where you are.
- Front Access Filter: Let’s face it. Filters collect dust. With our front-access design, cleaning that dusty filter is a piece of cake. Simply pull it out, vacuum or rinse and dry, and slide back into place for a reliable clean. An easy clean washable and reusable mesh filter makes maintenance hassle free. The unit will alert you through the Check Filter signal when it is time to clean.
- Custom Cooling: While there are 3 cooling modes and 3 fan speeds pre-programmed, you have flexibility. The Auto option will automatically ramp up and down the fan speed to keep you’re pre-set temperature constant. The Energy-saver mode conserves energy and saves you money by turning off the compressor once your desired temperature is reached. This AC unit is ideal for climate control in your home, apartment, bedroom, or living room.

If you don’t have a sleeve, the matching Keystone KSTSLV1 is also available for purchase (sold separately), which allows for an easy, sturdy installation.
