In a perfect, eco-friendly world, we would all stay cool by dabbing crystal, cold stream water on our pressure points and fanning ourselves with giant leaves. But in the actual world we live in, much of the United States has been facing a record-setting heatwave for weeks and, for some, there's only one way to combat it: air conditioning.And, for lots of us, keeping your room at a comfortable temperature is safer than battling the heat on your own, especially for kids, pets, and the elderly, and with these energy-efficient air conditioners, you can chill out about your energy use, too.The Friedrich Kuhl Plus Series comes with one function that's probably the last thing on your mind: It also acts as a heater. Designed to work when temperatures drop as low as 50 degrees or shoot up as high as 115 degrees, it's a conditioner that will keep your space warm on chilly September nights -- while it's still too warm to heat the whole house -- and cool on stifling August days.The front cover comes in six different colors, just in case you're tired of white, and the 9,500 BTU unit is 30 percent more efficient than the government standard.

The company also promises "heavy duty construction" with parts like copper tubing, aluminum fins, and commercial-grade motors, so you won't have to replace it after this year's heatwave takes its toll.
