Shopping for a new one
The Friedrich KCVM14B10B runs above its category average. If the room air conditioner you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $123/year every year.

Protecting what you have
A room air conditioner like the Friedrich KCVM14B10B is a real household expense whether or not it needs replacing yet; a protection plan is one way to budget for a repair rather than a full replacement.
