Hi this is John with Designer Appliances. The Frigidaire Professional All
refrigerator and all freezer columns are some of our best selling appliances due
to their great price point as well as their design flexibility. However
oftentimes, we see customers make mistakes from ordering due to confusion
surrounding the proper dimensions required for installation. In this video,
we'll walk you through what makes Frigidaire Professional columns so
unique while also helping you avoid these costly mistakes. Refrigerator
columns are becoming very popular in kitchen renovations - they offer large
storage capacity and an attractive pro style design. However if you spent any
amount of time doing research on refrigeration columns, you'll see that
popular high-end brands demand price tags well over $7,000 for a single unit.
For a lot of families, that price point makes columns inaccessible. Frigidaire
saw this increase in demand for more refrigeration space and a lack of
competition at a lower price point as an opportunity to introduced their all
freezer and all refrigerator columns. Each has a much more reasonable price
point and can frequently be found on sale at our website for well under
$2,000 - you'll get a well-made and reliable column at almost one-third the
price of a high-end brand. Besides affordability the other reason
customers choose frigidaire professional columns is due to their wide range of
installation options, however this is where you'll need to pay close attention
to dimensions. Many customers make the mistake of assuming these columns are 30
inches wide, when in fact they're slightly larger at 32 inches wide and 71
and a half inches tall. Each unit can be installed independently and requires a
minimum cabinet cut out space of 33 inches wide and 72 inches tall.
Add a single trim kit and you'll get a truly pro style built-in look that
increases the height of the unit to either 75 and 1/8 inches or 79 and 1/8
inches based on whether or not you choose to use the included stainless
steel louver. Your cutout width will remain the same however your required
cutout height will increase to either 75 inches or 79 inches respectively. Note
here that the unit is actually an eighth of an inch taller than the cut out - this
is because the trim kit overlaps the cabinet by 1/8 of an inch for a seamless
design. That covers the single unit installations however our most popular
option is installing these as a fridge freezer pair. This will give you a
massive amount of storage capacity at 38 cubic feet which is about 50 percent
more capacity than a typical French door or side-by-side refrigerator. Allowing
you to keep your groceries in your kitchen instead of needing a separate
fridge or freezer for storage in your garage or basement. The total required
cut out for this pair installation is 66 inches wide and 72 inches tall.
The available dual trim kit will complete the setup and make the pair look like
one continuous unit in your kitchen. Again the cutout which stays the same at
66 inches however if the height will increase to the same heights as
mentioned previously for the single unit with trim kit. So we spent a lot of time
covering dimensions but this should help you avoid costly mistakes if you plan to
use these in your next kitchen renovation. For more information review

Frigidaire has done a thorough job of providing all the required cutout
dimensions for each installation option we discussed we'll leave a link down in
the description below but if you have any questions please feel free to give
us a call. When it comes to features the Frigidaire Professional columns have
everything you would expect from high quality refrigeration appliances. One of
our favorite Frigidaire innovations is their smudge proof stainless steel which
is the most effective coating in the industry. At almost sixty six inches wide
this fridge freezer pair is a lot of stainless steel so if you have kids or
if your guests can't keep their hands off your beautiful new appliances
keeping them clean and free of fingerprints can be a
challenge. The smudge-proof surface makes it effortless to keep your appliances
looking new. The all refrigerator and all freezer are designed to be
energy-efficient and quiet. Both offer precise temperature and
humidity control which help keep your food fresh and vibrant for as long as
possible as well as a pure air filtration system which removes up to
seven times as much odor as baking soda. In addition if you're installing these
as a pair you'll also have the inherent benefit of having a separate
refrigerator and freezer which prevents flavor transfer between the two units.
One of the questions customers ask us most about the freezer is whether or not
it includes an automatic icemaker and luckily this unit does include one. The
all refrigerator is also now available with a see-through glass door. Overall
build quality is what differentiates Frigidaire Professional over other
competitors and that can be noticed immediately in the thoughtfully
engineered interior of the columns. Frigidaire has maximized the use of
space with their space pro shelving bins and baskets. The glass shelves are
sturdy and adjustable. You'll also find luxury features such as bright interior
LED lighting and sturdy pro style handles.Whether you're doing a full
kitchen renovation or just need to replace older appliances, the Frigidaire
Professional Series will give you beautiful hard-working long-lasting
quality that makes your kitchen the heart of your home. If you need
durability and reliability, look at this brand to turn your kitchen into one
you'll be proud of. Shopping for appliances can be overwhelming and we
know it's a long-term commitment that requires planning and educated decisions.
