Multi-Talented PTAC Climate Control: The Friedrich Air Conditioner

Whether you're used to fully-optimized central air conditioning or have lived your life with a window unit in each room in your home， you might think you've seen every kind of cooling device. Even portable ACs are easy to recognize by their swiveling casters and ease of use. But the term "PTAC" might leave you scratching your head. An acronym for "packaged terminal air conditioner，" these machines are easy to recognize by hotel-dwellers and hospital workers—you can find these devices installed in almost every room there. That's because these appliances are easy to use， permanently installed， and customize temperatures within each room. Each space's temperature can be adjusted individually (unlike central systems)， meaning that one person's need for an extra-cool sleeping environment won't affect the rest of the home. This Friedrich PTAC takes these industrial-rated technologies and brings them into the home for a fully-functioning residence that's customized to meet every dweller's needs. And with 3.1 pints of moisture removal an hour as well as a multi-speed fan， you'll be able to keep things as cool (or as warm) as you'd like.

AC and Heating In One Device

While this Friedrich air conditioner and PTAC is designed primarily with cooling technologies in mind， it's also equipped with a powerful heating mode for when temperatures drop in the fall. Instead of removing all of your window units in a rush to seal up the home before the first frost， relax and switch your Friedrich air conditioner to heating mode. With the ability to alter temperatures in spaces that are 550-750 square feet， these 14，500 BTUs of power will bring your area up to a comfortable warm climate in no time. Whether you're heating or cooling， the Friedrich air conditioner is designed to function at a low volume. Instead of loud compressors and blustery fans， this machine's dual motors funnel all noise outside of the home， leaving you and your fellow occupants to enjoy comfortable temperatures in near-silence.

Friedrich PTACs are known for being feature-rich and backed by an AC-focused manufacturer. Our new models build on these strengths， with advanced engineering that delivers impressively quiet performance with expanded comfort settings. Here are just some of the enhanced features:

• Reduced sound levels: The two-motor design – one motor inside， one outside – allows the indoor motor to run at slower speeds， which sharply reduces indoor sound levels. Plus， the motors are permanently lubricated for quieter operation and increased durability.
• More comfort choices， quieter operation: Our 3-speed fan (cooling and heating modes) has nearly five times the surface area of a typical PTAC fan， allowing for more uniform airflow over a wider path. The result is faster， more even air distribution and quieter airflow. Guests/residents will appreciate having more comfort options. Plus， the soft start/stop fan delay reduces transitional noise usually associated with compressor start-up.
• Increased energy savings: Models have EERs up to 12.0 and COPs up to 3.4. Separate thermostat limits for cooling and heating provide greater control over temperature ranges. Of course， centralized desk control and compatibility with energy management systems can boost efficiency and lower operational costs.
• A universal heater/power cord simplifies installation， ordering: Installers can change the heat output simply by changing the standard power cord to the desired size. The optional cords connect as easily as a phone jack. Distributors can stock fewer PTAC models and optional power cords instead of numerous PTAC models. (Note: All wiring and building connections must be properly sized to accommodate the power cord. See model specifications for details.
