commitment to efficiency
According to the release, Friedrich’s FreshAire PTAC was chosen due to the company’s technology and efficiency. “Friedrich’s FreshAire PTAC system combines an energy-efficient inverter compressor with the ability to bring in conditioned make-up air—a first for PTAC units (according to the maker). The system meets ASHRAE 62.1-2013 standards that require the unit to bring in a specific amount of outdoor air and provide MERV 8 filtration. The Precision Inverter compressor with variable speed functionality allows the unit to deliver only the amount of cooling or heating needed for the room.”
“This is a great testament for our Friedrich team and the countless efforts we put into designing systems that exceed our customers' expectations,” said TJ Wheeler, Vice President of Product Management & Marketing. “Our products are industry-leading and the industry is awarding us for our commitment to efficiency, leadership and thoughtful design.”
