ALL OF THE ADVANTAGES OF DUCTLESS SPLIT SYSTEMS AND FRIEDRICH QUALITY
Zero duct loss
According to the DOE, ducted
systems lose an average of 25-40% in performance due to leaks, cracks or disconnections in ductwork.
No ductwork means that ductless systems do not experience duct loss, saving energy and money.
No dirty air ducts*
With a ductless system, there’s no need to clean dirty air ducts that can harbor dust, germs and allergens that are eventually blown into your home or office.
Zone cooling flexibility
Independently condition up to four separate zones using only a single outdoor unit. Cool or
heat only the zones that are in use. Set individual comfort levels for each zone.
Optimized airflow
4-way air swing quickly disperses cool or warm air to all four corners of the room to provide comfort throughout.
The 'Surge Air' feature moves air at an even higher speed for rapid cooling.
Available built-in Wi-Fi
Easily adjust settings and power units off and on with your smartphone. The FriedrichGo™ app is easy to set up and use. Compatible with Amazon Alexa or Google Home.
Wi-Fi available on Premier and Pro wallmounted models, and on Pro ceiling
cassette models.
Friedrich Precision Inverter® delivers exceptional energy efficiency and smooth performance
Precision Inverter technology varies the compressor, the outdoor and the indoor fan speeds, eliminating constant compressor start-ups/shut- downs that traditional systems require to maintain the set temperature.
Each system can adjust capacity and cooling output to provide only the amount of cooling needed at a given time. The result is optimal comfort with low energy costs.

System cycles on and off continually to maintain the set temperature.
Variable capacity maintains set temperature keeping space comfortable with reduced energy consumption.
Soft start technology
Friedrich soft start technology starts the compressor with significantly reduced amperage at start up, saving energy versus compressors utilizing locked rotor amperage (LRA).

A UNIQUE DESIGN MAKES FRIEDRICH—
THE EASIEST DUCTLESS TO INSTALL, CLEAN & SERVICE
EXCLUSIVELY ON FLOATING AIR PRO AND PREMIER SERIES
The Problem
On typical ductless indoor units, accessing the indoor coils is extremely difficult and takes so much time that a thorough cleaning may be next to impossible.
Access to piping, wire terminal blocks, the fan and fan components is also a challenge.
The Solution:
Friedrich FastPro was designed with the HVAC technician in mind. In a few easy steps that can be performed
in minutes, the entire blower wheel assembly can be removed for easier, faster cleaning and service.
