The Smoothest PTAC Sound Available

The variable-speed operation of the FreshAire PTAC allows the unit to work at the optimal speed to match the true load of the room. This not only provides the best energy consumption curve but it also adds to guest comfort by eliminating the harsh start-ups associated with single speed compressors.

Comfort & Convenience

Intuitive unit controls are user friendly with easy-to-read LED display that can show either set point or actual room temperature as selected by owner. Dehumidification removes moisture in cool mode to improve comfort and reduce the chance of mold and mildew growth.

Maintenance and Installation

Modular product design ensures easy access to key components for cleaning and repairs, including washable, lift-out air filters. Surehold Front Cover System securely attaches the front each time. Unit may be installed low to the floor.
