Featuring an inverter compressor and the award-winning, patented FreshAire® make-up air system, this PTAC unit is engineered to help meet ASHRAE 62.1 standards with unmatched precision. It’s the only make-up air model on the market that fully conditions and dehumidifies outside air before delivering it to the room—ensuring optimal comfort and indoor air quality. With ultra-quiet operation that’s quieter than rainfall, and an integrated MERV8 filter for enhanced air filtration, FreshAire PTAC sets a new benchmark. The FreshAire PTAC is not just best in class—but truly in a class of its own.
Friedrich’s FreshAire® PTAC system helps meet ASHRAE 62.1 by delivering up to 52 CFM of MERV 8-filtered outside air. Patents-pending technology conditions and dehumidifies the air before distributing it into the room.
Friedrich's FreshAire® PTAC is engineered for efficient cold climate performance, operating in outdoor temperatures as low as 25°F. With built-in auto defrosting, the system continues to utilize the heat pump even in colder conditions, reducing reliance on electric heat and maximizing energy savings during winter months.
With just two inverter models covering a broad 6,000–16,000 BTU range, Friedrich’s FreshAire® PTAC simplifies selection while meeting diverse room air needs. Rated capacities of 9,000 and 12,000 BTU allow for optimized sizing to ensure ideal run times and effective dehumidification.
The FreshAire® PTAC’s variable-speed operation allows it to match room demand with precision, reducing noise and eliminating the harsh start-ups common in single-speed systems. Operating at less than 60 dBA, it delivers comfort—quieter than a typical rainfall—for a more peaceful guest experience.
Paired with Friedrich’s two-way communicating wall controller, the FreshAire® PTAC receives real-time data on setpoint, occupancy, and relative humidity. This enables intelligent system adjustments for customized comfort and optimized performance tailored to the specific needs of each space.
