Key Features and Benefits of the Friedrich 12,000 BTU Vert-I-Pak

• High-Efficiency Performance: This AC boasts a 12,000 BTU cooling capacity and operates at 10.6 EER2 and 12.3 SEER2, ensuring optimal cooling performance and year-round cost savings. Equipped with heat pump functionality that operates in temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit, this system is suitable for warm and cold climates.
• Heating Performance: The heating output of this model ranges from 6,000 to 10,400 BTUs when outdoor temperatures are between 17 and 47 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat pump has a 6.3 HSPF2 (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) heating rating and can include an optional 2.5, 3.4, or 5.0 kW supplemental heater to boost its heating capacity.
• Optional Commercial Voltage: The Friedrich 12,000 BTU Vert-I-Pak Vertical Package AC Heat Pump 265V is designed for large buildings and commercial spaces with higher voltage wiring, as it requires a 265-volt power supply.
