Let’s say you’re converting your garage into a game room. You don’t want to install expensive ductwork. Even with insulation and drywall, the walls won’t be very thick. Your current system can’t handle the extra load of cooling an additional room. And your HOA restricts where you can place an outdoor compressor.
A PTAC addresses all these considerations.
It doesn’t require ducts. It’s shallow enough to mount flush with the exterior of your home while taking up less floor space inside. A heat pump model can effectively cool and heat the room without straining your existing system. It’s an all-in-one unit, so outdoor condenser placement isn’t an issue. And it can be a less-expensive option than some other built-in solutions.
PTAC, the slim thru-the-wall air conditioner, is ideal for room additions and conversions, sunrooms, workshops and greenhouses.
Enhanced design and features
Friedrich PTACs deliver impressively quiet performance with expanded comfort settings. Here are just some of the enhanced features:
Reduced sound levels: The 2-motor design – one motor inside, one outside – allows the indoor motor to run at slower speeds, which sharply reduces indoor sound levels. Plus, the motors are permanently lubricated for quieter operation and increased durability.
More comfort choices: Our 3-speed fan (cooling and heating modes) gives you more options, including a quieter low fan setting.
Better air distribution: The new fan (“tangential blower wheel”) has nearly 5 times the surface area of a typical PTAC fan. The new, elongated design moves more air over a wider path, which means faster, more even air distribution and quieter airflow.
Energy savings: We have models with EERs up to 12.0.
A universal heater/power cord: You can change the heat output simply by changing the standard power cord to a different size. The optional cords connect as easily as a phone jack.
