THIS IS THE OUTDOOR UNIT ONLY. IT IS USED WITH BOTH CEILING CASSETTE AND DUCTED CEILING INDOOR SYSTEMS. PLEASE SEE FRIEDRICH-FPHC183 or  FRIEDRICH-FPHD183 FOR THE FULL SINGLE ZONE SYSTEM (INCLUDING THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNITS).

This outdoor mini split condenser features inverter technology to cool you space more efficiently than a standard air conditioner unit. A unit that has inverter technology offers variable compressor speeds that keep up with your comfort control needs. It uses variable capacity at the initial start up to reach your set temperature quickly. Once the set temperature is reached, the condenser reduces its capacity. And then, rather than shutting off completely like a standard air conditioner, it uses variable capacity to maintain your set temperature. An inverter system reduces your operation and energy costs by eliminating the constant compressor start-ups and shut-downs of traditional air conditioners.

The Friedrich FPHFR18A3A 18,000 BTU Floating Air Pro Series condenser is a single zone outdoor unit. It can be used with the Friedrich FPHFC18A3B Ceiling Cassette Unit or the FPHFD18A3A Ducted Ceiling Unit. 

Outdoor unit comes pre-charged with refrigerant sufficient for 25 ft. of line. This unit will operate in the cooling mode when temperatures are as cold as 5°F and will heat when outdoor temperatures are -4°F. 

Features of the Friedrich outdoor unit include:
  • Precision Inverter Technology / Variable Speed Compressor for energy efficiency and smooth performance
  • Soft Start Technology - starts compressor at reduced amperage
  • Easy, flexible installation - Your system will be up and running in just a few short hours in most cases.
  • DiamonBlue Advanced Corrosion Protection - Protects the outdoor coil against deterioration and extends the life of the unit especially in harsh coastal environments
  • Low installed cost - Ductless systems have a clear advantage over central air conditioning when ducts are not already present
  • Lower utility bills - Unlike central air conditioners that cool all the areas the same, ductless systems cool only those rooms you tell it to. No more wasted dollars on cooling unused rooms
  • Evaporator frost control
  • Permanent installation - Unlike traditional window air conditioners, mini split systems leave window views unobstructed. And, because it is a permanent installation, there is nothing to remove or store over the winter.

This unit must be installed by a qualified licensed HVAC technician.

 
Line Sets are not included.
 
The Friedrich Floating Air Series ductless mini split compressor comes with a 7 year (extended to 10 with product registration) parts and 10 year compressor Manufacturer's warranty. The option of adding a 5 year labor warranty to your coverage is also available (separately) at the time of purchase.
