Product Features

• Programmable Timer: The 24-hour timer allows you to automate operation on your Friedrich air conditioner to maintain your designated settings while you’re away or asleep.


• Auto-Swing Louvers: To experience maximum comfort, use the air sweep function to direct cool air in an angle that best accommodates your needs.


• Reusable Air Filter: Save money on costly replacement filters with the washable air filter that comes standard with Friedrich ductless air conditioners. Simply clean the filter with warm water or a vacuum cleaner every three months.


• Sleep Mode: The sleep function keeps your space comfortable in cool, heat, and dry mode and it maintains a pleasant room temperature with quiet operation while you rest.


• Frost Control: During low-temperature operation, frost may begin to collect inside the air handler. If frost buildup occurs, the compressor will automatically shut down until the frost melts, protecting the unit from any damage.


• Minimal Upkeep: In addition to user-friendly operation, this single-zone ductless air conditioner features hassle-free maintenance. To preserve your Friedrich mini-split air conditioner, wipe the front panel of the blower unit with a cold, damp cloth and clean the reusable air filter periodically.


• Automatic Restart: In the event of a power failure, the Friedrich M09YH Ductless Air Conditioner will automatically resume operation in the last programmed setting once the power is restored. This function not only protects the compressor, but it also prevents circuit breaker damage.


• Quiet Operation: This ductless split system operates efficiently around the clock while emitting minimal sound. Because the condensing unit is positioned outside of your home, the indoor blower is virtually silent for little to no noise disruption in your indoor environment even on the highest setting.

Energy-Efficient Operation

This Energy Star-rated ductless air conditioner boasts several energy-saving features to help reduce your cooling costs. In addition to having an energy efficiency ratio (EER) of 12.5, the Friedrich M09YH Mini-Split System operates for approximately $54 a year. Plus, with a seasonal energy efficiency ratio (SEER) of 21, this mini-split AC guarantees efficient operation throughout a typical cooling season.

To help conserve energy, this 8,500-BTU mini-split AC also features an economy operation mode. This function consumes 30% less electricity on its maximum setting and it automatically adjusts the thermostat for the most cost-effective operation while heating and cooling. Additionally, the economy feature efficiently removes warm moisture from the air without increasing cooling power.

Fast Cooling Method

What sets Friedrich ductless air conditioners apart from typical air conditioner systems is their innovative cooling process. This Friedrich mini-split air conditioner starts the cooling cycle with maximum power to cool your space faster using inverter technology. This efficient cooling method helps you reach your ideal room temperature right away while conserving energy. While traditional air conditioners constantly cycle the compressor on and off causing uncomfortable temperature fluctuations, the Friedrich M09YH Mini-Split AC accurately accesses your current room temperature and uses the appropriate fan speed to maintain a comfortable temperature. Inverter technology helps you avoid the up and down cooling output of traditional ACs and it uses approximately 30% less electricity.

Deluxe Remote Control

Mini-split air conditioners are usually installed high on the wall, making the control panel hard to reach. So it is important to have a custom remote control that lets you operate the indoor blower unit from a distance. The Friedrich 8,500-BTU Split Air Conditioner comes with a deluxe remote control with a convenient remote control holder that you can mount on the wall for easy access.

The LCD remote features several soft-touch buttons that allow you to control every function of your ductless air conditioner. The electronic display screen features user-friendly icons that help you monitor the current temperature and timer settings. Additionally, these icons display which operating mode is in use, making it easy to program your ideal settings.

Multi-Functional Capabilities

In addition to providing efficient cooling in spaces up to 375 square feet, this mini-split air conditioner also functions as a heater. The Friedrich M09YH Ductless Air Conditioner gives you more bang for your buck and provides consistent comfort in every season with the following operating modes:

Cool – In cooling mode, this Friedrich ductless air conditioner draws in 447 cubic feet of hot air per minute and exhausts it outside to the condenser unit through the connection pipe. Using 8,500 BTUs of cooling power, this mini-split system effectively reduces heat, creating a cool indoor environment.

Fan – Fan-only operation is beneficial on cool nights when maximum cooling is not necessary. While the cooling mode works to eliminate heat with a constant stream of cool air, the fan mode uses less cooling power to ventilate your space. With three fan speed settings – high, medium, and low – the Friedrich M09YH Air Conditioner produces fresh air circulation to prevent indoor stuffiness.

Dry – In addition to cooling your home and ventilating your space, this system also improves your indoor air quality by eliminating room humidity. When the air in your space is warm and moist, it not only makes you feel hot and clammy, but it also makes your air conditioner work twice as hard to cool your space. In dry mode, the Friedrich M09YH Mini-Split System functions as a dehumidifier, removing 2.7 pints of excess moisture every hour so the compressor can consume less energy while cooling.

Heat – The built-in heater allows you to set the thermostat to warm temperatures up to 88 degrees Fahrenheit. When switched to heat mode, the Friedrich M09YH operates the fan on the lowest speed setting for up to 5 minutes before dispersing an even distribution of heat. This mode also features a minimum heat function, which maintains a room temperature of at least 50 degrees Fahrenheit to keep your indoor environment from getting uncomfortably cold. The heater effectively warms your space with a heating capacity of 10,000 BTUs.

Auto – When programmed to operate in auto mode, this ductless mini-split air conditioner monitors the air quality in your space and automatically starts the cooling process, fan cycle, or drying method to accommodate the current condition of your indoor air.

Advanced Options

This 8,500-BTU mini-split air conditioner is equipped with the following enhancements:

• Turbo: The turbo function activates the maximum cooling setting. This feature enables you to set your ideal room temperature for immediate comfort. With the press of a button, the cooling system will use the highest fan speed to reach your set temperature right away.
• Sensor: For effortless operation, use the sensor feature. This function determines the current room temperature and automatically adjusts the settings to an optimal level.
• Extend: The extend feature prolongs operation for 10 additional minutes after the programmed settings have expired. This function can be used only in cool and dry mode.

Convenient Ductless Installation

The Friedrich M09YH Ductless Split System consists of one blower unit that installs inside and one condenser unit that installs outdoors. The wall-mountable blower unit, or air handler, connects to the condenser unit through a Friedrich refrigeration line set (sold separately). The indoor air handler pulls in hot air from the room and transfers it outside to the condenser through the pipe lines.

The blower unit should be mounted 6 inches below the ceiling and at least 8 feet above the floor of the room you choose to install the AC in, giving you plenty of placement options. While you don’t need an exterior wall in your space to install a ductless split system, installation does require a 3-inch wall opening for the connection lines.

*Note: This Friedrich ductless split system requires professional installation by a HVAC-certified technician.
