Hotel owners and operators know that finding the right cooling and heating solution for their building can quickly become a cumbersome task. You have to balance your customer’s need for comfort with your bottom line. If it doesn’t perform powerfully and quietly, customers probably aren’t going to be having a return visit. However, if it’s not efficient or not operating reliably, you’re not making a profit.
That’s why Friedrich Package Terminal Air Conditioners (PTACs) are designed to deliver a powerful energy-efficient cooling and heating performance while operating quietly. Keep reading to find out how these units can help provide your guests with a restful stay, and how they stack up against other options.
Powerful Commercial Grade Comfort
There’s none better than Friedrich at ensuring your guests remain comfortable during their entire stay. From models capable of cooling and heating spaces as small as 350 feet to options designed for large rooms up to 700 square feet, there’s a unit for any location. Their PTACs are built with some unique features for maximum comfort and usability.
- Cooling Relief: With units ranging from 7,700 BTUs to 15,000 BTUs finding the right cooling power for your room size has never been easier.
- Winter Heat: Comfort doesn’t have to be sacrificed when the outside temperature drops. Depending on the model you select, it’ll either be outfitted with an electric coil or heat pump heater. Both are effective solutions for creating a warm indoor environment.
- Always Easy to Operate: Powerful cooling and heating doesn’t mean much if your guests struggle to operate the PTAC. Friedrich models are designed with digital controls to make choosing a temperature, changing the operating mode, adjusting fan speed, and more, as simple as the press of a finger.
Energy Efficiency
Reducing cooling and heating costs is an important part of running any business. When you install a PTAC from Friedrich, you’re choosing a cooling and heating solution that’s tailored to meet yours and your customer’s individual needs. Unique design features allow these air conditioners to be some of the most efficient models available.
- Larger Coil Surface Area: An advanced coil design was designed to add more surface area helping to increase efficiencies.
- Reduces Energy Loss: Inside the unit is a thick steel inner wall that not only ensures that heat doesn’t escape your space but makes sure that your heating is as efficient as possible.
Typically, heat pumps are more efficient than electric coils, so if efficiency is a high-ranking concern of yours then you may want to narrow your search down to the following products.
- Rooms 350 Square Feet or Less: The Friedrich PTAC PDH07K3SG with Heat Pump features a 13.0 Energy Efficiency Ratio.
- Spaces up to 400 Square Feet: Choose the Friedrich PDE09K3SG PTAC and its 10.7 EER.
- Rooms up to 550 Square Feet: Use the Friedrich PDH12K3SG with Heat Pump and its 10.7 EER for efficient heating and cooling.
Simple to Maintain
Thoughtfully designed and built with durable materials, Friedrich PTACs are engineered to withstand the rigors of daily use. In even the most extreme climates and use, the commercial grade components provide consistent performance. Sometimes maintenance can’t be avoided.
That’s why Friedrich specifically designed their units to be easily accessed so that they can be easily serviced without causing undesirable downtimes. From the anti-microbial filter to the outdoor and indoor coils, to routine cleaning, service professionals can quickly perform routine upkeep.
Quiet Performance
When it comes to selecting a PTAC for your hotel, sound is an important factor. If the unit is loud and causes your guest to lose sleep, then they’re probably not staying with you again. Friedrich designed their models with four innovative features to deliver a quiet cooling and heating performance.
- Rotary Compressor: A quiet compressor creates a cooling air flow while running quietly thanks to vibration isolators.
- Lubricated Fan Motors: Not only do they increase durability, but dual permanently lubricated fan motors reduce indoor noise.
- Outdoor Noise Blockage: Inside of the unit is a steel inner wall and high-density insulation that helps to block outdoor noise.
- Tangential Blower Wheel: A unique blower was engineered to create a wide airflow path to fill the room with air more quietly than other fans.
