Here at Sylvane, we’re always on the lookout for the next great air conditioner. We think we’ve found it with Friedrich vertical terminal air conditioners (VTACs) and are excited to share these new products with you.
Perfect for multi-unit facilities, the Vert-I-Pak line of air conditioners from Friedrich are revolutionizing how we keep guests comfortable in hotels, assisted living facilities, and more. Keep reading to learn more about VTACs and why we love these new options from Friedrich.
What Is a Vertical Terminal Air Conditioner?
Vertical Terminal Air Conditioners, or VTACs, are vertical cooling and heating units that are typically installed in a space that’s hidden from view, such as a closet. VTACs are great comfort solutions for single or multiple rooms.
With their Vert-I-Pak line of VTACs, Friedrich has eliminated the need for installing multiple through-the-wall air conditioners while taking indoor comfort to a whole new level. Check out the top 5 reasons we love Friedrich Vert-I-Pak air conditioners and are sure you will too.
Reason 1: They’re Great for Multi-Unit Facilities
We’ve all checked into a hotel and the first thing we’ve noticed is that air conditioner sticking out of the wall, typically under the window. While they may cool us off, they’re not exactly the most attractive thing to look at. That’s why vertical air conditioners are such a great option. Ducted and closet-mounted, Friedrich Vert-I-Pak air conditioners are perfect solutions for:
- Hotels
- Extended Stay Properties
- Assisted Living Facilities
- Dorms/Student Housing
Reason 2: Improved Guest Comfort
Guests are going to love your facility when you install a Friedrich vertical air conditioner. Designed to be individually controlled and ducted, you can focus air where it’s needed the most, not just on the outside wall like with a PTAC or through-the-wall unit.
Not just for cooling, these air conditioners feature electric heat and multiple fan speeds for providing guests with a customizable performance.
Reason 3: They Just Look Better
Unlike other air conditioning options, with the Vert-I-Pak from Friedrich, the outside of your building is just going to look better. You won't have the condensing unit from a PTAC or window air conditioner cluttering up the outside of your building.
Since they're completely self-contained, you won't have to worry about running refrigerant lines from floor to floor in multi-unit facilities or having guests or tenants see those lines.
Reason 4: Easy Installation
As a facility owner, time is money. That’s why choosing a comfort solution that can be installed quickly is key to eliminating downtime and ensuring that you can quickly move guests in. Thanks to some impressive features, the Friedrich Vert-I-Pak is that option.
- Ready to Install: These air conditioners are prewired, charged, and piped. They're ready to install, requiring only electrical hookup.
- Multiple Installation Options: Easily install the Vert-I-Pak from any interior side – front, right, or left.
- Fits Any Wall Thickness: With telescoping wall plenums, they can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of wall thicknesses.
Reason 5: Individualized Performance
You may be thinking to yourself, vertical air conditioners are great but wouldn't installing a whole building solution be better? Installing Vert-I-Paks is an improved option for a few reasons.
- Independent Metering: Unlike with a central unit, there's no need to prorate energy usage. You can quickly assess your tenant's usage and bill them correctly.
- Lower Risk: If a central unit breaks down, your entire building is out of commission. With a vertical air conditioner, only the room or rooms controlled by the Vert-I-Pak are affected, not your whole facility.
