This single zone mini-split heat pump offers 12,000 BTUs of cooling power, making it ideal for areas up to 600 square feet.

Top features include various operating modes, efficient inverter technology, durable construction, and a 24-hour programmable timer. It’s a common choice for large bedrooms, basements, apartments, home additions, and more.  

Quiet Operation

Since the compressor is housed outside, this mini split creates minimal indoor noise. This makes it a great choice for bedrooms or any other area you don’t want to be disturbed. Turn on Quiet mode for even less noise as you sleep.

Durable and Efficient Design

Heat pumps are also naturally an efficient way to heat and cool rooms because they transfer air instead of heating/cooling it and then releasing it back into your home. Additional efficient features helped it earn a 14 EER, 25 SEER, and Energy Star seal.

Friedrich’s inverter technology adjusts its output based on your set temperature, so only the amount of energy needed is used—thus avoiding over-heating or over-cooling your room. Yearly costs are an average of $71.29. Other efficient features include the programmable timer, Sleep mode, and multiple fan speeds.

The Friedrich HM12YJ is also backed by DiamonGold Advanced Corrosion Protection, which allows for years of use. You can buy it confident the outdoor unit will stand up to tough exterior environmental conditions.

Programmable Features

Use the wireless remote control to program settings on the Friedrich HM12YJ mini-split heat pump. In addition to setting your ideal room temperature, you can also turn on automatic mode. In this mode, cool, heat, or dry mode will turn on based on your ambient and set room temperature.

You can also use the 24-hour programmable timer to set your mini split to turn off in advance. You can set it in one-hour intervals up to 24 hours. While it’s a convenient feature, it can save on energy costs by ensuring your Friedrich only runs when needed.
