Description
Description
The Friedrich 12,000 BTU Vert-I-Pak Vertical Package AC Heat Pump is a versatile, energy-efficient HVAC system. Its sleek design is perfect for year-round comfort in apartments, condos, extended-stay suites, and other commercial or residential settings that require a discreet HVAC solution.
Friedrich's Vert-I-Pak line offers a space-saving, quiet, and efficient climate control solution by combining heating and cooling into one vertical terminal air conditioner (VTAC) unit.
This AC model, designed for spaces up to 550 square feet, uses R-32 refrigerant and advanced components to deliver reliable cooling and heat pump operation, even in low outdoor temperatures. Its compact design allows discreet placement in a closet or utility space, maintaining a clean and unobtrusive appearance while providing effective air conditioning and supplemental heating.
Key Features and Benefits of the Friedrich 12,000 BTU Vert-I-Pak
- High-Efficiency Performance: This AC boasts a 12,000 BTU cooling capacity and operates at 10.6 EER2 and 12.3 SEER2, ensuring optimal cooling performance and year-round cost savings. Equipped with heat pump functionality that operates in temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit, this system is suitable for warm and cold climates.
- Heating Performance: The heating output of this model ranges from 6,000 to 10,400 BTUs when outdoor temperatures are between 17 and 47 degrees Fahrenheit. The heat pump has a 6.3 HSPF2 (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) heating rating and can include an optional 2.5, 3.4, or 5.0 kW supplemental heater to boost its heating capacity.
- Optional Commercial Voltage: The Friedrich 12,000 BTU Vert-I-Pak Vertical Package AC Heat Pump 265V is designed for large buildings and commercial spaces with higher voltage wiring, as it requires a 265-volt power supply. This model shares the same output, efficiency, and specifications as the 208-230 V model.
- Compact Vertical Design: This vertical system saves space and can be installed behind a return-air grille or in a small utility room, freeing up floor and wall space. This single-package system is easy to install in a closet and offers an alternative to conventional through-the-wall units and bulky outdoor condensers.
- Enhanced Indoor Air Quality: Vert-I-Pak's passive ventilation design draws in fresh outdoor air to dilute indoor pollutants and provides up to 60 CFM of fresh air intake. This model also supports a 25 x 20-inch MERV 13 filter to catch fine dust, allergens, and other airborne particles.
- QuietMaster Engineering: Specialized insulation, robust gasket seals, and a “Free Floating” chassis design reduce vibration transfer into living areas. A peaceful environment is essential for hotels, multi-family units, senior living, and similar spaces, so the system’s operation is kept as quiet as possible by a dynamically balanced blower system.
- Integrated Defrost and Condensate Management: The advanced condensate removal system efficiently evaporates or drains water, preventing leaks and ensuring smooth operation. Meanwhile, the automatic defrost cycle prevents frost buildup on the coil.
- Flexible Thermostat Options: The Vert-I-Pak is compatible with various wired and wireless wall-mounted thermostats, including energy management models suitable for centralized monitoring in professional and hospitality environments. It can be paired with the Friedrich Wireless Remote Thermostat and Base Module for advanced wireless control.
Designed for Simplified Maintenance and Longevity
The Friedrich Vert-I-Pak is engineered with long-lasting core components, including a Diamonblue condenser coil that provides enhanced corrosion protection for humid and coastal environments. Its chassis slides out for easy access to components, minimizing maintenance time and inconvenience.
- Flexible Installation: The Vert-I-Pak is designed to be installed from an interior side (front, right, and left), allowing greater flexibility in the unit’s position.
- Required Accessory: This model requires the Friedrich Vert-I-Pak Wall Plenum, a two-part telescoping sleeve inside the exterior wall.
- Optional Accessory: The Vert-I-Pak also supports the Friedrich Vert-I-Pak Return Air Grille/Access Panel, the Friedrich Vert-I-Pak Architectural Louver, and this Amana VTAC Drain Pan Kit.
