Description
Description
The Friedrich 9,000 BTU Vert-I-Pak Vertical Package AC Heat Pump is a sleek and versatile solution designed for year-round comfort in apartments, condos, extended-stay suites, and other commercial or residential settings that require a discreet, energy-efficient HVAC system.
By consolidating heating and cooling into a single vertical terminal air conditioner (VTAC), Friedrich’s Vert-I-Pak line is ideal for anyone seeking a space-saving, quiet, and powerful climate control solution.
Built around R-32 refrigerant and advanced components for cooling and heat pump operation, this AC model ensures dependable performance in spaces up to 400 square feet, even when outdoor temperatures dip. Its compact design tucks neatly in a closet or hidden utility space, providing a visually clean, unobtrusive setup that delivers robust air conditioning and supplemental heating.
Key Features and Benefits of the Friedrich 9,000 BTU Vert-I-Pak
- High-Efficiency Performance: Rated 10.6 EER2 and 12.3 SEER2 for optimal cooling performance at 9,000 BTUs, helping to lower operational costs year-round. Designed with heat pump capability down to 10 degrees F, it is an excellent choice for both warm and cold climates.
- Heating Performance: This model has a basic heating output range between 4,900 and 8,600 BTUs at outdoor temperatures between 17 and 47 degrees F. It heats with a 6.3 HSPF2 (Heating Seasonal Performance Factor) rating. It can also be selected with an optional 2.5, 3.4, or 5.0 kW supplemental heater to increase the AC’s heating capacity.
- Optional Commercial Voltage: Choose the Friedrich 9,000 BTU Vert-I-Pak Vertical Package AC Heat Pump 265V, for a model with a 265-volt power supply suitable for large buildings and commercial spaces with higher voltage wiring. This model has the same output, efficiency, and specifications as the 208-230 V model.
- Compact, Vertical Configuration: Free up limited floor and wall space with its discreet closet installation—this single-package vertical system fits seamlessly behind a return-air grille or inside a small utility room. The vertical design makes it a great alternative to conventional through-the-wall units or bulky outdoor condensers.
- Enhanced Indoor Air Quality: Vert-I-Pak’s passive ventilation design provides up to 60 CFM of fresh-air intake, helping to draw in fresh outdoor air and dilute indoor pollutants. 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 dynamically balanced blower system keeps the system’s operation as quiet as possible, which is essential for hotels, multi-family units, senior living facilities, and similar spaces where a peaceful environment is important.
- Integrated Defrost and Condensate Management: The automatic defrost cycle keeps the coil free of frost, while the advanced condensate removal ensures water is efficiently evaporated or drained, safeguarding against leaks and maintaining smooth operation.
- Flexible Thermostat Options: It is compatible with wired and wireless wall-mounted thermostats, including energy management models for centralized monitoring—ideal in professional or hospitality settings. Pair it with the Friedrich Wireless Remote Thermostat and Base Module for advanced wireless control of the Vert-I-Pak.
Designed for Simplified Maintenance and Longevity
One standout advantage of the Friedrich Vert-I-Pak is how straightforward it is to service and maintain. The chassis slides out easily for quick inspections or component replacements, so there is minimal downtime and inconvenience. Additionally, each core component—compressor, blower, coil—is engineered to last, with Diamonblue condenser coil corrosion protection for extra durability in humid or coastal climates.
- Flexible Installation: The Vert-I-Pak is designed to be installed from an interior side (front, right, and left), allowing greater flexibility in how the unit is positioned in a chosen space.
- 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 the Amana VTAC Drain Pan Kit.
