Friedrich PDERSG 265V ZoneAire Premier PTAC with Electric Heat, Durable Construction, Sound Reduction Technology, in White (12300)

Durable Construction

Superior materials and design reduce sound levels and improve overall guest satisfaction. Galvanized zinc coated steel wall sleeve and steel base pan undergo an 11-step preparation process, are powder coated with a polyester finish, and are oven-cured at high temperature for exceptional durability. Aluminum endplates reduce corrosion of the outdoor coil.

Energy Efficiency

Friedrich PTACs feature a super-efficient refrigeration design with EERs up to 12.0 and COP up to 3.55. Energy efficient heat pump models are also available in our complete line.

Comfort & Convenience

Intuitive unit controls are user friendly with easy-to-read LED display that can show either set point or actual room temperature as selected by owner. Dehumidification removes moisture in cool mode to improve comfort and reduce the chance of mold and mildew growth.
