THIS IS THE OUTDOOR UNIT ONLY. PLEASE SEE FRIEDRICH-FSHW183A FOR THE FULL SINGLE ZONE SYSTEM (INCLUDING THE INDOOR AND OUTDOOR UNITS).

This outdoor mini split condenser features inverter technology to cool you space more efficiently than a standard air conditioner unit. A unit that has inverter technology offers variable compressor speeds that keep up with your comfort control needs. It uses variable capacity at the initial start up to reach your set temperature quickly. Once the set temperature is reached, the condenser reduces its capacity. And then, rather than shutting off completely like a standard air conditioner, it uses variable capacity to maintain your set temperature. An inverter system reduces your operation and energy costs by eliminating the constant compressor start-ups and shut-downs of traditional air conditioners.

One of the newest features of the Floating Air Select Series is the use of the refrigerant R32. As the US moves away from R410A refrigerant, manufacturers are using alternative replacement refrigerants. R32 is the replacement refrigerant being used in Friedrich's line of Floating Air Select Series mini split systems. R32 features a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675. The larger the GWP, the more that specific gas warms the Earth. Below is a comparison chart of GWPs now being used by manufacturers versus R410A which is being phased out.

GWP Refrigerant Comparison

The Friedrich FSHSR18B3B 18,000 BTU Floating Air Select Series condenser is a single zone outdoor unit. It can be used with the Friedrich FAHFW18A3B Wall Unit. The Friedrich Floating Air Select Series Single Zone Systems feature high efficiency ratings, low ambient heating and cooling capacities. The Friedrich FSHW183A is rated for 18,000 BTU cooling and 18,000 BTUs heating capacity. It will operate in the cooling mode with outdoor temperatures as low as 5°F. In the heating mode it will continue to operate down to -4°F. While it cannot be used as your primary heat source in the majority of the country, it is an option for secondary heat!

Outdoor unit comes pre-charged with refrigerant sufficient for 25 ft. of line. 

Features of the Friedrich outdoor unit include:
  • Inverter Technology for energy efficiency and self-adjusting capacity to meet your cooling requirements
  • Easy installation - Your system will be up and running in just a few short hours in most cases.
  • Low installed cost - Ductless systems have a clear advantage over central air conditioning when ducts are not already present
  • Lower utility bills - Unlike central air conditioners that cool all the areas the same, ductless systems cool only those rooms you tell it to. No more wasted dollars on cooling unused rooms
  • Ultra quiet operation - Ductless systems are in sharp contrast to other types of air conditioners where the rush of air from ducted vents can be annoying, or where compressor noise of window units can be objectionable
  • Permanent installation - Unlike traditional window air conditioners, ductless split systems leave window views unobstructed. And, because it is a permanent installation, there is nothing to remove or store over the winter.

This unit must be installed by a qualified licensed HVAC technician.

 
Line Sets are not included.
 
The Friedrich Floating Air Select Series ductless mini split compressor comes with a 7 year (extended to 10 with product registration) parts and 10 year compressor Manufacturer's warranty. The option of adding a 5 year labor warranty to your coverage is also available (separately) at the time of purchase.
