Friedrich has been setting the standard in air conditioning innovation since 1883. Based in San Antonio, Texas, the company started out making furniture before moving into refrigeration. By the 1950s, they added air conditioning to their offerings — and today, are renowned for their premium cooling systems that deliver long-lasting durability, energy efficiency, and smart functionality for residential and commercial environments alike. From classic window units to advanced ductless mini-splits, Friedrich products are engineered for performance and precision. Their popular Kühl, WallMaster, and Chill units offer rugged reliability with customizable controls — making them a favorite with growers who need consistent comfort in challenging climates. For those with more modern needs, the Floating Air series of ductless mini-splits are equipped with inverter-driven compressors that provide ultra-efficient temperature regulation, along with smart home integration and SEER ratings reaching up to 28. Whether you're outfitting a grow room, office, or apartment, Friedrich systems are built to deliver quiet, efficient, and premium cooling. One of their most popular units is the ZoneAire Compact ZCP08SA, a powerful portable AC perfect for tight grow spaces or rooms with limited window access. Another standout system is the Floating Air Premier 9000 BTU Mini-Split — offering whisper-quiet operation, smart controls, and precise cooling for rooms up to 400 square feet.
