Heat Pump and Backup Electrical Heat. This unit also features digital
LCD readout and one-touch operation. Travelers rated Friedrich's new
digital PTAC the quietest among five top competitive models (based on
results of a blind study of hotel guests comparing the Friedrich unit
to four of the top selling brands) and a full 15% better than the next
best unit on sound quality. More hotel guests said they would
''definitely sleep very well'' in the room with the new Friedrich unit
than with the other four competitors. And, Friedrich received twice as
many votes for ''best appearance'' than the next best scoring unit.
Friedrich's new PTAC is loaded with top-of-the-line engineered
capabilities like one-touch operation, internal diagnostics, remote
thermostat operation, wireless remote control (ready), emergency heat

top-mounted filters, a single motor design and aluminum end plates
improve serviceability and durability. In all, this PTAC boasts over 40
standard features.
And, the Friedrich PTAC comes with an antimicrobial-treated air
filter for protection against fungal and bacterial growth. Eighty
percent of hotel guests surveyed indicated that indoor air quality is
''very important'' to them. Even more, 88%, said they would ''definitely
stay'' or be ''more likely to stay'' at a property that had
antimicrobial-treated filters on its PTAC units.
