Friedrich Zone Aire 13,500 BTU Portable Air Conditioner and Heater w/ Heat Pump

Friedrich  Zone Aire is an air conditioner, a dehumidifier, a fan and even a heater in one. Its dual-hose design cools up to 40% faster and prevents air leakage. This unit has a self-evaporative condensate system exhausts condensate outside, so there’s no bucket to empty. The unit’s condensate overflow protection turns off the unit if the overflow tank becomes full. In addition, there’s no installation, just vent it and plug it in. 

Cooling for Maximum Effectiveness

Zone Aire’s dual-hose design provides up to 40% faster cooling and greater energy efficiency than single-hose units because indoor air is not vented to the outside and wasted. Only indoor air is conditioned and returned to the room. Competitors’ single-hose designs rely on air leakage from doors and windows to make up for lost air volume as cooler indoor air is exhausted to the outside. A single-hose design takes longer to cool and uses more energy than ZoneAire’s dual-hose design. 

Energy-Efficient Choice

The Energy Star program (run jointly by the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency), does not rate portable air conditioners for efficiency or award the Energy Star logo. But with an EER up to 9.5, Zone Aire is among the most energy-efficient portable units available. Fast cooling when and where it’s needed 

Zone Aire doesn’t require a complicated, permanent installation, just vent the dual intake and exhaust hoses to the outside through a window or wall opening. The convenient window slider kit included with each unit fits both horizontal and vertical window openings between 26"and 46", and can be trimmed to fit even smaller openings. EZ-roll casters simplify transporting the unit from location to location. And when it’s not in use, store Zone Aire in a closet.
