Friedrich’s Precision Inverter® variable speed compressor adjusts up or down based on need, providing the user precise temperature control, exceptional energy efficiencies, and dependably quiet operation. Additionally, the frequent on\/off operation of traditional units puts strain on both the unit and the power grid during hot summers.
