Friedrich Air Conditioning has a legacy that stretches back to 1883, giving it one of the longest and most respected histories in the HVAC industry. Originally known for innovation and uncompromising quality, the company became a household name in the 1950s when its high-performing room air conditioners set the standard for comfort and reliability.
For decades, contractors and homeowners alike have trusted Friedrich products to deliver dependable performance in homes, businesses, and institutions across the country. That trust has been earned through a commitment to engineering excellence and a reputation for standing behind every system bearing the Friedrich name.
While Friedrich first built its reputation on room air products, the company has steadily expanded far beyond that category to meet the full scope of HVAC needs. Today, Friedrich offers a complete lineup that includes ducted residential solutions—such as high-efficiency gas furnaces, central air conditioners, and heat pumps—alongside ductless options, packaged units, and commercial systems built to handle demanding environments.
The product portfolio also extends into water heating, making Friedrich a one-stop brand for both comfort and efficiency. This breadth of equipment reflects the company’s evolution into a trusted, full-line provider for contractors, engineers, and end-users seeking proven solutions.
In August 2021, Friedrich joined Rheem as part of its Global Air Division, strengthening its resources, technology, and reach while maintaining its strong brand identity. Backed by Rheem’s global expertise and manufacturing scale, Friedrich continues to build on its long tradition of innovation, durability, and service.
Today, Friedrich stands as a proven and dependable partner for contractors, architects, and homeowners—delivering products that combine history and trust with modern solutions designed for today’s HVAC challenges.
