Friedrich

Friedrich is a premium American brand with a long-standing reputation for making high-performance air conditioners, especially window, through-the-wall, and ductless split systems. Founded in 1883 in San Antonio, Texas, Friedrich originally manufactured refrigeration products before focusing on air conditioning. The brand is known for building durable, commercial-grade units that offer advanced features like inverter technology, smart Wi-Fi controls, and energy-efficient operation. While design and engineering remain U.S.-based, much of the manufacturing is now handled through international partners. Today, Friedrich operates under the ownership of Luvo Tokyo, a Japanese company, but continues to focus on innovation for both residential and light commercial cooling.
