Friedrich Air Conditioning has roots as a longhorn furniture
store opened by Ed Friedrich in San Antonio, TX in 1883. The San
Antonio Museum of Art still houses some of the original furniture.
Ed Friedrich developed many innovative products including store
fixtures, wood billiard tables, fine-carved cabinetry, and
eventually salt brine freezer cases, which were the forerunners of
modern refrigeration systems.
Friedrich’s sons, George and Richard, joined the family business
and helped develop a new type of mechanical refrigeration. The
company also began to create food display cases to keep food fresher
and more nutritious. In 1950, although Ed Friedrich had passed on,
his sons continued his legacy as the company entered the field of
room air conditioning, already a leading manufacturer of commercial
refrigeration equipment.
"We are proud of our heritage and of the reputation we have built
over our 123 year history," says Charles M. Marino, President and
CEO of Friedrich Air Conditioning.
Friedrich grew substantially, building a two-story, 600,000
square-foot facility in 1971. Ed Friedrich’s dream to conserve
energy by building quality products had become a reality 100 years
later, and Friedrich continues that legacy by conserving energy
through close attention to detail and craftsmanship.
"Friedrich introduced its first electronic air cleaner in 1990 in
response to customer requests for a superior quality air cleaner.
Friedrich’s engineering department capitalized on the wealth of air
movement technology it had accumulated over the years perfecting air
conditioning products. And, the
air cleaner was designed around a
highly effective electronic cell which worked in tandem with other
filtering media," says Brian Campbell, Vice President of Sales &
Marketing for Friedrich Air Conditioning.
Not only has the Friedrich C90B electronic air cleaner been
tested and certified by the Association of Home Appliance
Manufacturers (AHAM), but it has also achieved one of the highest
Clean Air Delivery Rates (CADR) in independent laboratory tests.
Additionally, the Friedrich C90B electronic air cleaner has been
Energy Star qualified, demonstrating Friedrich’s commitment to
protecting the environment. Friedrich received the prestigious
Environment Excellence Award from the San Antonio Manufacturer’s
Association and the San Antonio Water System in 2006 for its focus
on protecting the environment.
Safe and effective, Friedrich air cleaners feature a three-speed
fan which quickly eliminates tobacco smoke, dust, pollen, odors, and
other airborne pollutants through an efficient four-step process.
First, air enters through the rear grille, sending airborne
contaminants to an air pre-filter which catches the larger
particles. From there, the air moves to the electronic cell where
billions of microscopic particles are charged as they pass through a
powerful electrical field. The collector plate immediately attracts
the charged particles. The activated carbon filter then removes
odors and fumes as the air circulates back into the room, leaving
you with fresh, clean air.
Exceptionally easy to maintain, the Friedrich air purifier’s
pre-filter can be rinsed with water and the carbon filter requires
replacement every three to six months, making the Friedrich air
purifier effective and affordable. Ideal for any home, office,
store, restaurant, hospital, hotel, or employee lounge, Friedrich
C90B air cleaners are quiet and inconspicuous. In just minutes, you
will notice improvements in your indoor air quality as your
Friedrich electrostatic air cleaner begins removing billions of
irritating microscopic particles from your home or office to provide
healthy and clean air for you and your family.
"Our strategy has never been to make the cheapest products on the
market. To do that we would have had to compromise our core values
of commercial grade quality, durability and reliability somewhere
along the way. Your business is only as good as your reputation. We
are proud of the C-90B air cleaner which has been repeatedly
top-rated and proven safe and effective by AHAM and leading product
review publications," adds Marino. Find the Friedrich air purifier
that’s right for you and enjoy fresh, clean air today.
