Power while cooling: From the maximum cooling draw its retailer lists for this exact model. An hour's cost is at that draw and the US average electricity price of 18.44¢/kWh (U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Monthly Table 5.6.A (residential average, May 2026)). The compressor cycles once the room is cool, so most hours cost less.
Hourly heating cost: At the rated heating output and the US average electricity price of 18.44¢/kWh (U.S. Energy Information Administration, Electric Power Monthly Table 5.6.A (residential average, May 2026)). A thermostat cycles the heat, so most hours cost less. A heat pump's output and advantage shrink as it gets colder outside, and one with an electric back-up heater draws far more while that runs.
Will it fit your wall sleeve?
Fits standard 42 x 16-inch PTAC sleeves, other makers' included, without a baffle kit as long as the sleeve is no deeper than 13¾ inches (a deeper sleeve needs one). A new installation needs Friedrich's PDXWS sleeve and an outdoor grille, sold separately. Source: Friedrich PTAC brochure
Every through-the-wall AC and PTAC by the sleeve it fitsInstallation & the rules that apply
This is a packaged terminal air conditioner (PTAC). It sits in a wall sleeve with an outdoor grille and runs on its own circuit, so the window-unit mounting and bracket rules do not apply to it. A new opening or circuit usually needs building and electrical permits and, in a condo, co-op or historic building, approval first.

- How loud is the Friedrich 9,000 BTU Zone Premier PTAC with Heat Pump?
- 50 dB(A) indoors, about as loud as a refrigerator.
- How many watts does the Friedrich 9,000 BTU Zone Premier PTAC with Heat Pump use?
- It draws 800 watts (3.9 amps at 208/230 V) while cooling at full power, per its retailer's specification for this exact model. At the US average electricity price that is about $0.15 an hour; once the room is cool the compressor cycles, so most hours cost less.
- What size room does the Friedrich 9,000 BTU Zone Premier PTAC with Heat Pump cool?
- It is rated to cool a room up to 400 sq ft (9,000 BTU · 2.6 kW).
- Do I need a professional to install the Friedrich 9,000 BTU Zone Premier PTAC with Heat Pump?
- Usually, yes. A PTAC installs in a wall sleeve with an outdoor grille and runs on its own dedicated circuit, so a new installation (the wall opening, sleeve, grille and wiring) is work for a contractor and an electrician. Swapping one into an existing PTAC sleeve with matching power is a simpler like-for-like replacement.
- Does the Friedrich 9,000 BTU Zone Premier PTAC with Heat Pump heat as well as cool?
- Yes. It is a heat pump that also heats, rated 8,500 BTU of heating output on 690 watts. That is about 3.6 times the heat per watt of an electric coil, at its rating point. At its rated heat it costs about $0.13 an hour at the US average electricity price.
