Friedrich FRP15AY18AJ2NA Heat Pump 1.5 Ton 15 SEER2

Product Description

The FRIEDRICH FRP15AY18AJ2NA is a two-stage residential heat pump rated at 18,000 BTU/h (1.5 nominal tons) with a 15 SEER2 efficiency rating. It operates on R454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative to R-410A that meets current EPA regulations. The two-stage compressor reduces short-cycling, improves humidity control, and lowers operating noise compared to single-stage units. Licensed HVAC technicians handle installation and commissioning of this equipment. The combination of a 15 SEER2 rating and two-stage operation makes this unit well suited to installations where efficiency and comfort consistency are primary requirements.

This heat pump is designed for residential split-system applications requiring 1.5 tons of cooling and heating capacity. It is intended for use with a compatible indoor air handler or furnace coil. Typical installations include single-family homes and smaller multi-family units where a compact, efficient heat pump replaces aging equipment or serves a new construction load. The R454B refrigerant charge requires EPA Section 608 certification for any technician handling the refrigerant circuit.

• Two-stage compressor operation for improved humidity control and reduced short-cycling
• R454B refrigerant — lower global-warming-potential alternative to R-410A
• Provides both heating and cooling in a single outdoor unit

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style residential split-system heat pump outdoor unit intended to pair with a compatible 1.5-ton indoor air handler or coil-equipped air handler. No specific compatible indoor unit model numbers were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608-certified HVAC technician due to the R454B refrigerant charge. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the system before making any wiring or refrigerant connections. Follow local jurisdiction requirements and manufacturer specifications for pad mounting, line set sizing, and electrical disconnect placement. Do not mix refrigerants or use R-410A service equipment without verifying compatibility with R454B systems.
