If winter and summertime weather fluctuations in Texas are hard on humans, imagine what they are like for creatures with fur and fins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why Friedrich Air Conditioning Co.<\/a> has donated an array of heating and cooling solutions to San Antonio Zoo<\/a>, to help provide essential relief for visitors, staff and the animals who call the zoo home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Friedrich\u2019s latest donation includes providing a Friedrich Floating Air Series Ductless Split System for Kiddie Park, which was recently relocated to San Antonio Zoo. Designed to be flexible, the system will provide comfort for the families and kids who enjoy the park all season long. The company also contributed a K\u00fchl A\/C window unit for the historic Kiddie Park office building, to help increase the comfort of zoo employees while maintaining the architectural integrity of the facility. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animals also are a direct beneficiary of the latest Friedrich A\/C technologies. This fall, the company donated a VRP (Variable Refrigerant Packaged) Heat Pump system for the speckled brown bear enclosure. VRP is an award-winning all-in-one solution that delivers heating and cooling efficiency, humidity control, quiet operation and improved indoor air quality, thanks to its FreshAire technology. Earlier this summer, Friedrich donated ductless systems for a newly-constructed exhibit that hosted visiting koalas on loan from San Diego Zoo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMany of us have been part of the San Antonio community for a long time, and we take real pride in our involvement with this amazing organization that we enjoyed as kids, and now with our families,\u201d says Holly Beck, Friedrich director of marketing. \u201cIt\u2019s very gratifying to know our products are providing great relief and comfort to the animals and the zoo\u2019s dedicated staff, as well as the thousands of visitors and families who love exploring the zoo each year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

History of Helping<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Friedrich\u2019s contributions are just the latest in a long string of donations the company has made to San Antonio Zoo. Since 2017, Friedrich has donated tens of thousands of dollars worth of A\/C equipment and units, beginning with a one-ton vertical packaged HVAC system and three-ton ductless systems that were installed at the Friedrich Aquarium to help provide climate control for the aquarium\u2019s aquatic life, and to ensure comfort of the staff who care for them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company also donated a number of Friedrich portable units that are used to spot cool overheated spaces, such as the zoo\u2019s concession areas. Donated Friedrich K\u00fchl room A\/C units are currently in operation in places where additional cooling capabilities are needed. Friedrich dehumidifiers have been gifted to help keep the animals healthy and comfortable in San Antonio\u2019s extremely humid summertime conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In every case, the Friedrich team has partnered with the San Antonio Zoo team to identify specific needs and select an efficient A\/C solution designed to do the job. From larger scale needs solved by its Vert-I-Pak, VRP and ductless systems, to customizable comfort offered by Friedrich K\u00fchl units, portables and dehumidifiers, Friedrich is able to meet the needs of the zoo\u2019s unique and diverse facilities with an array of solutions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAll of the projects we\u2019ve done together with San Antonio Zoo shows off what Friedrich does best. Our products are specifically designed to offer flexible and efficient room-by-room comfort to meet the unique needs of the space and its occupants\u2013whether they are two- or four-legged,\u201d says Beck. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to San Antonio zoo officials, the improved temperatures have other benefits, including the increased well-being and growth of the aquarium\u2019s abundant corals, which are flourishing. Another bonus is the improved working conditions for staff, who are better able to concentrate on the care of the animals in the cooler, more comfortable conditions. Proper A\/C capabilities are crucial, given San Antonio winter temperatures can dip into the 40s, and can spike well above 100 degrees in the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFriedrich\u2019s generous donations and contributions over the years have had a major, positive impact on the well-being of not only the animals, but our dedicated staff who care for them. It\u2019s also a welcome relief to the thousands of families who visit the zoo every year,\u201d says Tim Morrow, president & CEO of San Antonio Zoo. \u201cWe\u2019re very thankful for the company\u2019s strong support and long commitment to the zoo and the local community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From as far back as 1935, Friedrich Air Conditioning Co. and San Antonio Zoo have enjoyed a long partnership and history. Company founder Richard A. Friedrich was president of San Antonio Zoological Society for 27 years and helped get the zoo on the fast track with new habitats and fundraising. One of those new habitats was the Friedrich Aquarium, which opened to the public in 1948. Today, that partnership legacy continues with its continuous involvement, sponsorship and support for the zoo, including the most recent donation of A\/C products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
