Pioneer® Vertex™ 36,000 BTU 18.6 SEER2 230V Ducted Central Split Air Conditioner Inverter Heat Pump

When you’re looking to deliver reliable comfort and energy efficiency to your customers, the Pioneer Vertex 36,000 BTU ducted central split heat pump stands out as a smart investment. Designed with contractors, business owners, and HVAC professionals in mind, this system offers the perfect balance of power, efficiency, and durability to handle medium to large residential or commercial spaces with ease.

Powerful Performance Meets Energy Efficiency

Imagine providing your customers with a system that cools at 34,000 BTU and heats at 34,200 BTU, all while maintaining an impressive 18.6 SEER2 and 9.0 HSPF2 efficiency rating. This means lower utility bills and a more comfortable environment year-round. The variable-speed DC inverter compressor intelligently adjusts its output to match the exact demand, ensuring quieter operation, fewer start-stop cycles, and less wear on the system—translating to longer equipment life and satisfied customers.

Built for Versatility and Comfort

This unit isn’t just powerful—it’s smart. With motorized dual-axis louvers, your customers get even air distribution throughout the ducted space, eliminating hot or cold spots. The dual drainage ports simplify installation and maintenance, saving you time on the job. Plus, washable and reusable air filters help keep indoor air clean and cut down on ongoing maintenance costs.

Features That Put Your Customers in Control

The included remote control offers multiple modes like ECO and SLEEP to conserve energy during low-demand times, and a TURBO mode for rapid temperature changes when needed. The SELF-CLEAN cycle helps maintain system efficiency, while MEMORY saves preferred settings for hassle-free comfort. IFEEL technology detects local temperature, automatically fine-tuning the system to keep your customers comfortable no matter where they are in the room.

  • Air handler delivers up to 920 CFM airflow with a quiet operation between 49 and 52 dB(A)
  • Outdoor unit requires a 20A double-pole breaker and operates efficiently in temperatures from -4°F to 131°F

Frequently Asked Questions about Pioneer® Vertex™ 36,000 BTU 18.6 SEER2 230V Ducted Central Split Air Conditioner Inverter Heat Pump

Most Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Pioneer is considered a good air conditioner brand, known for its reliable performance, energy efficiency, affordability, and positive customer reviews.

Pioneer heat pumps are manufactured by Parker Davis HVAC International, Inc., based in Miami, Florida.

A ducted mini-split is generally more energy efficient and offers better zoning flexibility, while a central heat pump is often preferred for whole-home comfort in larger spaces with existing ductwork; the best choice depends on your home’s size, layout, and specific comfort needs.

Other Questions

Mitsubishi and Trane are widely regarded as making the best heat pump AC units, known for their reliability, efficiency, and advanced technology.

Heat pumps typically last 15 to 20 years for air source models and 20 to 25 years or more for ground source (geothermal) systems, depending on maintenance and usage.
