Pioneer® Vertex™ 48,000 BTU 17.5 SEER2 230V Ducted Central Split Air Conditioner Inverter Heat Pump

For HVAC contractors and business owners tackling larger residential or commercial projects, the Pioneer Vertex 48,000 BTU Ducted Central Split Heat Pump offers a powerful, efficient, and versatile solution. Designed to deliver consistent comfort with advanced inverter technology, this system combines high capacity and reliable performance to meet the demands of bigger spaces without compromising on energy savings.

Robust Performance for Larger Spaces

With a cooling capacity of 47,500 BTU and a heating capacity of 48,000 BTU, this unit is built to handle medium to large-sized areas with ease. Its efficiency ratings—17.5 SEER2 and 11.3 EER2 for cooling, along with 9.0 HSPF2 heating efficiency—help reduce energy consumption while maintaining strong, consistent climate control. The system’s heating COP of 2.1 at 5°F ensures dependable warmth even in colder conditions.

The variable-speed DC inverter compressor adjusts output to match the exact load, providing smooth operation, reduced wear, and quieter performance compared to traditional fixed-speed units. Factory-precharged with the environmentally friendly R454b refrigerant, the system supports greener installations without sacrificing power or reliability.

Features Designed for Comfort and Convenience

This ducted heat pump includes dual-axis motorized louvers that direct airflow both up/down and left/right, ensuring even air distribution throughout the ducted space. Dual drainage ports simplify condensate management, making installation cleaner and easier.

Washable, reusable air filters help maintain indoor air quality and reduce maintenance costs over time. The included remote control offers a variety of user-friendly modes: ECO and SLEEP for energy savings, TURBO for rapid temperature adjustments during peak demand, and a SELF-CLEAN cycle to keep the system running efficiently.

Additional smart features include MEMORY to save preferred settings and IFEEL technology that detects local temperature to optimize comfort automatically.
