Description

One high-wall air handler, sized for an entire open-concept main floor, can stand in for the patchwork of window air conditioners and space heaters that big rooms often need. The Pioneer Essenza 36,000 BTU Gen 2 Ductless Mini Split Heat Pump 230V handles both seasons from the same wall-mounted cabinet.

Note: Professional installation is required for this model.

Key Features and Benefits of the Pioneer Essenza 36,000 BTU Gen 2 Ductless Mini Split Heat Pump 230V

  • Inverter Capacity: The variable-speed DC inverter adjusts output between 7,500 and 36,000 BTU/h in both cooling and heating, so you hold a steady temperature instead of cycling on and off.
  • Cold-Climate Heating: The heat pump outputs 36,000 BTUs of heating in outdoor temperatures as low as -4 degrees F and up to 75 degrees F, so your living space stays warm through hard freezes.
  • Wide Cooling Range: Cooling output of up to 36,000 BTUs works in outdoor temperatures from 5 degrees F up to 122 degrees F, so extreme summer heat won't knock out your comfort.
  • High Efficiency: Ratings of 19 SEER2 and 9.0 EER2 help you keep summer electric bills in check while cooling a large space.
  • Heating Efficiency: Rated at up to 9.0 HSPF2 with a COP2 of 3.15 at 47 degrees F and 2.1 at 5 degrees F, so you get more heat than the electricity it uses.
  • Quiet Mute Mode: Indoor sound measures 36 dB on Mute and 38 dB on Low for quieter nights. Medium is 43 dB, and High is 49 dB; Turbo reaches 52 dB.
  • Turbo Airflow: Turbo pushes up to 847 CFM for fast recovery. High runs at 705 CFM. Medium delivers 588 CFM, while Low and Mute settle to 470 and 412 CFM.
  • IFEEL Sensing: The IFEEL remote function reads the temperature where you are sitting and adjusts output, so comfort follows you rather than the wall.

Planning Space and Power for the Pioneer Essenza

This model fits large single spaces up to 1,400 square feet. Your electrician can confirm the panel supports the required 30-amp double-pole breaker and 10 AWG wire on a 208/230-volt, 60 Hz, single-phase circuit. Peak draw is 3,850 watts in cooling and 3,350 watts in heating, useful figures for checking available panel capacity.

The air handler measures 46.88 x 10.25 x 14.25 inches (L x W x H) and weighs 39.7 pounds, so you need nearly 4 feet of clear wall. Outside, the condenser measures 38.5 x 16.5 x 31.63 inches (L x W x H), weighs 105.8 pounds, and runs at 63 dB.

Sylvane's Expert Take

The Pioneer Essenza 36,000 BTU Gen 2 is ideal if you're conditioning a large open floor plan or finished basement in a climate with both hard winters and hot summers. It works best in a single connected space near the 1,000-square-foot range, where the variable capacity lets it run gently instead of short-cycling. For year-round comfort from one wall, the low-temperature heating and whisper-level Mute setting make this a strong pick.
