Know before you buy
Unlike standard units that blow air in one or two directions, this ceiling cassette distributes air through eight different outlets. This design ensures a more uniform temperature throughout the room, eliminating hot or cold spots.
Yes, this is a full-featured heat pump capable of heating even in extreme cold. It is rated for operation in ambient temperatures as low as -13°F, making it a reliable primary or supplemental heat source.
Yes, this system requires professional installation by a licensed HVAC technician. It involves handling refrigerant, electrical wiring for 230V power, and mounting the indoor cassette into the ceiling, which is beyond the scope of a standard DIY project.
The integrated condensate pump allows you to move water away from the unit even if the drain line cannot be gravity-fed. This provides much more flexibility when choosing a mounting location in your ceiling.
The IFEEL function uses a sensor in the remote control to monitor the temperature exactly where you are sitting, rather than just at the ceiling unit. This allows the system to adjust its output to maintain your preferred comfort level in your immediate vicinity.
Yes, this unit requires a 208/230V, 60Hz, single-phase power supply. Please ensure your electrical panel and wiring are compatible with these specifications before purchasing.
The unit is Wi-Fi enabled and connects to the Pioneer Airlink app. Once paired, you can adjust temperatures, change modes, and set schedules from your smartphone from anywhere with an internet connection.
