36,000 BTU, 23.9 SEER2

The 36,000 BTU, ES-36Z-M4 is designed to easily support up to 4 air handlers at up to 1.25 times the condenser BTU rating, or 45,000 BTU across all air handlers. This adaptive, inverter condenser is constantly self-adjusting to provide the precise amount of heating or cooling needed to maintain your desired temperature in each room or zone. You can set different temperatures room by room, even turn off heating and cooling in unused areas. This, combined with a high efficiency rating of 23.9 SEER2, means you are buying a system designed to intelligently save you money both up front and over the lifetime of the unit.

Although the condenser is pre-charged, please note that this model of equipment does not have quick connect line set connectors and is not a self-install unit. You will need a professional to add more refrigerant and vacuum the lines as needed. Installation materials such as line sets, control wire, drain hose, whip and disconnect are not included, but are available at additional cost in the Accessories section above on this page. For all multi zone ACiQ condensers, a minimum of two air handlers is needed for the unit to function.

Quality Construction

State-of-the-Art manufacturing is behind every ACiQ product, resulting in quiet, effective operation over a long service life. Most models have low ambient heating and cooling.

Highest Efficiency

ACiQ saves you money up front, but also over time by reducing energy bills. Every ACiQ condenser features a variable inverter twin rotary compressor, lowering wear and increasing performance. Compare specs against other brands in the same price category, and you will agree, ACiQ is the best value.

Longer life, longer warranty

Intelligent design goes into every element of ACiQ’s manufacturing ensuring flawless performance for years. Low friction, variable inverter twin rotary compressors give bulletproof reliability. This system is protected by ACiQ's 7 years parts and 12 years compressor warranty.

Installation and Maintenance

ACiQ multi zone condensers are pre-charged with R410-A refrigerant for 25' per air handler connection. In many cases, no additional refrigerant is needed. All units are run-tested at the factory for years of trouble-free performance. Troubleshooting is easy thanks to unit's self diagnosing control board with alerts that are sent to each connected air handler.

 

18,000 BTU Floor Mounted ACiQ Mini-Split Air Handler

ACiQ Floor Mounted air handlers are ideal for sun porches and attic rooms where space to mount a standard high wall unit is not available. Sometimes called a heat console type air handler, these units surface mount low on the wall, near or on the floor. The shape is wider, taller and slightly shallower than the high wall unit. These are ideal for sun porches where the only wall space is below windows, or attic remodels with knee-walls, where vertical high walls may not be available.

The ACiQ-18FM-HH-MB and ACiQ-24FM-HH-MB creatively solve various installation issues.

Unlevel Surfaces: The pitch of the roof is often reflected indoors as well, providing angled surfaces that make mounting traditional air handlers impossible. This system uses threaded rod to allow the air handler to be level, even when the walls are not. The threaded rod can be adjusted to accommodate all geometry angles, allowing the system to touch the ceiling or hang several feet below it

Uninsulated Roofs: The cassette and concealed duct air handler systems want at least a foot of space between the ceiling and the roof, this unit can work with a gap as small as one inch, which is what you often see with metal buildings and 3 season rooms. The air handler will be located near the edge of the room, blowing towards the opposite edge of the room, which is different than a cassette system, that blows air in all directions and is located in the center of a room. Sun Rooms: The air handler is actually mounted directly to the wall, fitting perfectly under the windowsill, elevated about 2 inches from the floor, even thou this is referred to as a floor mounted air handler, there is no need to drill or modify the floor as all connections can go thru the wall. Perfect for rooms that are mostly windows, these units pull air from the bottom and blow the air upwards, allowing heating the room in winter and automatically shutting off when the large windows are opened during the summer with the optional door-open sensor.

Floor Installation: The unit can be mounted to the floor when drilling holes into the wall is highly undesirable, as it common with brick/marble surfaces. The refrigerant/electrical/drain line can be run thru the floor and entirely hidden from view. The system is pre-wired for a 240vac condensate pump with over-flow shutoff connections.

Note: The 18k and 24k are slightly different in appearance from the 12k, and can be surface mounted on the floor or ceiling. Please see the appropriate manual for your model.
