Premier Series splits offer exceptional flexibility for both replacement and
new construction applications. The term “split” refers to the fact that there
are actually two pieces of equipment in the system. The geothermal unit
(compressor section) is connected to an air handler or fossil fuel (gas, pro-
pane or oil) furnace. This allows the Premier Split unit to be located some
distance away from the actual blower section.
The unit will provide all the air conditioning requirements and a portion of
the heating load down to a pre-determined temperature. When connected
to a fossil fuel furnace, the geothermal unit disengages when outdoor
temperatures fall below the changeover point, allowing the fossil furnace
to provide the balance of the heating required. If the split is connected to
a standard air handler, the use of auxiliary electric (back-up heat) may be
needed at outdoor temperatures lower than the changeover point, but the
geothermal unit will continue operating. If the connected air handler or
furnace is equipped with a variable speed blower, you may notice the fan
speed change depending on the mode of operation.
All Premier splits feature reliable and efficient Scroll compressors. With standard electromechanical controls,
Premier split units are easy to troubleshoot and repair. Safety devices prevent operation when conditions exist that
would damage the unit. If the heating and cooling functions are inoperable, you may be able to reset the unit by
turning off the unit’s breaker for 60 seconds, then turning it back on. If the unit does not operate after resetting, do
not attempt another reset as doing so may damage the unit or components. Contact your dealer for service.
ES Series units are performance-certified to ARI ISO 13256-1 standards, are ETL safety listed, and are
ENERGY STAR® qualified. Like our other Premier Series products, Premier split units utilize R-22 refrigerant.
Because Premier splits units are used in conjunction with other manufacturer’s air handlers or fossil fuel furnaces,
refer to the documents included with those units for further operating and service information.
