For cooling purposes, Earthcare Split Systems (ESS) will maintain a constant temperature of 22°C (+/- 2°C) assuming a maximum ambient temperature in the summer of 29°C.

To allow maximum comfort and convenience, infrared wireless remote control for temperature and fan speed control is included, except for ducted units, where a wired remote control is provided. Split systems are best suited to small-scale applications where the minimum of disruption is required to an existing building.

The ESS range is also available with a reverse cycle heating (heat pump) capability, which is a more efficient method of heating than direct electric resistance heating. Our heat pumps are designed to maintain an internal temperature of 20°C (+/- 2°C) when external ambient temperatures drop to -2°C. The heating output at average winter conditions, gives an average coefficient of performance (CoP) of about 3.6. This represents an energy and carbon dioxide reduction of over 70% compared to an average electric heater.

The ESS range was developed using EA Technology's recommended energy saving features and is re-engineered in the UK for use with hydrocarbon refrigerants. By using a low energy refrigerant with a low environmental impact, minimising leakage and optimising the refrigeration cycle within the split system, Earthcare's ESS range of split systems offer market-leading lifetime value at the lowest possible cost to the environment.
