The MRCOOL DIY 18K is a 5th generation ductless mini split that works as both an air conditioner and a heat pump. It has a ceiling cassette indoor unit and is designed so a homeowner can install it without a professional. It suits spaces without ductwork, such as garages, workshops, sunrooms, RVs and trailers.
The system comes with a pre-charged 25 ft line set. When appropriately sized, it is intended for an area of about 800 square feet. A DC inverter and variable speed compressor help keep operating costs down, and a refrigerant leakage detection feature helps the system keep running efficiently. The gold fin condenser resists corrosion, which suits coastal areas.
The included SmartHVAC Wi-Fi control module has a simple setup process. It works with Apple and Android smart devices, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
