- Can I really install this myself?
- MRCOOL designed it for DIY: the line set comes pre-charged with R-454B and uses Quick Connect fittings, so no vacuum pump or gauges are needed. You still mount the air handler, connect the line set and handle the 230V electrical supply, which may need an electrician.
- What size room will 18,000 BTU cool?
- MRCOOL rates it for spaces up to about 800 square feet. Ceiling height, insulation, windows and climate all shift that, so a well-sealed room may run larger and a sunny, poorly insulated one smaller.
- How does it compare with the standard MRCOOL DIY series?
- The Select line uses R-454B refrigerant and the same Quick Connect approach, with 17.3 SEER2 and 8.5 HSPF2-4 ratings at 18K. Check the efficiency and warranty of the specific model you are comparing, since the standard DIY units differ by capacity and generation.
- Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?
- Yes. It connects over Wi-Fi and works with the MRCOOL Comfort app, Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant, so you can set temperature and modes by voice or phone.
- What is in the box?
- The outdoor condenser, the black wall-mounted indoor air handler and the 11.5-foot pre-charged Quick Connect line set with R-454B refrigerant. Mounting hardware and the remote come with the system; line set covers and extra electrical parts are separate.
- What warranty does it carry?
- Two years on the compressor and one year on parts. That is shorter than the 5- to 10-year compressor coverage many pro-installed brands offer, so factor it into the value.
