Question 1

Can the refrigerant tubing exit the side of the inside unit and be run down and interior wall?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there should be a knockout on the side with enough room for the refrigerant tubes, control wire and drain hose to exit. Then the line set can be slowly angled down at a "soft 90 degrees", being careful not to kink the tubes as you make the bends. If you have any further questions please feel free to give us a call! Thanks.

Question 2

What is the sqft coverage on a 18,000 BTU unit?

Accepted Answer

Roughly, an 18k unit will be able to cover an estimated 750 square feet. This is a general estimate, but factors like geographical location, insulation quality, amount of direct sunlight, etc can all determine the real coverage. If you have any further questions please feel free to give us a call! Thanks.

Question 3

I don't need 25' line, 16' better with MRCOOL DIY Easy Pro® 18K BTU Ductless Mini Split Heat Pump Complete System.

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. This MRCOOL DIY system come with a 25' pre-charged line set. Currently this is the only line set length available for this MRCOOL system. However, if this is too long for your installation, we would recommend gently coiling the extra line set length. For more assistance, please give us a call.

Question 4

What size hole saw do I need to use for my freon line?

Accepted Answer

MRCOOL recommends using a 3.5 inch hole saw to run your line sets. If you have any further questions please feel free to give us a call! Thanks.

Question 5

Can you remotely turn this unit off and on?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. This mini split system includes a handheld remote controller that can be used to control the system. It also comes with a smart controller which you can plug into your air handler. This smart controller makes your unit wi-fi enabled, thus giving you the ability to control it from your phone, Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant. Both of these methods of control allow you to turn the air handler on or off. For more assistance, please give us a call.

Question 6

What is the lowest temperature setting in heat mode

Accepted Answer

The temperature setting for this unit can be anywhere from 62 degrees to 86 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have any further questions please feel free to give us a call! Thanks.

Question 7

When the room reaches the desired temperature does the fan turn off?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. The fan for this system will run continuously as long as the system is turned on. It runs in an effort to maintain the room's air comfort. However, the fan requires a very minimum amount of power and the fan speed can be adjusted. For more assistance, please give us a call.

Question 8

What is the amperage of this unit?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. This system has a power supply of 208-230 V. 60 Hz. 1 Ph. It requires a minimum circuit of 19 Amps and a maximum fuse of 25 Amps.

Question 9

What is the sound db of the outside unit?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. This system has a rated noise level of 45 dB(A). For more assistance, please give us a call.

Question 10

What is the length of the line kit from indoor to outdoor unit?

Accepted Answer

The line set kit included with this DIY system is 25 feet long.

Question 11

Can the indoor unit go closer to the floor or does it have to be up high?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. When selecting an installation location for the indoor unit there are several guidelines to consider. According to the installation manual, in homes with a ceiling higher than 9', the indoor unit should be 90.55 inches above the floor. In homes with ceilings lower than 9', the indoor unit should be 78.55 inches above the floor. In addition, the indoor unit should be at least 5.9 inches below the ceiling and should have a clearance of at least 4.75 inches on both sides. The installation location of the indoor unit should also have good air circulation, convenient drainage for the condensate drain line, where minimal noises from the unit will not be a disturbance, at least 3' away from all other electrical devices and a solid location that can support the weight of the unit and will not vibrate. For more information regarding selecting the installation location of the unit, please reference pages 15 and 16 of the installation manual. This manual can be found on the product page at the bottom of the product specifications chart. For more assistance, please give us a call.

Question 12

Does this unit come ready to install?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. Other than the tools needed for installation, a condensate drain line will be required. This drain line will drain condensation away from the indoor air handler. Usually this drain line runs down from the unit and gravity carries it away from the unit. But if your installation requires the drain line to go against gravity, a mini condensate pump removal will be required. We would also recommend a wall bracket, equipment pad or condenser slab stand to set your condenser on. Another recommended product is the line set cover guards. These not only protect your line sets, they provide a cleaner look. These items can be found under the accessories section for this product, which is located under the add to cart button on the right hand side of the screen. For more assistance, please give us a call.

Question 13

Can I change my central air and heat with this product?

Accepted Answer

This system can be used as an alternative to central heating and air. This is a ductless system, so no ductwork is required. This MRCOOL system is a single zone system which as a general rule of thumb heats and cools one room or open space. If more zones are needed, multi zone systems are available. For more assistance, please give us a call.

Question 14

Is there a way to get a longer or extension for the line set?

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question. This particular MRCOOL system only comes with the 25 ft line set. One solution, if possible, would be moving the location of the outdoor unit closer to the position of the indoor unit. For more assistance, please give us a call.

Question 15

What is the HSPF rating or the DIY 18,000 BTU 20 SEER unit?

Accepted Answer

This unit has an HSPF rating of 10.
