The MRCOOL DIY 5th Gen single-zone system pairs one wall-mounted air handler with an outdoor heat pump and a 25' Quick Connect line set that arrives charged with R-454B, so it goes in without a vacuum pump or refrigerant gauges. Efficiency reaches 23.6 SEER2 on the 9,000 BTU size, and the five capacities are rated for areas from up to 400ft² to up to 1,550ft².
It is a straightforward way to heat and cool an addition, a converted garage, a bedroom or an open living area that the main system does not reach. The 115V sizes suit single rooms; the 208/230V sizes take larger spaces. That is the MRCOOL DIY 5th Gen single-zone system.
Features
Pre-Charged Quick Connect Line Set
The included 25' line set is factory charged with R-454B and joins the indoor and outdoor units with threaded Quick Connect fittings. No vacuuming, brazing or refrigerant handling is required.
Heats Down to -13°F
The outdoor unit is rated to heat at temperatures down to -13°F and to cool at up to 122°F, so one system covers both seasons.
Five Capacities, One Install Method
The 9,000 and 12,000 BTU models run on 115V; the 18,000, 24,000 and 36,000 BTU models run on 208/230V. All use the same Quick Connect process.
App and Voice Control
The included smart controller kit links the system to the MRCOOL SmartHVAC app on Apple and Android devices and works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.
Follow Me Remote Sensing
With Follow Me switched on, the handheld remote reads the temperature where you are and the system adjusts to that reading.
DIYPro Armored Cable
The included DIYPro cable links the indoor and outdoor units and is designed to make separate electrical conduit for that run unnecessary.
Gold Fin Corrosion Protection
The condenser coil carries the Gold Fin coating, which MRCOOL specifies for resistance to salt air and long-term corrosion.
Refrigerant Leak Alarm
An A2L sensor in the air handler sounds an alarm if it detects a refrigerant leak.

Installation
Designed for homeowner installation. The Quick Connect line set arrives pre-charged with refrigerant, so no vacuum pump, gauges or refrigerant handling is needed. Each fitting is tightened with two wrenches to the torque in MRCOOL's manual and then leak-checked. Electrical work still has to meet local code: the 230V models need a dedicated 230V circuit, and some areas require a permit or a licensed electrician for that part of the job. Check your local rules before you start.
Indoor unit clearances: at least 5.9" to the ceiling, 4.72" on each side and 5.90' to the floor. The wall hole is 3.54" in diameter, drilled at a slight downward angle. Line sizes are 1/4" x 3/8" (9,000 and 12,000 BTU), 1/4" x 1/2" (18,000 BTU) and 3/8" x 5/8" (24,000 and 36,000 BTU). The outdoor unit power cable is purchased separately.

About MRCOOL
MRCOOL designs heating, cooling and water-heating equipment from its home base in Hickory, Kentucky. The range runs from DIY ductless mini-splits, built around MRCOOL's patented pre-charged Quick Connect line sets, through contractor-installed mini-splits, central split systems, packaged units and gas furnaces, to HeatWise water heaters and CoolBlade HVLS fans for warehouses and shops.
DIY 5th Gen is the MRCOOL mini-split line designed for homeowner installation, built around pre-charged Quick Connect line sets and R-454B refrigerant. The single-zone systems run from 9,000 to 36,000 BTU. The same wall air handlers also serve the DIY 5th Gen multi-zone condensers (up to six zones), and the range adds the OuttaSight ceiling cassette, the DIY Hybrid ducted air handler and a Hyper Heat condenser for colder climates. Longer Quick Connect line sets, coupler kits and the LineGuard cover kit are sold separately.
