What’s in the box, and what isn’t

  • 18K outdoor unit, factory charged with R-454B
  • 2 ceiling cassettes (6K, 12K), each with its mounting hardware and remote
  • 2 pre-charged Quick Connect® line sets, the lengths you pick, sized to each unit
  • Communication wire and drain hose for each room
  • Install and owner’s manuals

Not in the box

Every multi-zone outdoor unit runs on 230V and needs these. Tick them in step 2 above.

  • Disconnect switch, 60A, and an electrical whip
  • Outdoor pad, or a wall bracket
  • The 230V circuit and breaker from your panel

Can you install a 2-room system yourself?

Yes. It’s the same job as a single room, done 2 times, plus one outdoor unit. Plan a weekend or two.

“Easy install. Took me 2 full days to install 4 wall units.”Michael, Trustpilot

  1. Hang each cassetteFrom the ceiling joists, one per room.
  2. Run each line set to the outdoor unitEach room connects to its own port on the outdoor unit.
  3. Connect, power and testSnug the Quick Connect fittings, one 230V circuit with a disconnect, then check for leaks.

The part people ask us about

The electrical. The outdoor unit needs one dedicated 230V circuit and a disconnect within sight of it. The indoor units are powered through their communication wires, so no outlets are needed inside.

If you’ve never added a 230V circuit, have an electrician do just that part.

Multi-zone questions

Can the rooms add up to more than the outdoor unit?

Yes. This system is 6K + 12K = 18K on a 18K outdoor unit. That leaves room to spare, so every room can run at full power at once.

Can I pick a different length for each room?

Yes. Each room gets its own line set, sized to its unit. Pick the shortest length that reaches.

My run is longer than 50 ft. What then?

Pick 66 or 75 ft. You get two line sets and a coupler kit to join them. 75 ft is the most MRCOOL allows for one room.

Can I add a room later?

This system uses 2 ports on the outdoor unit. If you might add a room, call us before you order and we’ll check which outdoor unit leaves a port free.

Do I need an HVAC technician?

Not for the refrigerant side: the line sets are pre-charged and connect with two wrenches. You may want an electrician for the 230V circuit.

Do you help with the install?

We don’t do installs or install support. Call before you buy and we’ll help you pick the right system. After that, the manuals and MRCOOL support are the place to go.
