Designed with cutting-edge innovation and eco-conscious performance, this system sets a new standard in home comfort.
Now Featuring R-454B Refrigerant – A Greener, Smarter Choice
The HVAC industry is transitioning toward refrigerants with lower environmental impact, and MRCOOL® is leading the way with its switch to R-454B refrigerant. Compared to R-410A, this new refrigerant offers:
80% lower Global Warming Potential (GWP)
Enhanced energy efficiency
Compliance with upcoming environmental regulations
This refrigerant change supports a cleaner, more sustainable future without compromising performance.
Outstanding Efficiency = Big Savings
The 5th Gen MRCOOL® DIY® Mini-Split boasts some of the highest efficiency ratings in its class:
Up to 23.6 SEER2
Up to 11.5 HSPF2-4
Most single-zone models are ENERGY STAR® certified, which not only reduces your energy bills but also may qualify you for valuable federal rebates and local incentives.
Perfect Fit for Any Space – Including Smaller Rooms

This series introduces the much-anticipated 9,000 BTU model, ideal for smaller spaces such as:
Bedrooms
Home offices
Converted garages
Bonus rooms (approx. 350 sq. ft.)
Want even more flexibility? MRCOOL® has added a 6,000 BTU air handler to their multi-zone system lineup, perfect for ultra-small spaces around 200 sq. ft.
Whole-Home Comfort with Multi-Zone Options
The new 55,000 BTU Multi-Zone Condenser supports up to 6 zones and covers spaces up to 2,290 sq. ft.—making it ideal for whole-home installations. Whether you're upgrading your current HVAC or building new, the modular flexibility of this system makes it easier than ever to customize your comfort room by room.
True DIY Installation – No HVAC License Needed
One of MRCOOL®’s most attractive features is the DIY® Quick Connect® Pre-Charged Line Set system. Homeowners can:
Skip special tools and vacuum pumps
Avoid costly professional installation
Enjoy a fast and straightforward setup
