MRCOOL DIY 5th Gen 36,000 BTU 5‑Zone Ductless Mini Split Heat Pump System (6K + 24K Air Handlers with 25 ft QuickConnect Line Sets)

The MRCOOL DIY® 5th Gen 36,000 BTU 5‑Zone Multi‑Zone Bundle is designed to deliver efficient heating and cooling across multiple spaces while remaining fully DIY‑friendly. This system includes a high‑performance 36,000 BTU outdoor condenser paired with two indoor wall‑mounted air handlers — a 6,000 BTU unit ideal for smaller rooms and a 24,000 BTU unit designed for larger spaces. Together, they provide zoned comfort for bedrooms, living areas, offices, or any combination of spaces, all managed independently.

Installation is simplified using MRCOOL’s QuickConnect® pre‑charged line sets, which come sealed with R‑454B refrigerant, removing the need for vacuum pumps or specialized HVAC tools. The included 25 ft line sets provide flexibility for unit placement according to your layout, making this system ideal for homeowners who want professional comfort without hiring an installer.

Each indoor unit comes with its own wireless remote for individual zone control. The system features DC inverter technology for quiet, efficient operation year‑round, as well as smart control compatibility for remote operation via app or voice assistant. Built with corrosion‑resistant materials, the outdoor condenser ensures long‑term durability, while manufacturer warranty coverage provides peace of mind.

This MRCOOL DIY® 5‑Zone bundle combines advanced technology, energy efficiency, and DIY installation convenience into one complete package, delivering reliable, year‑round comfort across your home or workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ\'s)

 1. Can I install this MRCOOL DIY system myself?

 Yes. Every MRCOOL DIY 5th Gen system is engineered for true homeowner installation with no EPA license, no vacuum pump, and no gauges needed thanks to the factory-charged R-454B Quick-Connect® line sets.

2. Do I need a vacuum pump or special tools?

No. All DIY Quick-Connect® line sets are pre-charged and factory sealed, so installation is completely vacuum-free.

4. Is R-454B safe and future-approved?

Yes. R-454B is the future standard refrigerant, replacing R-410A nationwide. It is more efficient, lower GWP, and already required in many regions.

5. How long are the included line sets?

Your bundle includes 25-ft R-454B Quick-Connect® line sets, matched to each air handler’s size.

6. Is this bundle enough to cool and heat my whole home?

Depending on your home layout, insulation, and zone sizing, the 36k multi-zone condenser can cover up to ~1,500 sq. ft. with proper indoor unit placement.

7. Are the air handlers quiet?

Yes. 5th Generation MRCOOL DIY indoor units operate as low as 20 dBA—quieter than a library.

Yes. All 5th Gen units work with:

• Apple & Android SmartHVAC App


• Amazon Alexa


• Google Assistant
