The MRCOOL® 2nd Generation Universal® Series 36K DC Inverter Packaged Heat Pump is an all-in-one ducted heating and cooling system designed for dependable comfort, lower energy use, and simplified installation. Its advanced DC inverter compressor runs at variable speeds, adjusting output to match demand instead of cycling on and off like older fixed-speed systems.
Rated at 18 SEER2, this 3 ton packaged heat pump helps reduce energy consumption while delivering strong airflow and consistent performance. It is engineered for wide weather conditions, with heating operation down to -22°F and cooling performance described for outdoor temperatures up to 125°F.
This Universal® packaged system uses R-32 refrigerant, a modern lower-GWP refrigerant compared with many older refrigerants. Its multi-position design supports vertical upflow/downflow and horizontal configurations, making it a flexible choice for replacement projects and new installations.
```Installation requirements, airflow setup, clearance, ducting, electrical requirements, and code compliance should be verified in the installation manual and local codes.
```Auxiliary electric heat kits are available separately and are not included.
Warranty terms, registration requirements, and coverage limitations are controlled by MRCOOL®. Review the warranty document before installation.

Product FAQs
MRCOOL products are sold through authorized retailers and distributors rather than directly by MRCOOL to consumers. Purchasing through an authorized seller helps confirm that the equipment is genuine and that the correct purchase records are available for product and warranty support.
Do not assume that MRCOOL indoor units, outdoor units, line sets, controls, or accessories are interchangeable. Use only manufacturer-approved combinations for the exact model family; in particular, MRCOOL states that R-410A products are not compatible with R-454B products and the refrigerants must never be mixed.
Eligible MRCOOL DIY systems are designed around installation-friendly components such as factory-precharged line sets and compatible connection hardware. The included components vary by generation and package, and electrical work, permits, clearances, and local code requirements still need to be followed.
MRCOOL does not dispatch field technicians. Its in-house team provides phone and email assistance for diagnosis, troubleshooting, and product guidance, while the owner arranges and pays for any local on-site technician unless a specific written warranty program states otherwise.
The model and serial number identify the exact equipment, generation, capacity, and applicable documentation or warranty. Use the identification labels on the equipment and MRCOOL’s registration guidance rather than relying only on a product title or general series name.
No. Only product families specifically identified by MRCOOL as DIY-capable should be treated as do-it-yourself systems. Other lines, including the Advantage Series, require professional HVAC installation, so always follow the installation requirements for the exact model.
MRCOOL maintains a documentation library and a product support center with model-specific installation manuals, owner manuals, technical documents, certifications, warranty information, and troubleshooting resources. Search using the exact model number because documents can differ by series, generation, capacity, and refrigerant.
MRCOOL offers a broad range of comfort products, including ductless mini-splits, central ducted split systems, packaged heat pumps, geothermal systems, water heaters, fans, thermostats, line sets, and HVAC accessories. Available capacities, refrigerants, efficiencies, and features depend on the exact product family and model.
Register the system as soon as possible after purchase and installation. Several MRCOOL residential warranty programs require registration within 60 days of installation, or within 60 days of purchase when the installation date cannot be verified, but the exact requirement is controlled by the warranty document for the specific product.
MRCOOL recommends starting with the original place of purchase because many dealers can special-order replacement parts. If that is not available, use an authorized MRCOOL parts distributor and confirm compatibility with the exact model and serial number before ordering.
MRCOOL provides support by phone at (270) 366-0457, by email at support@mrcool.com, and through its online support-request form. Have the exact model and serial number available so the support team can identify the correct product documentation and next steps.
Yes. If a local technician is scheduled, MRCOOL’s in-house support team can help coordinate troubleshooting and product guidance with that technician. The technician should have the model, serial number, system configuration, measurements, error codes, and a clear description of the issue available.
MRCOOL’s support center provides separate technical-support sections for ductless systems, residential ducted systems, product-specific error codes, wiring guidance, installation procedures, and troubleshooting articles. Use the exact series and model because codes and procedures are not universal across all MRCOOL equipment.
Register the product through MRCOOL’s online warranty-registration page. Be prepared to provide the serial number along with purchase, owner, installation-location, and installer information requested by the registration form.
No. MRCOOL publishes separate warranty terms for different product families, generations, and applications. For example, the current DIY 5th Generation warranty lists 5-year parts and 7-year compressor coverage, but that coverage should not be assumed for another MRCOOL series; always check the exact product warranty document.
