MRCOOL DIY 5th Gen Multizone 18,000 BTU systems can support up to 3 indoor units - the maximum supported for this condenser.
Feel free to mix ceiling cassette air handlers and wall mounted air handlers together in a system by visiting Building Your Own Custom Mini Split System.
The MRCOOL DIY 5th Gen 3-Zone 18,000 BTU 23.9 SEER2 3X DIYCASSETTE06HP-230D25-O Ductless Mini Split System with Ceiling Cassette units is easy to install and requires no special training or expensive specialty tools. The DIY system includes Quick Connect lines that are pre-charged with eco-friendly R-454B refrigerant. Thanks to the Quick Connect line set, you don't have to hire an HVAC technician to complete the install. We also have simple video instructions on how to install a DIY Multi-Zone unit yourself!
The MRCOOL DIY Multi-Zone 18,000 BTU 23.9 SEER2 3 Zone Ductless Mini Split System can cool through the Summer, heat through the Winter, and dehumidify through the wet seasons. Plus, you can quickly check the temperature of each room in your home from the easy-to-read digital display or from the MRCOOL Smart Controller mobile app. The display on the front of each indoor air handler unit can also display troubleshooting codes and alerts, so you are always aware of any issues with your system. Operate each unit wirelessly with either the included remote or with the MRCOOL Smart Controller app for Apple or Android devices. You also have the ability to control your mini-split unit with Amazon Alexa or Google Home.
The 3 MRCOOL DIY Multi-Zone air handlers included in this set provide directional control of the heated or cooled air. This distributes the air evenly so everyone in the room can stay comfortable. If you are in a situation that requires forced cooling, you can set your MRCOOL DIY System to manual with the button located on the right side of the unit under the front panel. In this emergency operation mode, you can test the cooling operation of your unit after installation or to complete a maintenance task.
In auto mode, each unit provides air for your home at your desired comfort level. Set your desired temperature, and the HVAC unit will determine how much heat or air conditioning is needed. You can also set this system to a drying function, which will continue to control the space's air temperature while dehumidifying.
Use the sleep mode at night to save money on your utilities bills and use less energy. Sleep mode operates in an 8 hour window once turned on.
The MRCOOL DIY Multi-Zone 18,000 BTU 23.9 SEER2 3-Zone Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner System - 3X DIYCASSETTE06HP-230D25-O comes with many options, so you can customize your system based on your needs. Limit your energy usage and save money on your utility bill by using the system's timer function. If your system begins to run low on refrigerant, an alert will appear on the easy-to-read display on the front of each air handler, letting you know there may be a leak. If you desire to keep a room quiet and minimize lighted alerts, you can mute each indoor unit. By muting the system, the buzzer for alerts will not sound and the LED lit display will turn off. Should the unfortunate event of a power outage occur, the MRCOOL system will automatically shut off and then back on with the same settings once power returns.
Easily maintain your MRCOOL DIY Multi-Zone 18,000 BTU 23.9 SEER2 3-Zone Ductless Mini Split Air Conditioner Unit with alerts and reminders. Any troubleshooting codes will appear on the front display and the user manual contains an index for common codes. Air filter cleaning alerts are automatic, and you can easily keep the minimal indoor units clean with a dry or damp cloth.
