FAQ

Is this a complete kit?
Yes — air handler and condenser, single zone, with the 25 ft Quick Connect® line set included.

Which size do I need?
MRCOOL lists max coverage from up to 400 sq ft (9K) to up to 1,550 sq ft (36K) under ideal conditions. Real rooms vary — use MRCOOL’s system selector or call the shop to size it.

Do I need an electrician?
The 9K and 12K kits run on 115V; the 18K, 24K and 36K kits run on 208/230V. Each needs a dedicated circuit sized to MRCOOL’s specs (see the table above), and if your local code requires it, a licensed electrician for that hookup.

Warranty?
MRCOOL: 5-year parts, 7-year compressor (DIY 5th Gen E-Star line).

Standard condenser vs Hyper Heat

For 12K and 18K kits you can pick the Hyper Heat condenser. It keeps heating down to −22°F, 9°F colder than the standard kit. The trade-off: at 18K it gives up a little efficiency (21.2 vs 22.5 SEER2, 11 vs 11.5 HSPF2), and at 12K it runs on 230V instead of 115V, so it needs a 230V circuit. If your winters aren’t that cold, the standard kit is the more efficient choice.

Hyper Heat specs are from MRCOOL’s brochure and are preliminary, subject to change. The standard condenser operating range shows heating only; MRCOOL’s cooling limit isn’t on our spec sheet. The 12K Hyper Heat kit uses the 230V 12K air handler. We check in to confirm before your order is final.
