Designed for homeowners who want zoned heating and cooling without paying for professional installation, the MRCOOL DIY 5th Generation 36,000 BTU 2-Zone Mini-Split provides efficient, independent comfort in two separate rooms using a single outdoor condenser.
This system includes one 12,000 BTU and one 24,000 BTU wall-mounted indoor unit, along with factory pre-charged QuickConnect® line sets. This eliminates the need for vacuum pumps, refrigerant handling, or specialized HVAC tools. If you can handle basic tools and standard electrical connections, you can install this system yourself.
Each zone operates independently, allowing personalized temperature control in both spaces. With efficiency ratings up to 21.8 SEER2 and 10.0 HSPF2-4 heating performance, this system delivers serious energy savings while providing reliable heating performance down to -13°F for year-round comfort.
Ideal for rooms, offices, or living areas of varying sizes, this dual-zone mini split offers a simple way to condition up to 1,600 square feet total (Up to 550 sq. ft. + Up to 1,050 sq. ft.), backed by strong warranty coverage for long-term peace of mind.
