Two-Room Comfort Made Simple.
Need heating and cooling for two separate rooms without installing two separate outdoor systems?
The MRCOOL® DIY® 5th Gen 18K BTU 2-Zone Mini Split System is designed for flexible comfort across two smaller spaces, such as bedrooms, home offices, guest rooms, studios, or small apartments.
This bundle pairs one 18K BTU DIY® 5th Gen multi-zone condenser with two 9K BTU wall-mounted air handlers, giving each room its own indoor unit, remote control, and temperature setting.
Each 9K air handler is suitable for spaces up to around 400 sq ft, while the 18K condenser can support up to three compatible air handlers and a combined comfort area of up to around 750 sq ft.
With MRCOOL® Quick Connect® technology, R-454B refrigerant, DC inverter performance, smart app control, and voice control compatibility, this system gives homeowners an easier path to efficient multi-room heating and cooling.
