Important Sizing Note
This bundle has been configured for a typical home layout with three bedrooms and one living room, using one 36K BTU MRCOOL® DIY® 5th Gen Multi-Zone Condenser, three 9K BTU air handlers, and one 12K BTU air handler.
The recommended coverage of up to around 1,500 sq. ft. is a general guideline. Actual system sizing depends on factors such as room dimensions, ceiling height, insulation, climate, window area, and sun exposure.
If your home has unusually large rooms, vaulted ceilings, poor insulation, or unique heating and cooling requirements, we recommend confirming your sizing before ordering.
