Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between this and the Hyper Heat 18K wall-mount system?
Same Hyper Heat condenser and performance specs — the only difference is the air handler. This system includes the OuttaSight® ceiling cassette (installs flush in the ceiling between 16" joists) instead of a wall-mount unit. Choose this if you want a concealed installation with no wall unit visible.
Does the ceiling cassette fit standard joists?
Yes — the OuttaSight® cassette fits between standard 16" ceiling joists, including pre-manufactured I-joists, for a flush, concealed installation.
What suction line size does this unit use?
This unit uses a 1/2" suction line. The included 25 ft. QuickConnect® line set is pre-sized for this unit. If you need a longer run (up to 75 ft. max), make sure any additional line set uses 1/2" suction.
Does this qualify for tax credits or rebates?
Yes — as an Energy Star certified system with a 21.2 SEER2 and 11.0 HSPF2-4, this unit may qualify for the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit or utility rebate programs. Check with your local utility provider and a tax professional for eligibility.
Can I install it myself?
Yes. The included 25 ft. pre-charged QuickConnect® line set makes installation vacuum-free. Ceiling installation may require basic carpentry skills. A licensed electrician is still recommended for the 230V electrical hookup.
What is the warranty?
This system is backed by MRCOOL’s best-in-class warranty:
- 7-Year Compressor Warranty
- 5-Year Parts Warranty
