MRCOOL® DIY® Select 18,000 BTU Mini-Split Complete System – Single Zone, 230V

The MRCOOL® DIY® Select 18,000 BTU Complete System is an affordable, all-in-one mini split solution for heating and cooling spaces up to 800 sq. ft. Everything you need is included — condenser, air handler, and an 11.5 ft. pre-charged QuickConnect® line set — for a fast, tool-free DIY installation. Note: this unit uses a 1/2" suction line and runs on 230V — a dedicated 230V circuit is required. Additional line set lengths (16 ft., 25 ft., 35 ft., and 50 ft.) are available separately up to a maximum of 75 ft.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between the DIY Select and the DIY 5th Gen?
The DIY Select is MRCOOL’s entry-level line — more affordable and includes a shorter 11.5 ft. line set. The 5th Gen is the premium line with higher SEER2 ratings, longer line sets, a 7-year compressor warranty, and Energy Star certification. The Select is ideal for budget-conscious buyers; the 5th Gen is better for long-term efficiency and larger spaces.

Does this unit require special wiring?
Yes — the 18K DIY Select runs on 208-230V and requires a dedicated 230V circuit. Unlike the 9K and 12K Select models, this unit cannot plug into a standard 115V household outlet.

What size suction line does this unit use?
This unit uses a 1/2" suction line — larger than the 9K and 12K Select models which use 3/8". Make sure your line set is compatible before ordering.

Can I extend the line set beyond 11.5 ft.?
Yes — additional line set lengths (16 ft., 25 ft., 35 ft., and 50 ft.) are available separately, up to a maximum of 75 ft.

Is it Wi-Fi compatible?
Yes. Control your system from anywhere using the MRCOOL Comfort app on iOS or Android. It also works with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for hands-free voice control.

What is the warranty?
The DIY Select is backed by:

  • 2-Year Compressor Warranty
  • 1-Year Parts Warranty
