MRCOOL DIY Ceiling Cassettes: Easy Installation, Quiet Comfort, and Modern Design

MRCOOL DIY Ceiling Cassettes: Quiet, Flush-Mount Cooling with Easy DIY Installation

Get modern, minimalist comfort without bulky wall units. MRCOOL DIY ceiling cassettes recess into your ceiling, delivering powerful, whisper-quiet, energy-efficient cooling—installed by you.

Why Choose a Ceiling Cassette?

  • Discreet design: Flush-mount grille blends with any décor for a clean, built-in look.
  • Ultra-quiet operation: Ideal for bedrooms, offices, and living areas.
  • Zoned comfort: Cool rooms independently for better comfort and lower energy use.
  • DIY-friendly: Designed for straightforward installation—no complex tools.
  • Energy efficient: Smart controls help you fine-tune comfort and save on utilities.

DIY Installation, Simplified

The MRCOOL DIY Ceiling Cassette is designed to fit standard 16-inch joist centers, making installation easier and more accessible for homeowners. These units are engineered for true DIY installation, with pre-charged line sets and a detailed step-by-step guide that walks you through every stage — from mounting the cassette to connecting the outdoor condenser and setting up smart controls.

💡 Tip: Before you begin, double-check your ceiling joist spacing and ensure you have adequate clearance for the unit. Plan your condensate drain route carefully to ensure smooth, reliable operation once installed.

Sleek, Minimalist Style

Unlike window units or bulky wall mounts, cassette systems sit nearly flush with the ceiling, preserving sightlines and wall space for furniture, art, or shelving. The modern grille complements contemporary, traditional, and transitional interiors.

Quiet, Powerful, and Efficient

Enjoy consistent cooling with low sound levels that won’t disrupt sleep, calls, or movie night. Smart temperature control and inverter technology (on compatible models) help reduce energy consumption while keeping comfort steady.

Zoned Cooling for the Way You Live

The MRCOOL DIY Single-Zone Ceiling Cassette is available in an 18K BTU size, perfectly matched with its 230V outdoor condenser for reliable, efficient operation.

For larger homes or expanded comfort, the Multi-Zone system allows you to combine multiple ceiling cassettes or wall-mounted air handlers — available in 6K, 9K, 12K, and 18K BTU capacities — giving you complete flexibility to customize your comfort by room.

Install cassettes where you need them most — bedrooms, offices, or living areas — and enjoy true zoned temperature control. Each space can be adjusted independently to eliminate hot and cold spots, reduce wasted energy, and deliver personalized comfort throughout your home.

Eco-Forward Choice

MRCOOL DIY systems are designed to work with modern, lower-GWP refrigerants and efficient components—an excellent step toward lowering your home’s environmental impact.
