These ducted systems connect to your existing ductwork and provide whole-home comfort using advanced inverter technology.

Collection Buying Guide

MRCOOL Universal® Series central ducted heat pump systems offer a powerful alternative to traditional HVAC systems by combining high-efficiency performance with flexible installation options. Designed for use with existing ductwork, these systems provide whole-home heating and cooling with consistent airflow and improved energy savings.

With efficiency ratings up to 18.6 SEER2 and advanced inverter technology, Universal systems automatically adjust output to maintain precise indoor temperatures while reducing energy consumption. The multi-position air handler and compact M-coil design improve airflow and make installation easier in a variety of home layouts.

One of the biggest advantages of the MRCOOL Universal system is its DIY-friendly installation flexibility. Both the condenser and air handler are pre-charged, allowing homeowners to install the system using optional pre-charged No-Vac® line sets or traditional flare lines. When using standard line sets, only a simple evacuation of the lines is required before opening the refrigerant system, eliminating the need for complex charging procedures.

These systems are built for year-round performance, delivering reliable cooling in high temperatures and strong heating output even in colder climates. With support for optional auxiliary heat kits and compatibility with standard ducted systems, MRCOOL Universal units provide a seamless upgrade path for replacing aging central air systems or transitioning from furnace-based heating.
