MRCOOL DIY® 36K BTU 5th Gen Single-Zone Mini Split System

The MRCOOL DIY® 5th Generation 36,000 BTU Single-Zone Mini Split System delivers powerful, energy-efficient heating and cooling for large spaces—all with true DIY installation. Designed for areas approximately 1,000–1,500 square feet, this system is ideal for homes, workshops, garages, additions, and commercial spaces where dependable comfort and simple installation matter.

Unlike traditional mini split systems, the MRCOOL DIY® platform eliminates the need for professional HVAC installation. The system uses MRCOOL® DIY® Quick Connect Pre-Charged Line Sets, allowing homeowners to install without vacuum pumps, refrigerant handling, or specialized tools. Everything is factory sealed, pre-charged, and designed for straightforward connection.

Built around advanced inverter technology, the 5th Gen DIY system maintains consistent indoor temperatures while reducing energy consumption. It uses R-454B refrigerant, a lower-GWP alternative to R-410A that meets modern efficiency and environmental standards without sacrificing performance.

Comfort control is simple and flexible. The system includes wireless remote control, app-based control through the MRCOOL Smart HVAC app, and compatibility with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. Features like Follow Me temperature sensing and Dry Mode dehumidification help fine-tune comfort throughout the year.

Engineered for durability, the outdoor condenser features Gold Fin® corrosion-resistant coating, making it suitable for harsh or coastal environments. Backed by strong manufacturer warranty coverage, the MRCOOL DIY® 36K system is built for long-term reliability and peace of mind.

This system is an ideal solution for homeowners who want high-capacity heating and cooling, modern smart controls, and the cost savings of DIY installation—without compromising on quality or performance.

[E-Star] Is professional installation required for the E-Star series?

Answer:

No. MRCOOL E-Star® systems are designed to support DIY installation using factory-sealed Quick Connect line sets. However, due to the system’s higher capacity and cold-climate capability, some homeowners may choose professional installation for larger or more complex setups.

[E-Star] Does the E-Star include a pre-charged line set?

Answer:

Yes. MRCOOL E-Star® Single Zone systems include a 25 ft MRCOOL® DIY® Quick Connect Pre-Charged Line Set as standard.

At MRCOOL DIY Direct, we also specialize in custom line set lengths, allowing customers to receive exactly what their installation requires. Available options include 16 ft, 25 ft, 35 ft, 41 ft, 50 ft, and up to 75 ft, using longer line sets or approved combinations with couplers and extended control wiring. We configure this on our end so your system arrives ready for your specific layout.

This ensures proper performance, clean installation, and no guesswork for the homeowner.

[E-Star] What refrigerant does the E-Star use?

Answer:

MRCOOL E-Star® systems use R-454B refrigerant, a next-generation, lower-GWP refrigerant designed to meet modern efficiency and environmental standards while delivering strong performance in both heating and cooling modes.

[E-Star] Why does the E-Star cost more than standard mini-split systems?

Answer:

The E-Star® series uses advanced compressor technology and cold-climate engineering that allows it to maintain heating performance at much lower temperatures. This added capability, along with higher efficiency components, contributes to the increased cost compared to standard systems.

[E-Star] Does the E-Star system still cool efficiently in summer?

Answer:

Absolutely. E-Star systems deliver excellent, energy-efficient cooling performance during warm weather while also providing advanced heating capability in winter. Cooling efficiency remains comparable to other high-efficiency MRCOOL systems.

[E-Star] Is the E-Star a good choice as a primary heat source?

Answer:

Yes. In many climates, the MRCOOL E-Star® can serve as a primary heating source. Its cold-weather performance makes it a strong option for homes, workshops, garages, and living spaces where dependable winter heating is required.

[E-Star] How well does the E-Star perform in cold weather?

Answer:

E-Star systems are cold-climate rated and are designed to deliver reliable heating performance down to approximately -13°F, making them suitable for regions with harsh winter conditions and extended sub-freezing temperatures.

[E-Star] What makes the E-Star different from other MRCOOL mini-split systems?

Answer:

The MRCOOL E-Star® series is designed for enhanced heating performance, especially in colder climates. While all MRCOOL systems provide efficient cooling, the E-Star features a higher-performance compressor and cold-climate optimization that allows it to maintain heat output at much lower outdoor temperatures.

[E-Star] Is the E-Star suitable for off-grid or backup heating scenarios?

Answer:

E-Star systems can be an excellent choice for supplemental or primary heating in off-grid or backup scenarios when paired with appropriate electrical infrastructure. Always confirm electrical requirements and power availability before installation.
