I never thought I’d install my own HVAC system, but MRCOOL made it possible. The instructions were easy, and the pre-charged lines saved me from hiring a tech. Cools my garage workshop perfectly!

Jason R., North Carolina

Our MRCOOL mini-split runs really quiet — you can barely tell it’s on. Our electric bill dropped about 35% this summer. Very impressed with the efficiency

Installed this in my detached office. Took me a Saturday morning and a friend to lift the outdoor unit. Works flawlessly — heats in winter and cools in summer.

Daniel P., Texas

I swapped my old central unit for two MRCOOL DIY mini-splits. Same comfort, way lower bills. The inverter technology really makes a difference.

Had a small question during installation and Vanessa picked up right away. They walked me through it step by step — best customer service I’ve had in years.

Keeps our sunroom comfortable in 100°F summers and comfy in the winter. The heat pump feature is amazing — one system for both heating and cooling!
