MRCOOL® Universal 4 to 5 Ton 18 SEER Central Heat Pump Split System - Upflow/Horizontal - MDU18048060
Elevate Your Comfort with the 4 to 5 Ton 18 SEER MrCool Universal Central Heat Pump Split System
Discover excellence in heating and cooling with the 4 to 5 Ton 18 SEER MrCool Universal Central Heat Pump Split System—a top-tier product leading the industry in performance, versatility, and simplicity. This central heat pump not only excels at cooling, surpassing the capabilities of most air conditioners, but it also outperforms virtually every other heat pump on the market. Moreover, it competes head-to-head with traditional furnaces during cold weather and reduces energy consumption, all thanks to its advanced internal controls. Embracing cutting-edge technology, it simplifies HVAC installation, making it quicker and more straightforward than ever before.

But what does this package include, exactly? Let's start with the installation of the 4 to 5 Ton 18 SEER MrCool Universal Central Heat Pump Split System. Traditional heat pump split system installation requires an HVAC technician to meticulously cut the refrigerant line set to fit, charge it with nitrogen, braze the connections, vacuum the lines, and finally charge it with an appropriate refrigerant like R-410a. While effective, this process can be time-consuming, taking many hours to complete, and it demands specialized tools.
MRCOOL UNIVERSAL HEAT PUMP: DEFYING THE COLD DOWN TO -22 DEGREES
The 4 to 5 Ton 18 SEER MrCool Universal Central Heat Pump Split System is a performance powerhouse. Featuring a variable-speed DC inverter compressor inside the condenser, it achieves outstanding SEER performance and unmatched production capability. In practical terms, it delivers maximum cooling and heating efficiency at both high and low temperatures. It provides 100% cooling at 110 degrees Fahrenheit, up to 72% heating at -5 degrees, and maintains heating performance down to an impressive -22 degrees, in stark contrast to conventional heat pumps that lose efficiency below 32 degrees.
Simplify Your Installation with No-Vac Quick Connect Line Set Compatibility!

When paired with the MrCool Universal Pre-Charged Quick Connect Line Set, the 4 to 5 Ton 18 SEER MrCool Universal Central Heat Pump Split System requires no cutting, brazing, vacuuming, or charging.

I like this A/C easy to install and better performance. My old A/C unit used to build up an ice inside the evap and could not cool my house. Mr Cool is the best DIY project.

Perfect Installation!
This unit arrived in perfect condition. The trucking company (Old Dominion) was truly professional. If you have basic mechanical aptitude, it may be a great way to save money like I did by installing it myself. No need for any customer support since the instructions are detailed and many how to videos on the web to give a clear understanding. The seller quickly shipped and provided tracking with the best price of a complete system.

System performs as described and wow it's quiet!!! Recommend 6" hole saw for running line set through the wall. When i first ran the system, I was getting heat instead of cold. Learned that there is a setting in my Sensi smart thermostat that required the O/B setting that controls the reversing valve to be switched and now it heats and cools properly. I am happy so far.
Oh and you will Def need two strong people to lift/move the condensor and air handler.

Saved me $10k!
I had an old propane furnace/AC unit that was failing quickly. I was quoted $16k for an 18 SEER heat pump by 2 local contractors. I was able to install this system (including additional tools and parts) for $6k saving me $10k. I'm ecstatic about that. We're also one step closer to being a fully electric house which I love.
I've only had it installed for about a month and the weather in the Midwest has been temperate. It runs in the morning but not much during the days since it's in the 60s. Time will tell on the performance come summer. So far though I'm getting good air flow and the temp at the vents is registering 90 degrees.
I'd like to focus on the DIY aspect of this product. At first I thought the idea of installing my own heat pump was crazy. I'm pretty handy but knew nothing about HVAC previously, or what heat pumps were for that matter. Before purchasing I did a ton of research on the product. There are a ton of great videos and blog posts about people's install process. It absolutely is DIY but that doesn't mean it's a cakewalk if you're not familiar with this field. Don't expect the install manual to walk you though step by step, it's more of a manual with pertinent information. The main thing that qualifies this as DIY is the precharged lines. That removes the need for you to braze, vacuum, and charge your own lines. They are awesome.
If you want to take this project on there are a few things you should be comfortable with (or able to research and figure out). Here are the items you'll likely need to tackle: replacing breakers in your electrical panel, running new wire with the correct gauge, doing custom duct modifications with sheet metal, wiring up a thermostat, wiring 240VAC appliances, PVC work for the drain line, etc. If you're good with these you should be good. Again youtube is your friend.
There were a few lessons I learned that might make your life easier:
1. They give you torque recommendations for the line fittings. I didn't want to buy an expensive crescent torque wrench so I bought an 'adjustable crows foot wrench' and did a free tool rental from a local autoparts store for a socket torque wrench. That gave me peace of mind about the fittings not leaking.
2. I had a local sheet metal shop make a pedestal stand for the unit to sit on. My old unit had the supply air come in the side so I needed something for the unit to sit on (it's an upflow unit). This was a great decision and well worth the money. I did the modification at the top myself.
3. I haven't needed to have a local contractor service it but I read many things online about people having trouble getting someone to come out to service a DIY unit. Just something you should know going into your purchase.
4. I replaced my old thermostat with an Ecobee Lite 3. The tech support (free to call for help) told me that the Nests are having problems with all heat pumps and recommended Ecobee. I'm happy with it so far
5. There is free lifetime tech support from Mini Split Systems Direct. I called them twice to ask a quick question and they were very helpful.
For now I'm thrilled with the product. Every time the air runs I light up with joy at the reminder of how much money I saved (and am continuing to save with the more efficient product).
I like this A/C easy to install and better performance. My old A/C unit used to build up an ice inside the evap and could not cool my house. Mr Cool is the best DIY project.

I've only had it installed for about a month and the weather in the Midwest has been temperate. It runs in the morning but not much during the days since it's in the 60s. Time will tell on the performance come summer. So far though I'm getting good air flow and the temp at the vents is registering 90 degrees.
I'd like to focus on the DIY aspect of this product. At first I thought the idea of installing my own heat pump was crazy. I'm pretty handy but knew nothing about HVAC previously, or what heat pumps were for that matter. Before purchasing I did a ton of research on the product. There are a ton of great videos and blog posts about people's install process. It absolutely is DIY but that doesn't mean it's a cakewalk if you're not familiar with this field. Don't expect the install manual to walk you though step by step, it's more of a manual with pertinent information. The main thing that qualifies this as DIY is the precharged lines. That removes the need for you to braze, vacuum, and charge your own lines. They are awesome.
If you want to take this project on there are a few things you should be comfortable with (or able to research and figure out). Here are the items you'll likely need to tackle: replacing breakers in your electrical panel, running new wire with the correct gauge, doing custom duct modifications with sheet metal, wiring up a thermostat, wiring 240VAC appliances, PVC work for the drain line, etc. If you're good with these you should be good. Again youtube is your friend.
There were a few lessons I learned that might make your life easier:
1. They give you torque recommendations for the line fittings. I didn't want to buy an expensive crescent torque wrench so I bought an 'adjustable crows foot wrench' and did a free tool rental from a local autoparts store for a socket torque wrench. That gave me peace of mind about the fittings not leaking.
2. I had a local sheet metal shop make a pedestal stand for the unit to sit on. My old unit had the supply air come in the side so I needed something for the unit to sit on (it's an upflow unit). This was a great decision and well worth the money. I did the modification at the top myself.
3. I haven't needed to have a local contractor service it but I read many things online about people having trouble getting someone to come out to service a DIY unit. Just something you should know going into your purchase.
4. I replaced my old thermostat with an Ecobee Lite 3. The tech support (free to call for help) told me that the Nests are having problems with all heat pumps and recommended Ecobee. I'm happy with it so far
5. There is free lifetime tech support from Mini Split Systems Direct. I called them twice to ask a quick question and they were very helpful.
For now I'm thrilled with the product. Every time the air runs I light up with joy at the reminder of how much money I saved (and am continuing to save with the more efficient product).
