Voltage Guide
HVAC Mirage equipment operates on standard residential and light commercial electrical configurations:
- 115 Volt (110V-120V, 60Hz, Single-Phase): Available on select 9,000 BTU and 12,000 BTU single-zone models. Allows installation using dedicated 15A or 20A single-pole circuit breakers without dual-pole panel upgrades.
- 208-230 Volt (208V-230V, 60Hz, Single-Phase): Required for all systems 18,000 BTU and larger, all multi-zone outdoor units, and all central AHU split systems. Operates on a dedicated double-pole circuit breaker (typically 20A to 45A depending on MCA/MOP specification).
Refrigerant Guide
HVAC Mirage equipment aligns with North American environmental standards and AIM Act transition schedules:
- R-410A Refrigerant: Established, high-efficiency hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerant utilized across existing installed Mirage equipment. Fully supported with replacement parts and service components.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Do HVAC Mirage mini split systems come pre-charged with refrigerant?
A: Yes. HVAC Mirage outdoor condensing units come factory pre-charged with sufficient refrigerant for standard line set lengths (typically up to 25 feet). If your line set run exceeds the factory pre-charge length, additional refrigerant must be added by a licensed technician during evacuation and testing.
Q2: Can I install an HVAC Mirage mini split myself?
A: While physical mounting of indoor and outdoor units can be performed by experienced DIYers, final refrigerant line evacuation, pressure testing, and high-voltage electrical connections should be completed by a certified HVAC professional to ensure peak efficiency, safety, and full warranty compliance.
Q3: What is the difference between SEER and SEER2?
A: SEER2 is the updated Department of Energy testing standard (effective 2023) that measures efficiency under higher external static pressure. HVAC Mirage systems rated under SEER2 accurately reflect real-world energy performance.
Q4: Are replacement parts available for older Mirage systems?
A: Yes. As an authorized distributor, Mini Split Systems Direct maintains access to genuine Mirage replacement compressors, fan motors, control boards, sensors, and wireless remotes.
