The MRCOOL DIY mini split system is an attractive option for homeowners seeking an efficient and budget-friendly solution for heating and cooling. Its claim to fame? Easy DIY installation – thanks to pre-charged lines and quick connectors – eliminating the need for professional contractors and specialized tools.

But how long can you expect it to last?

With proper installation, maintenance, and use, MRCOOL DIY mini split systems can be expected to last 12-15 years. Some systems, under ideal conditions, may even reach 20 years.

Maximizing Your MRCOOL DIY Mini Split's Lifespan

Here are key factors influencing your MRCOOL mini split:

• Installation: While DIY-friendly, proper installation is crucial. Consider consulting an HVAC professional to ensure adherence to local building codes and optimal performance.
• Maintenance: Regular maintenance, like cleaning filters and coils, is essential for efficient operation and preventing breakdowns. MRCOOL offers a Care Kit Program to help with this.
• Usage: Frequency of use impacts lifespan. A unit constantly running will naturally wear out faster than one used occasionally.

MRCOOL DIY Warranty: Peace of Mind

MRCOOL DIY mini split systems come with a comprehensive warranty, providing peace of mind for unexpected issues:

• 5 Year Parts: Covers defects in parts for 5 years.
• 7 Year Compressor: Provides coverage for the compressor, the system's heart, for 7 years (registration required).
• 1 Year Remote Control

The full warranty only applies when you enroll in the MRCOOL Care Program, which includes ordering the MRCOOL Care Kit twice a year at a low price. When you enroll in this program, the Care Kit will ship automatically every 6 months.

Thinking Long Term? Consider Professional Installation

While the MRCOOL DIY boasts user-friendly installation, professional installation by a licensed HVAC contractor can ensure:

• Optimal Performance: A professional can ensure your system is properly sized and installed for your home, maximizing efficiency and comfort.
• Warranty Coverage: Improper installation can void your warranty. A professional ensures everything is done according to code.
