Complete the indoor half of your DIY mini-split system with the 5th Generation MRCOOL® DIY® 12K BTU Air Handler.

Why This Is The Perfect DIY Indoor Unit
✅ Plug-and-Play Connections: Designed exclusively for use with the MRCOOL DIY QuickConnect® system. The pre-charged, 25-foot line set (sold separately) connects in minutes with simple hand tools—no vacuum pump or refrigerant expertise needed.
✅ Simplified Electrical Setup: The included DIYPRO® cable combines high-voltage power and low-voltage communication wires into one rugged jacket. It eliminates the need for separate electrical conduit, resists weather and pests, and plugs directly into the unit for a clean, code-conscious install.
✅ Smart Comfort Controls: Manage your climate your way. Use the included wireless remote, the SmartHVAC app (iOS/Android) for control from anywhere, or voice commands via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Follow Me Technology: The remote acts as a personal thermostat. Enable this mode, and the air handler will sense the remote's location in the room and adjust airflow to keep you comfortable, not just the space around the unit.

Sleek, Low-Profile Design: The modern white cabinet blends seamlessly into any room decor while providing wide-angle, multi-directional airflow for even temperature distribution.
Built for Reliability & Backed by Warranty
