How To Install Mr Cool DIY Series

In this video I will show you how I installed my Mr Cool 18,000 BTU DIY Ductless Mini Split. I never imagined that I would install my own unit, but I will be the first to tell you all, it is way easier than I was thinking it would be. You can save thousands by installing one of these yourself. This video will make the process easy to understand. Hope you enjoy.

I have had a Mr. cool unit for 5 years and it works perfectly. I live in Newburgh In where its hot and humid in summer and can get pretty cold in winter and it takes no time to cool but I do use a gas heater to get the shop up to 60+befor i turn it on and it keeps the temp perfectly. I don't leave it running all the time because it might be days in between that I can be in the shop and yes so easy to install. Thank you for you videos.

I just installed a 12K DIY GEN3 unit at our Lake Camp and love it!! This is an easy install if you have basic DIY skills; This system was on sale at HD this spring for $1063 (normal price $1429); due to its high efficiency, it qualified for a $400 energy from the local power company; if this was our primary residence, it would have also qualified for an additional $250 energy rebate from the state; well all is said and done, with outside unit pad, line set cover, A/C disconnect, new dedicated breaker for panel, 50' of electrical wire, it was less than $900.

Jason: what an outstanding video you've produced in the install of the 18 K MR. COOL !
You have explained Everything so well and covered All aspects of the install.
I have watched dozens of videos and many just ramble on and on and on NOT getting to the point.
You are to the point focusing on EXACTLY what viewers want. Thank you so much !

Nice to see they updated the design. The older ones has the entire line set attached to the interior unit, so you’d have to pull 25 feet of line through your interior hole.

[pmelchman]

Glad to see you are getting the new shop up and running. All the hard work if of moving and setting up will pay off with the future builds.

I just installed a 24k. Needed a boom lift for the 20 feet in the wall install...exhausted. this thing works

Congratulations Jason on another great video. You are a teacher that explains very simply, but shows the respect to your subs on your channel, that some of us are at the very beginning and others that have a lot of knowledge, yet feel that we are all learning. I don't know if you know it, but you are a natural at teaching.

Thank you Jason for sharing you’re detailed Mr Cool installation, most helpful, spot on!

You convinced me to give it a go! I was really only scared about the electrical part but that was a walk in the park! Great video!

[MJHanegraaf]

Excellent detailed description of the process - will be VERY helpful.

[scottbarrett]

I really liked this video. Thank you for sharing your experience. Your presentation was clear and encouraging... I'm glad you addressed the crimping issue, showed an easy way to link to the outside wall and what it looks like outside when finished. I'll watch it a couple of times again before I attempt it.

[peterfettig]

Those are some pretty high esti-mints. Just teasing. Thanks for the video.

[lundyswoodcrease]

Wow! I was almost ready to call a pro but now I’m going to just diy it. Great video JB! Cheers!

[kyleromine]

This is a miracle! I’m getting estimates for a mini split, but no more! I’m doing this myself for half the cost and it’s so easy! I am a little worried about the quality/longevity of the unit though. Seems a little inexpensive.... hopefully its quality parts!!!

[scottlouis]

I looked into that, didn`t need one right now but just in case. nice to see too thanks

[JasonSigman]

Great video! I was able to get everything installed except the black tar pads were completely melted so they got tossed. Also, the 3 rolls of vinyl tape seemed useless as it's not really tape... so I just used some duct tape instead. It's good to have the breaker box installed ahead of time!

[brianhornby]

Thanks for doing this video. I just picked up the same exact unit that you put in and haven't seen a video with this exact unit. I have been planning this for two months and my unit took 5 weeks to arrive. I don't foresee any issues as I have already ran the 220 and planned everything else out.

[marioatoyan]

Great video. One of the best out of all that I watched.

[ericdeguilo]

Great video, looks like they made it easy. but the part you skipped is the part I’m most concerned about... I don’t like dealing with electrical stuff. But you did answer in comments that it’s 220 so we need an electrician to come in first looks like. Keep up the good work, I look forward to your new shop build!

[allent]

Wow!!! I'm so glad you shared this!!! Didn't know a DIY unit existed. Our new house has installation garage doors and we are (I'm) putting in a shop similar to yours. It would be great to hear pros and cons after the unit operates for 30 days.
