MRCOOL DIYM236HPW05D01 – 36k 5th Gen DIY Multi-Zone Bundle (12K + 18K, 16ft & 25ft Line Sets)

The MRCOOL DIYM236HPW05D01 bundle is a two-zone 5th Gen DIY system designed for homeowners who want one medium room and one larger room on the same 36k multi-zone condenser—with one short-run 16 ft zone and one longer 25 ft zone already matched with the correct R-454B pre-charged line sets.

 

This package combines the 36,000 BTU DIY-MULTI5-36HP230D-O outdoor unit with:

• One 12,000 BTU air handler (DIY-12-HP-WMAH-230D25-O) – up to ~550 sq. ft.
• One 18,000 BTU air handler (DIY-18-HP-WMAH-230D25-O) – up to ~800 sq. ft.
• 16 ft pre-charged line set (DIY16-1438-O) – for the 12K zone
• 25 ft pre-charged line set (DIY25-1412-O) – for the 18K zone that needs a longer run

 

Together, this layout can comfortably cover around 1,300–1,350 sq. ft. depending on climate, home layout, and insulation—perfect for a bedroom + living room, office + open concept area, or other uneven room sizes.

All line sets in this bundle are factory pre-charged with R-454B and use MRCOOL’s Quick-Connect® fittings, so when you follow MRCOOL’s instructions, you don’t need to pull a vacuum or handle refrigerant.

FAQ – MRCOOL DIYM236HPW05D01 36k 5th Gen DIY Multi-Zone Bundle (12K + 18K, 16ft & 25ft)

1. What’s different between DIYM236HPW05D00 and DIYM236HPW05D01?

This DIYM236HPW05D01 bundle uses a 16 ft line set for the 12K unit and a 25 ft line set for the 18K unit. It’s designed when one room is closer to the condenser and the other room needs a longer line run.

 

2. Is this system DIY-friendly?

Yes. With MRCOOL’s Quick-Connect® pre-charged line sets, you don’t need to pull a vacuum or handle refrigerant when you follow MRCOOL’s installation instructions.

 

3. What breaker size does the outdoor unit require?

• Minimum Circuit Ampacity (MCA): 30.5A
• Maximum Fuse / Breaker: 35A

Have a qualified electrician size and install the circuit according to local code and MRCOOL’s installation manual.

 

 

4. How big of a space can this bundle handle?

Approximate room sizing:

• 12K air handler – up to ~550 sq. ft.
• 18K air handler – up to ~800 sq. ft.

Total coverage around 1,300–1,350 sq. ft., depending on insulation, ceilings, windows, and climate.

 

5. How many indoor units can I eventually run on this 36k condenser?

The DIY-MULTI5-36HP230D-O supports up to 5 zones, so you can add more MRCOOL DIY indoor units later as long as you stay inside MRCOOL’s BTU and port limits.

 

 

6. Can I extend the 16 ft or 25 ft line sets if my layout changes?

Yes, MRCOOL offers compatible pre-charged line sets and DIY couplers so you can extend runs within the system’s allowable limits. Always follow MRCOOL’s line length and elevation guidelines.

 

7. What refrigerant does this system use?

All components in this bundle use R-454B, the newer refrigerant MRCOOL is using instead of R-410A.

 

8. Are the 12K and 18K zones controlled separately?

Yes. Each indoor unit has its own remote and WiFi control, so you can set independent temperatures and schedules for the 12K and 18K zones.

 

9. Does this system help with humidity?

Yes. Both indoor units have DRY MODE to remove extra moisture while still cooling, which is great for humid climates.

 

 

10. Is this bundle quiet enough for bedrooms and living rooms?

Yes. The indoor units include Quiet Mode and low fan speeds designed to minimize noise, making them suitable for bedrooms, offices, and living spaces.

 

11. Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?

Yes. With the SmartHVAC® module and app, the system supports Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for voice control.

 

 

12. Is my warranty valid when I buy from MRCOOL Direct?

Yes. When purchased from MRCOOLDIRECT.com, an authorized MRCOOL dealer, your system is fully supported under the MRCOOL warranty when installed and registered per their requirements.

 

 

13. What warranties are included?

• 5-year parts warranty
• 7-year compressor warranty
• Extended Limited Lifetime Replacement Warranty when you enroll in the MRCOOL® Care Program (see MRCOOL terms).

 

 

14. Do I need an electrician if it’s “DIY”?

You can handle the refrigerant side as a DIYer thanks to the pre-charged line sets, but if you’re not very comfortable with 208/230V electrical work, you should use a licensed electrician for the breaker, disconnect, and power wiring. Always follow your states codes.
