Can I install it myself? Yes, mostly.
MRCOOL built the DIY series for homeowners. Five of the six steps are DIY; the electrical hookup should follow your local code. Always follow the MRCOOL installation manual for your model.
- Pick the spots DIYChoose an inside wall for the air handler and a level outdoor spot for the condenser within reach of the line set.
- Mount the wall bracket DIYLevel and screw the mounting plate to the wall studs.
- Drill the line set hole DIYDrill one hole through the wall, sloped slightly down to the outside for the condensate drain.
- Hang the indoor unit DIYFeed the line set, cable and drain through the wall and hook the air handler onto the bracket.
- Set the condenser and Quick Connect® DIYPlace the outdoor unit on a pad or wall bracket and hand-tighten the pre-charged line set. No vacuum pump, gauges or refrigerant handling.
- Power it up ElectricianRun the circuit to the disconnect. Many areas require a licensed electrician for this step. Then turn it on and control it by remote or app.

Just what I needed
"Saw works great. Just what I needed. You may want to update the specs though. It says 110v but it’s 220v. I don’t think it will an 10” saw blade either. Haven’t tried but I don’t think it’s set up for one like it says. Ordering process was nice and easy. Thank you."
Castaly 12" Radial Arm Saw RS-612
Built for 24/7 Production
"Got the JLT #717C for our shop and it’s an absolute beast for narrow stile doors. The 2-second squaring cycle is legit—we’re easily pushing 100+ perfect doors a day now without stressing over glue joint alignment. Setup is super fast with the pin system, and the heavy-duty build takes daily abuse without losing accuracy."
JLT #717C Cabinet Door Clamp
Thanks for the service!
"Here are 2 pictures of the glue tank in our shop. I hesitated to send anything as it is not in its final place but perhaps it's good enough for you. We are using it for our drawer box station and assembly station. Thanks for the service!"

Quiet, Fast, and Totally Worth It
"Bought this California Air Tools compressor for the shop and it’s an absolute game changer. It’s incredibly quiet—you can actually have a normal conversation right next to it without yelling. It fills up fast, keeps up with all our nailers and blowguns with zero issues, and the oil-free pump means no maintenance. If you're tired of loud, annoying compressors ruining the vibe on your floor, grab this bad boy. Worth every penny."
Heavy Duty & Precise
"Brought this Jet 16" x 40" Engine Lathe into the shop recently and it’s an absolute beast. The 3-1/8" spindle bore is exactly what we needed for turning larger bar stock, and the geared head runs incredibly smooth from 25 all the way up to 1,800 RPM. It handles our heavy daily metalwork without breaking a sweat, and you can see how solid the build is right in the photo. If you need a reliable 3-phase lathe that holds tight tolerances all day, grab this bad boy. Worth every penny."
