Designed for Real DIY Installation
Unlike traditional mini split systems that require vacuum pumps,
gauges, refrigerant charging, and specialized HVAC tools, the DIY 5th Gen
uses a factory pre-charged QuickConnect® line set that simplifies installation
for capable homeowners.
The included DIYPro® armored cable further streamlines installation while
helping protect the communication wiring without requiring separate conduit
in many applications.
Efficient Inverter-Driven Performance
The variable-speed inverter compressor continuously adjusts output based on
room conditions instead of repeatedly cycling on and off like older fixed-speed
systems.
This helps maintain more stable indoor temperatures while improving overall
efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and delivering quieter comfort
throughout changing seasonal conditions.
Smart Comfort and Everyday Convenience
The included Smart HVAC Controller® provides WiFi app control from your
smartphone or tablet, while built-in compatibility with Amazon Alexa and
Google Assistant adds convenient voice control integration.
- WiFi smartphone control included
- Amazon Alexa & Google Assistant compatible
- Follow Me® temperature sensing remote
- Auto restart after power outages
- Louver position memory
- Washable air filters
Built for Long-Term Reliability
The outdoor condenser features Gold Fin® corrosion-resistant protection
designed to help withstand long-term environmental exposure, including
humid and coastal conditions.
The system also uses modern R-454B refrigerant and includes low ambient
cooling capability for added flexibility throughout the year.
