MRCOOL
The DIY brand: pre-charged quick-connect line sets on the DIY ductless series (no field flares there) and the Universal ducted heat pump. Expect homeowner installs — verify fitting torque, line-set integrity and commissioning basics the factory could not. Ductless reference: Identify the product line, generation and connection method before servicing. Approved precharged quick-connect systems differ from field-flared installations; follow their dedicated recovery and reconnection instructions.

Ductless mini split
Reference for nowInverter-driven outdoor unit feeding one or more wall, ceiling or compact-ducted heads over a communicating line. The fastest-growing machine in both segments.
Inverter boards, communicating controls and electronic expansion valves — not the contactor-and-run-cap machine the board models, and dedicated mini-split tickets are on the roadmap. From the A2L start-up guide, the refrigerant handling, nitrogen and deep-vacuum discipline transfer; its charge-to-subcooling step does not — these machines charge by weight to the manufacturer’s line-length math, behind flares torqued to spec. On the call itself, flash codes and the manufacturer’s service data lead.
Heat pump (split)
Lessons carry overA split system that also heats: one reversing valve decides which coil condenses. Everything a straight-cool split has, plus the O (or, on some brands, B) circuit and defrost.
The HEAT PUMP wing of the board works the reversing valve; the guided flow routes heat pumps to escalation until its playbook ships. The electrical side transfers one-for-one.

Tech support
The Copilot loads your MRCOOL equipment details. Guided diagnostic coverage depends on the equipment type; ductless and monoblock systems currently use the reference library.
Model-number decoding here covers residential and multi-family split systems and package units, 5 tons and under — MRCOOL equipment lives outside that scope, so the manufacturer’s literature leads on model specifics. The Copilot still loads the brand for a guided session.
