Boost Your Heating with the MRCOOL Universal Series Heat Kit

Enhance the heating capabilities of your MRCOOL Universal Series system with the MRCOOL Universal Series Heat Kit. This vital addition is specifically designed to augment the performance of your existing setup, ensuring efficient and reliable heating during the colder months. It's an indispensable component for maintaining a comfortable and warm environment in your home.

The MRCOOL Universal Series Heat Kit integrates seamlessly with your current system, boosting its functionality to meet the demands of lower temperatures. By providing additional heating capacity, this kit helps your system cope with extreme cold, ensuring that your living space remains cozy and inviting no matter how harsh the weather gets outside.

Why Add a Heat Kit to Your System?

Installing a heat kit offers several benefits:

  • Enhanced Comfort: The added heating power ensures that your home maintains a steady, comfortable temperature even during the coldest parts of the year.
  • Improved Efficiency: The heat kit is designed to work efficiently with your Universal Series system, optimizing energy use and reducing heating costs over time.
  • Reliability: Built to the same high standards as all MRCOOL products, the Universal Series Heat Kit offers dependable performance when you need it most.

How to Select the Right Heat Kit for Your System

Choosing the correct heat kit involves understanding the heating needs of your space and matching them to the capacity of the heat kit. Here’s how to calculate which heat kit is right for your system:

Calculate Your Space's Heating Requirement:

1- Measure the Square Footage: Determine the total square footage of the area you need to heat.

2- Determine the BTUs per Square Foot: A general rule of thumb is to use between 30 to 60 BTUs per square foot in moderate to cold climates. The exact number can depend on factors such as ceiling height, window quality, insulation, and the climate zone.

3- Total BTUs Needed: Multiply the total square footage by the BTUs per square foot to get your total BTUs needed.

4- Select the Heat Kit: Choose a heat kit that matches or slightly exceeds your calculated BTUs requirement to ensure efficient heating without underperformance.

For example, if you have a 1,000 square foot area in a moderately cold climate:

  • 1,000 sq ft * 40 BTUs per sq ft = 40,000 BTUs required.
  • Choose the heat kit that offers at least 40,000 BTUs to ensure adequate heating.

Overall, the MRCOOL Universal Series Heat Kit is an essential upgrade for any homeowner looking to enhance their heating system's effectiveness and ensure comfort throughout the winter months. With its seamless integration and robust performance, it's the perfect complement to your MRCOOL Universal Series HVAC system.

  • MRCOOL DIY Mini Split Sizing Guide

    Which air handler is best for your room size?

    The size of your room is the main factor in choosing the right unit. MRCOOL DIY 4th Gen comes in various sizes, each designed to cool and heat specific square footage ranges.

    Here's a quick reference for choosing the right BTU based on your room size:

    • 9,000 BTU covers up to 375 square feet.
    • 12,000 BTU covers up to 550 square feet.
    • 18,000 BTU covers up to 800 square feet.
    • 24,000 BTU covers up to 1,050 square feet.
    • 36,000 BTU covers up to 1,550 square feet.

    How BTU Limits Work in Your Mini-Split System

    You can opt for high BTU air handlers for strong heating and cooling. But, if you plan to run multiple air handlers at the same time, consider the main unit's (condenser) maximum power.

    Here’s the deal: Suppose your condenser can handle 18,000 BTU, and you have two indoor air handlers, each at 12,000 BTU. If both run simultaneously, they’ll automatically adjust to 9,000 BTU each to match the condenser's limit. This ensures the system runs safely.

    If you usually run one air handler at a time, a lower BTU condenser might be sufficient. But if you plan to use all air handlers together, a higher BTU condenser is the way to go. This lets you enjoy the full power of each air handler without overloading the system.

    By considering these factors, you can ensure your MRCOOL DIY 4th Gen unit is perfectly sized for your needs, keeping you comfortable year-round.
