DIY Mini Splits with Wall Mounted Air Handlers
What size DIY Mini Split do I need?
Get ready to tailor your comfort with precision! Here's what you need to consider:
The Size of the Area to Heat / Cool (Square Feet)
Your Local Climate (Is it sizzling hot or icy cold for prolonged periods?)
Insulation (From drafty spaces to snug havens, insulation plays a crucial role)
Basic Sizing based on Square Footage alone:
- 9K BTU = 180 to 375 Sq Ft.
- 12k BTU = 376 to 500 Sq Ft.
- 18k BTU = 501 to 750 Sq Ft.
- 24k BTU = 751 to 1,000 Sq Ft.
- 36k BTU = 1,001 to 1,500 Sq Ft.

What is the operational temperature range for DIY Mini Splits?
The operational temperature range for DIY air conditioning units varies based on whether it's a Multi-Zone or Single-Zone system:
Multi-Zone:

- Heating: -13°F to 75.2°F (outside temperature)
- Cooling: 5°F to 122°F (outside temperature)
For the 4th Gen Multi-Zone 48k condensers:
- Heating: 5°F to 75.2°F (outside temperature)
- Cooling: 5°F to 122°F (outside temperature)
Indoors, at the thermostat:
- Cooling: 62°F to 90°F
- Heating: 32°F to 86°F
Single-Zone:
For the 4th Gen Single Zone 12K – 24k condensers:
- Heating: -13°F to 75°F (outside temperature)
- Cooling: -13°F to 122°F (outside temperature)
For the 4th Gen Single Zone 36k condensers:
- Heating: 5°F to 75°F (outside temperature)
- Cooling: 5°F to 122°F (outside temperature)

What can I do about the excess coil/line set length?
It is recommended to leave the remaining/excess line set coiled horizontally near the condenser and wrapped with protective tape. This will not impact performance whatsoever.
