DIY Mini Splits: Zone Air Systems Designed for DIY Install

Installed our DIY unit in place of one of those portable AC units with the hose hanging out the window. This looks way better. Thanks!

I put a Zone Air 9k DIY unit in my office. It's about 300 square feet, gets a lot of sun. The 9k unit has been cooled this room down great. I didn't expect to work so easily. Quiet too. I’ve had it turned on during every Zoom call the past few weeks and co workers said they can’t even here it!

I am glad I went with a DIY option. The install was manageable, and the room is finally comfortable.

The finished install looks good. Shipping was a little slow.

The performance has been great without making the install feel overwhelming. It was a practical fix for a room that needed comfort.

I installed this in my living room, and it has handled the space well. The room feels cooler and more comfortable.

For a DIY install, this was a good choice. It was manageable to set up, and the results have been excellent.

Summer was a lot easier with this installed. The room stayed comfortable even during the hottest part of the day.

I have noticed that it does not need to work as hard as my old setup. The room stays comfortable without constant blasting.

For the money, this ductless system has been a strong purchase. It performs well and looks good installed.

The install went smoothly from start to finish. Once it was on, it worked exactly how I hoped.

The final install came out looking cleaner than I expected. It works well and does not look out of place.

Overall, I had a really good experience with this. The install was manageable, and the system has worked great.

The setup was simple, and the comfort improvement was immediate. I noticed the room feeling better the same day.

For a ductless setup, this feels like a very good deal. It works well and looks much nicer than I expected.

The installation was straightforward, and the result was exactly what I hoped for. The space is finally comfortable.

My garage needed something with enough power to actually make a difference. This has handled the space really well.

This is a nice option for someone who wants to handle the install themselves. The system works well and feels very practical for a homeowner.

The setup was simple enough, and using it day to day has been easy. I mostly just set the temperature and forget about it.

For a system I could install myself, the performance has been excellent. It feels like a much more expensive setup than I expected.

I was happy with how clean it looked after installation. It does not take over the room, and it works quietly in the background.

The parts felt good out of the box, and the install was easier than I expected. After getting it running, the room cooled down fast and stayed comfortable.

I took my time with the install and everything came together well. It fired up without any issues and has been running great since.

I did not expect it to feel this solid for a DIY setup. It has been smooth, quiet, and much stronger than I thought it would be.

I was a little nervous before getting started, but the process was pretty straightforward. Once it was running, I was surprised at how quickly the room cooled down.

Okay. I struggled installing it.

I put this in a room that was always either too hot or too cold, and it honestly fixed the problem right away. It has been quiet, easy to use, and way better than the window unit I had before.

This 9K unit has really surprised us - its been a great little unit. The customer support even helped us register the warranty. The high SEER rating has already saved us $80 over the past two months. My husband reckons the installation was easy enough with the pre-charged lineset. We're pretty impressed.

We got a nice rebate from our utility because of the Energy Star certification. The unit has been running for 4 months now and our power bills have definitely gone down. The ECO mode is pretty effective and I love that I can control it from my phone. Installation with the included lineset was pretty straightforward.

I installed this thing in my 400 sq ft garage workshop and its been a total game changer. The 115V plug-and-play was super convenient. Heats fine even below 0°F. The WIFI feature is a nice little touch and the quiet mode is actually quiet - without being annoying.

We installed this in our home office and it keeps the room comfortable all year round. The heating surprised me - it worked fine even at 5°F outside. The only thing I'd say is that the remote could be a bit more intuitive - but once you get the hang of it, it's fine. Overall, it's a great value for what we paid.

I installed this 12K BTU Wall Mount in my 600 sq ft home office and its been amazing. Super quiet on low settings - I didn't even know it was on during a video call. The heating works great even when its below zero outside. Installation was pretty easy with the pre-charged line set. My power bills have gone down noticeably since chucking the old window unit. Plus its just nice to be able to plug it into a standard 115V outlet.

I swapped a window unit out for this 230V one and it's got a way higher efficiency rating than the 115V version I was used to. The 24 SEER2 rating really shows on our electric bill. Installation was pretty straightforward - we already had a 230V outlet from an old window AC around. Extremely quiet and cools the room fast.

We added a 1200 sq ft family room and didn't want to take our existing HVAC out of commission. This 18K unit was the perfect solution. Heating and cooling are both excellent. The smart sleep mode is great - gradually adjusts temperature overnight so we wake up comfortable every morning. Installation with a 208V connection was straightforward for our electrician.

After researching extensively, I chose this unit for the 23.5 SEER2 rating and the cold climate certifications. Three months in and it's been flawless. The variable speed operation keeps temperatures rock solid without the on/off cycling of cheaper units. We got an Energy Star rebate from our utility that covered a good chunk of the installation. Highly recommend!

As an HVAC contractor I've installed my fair share of dual-zone systems - and this one is an excellent value. The build quality is rock solid, the installation is pretty DIY-friendly with the pre-charged lines, and customers just love the independent zone control. The 24 SEER2 rating means real energy savings, not just some pie-in-the-sky promise.

As a small business owner I needed something that looked professional but didnt break the bank. This ceiling cassette delivers on both counts. Installation was manageable with the pre-charged lineset. Our conference room stays comfy year-round.

We installed this in our small office with a drop ceiling - looks super professional. The airflow is all over the space, no hot or cold spots anywhere. Way quieter than I expected too. Our clients all comment on how comfy the office is now.

The unit works beautifully - super quiet and efficient. Just one thing to watch out for - you really do need a proper drop ceiling or be prepared to do some ceiling work - we had to do some ourselves which added to installation time, but the end result is worth it. The air distribution is noticeably better than wall units.

The unit itself is great - quiet efficient & the 360 airflow is noticeably better than wall units. My only advice is to plan your installation carefully. You need to have access to the ceiling for the unit and to get the lineset & condensate line in there. We had to do some drywall work, but the end result is well worth it.

We installed the 12K ceiling cassette in our 550 sq ft conference room & its like night & day - the 4 way air distribution means everyone is comfy, not just the people sitting near the old wall unit. Super quiet too - doesnt even register in meetings.

Installing two units in our open plan office - one for the main work area and one in the conference room. The 360° airflow keeps everyone comfortable no matter where they sit. Having independent control lets us cool down the conference room when the big meetings are happening. Plus the units look super professional.

We were renovating an old brownstone and we really needed something that wouldn't mess with the original look of the place. This concealed unit is perfect - we installed it in a cramped closet with just two tiny grilles in the ceiling. It's totally invisible. And it's nice and quiet to boot.

We installed over our master bedroom ceiling and ran supply/return to the bedroom and bathroom. It's super quiet - we can't even hear it running even at night. And it looks super clean too without any wall units around.

The unit performs flawlessly - super quiet, super efficient, totally invisible. Just be aware that installation required a bit more planning than your average wall unit - you need space in the ceiling for ducts and access for service. We hired an HVAC consultant for the design which was money well spent.

I installed one unit in the master suite (bedroom, bathroom, closet) and another in the main living areas (living room, dining room, kitchen). The only stuff you can see are some small linear vents - and that's it. You'd never even guess there's a mini-split system back there. Each zone stays exactly the right temperature on its own.

We needed some new heating and cooling for our 1890s Victorian, but we wanted to keep the place looking historic. These units got installed in the attic with little ducts going to these tiny ceiling vents - and the original plaster and trim are completely untouched. It operates super quietly and handles our crazy New England winters like a breeze.

Worked well so far.

The 9k cassette works really well so far.

Three zone system in an older house. Easy enough.

The mini split itself works fine, but I wasn't impressed with the manual. The diagrams are small. Because of this I did the drain hose wrong the first time and water started to collect in the hose. Still happy with the purchase now that it’s finished.

The unit has been great, but I messed up thinking I could connect it to an existing bedroom breaker. That circuit also fed two other rooms, so I ended up having an electrician come out.

The system works great, was a bigger project than I anticipated.

Put this in a workshop that’s 550 square feet. Works good.

Zone Air was recommended to us by a contractor friend. Half the cost of other quoted units and works even better! So glad we took his advice. I am super impressed.

The indoor head is larger than I thought, glad we measured the wall first. So far, so good.

Big thanks to Nate in customer service for helping me choose the 230 volt (power was already nearby) otherwise it would have been more work and more money. Overall it’s been great.

Was choosing between MrCool and Zone Air. I chose Zone Air because they are trying to manufacture in the US, so far it is top notch. Happy to support USA manufacturing!

The noise difference alone made this worth it.

We use them constantly, no more fighting over the thermostat.

Great app control. Diagnostics are awesome. Seeing power draw and automated power/refrigerant leak issues is very good. And is not ugly like those wall units. 10/10

Great customer service and support. Worked with me to help me order over the phone.

The room used to be the one place in the house nobody wanted to sit in. Now it is actually one of the more comfortable spots.

Everything about this has been simple in a good way. It looks clean, cools well, and has been one of those purchases I’m glad I didn’t overthink.

Converted our garage to a home gym and this unit handles it perfectly. The 230V version was the way to go since we already had the wiring in place. The WiFi control is also a big plus - I can cool it down before my workout which is awesome.

We've got one air handler over the dining area and one over the bar. Both zones stay perfectly comfortable thanks to independent control. What I really love is the super quiet operation - guests can have real conversations without the constant hum of the heating or air conditioning. Plus the ceiling mount is way more classy than wall units.

Our architect specified these concealed units for our whole home renovation and it looks great. The only visible parts are tiny linear grilles that match our modern design. Worth every penny for the clean look.
