How mechanically inclined do you need to be to connect a mini-split, anyway? Turns out, not very, as recent college grads (go Merced Bobcats!) pull it off in around 5 minutes! Forget your unreliable handyperson or your neighbor's friend. Forget buying all of the otherwise-useless mini-split installation tools, let alone learning to use them. Go Airspool Quick 'n' Easy!
Want the advantages of a high-efficiency mini-split, but worried about the installation process? Airspool allows you to avoid the friction of hiring a stranger, owing a favor, or buying and attempting to learn how to use a bunch of tools you'll never need again. Plus, Airspool allows you to (optionally) connect solar panels to boot! Check out airspool.com/ for more details and shop.airspool.... to get one.

Rating: 12,000 BTU
SEER2: 22 (note: SEER2 is the new, more-stringent Energy Star test)
HSPF: 8.5
All the benefits of our standard high-efficiency 22 SEER2 system when running on grid, infinite efficiency free free free when running off-grid, and a combination of the two when running hybrid using both solar and grid (or inverter) power. But, much, much less installation friction. In fact, you'll be able to attach the inside and outside unit in around 5 minutes. How? The refrigerant lines twist to connect, and are precharged, so no vacuum pump, nitrogen tank, manifold gauge set, torque wrench, adjustable wrench, your brother-in-law, your neighbor, etc. are needed. Same with the communications control wires...just twist to connect. And, the UL-approved correct-amperage electrical cord is not only included, but it's also pre-installed. So, much free cooling. So little time, effort, money for tools or a 'contractor,' and anxiety. Give our patent-pending, soon to award-winning, soon to be cherished by you Quick 'n' Easy a whirl. Like our standard model, in addition to a 3-year parts, 5-year compressor warranty, this system also has a 1-year buy-and-try guarantee. Return it and get all of your money back if it doesn't exceed your expectations.

What tools do I need for the Quick ‘n’ Easy?
You need a drill, ideally a hammer drill to get through your wall. Heck, a nut driver will even work in a pinch. That’s it! We’ve included…
• A pre-installed 110 - 120v electrical cord, UL and amperage approved for the unit. No need to fetch one from the store, strip it, and attempt to connect it.
• A pre-installed communications cable for the inside and outside units. No need to awkwardly thread the cord through the back of the indoor unit and use your bifocals do properly attach each connector to the indoor unit terminal block. And, no need to install the cord on the outdoor unit terminal block, either. No need to worry about the order of the wires or the grounding. We’ve done that for you. Just twist to connect the male connector onto the female connector located at the outdoor unit.
• The hole saw, necessary for getting a hole through the wall for running the line set. This hole saw is better than any we’ve found in the market. It goes through concrete, drywall, brick, and wood.
• Drill bits, used to put the wall anchors into the wall for the indoor unit mounting bracket and the remote control bracket. We’ve included both a mason bit and a standard bit, so for either type of wall, you’re covered.
• A Phillips bit, used to screw in the screws for the indoor unit mounting bracket and remote control bracket. So, you won’t even need a screwdriver.
• We didn’t include a hex wrench like on our standard model. Why? It’s not needed! The valves are already opened on the outdoor unit. You just need to screw together the line set using the preinstalled self-sealing quick connectors on both the high and low-pressure refrigerant lines.
• A miniature level, for making sure the indoor unit mounting bracket is level.
• Gloves, to make it easier to connect the self-sealing connectors on the line set by hand. No wrenches are needed!
• Pre-installed solar whips with MC4 connectors attached to the corresponding MC4 connectors on the outside unit, and a DC disconnect to attach to these whips. Just add solar!
• What other tools aren’t necessary for installing the Airspool Quick ‘n’ Easy? Among other things, a vacuum pump, a nitrogen tank, a manifold gauge set, wrenches (including no need for a torque wrench), wire cutters, wire strippers, and a crimping tool. These really add a lot of time, effort, and money which now isn’t necessary

I bought two of these, two of the older ones that a vacuum pump is needed. They really work great. This demo should have been with NO electrical plug at all, JUST to show people that these will run 100% from just the solar panels. I have mine connected to 4 / 455 watt solar panels, they are probably over-paneled, but that's the way I wanted it. I am going to buy one more very soon and I hope it's a newer one with the quick connects! You should let me come demo one of these, because I'm a consumer, I can tell everyone all the great things it does as well as where the DIY'er will need to really pay attention. These are MUCH better hybrid mini split units than the demo implies.

Thanks for this. It's nice to hear this good news. And yes, we of course welcome your testimonial video(s) ;-)

I just did a non DIY. Never again. This is much easier

Thanks, Eric. Tell your friends. Yes, we've put some thought into how to remove most of the friction and cussing of the install process.
