Before you buy
- The listing says "Pre-Charged", but Della's FAQ says the lines are not pre-vacuumed; it is a flare-and-vacuum install.
- Della's printed manual says the extended warranty is for professional installation; the current web policy gives registered DIY installs replacement parts at Della's discretion. Screenshot it the day you buy.
- Della also sells Vario, Optima Pro, Hyper Heat and older R410A lines; most owner reports are about those.
