Before you buy
- MRCOOL also called its older R-410A 4th Gen DIY "E Star"; confirm R-454B and a model number of the form DIY-...D25-O.
- DIYS- is the cheaper DIY Select and EZPRO- is the Easy Pro; a listing that says "5th Gen" and "Select" is the Select.
- The manual says the line sets install once; reconnecting them, or the pipes at the outdoor unit, voids the warranty.
