Line Sets

The line set is the pair of insulated copper tubes that carries refrigerant between the indoor and outdoor units. Two things decide which one you buy, and only one is your choice: the diameters are dictated by your unit's BTU size (match the manual exactly), and the length by your measured run plus a little slack. DIY systems ship a pre-charged, quick-connect set; pro installs use a bare set the tech flares and evacuates. Full detail is in the line-set guide.

Buying Checks

  • Buy the diameters your unit's manual specifies - it's not a preference, and the wrong size hurts performance.
  • Measure your run and add slack; going past the rated length can require adding refrigerant (a pro job).
  • Buy insulated, and choose pre-charged quick-connect for DIY or a bare set for a professional install.
