| Product | Description | Add to OrderRECOMMENDED FOR ALL APPLICATIONS |
Disconnect Switch |
RECOMMENDED FOR ALL APPLICATIONS - A disconnect switch mounts in the wall and provides a physical power disconnect for indoor units. This accessory is REQUIRED by code in many geographical areas throughout the country - your local HVAC Technician will know if it's required in your area. We like the First America DFS-SWITCH-A because it's specifically built for mini split systems - we recommend this item on all systems, even if not required by law. One per indoor unit. |
|
HVAC Surge Protector |
RECOMMENDED FOR ALL APPLICATIONS – A Ductless Mini Split is an investment in your home and your comfort – it’s very wise to protect that investment against those power surges that can kill your home appliances and turn into very costly repairs or replacements. We recommend the Intermatic AG3000 for our Ductless Mini Split Systems because it’s specific for Mini Split HVAC units, easy to install, reliable and rated for outdoor use. One per outdoor unit. |
|
Speedi-Channel Wall Sleeve |
RECOMMENDED FOR MOST APPLICATIONS – This is simple sleeve that runs through the wall, where you need to insert your lineset, control wires and drain lines. This little piece just makes it cleaner and easier to run those lines through when completing the installation – without tearing up your drywall and making a mess – they’re also highly recommended for use with Stucco and Brick installations. One per indoor unit. |
|
Thread Sealant |
RECOMMENDED FOR ALL APPLICATIONS - This product is an inexpensive add-on to ensure you're getting a tight seal at all your connection points to avoid leaks and prevent system failure down the line. Something that many will easily overlook, but can save many headaches later. One per system. |
|
Green Mini Strips |
RECOMMENDED – With no harsh chemicals or biocides, we recommend the PurCool Green Mini Strips as a very inexpensive and environmentally friendly way to prevent slime and sludge build-up in your air handler – which will also assist in making sure the air that is circulating is cleaner. This product is recommended for all applications since the system acts as a dehumidifier, but especially recommended in humid climates. These strips last up to 6 months for large systems or can be cut in half for smaller tonnage evaporators giving you up to a year of protection. One per indoor unit. |
|
|
POSSIBLE – Often overlooked – where are you going to put your condenser? If you’re replacing an existing Mini Split, this is probably less of a concern for you. If you’re changing out central air for a Mini Split – then you likely have an existing concrete pad. Since condensers on Ductless Mini Split systems are so much smaller, this pad may be too large. Below is the information on the two options we offer. |
|
* Plastic Condenser Pad |
This Outdoor Condenser Mounting pad is specially engineered to provide self-leveling support on the ground and has a textured surface to keep your condenser stable at all times. This pad is highly recommended for most applications as it is compact and lightweight, yet sturdy and designed specifically for your Ductless Mini Split. One per oudoor unit. |
|
* Wall Mount Bracket |
This sturdy bracket provides flexibility of installation for your mini-split condenser when ground space is not an option. The cross bar mounts directly to the exterior wall, and the L-shaped brackets are connected securely to it and the condenser, using bolts and vibration-proof washers provided with the system. This bracket is highly recommended for 2nd story applications, or in areas where winter snowfall can be excessive. One per outdoor unit. |
|
|
POSSIBLE – By design, ductless mini split systems remove excess humidity from the air – potentially having the need to remove a lot of excess condensation. In many applications, a condensate Pump kit would be required and a welcome addition to assist in keeping your system dry – which in the long run, will help keep it clean. Most often, our customers add these pumps when gravity cannot be used to drain all of the condensation – or if your drain lines are long (to ensure they keep dry and avoid mold from growing). We recommend the following three ASPEN Pumps for ease of use and installation. Note – each one has a specific installation application. |
|
Mini Aqua Condensate Pump Kit |
This pump is our most popular and versatile kit – it can be used in systems that are less than 30,000 BTU’s. (Note, if you have a multi-zone system, size the pump to each air handler). This compact pump mounts inside the air handler and is extremely quiet. Conveniently, it can be added to your system even after your initial installation is complete, if it is decided that you need it later. One per indoor unit. |
|
Mini White Condensate Pump Kit |
Like the Aqua pump, this kit is recommended for use with systems that are less than 30,000 BTU’s. This pump will mount on the wall near the air handler, but not internally to the system. This makes it extremely easy to install and especially great for ceiling suspended indoor units. We also love the snap-on/off cover for simple access to clean the filter. One per indoor unit. |
|
Maxi Orange Condensate Pump Kit |
This pump is specific for systems that are 30,000 BTU’s and higher. Like the Aqua pump, it’s extremely quiet and mounts inside the air handler. This pump is designed for higher performance to give you more power when you need it. One per indoor unit. |
|
Condensate Drain Line |
POSSIBLE– If you’re adding a Condensate Pump to your application, you’ll most definitely need additional drain line. Each system comes with anywhere from 12-30” of drain line in each air handler. Most applications will require additional drain line – even if you’re not using a pump. We recommend the inexpensive Diversitech 5/8” line and we offer it in 20’ lengths. We love this drain line because of its unique no-kink design and large diameter – also you can easily cut it down to size, or buy multiples and couple them together; very user friendly. Recommended quantity varies based on application. |
|
Mini Split Complete Care Kit |
OTHER – This Mini Split Care Kit is the perfect set to keep your system running cleanly and efficiently. To avoid the buildup of dirt, grime, mold and mildew that can occur over time, this kit will clean, deodorize and disinfect your evaporator, as well as prevent overflows in your drain pan. The simplest way to maintain your system, we recommend using this kit at least once or twice a year. One per system. |
|
DO YOU NEED ANY LINE SET COVERS?
These are a popular item to cover the look of the line set on the exterior of your house. Weather resistant and paintable to match your preference (or keep your HOA happy), making these a perfect add-on to complete the look of your system if you're unable to hide the lineset within the walls.

The REAL DEAL on HVAC/R Warranties
At ComfortUp we pride ourselves on outstanding customer service and superior product knowledge. We take the time to talk to our customers, build relationships and tell them like it is. That's why we're going to tell you that warranties on HVAC/R products stink!
While it sounds great to have 5, 10 or even 12-year coverage, the manufacturer's warranty is there to protect the manufacturer, not the consumer. That's why you'll see that Labor Expenses are NOT covered under the manufacturer's warranty. This shortfall is not specific to Mitsubishi, unfortunately it is an industry standard; parts are covered, labor is not. In the grand scheme of things, parts are cheap and you will pay dearly for labor expenses, even for a "warrantied" repair. This can be extremely frustrating in the midst of dealing with a system failure.
Why are we telling you this? Don't get us wrong, EVERY maunfacturer we carry makes a great product and 99.9% of the time, the systems work flawlessly when installed properly by a state-licensed HVAC/R Contractor. However, these are man-made products and while a system failure is not anticipated, they do sometimes happen.
We want you to love and enjoy your Mini Split. That starts with getting a great price from ComfortUp, having it quickly shipped right to your location, and then having it properly installed by a state-licensed HVAC/R Contractor. To go a step further, ComfortUp offers Extended Product Warranties. Have peace-of-mind with 3, 5, 7 or 10-year Extended Warranty options. With no deductibles, you can rest assured that once your Extended Warranty is registered, you are covered for no further out-of-pocket expenses if a system failure should occur within your selected coverage period.
