ComfortUp strongly recommends that you have a qualified HVAC/R professional perform a Manual J Calculation to determine exactly what system is right for you.

Information such as the current system location, attic, crawl space, basement and fuel source must be known to select the proper equipment for your application. An analysis of heat loss and gain must be performed on the residence to determine how much heat the home gains or loses during each hour of the day. Items such as window surface area, window type, shingle colors, siding color, insulation value, and overall cubic feet of the residence affect the heat loss and gain of the residence.

BTU ratings are estimates only, based on 8-9 ft ceilings, with great insulation and windows. Some factors may alter this calculation: lack of insulation, heavy sun exposure, excessively hot regions, and tall ceilings.

6,000 BTU 150 - 300 ft
9,000 BTU 300 - 500 ft
12,000 BTU 400 - 650 ft
15,000 BTU 500 - 800 ft
18,000 BTU 600 - 1,000 ft
24,000 BTU 800 - 1,300 ft
30,000 BTU 1,000 - 1,650 ft
36,000 BTU 1,200 - 2,000 ft
42,000 BTU 1,400 - 2,300 ft
48,000 BTU 1,600 - 2,650 ft
56,000 BTU 1,850 - 3,100 ft

Make sure you install a unit that is going to properly heat/cool your square footage. An over-sized air conditioner is actually less effective and wastes energy at the same time. Air conditioners remove both heat and humidity from the air. If the unit is too large, it will cool the room quickly, but only remove some of the humidity. This leaves the room with a damp, clammy feeling. A properly sized unit will remove humidity effectively as it cools in a consistent manner. 

Each of our systems include the outdoor condenser, the indoor air handler(s) and typically the necessary remote(s). Each mini split system will require a line set to connect each handler to the condenser. Size requirements vary by system. You may also want to consider a few accessories, such as the following:

Surge protector
Condenser pad or bracket
Wall sleeve
Extra drain line

Your installer will typically supply necessary wiring needed to connect the condenser to your home’s electrical supply. There may or may not be additional accessories needed based on your specific application – your installer can make the appropriate recommendations.

ComfortUp strives to keep all items that you see on our web site in stock and ready to ship.

However, if you are looking for a cooling and heating product that you do not see on the site or if you’re interested in a product that happens to be listed on the web site as out of stock, then please contact us.

We have access to tens of thousands of products from many popular brands that are not cataloged on ComfortUp.com, and our Customer Care team may be able to source the product for your convenience.

ComfortUp is the leader of online Mini Split retailers.  We pride ourselves on offering great products at great prices.  We regularly have sales running, and our prices are hard to beat.  If you're ordering three or more systems or you are a recurrent customer, we'd be happy to work up a custom quote for you to get you better pricing. Please call our Customer Care Agents at 855-337-0001 to go through the details of your project and a quote can be emailed to you. For your convenience, you can add those items to your cart right from that email and check out on site.

High efficiency HVAC is “a win” for many stakeholders including you, the homeowner.  As you reduce your monthly energy consumption, dramatically fewer Green House Gases are released into the atmosphere, and our country as a whole reduces our dependence on foreign energy.

That’s why various parties want to help make your purchase of high-efficiency air conditioner and heater even easier, and by that we mean cheaper!  It’s not uncommon for governmental tax incentives or utility rebates to be available on high-efficiency heating/cooling products.  Additionally, sometimes you can even find extremely attractive financing offers and loans to homeowners who purchase high-efficiency HVAC systems.  Offers vary greatly depending on location and product type, but our team has a few tools available to search and see what might be available to you. Please contact us via phone, chat or email for more assistance.

Enjoy saving money!

ComfortUp ships to any location in the continental US.  While we do not offer shipping directly to Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada, we are happy to ship to a freight forwarder of your choice on the west coast, or the northern border for you to arrange the details of getting your order to the final destination. Our freight LTL shipping currently does not include inside delivery.
Our “Free Shipping” promotion applies to residential or business curbside delivery only within the 48 contiguous states. Our current “Free Shipping” promotion is for orders over $399.

We process and ship orders Monday through Friday. Orders placed by 12 pm EST Monday through Friday are normally shipped within 1 business day. Items ordered on weekends (Saturday or Sunday) or national holidays start to process and ship as early as the following business day. Shipping transit time begins once your order leaves our warehouse.

Transit time from our warehouse to your shipping address is dependent on your proximity to our warehouse.

Freight deliveries will be routed to your shipping address through a local hub in your area. A representative of the freight company will contact you in order to schedule the actual date and time to deliver the order to your shipping address.

ComfortUp only ships items within the 48 contiguous US states. If you need to ship outside this area, you can make arrangements with 3rd party companies to handle the remaining portion. We do have many Canadian customers that we work with – we ship for free to a US address near the border (at the customer’s request) and the customer arranges transportation across the border and to the final destination. NOTE: Any customs fees or taxes due will need to be paid as your product is being “imported” into Canada.

ComfortUp ships to most any location within the continental United States. Please note, shipments of our ductless mini-split systems OUTSIDE the 48 contiguous states may be arranged with a third party freight forwarding company (if available) for an additional fee. Please feel free to contact our customer care team for more information.

When purchasing a product that can be parcel shipped - different shipping options will be displayed at checkout including UPS Ground, UPS 2-day and UPS Next Day Air.  You're welcome to select whichever option works for you.  PLEASE NOTE: that parcel items eligible for FREE SHIPPING (orders over $399) are sent via UPS Ground.  For expedited shipping, you may pay the additional fee at checkout. 

Mini Split systems are NOT eligible to be shipped via parcel shipments - these systems are sent via LTL Carrier due to their weight and the fact that they contain refrigerant.  While there is no option to "expedite" shipment on these shipments, we do offer the option to Expedite your Order Processing.  At checkout, you will see an option for "Expedited Order Processing" for a $50.00 fee.  By selecting “Expedited Order Processing,” we immediately move your order to the top of the queue. When your order is placed before noon, Same Day Shipping is initiated; otherwise, “First-Out Shipping” is arranged for the next business day.  If you're in a hurry to receive your product, we recommend you select this option, especially during peak season (February-October).

As a service to its customers, ComfortUp will hold shipments at our warehouse for up to 30 days. ComfortUp will then ship on a specified day determined by you. If your 30 days expire before we are notified to ship, our Customer Care team will contact you to arrange shipment or cancel your order.

Typically, from the time your order is placed to the time you receive your shipment, it will be 6 days or less (within the 48 contiguous states). Any delay in shipment or transit will be communicated to you by ComfortUp Customer Care. Shipping transit times are not guaranteed and may vary depending on your delivery address.

We recommend that you not schedule your installation/replacement with your HVAC installer until you have received your shipment, in order to avoid any possible charges from your contractor associated with delays. ComfortUp is not utilizing its own delivery trucks; shipping delays by the third party freight or ground carriers may occur and are unfortunately out of our control.

Here’s where our Customer Service kicks into high gear.

To help reassure you that Your Total Satisfaction is always foremost in our mind, we want you to be happy, at every stage of the purchasing process. And that means right up to the moment when you have your bright, sleek, shiny new (and let’s not forget, incredibly efficient) system in hand. We’ll walk you through the process right up to and through the moment your product arrives.First, as soon as your online purchase is approved, that order moves into fulfillment and logistics. Our stocking warehouse is notified, and tasked to assemble all included ordered items. Depending on where in the country the order is to ship, logistics coordinates LTL pick-up, routing, and modes of transport (truck, rail, ship, or air). Trusted, reliable LTL carriers carefully handle and move your purchase to the nearest destination terminal… ideally, in the shortest time possible.

The carrier who handles the final site delivery will notify you that the product is ready to be received at your end, sets up an appointment to do so, as it’s requiredthat someone must be there to accept, sign for, and inspect the shipment. Once final details are set, your purchase is delivered as coordinated.

At that point, before you sign that you accept the order, it becomes your responsibility to inspect everything that comes with the order. Feel free to open every box. Pay special attention if you find any visible damage to any container. Carefully inspect all parts of the system to verify that appear to be undamaged. Assuming you find at all is in order, sign off on the bill of lading, and your order is now in your possession.

If you do find any item(s) to have damage, you can refuse delivery on that item (not necessarily the entire order). Note your acceptance of the undamaged component(s) as well as the refusal of a damaged component(s) on the bill of lading. At that point, that damaged portion of the order will go back on the truck, to be returned to us for replacement.

Please do contact ComfortUp Customer Service at the earliest opportunity to review the situation, and arrange a replacement shipment. It’s best to handle this type of incident by phone, at 855-337-0001.

Please understand that, while we don’t anticipate damage shipments, they still do happen on rare occasions. Rest assured, that we do everything within our power to rectify the situation, in the most expedient manner possible. Again, our goal is your complete customer satisfaction, both with the product AND with our service.

Once your order arrives, make certain to inspect each and every item on the pallet. Count the number of items (boxes) on the shipment.  Make sure that your count matches the count printed on the delivery receipt before signing for your delivery.

Missing items or incorrect items that were noted on the delivery receipt must be reported within 24 hours of receiving your order by contacting ComfortUp CustomerCare. We reserve the right to reject any claim for a missing item if not reported by the customer within the twenty-four hour period after delivery.After counting the items in your shipment, remove wrapping or boxes and inspect each item of equipment thoroughly in the front of the driver.  Check all of the equipment to make sure it is not dented or heavily scratched.  Make sure to mark the delivery receipt "clear," "short," "wrap broken" or "damaged" (whichever is applicable) after inspecting your shipment thoroughly.  Do not sign the delivery receipt until you have thoroughly inspected each item.

If You Need To Cancel Your Order

Please ensure that the product you order is the right one for your needs, in order to avoid any costly errors associated with shipping or returning the wrong product. If you have any questions about selecting the proper equipment for your application, we encourage you to contact a local licensed HVAC/R contractor.

PRIOR TO SHIPPING

You may cancel your order prior to the shipment of your purchase. To cancel your order, please contact our Customer Care Department.

Note that there will be NO CHARGE if you cancel your order prior to shipping.

AFTER SHIPPING
If your order has shipped but has not been delivered, you may request that a ComfortUp Customer Care representative contact the freight carrier in an effort to stop the delivery and bring the order back to a ComfortUp warehouse.

This option is very costly, due to the fact that there will be two charges imposed: (1) the outgoing shipping charges and (2) the inbound shipping charges.

You, the customer, are responsible for these charges plus a 15% restocking fee which will be deducted from your refund.

Once the order is cancelled, credit for the items may take as long as 30 business days to be refunded to your credit card.

In some instances, you may need some help with a return. No worries; the following information will help you process your return.

STARTING YOUR RETURN

To start your return with ComfortUp, go to this page:  https://comfortup.myreturnscenter.com/

If you do not know your order number, please contact our Customer Care Department via Live Chat, E-mail (customercare@comfortup.com) or by phone (855-337-0001).

WHAT TO EXPECT

After our team has processed your Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA), you will receive an email from our Customer Care Department containing your RMA number within 1-3 business days. We will specify the address to ship your product(s) back to and with instructions on how to properly package your return.

When the return is received at our warehouse, it is opened and inspected to make sure the proper products have been received and that everything is in resalable condition with no marks on the box. Due to the inspection process and shipping times, please allow 10 business days for your credit to be applied after your return is received.

RETURNING MERCHANDISE

You may return any new and unused products within 30 days of delivery**. All returns must be in salable condition with original materials and packing.

Unused products with their original packaging can be returned within 30 days** of delivery, but will be subject to a 15% restocking fee to cover testing, cleaning, repackaging and other expenses. Used products or products that have been installed are NOT eligible for return. Opened returns must be in good salable condition with original materials and all included packaging. Clear pictures of all items will be requested and verified prior to authorizing the return. Pictures will need to be sent to CustomerCare@ComfortUp.com.

The purchaser is responsible for the cost of returned shipping. All returns associated with our "Free Shipping" offer will have the original shipping fees that ComfortUp incurred in the process of shipping your order deducted from the refund. For all other orders not associated with our "Free Shipping" offer, original shipping charges are non-refundable.

CANCELLED ORDERS

An order that has shipped cannot be cancelled. If you refuse an order which has already been shipped, you will be responsible for both the outbound and return shipping costs. If your order is canceled before it is shipped, then a full refund will be processed. 

DEFECTIVE PRODUCTS

We encourage you to test your product within 15 days of receipt so we can quickly remedy any mechanical problems. If you think your product is defective, don't worry.

In most cases, it's a simple issue that can be resolved over the phone. You are also welcome to contact the manufacturer's customer service departments. They have expert technicians standing by to help solve your issue. Please have your model number and serial number available for fastest service.

** Returning an item, after 30 days of delivery, is at the sole discretion of ComfortUp. To be considered, items must be in new, salable condition and may be subject to a restocking fee up to 35%.

To receive a refund, please make sure of the following:

All returned merchandise must be in resalable condition.  The product must be free from damages, scratches and/or defects.  All merchandise cannot have been installed (once installed, any issues must go through the manufacturer’s warranty).  You must have the original manufacturer packaging for the item (manuals, accessories, packaging materials).  There cannot be any writing or labels on the original manufacturer packaging for the item.  Packages MUST be sent back by the delivery method they were delivered (UPS or LTL).  All items must be returned with an assigned Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number.

INSTALLED ITEMS

Once an item has been installed it cannot be returned. Any damage due to improper installation is the responsibility of you or your installer. A warranty claim can be made, but it is up to the discretion of the manufacturer if they will cover any costs associated with an incorrect installation.

DAMAGED PRODUCTS

You must take the time to inspect the goods before you sign the delivery receipt from the carrier. If you sign the delivery receipt without inspecting the shipment you will be responsible for filing a freight claim and arranging for a repair or return of the damaged goods. Concealed damage claims must be reported immediately.

Suspect Damage
On occasion, the outer carton may look damaged, but the product inside the box is perfectly fine. If you suspect concealed damage, notate "Possible Freight Damage" on the delivery receipt while the driver is present. This way, if you discover later that the product is damaged, the remedy of a freight claim is less of a hassle.

Obvious Damage
Do not sign for damaged products. If your product arrives damaged, please (a) REFUSE DELIVERY and (b) Call Us Immediately so we can process the appropriate claims and coordinate an exchange for you.

ComfortUp strongly recommends that you have a licensed contractor install your mini-split system.

Your new cooling and heating system will only perform at optimal efficiency, comfort and safety levels if it is well installed.  In fact, an improperly installed system could reduce the system’s efficiency by as much as 50%.  In addition, any applicable warranties will only be valid if properly installed by a licensed contractor.  

First — definitely check with friends and family, neighbors, co-workers, social media local contacts, and people within your ‘network / circle of influence’ who may have had similar work done, or my know someone they know and trust who has. Ask for honest appraisals of their experiences. Some of the really key questions to ask might be —

What similar project did they handle for you? Did they complete it within the projected time frame? How were they to work with? Did they show up on time? Did they clean up after themselves? Did they keep open communication throughout the project?If the actual project was similar to what yours is expected to be, how were they in pricing? Did you feel their bid was fair and accurate? Did they hold to their bid? Were there any unexpected surprises, or unexplained charges? If they ran into unanticipated snags, did they quickly advise you of the issue(s), and accurately project the added cost?Is installer knowledgeable w/regard to required permits, local regulations, etc. that should be part of their typical responsibility.Perhaps the best question to ask is, would you hire them again?

From those interviews, you should get leads for a fair number of installer contractors, and you may learn of a few who you do not want to use.

Next — look at online reviews and ratings, from (for example) respected sources such as ACDoctor.com, AngiesList.com, ThisOldHouse.com, HomeAdvisor.com, ContractorConnection.com, Yelp.com… and so many more. Not to mention, the manufacturer whose system you’re planning to buy likely has a “Find an Installer” link, which typically is an ideal and generally reliable resource for exactly the type pf project you need to accomplish.

Most, if not, all, of these sites have a methodical, step-wise process that literally walks you through your project, to provide potential installers with excellent detail that you provide as to the nature and scope of the project, so they can reach out to you to talk over details, come out and review your situation, make assessments they’ll need regarding all the steps they’ll need to perform and services they’ll need to provide, in order to bid your project and propose a timeline for the work.

To assist you in providing an accurate description of the project for which you’re requesting a bid, the following 2-paragraph block can be cut-n-pasted into the appropriate form field:

Project Description — is to install a pre-purchased GREE Crown 12,000 btu/H mini split high performance ductless ac/heat pump system into an existing ranch style open floor plan home. System will have all install parts and line set(s), including base bracket mount, or base pad.

“Licensed contractor will need to show certifications for HVAC piping and electrical work, and handling of R410A refrigerant. Must also provide names & contact phone numbers of up to 3 referral customers whom project coordinator (homeowner) will contact for additional information and satisfaction level with services provided by contractor.”

For this example, we’ve inserted GREE as the manufacturer; we’ve mentioned CROWN as the anticipated model of mini split we want to have installed; and we’ve noted 12,000 btu/H as the system capacity. In these areas, replace those items with your Make / Model / Capacity. Also, we have used the term "ranch style open floor plan home" where you would put a more accurate description of your application location.

Next — definitely ask for referrals from the installers who are bidding your install; then actually call two or three of them. Briefly introduce yourself, tell them that (so-and-so) contractor listed them as a referral; and ask for just a few minutes of their time. Ask them to candidly share their sense of how the contractor served them, and how satisfied whey were with the work, the cost, the service, the contractor’s time line, etc. Do try to keep it brief; Be sure to thank them at the end of the call.

Once you do have bids in hand, be sure to read their Terms & Conditions carefully; if you have any questions, ask the installer BEFORE signing the bid, talk out your concerns so that both you and your installer are ‘on the same page.’

Finally — take into account ALL the relevant factors — not simply price — when making your decision. If you really feel good about contractor “B” but have a considerably better bid from contractor “A” or “C” be smart enough to talk with “B” and let him/her that you feel most comfortable with them, but you do have to consider the contrast in price; can they show any flexibility? Oftentimes they will be willing to make an adjustment…. And if they’re unwilling to compromise even a little bit, then it might be better to approach one of your alternate bidders.

In Summary… you’re committed to making a positive change in your personal environmental comfort for yourself and your family. You have a good handle on the upfront investment for the system and the components necessary to do a full installation. In order to validate the system warranty (which based on today’s more advanced technology) is typically 5-, 7- 10-years or even more, you need the install done by a licensed contractor. It’s all part-and-parcel’ of the overall equation and a sound investment that will pay off handsomely over the entire life of the system.

Follow the process to secure the best possible result for you and your family. You’ll be thankful you did in the long run.

At this time, ComfortUp does not technically have its own network of installers.  

We do recommend that you talk to an installer prior to your purchase.  This will help you properly select the right size system, as well as get a decent ballpark figure of exactly what your installation fees will be.  Pre-purchase, we suggest the following resources in order to find a qualified installer:
