Air conditioning+ heating that runs on sunshine.
Solar panels plug straight into an Airspool — no batteries, no inverter, no electrician. It always runs on solar first, drawing from the grid only to cover what the sun doesn't. Sun or clouds, day or night, your comfort never changes. And you install it with a drill.
01The idea
No batteries. No inverter. No electrician.
Most “solar air conditioning” is a science project. The AC is the cheap part — then comes the inverter, the battery bank, the charge controller, the electrician, and a net-metering agreement with your utility. Add it all up, and the pile around the AC usually costs more than the AC.
An Airspool skips the whole pile. Its motors run on DC — the same power solar panels make — so panels plug directly into the unit. About 1,500 watts (usually 3–4 panels) runs a 12k unit, and they can sit on the ground, a patio, or a shed roof. No panels yet? It runs on a normal outlet from day one.
02The install
If you have a drill, you can install an Airspool unit yourself.
The refrigerant lines arrive pre-charged and sealed. You twist the connections together by hand — no vacuum pump, no gauges, no HVAC tech.
Twist. Push. Snap. The whole connection, in 40 seconds.
The refrigerant connection itself — hand-tightened, self-sealing twist valves. The hard part happens in our shop, not on your wall.
A typical first-timer's full install: mount the bracket, drill one pass-through hole, route the lines, twist, plug in.
You supply a drill. The hole saw, bits, level, gloves, and all mounting hardware ship in the box — and DIY install doesn't void the guarantee. It's how the product is meant to go in.
“It took me about 45 minutes to install this unit. Super easy and easy to read instructions.”

06Straight answers
The questions everyone asks first.
How much will I save on my electricity bill?
That depends on your climate and electricity rates, but Airspool customers typically see 50-80% reduction in cooling-related electricity costs during sunny months. Some customers report spending under $50 per year. Air conditioning is 50-70% of most summer electricity bills, and with solar, you are targeting that biggest expense directly.
How many solar panels do I need?
For 12,000 BTU units, plan on about 1,500 watts, which is roughly 3-4 panels. For 24,000 BTU units, plan on about 3,000 watts, which is roughly 6-8 panels. For the 36,000 BTU MU36, plan on about 4,500 watts. Panels can go on the ground, a patio, or a shed roof. They do not need to be on your house roof.
Do I need solar panels to use Airspool?
No. Every Airspool unit works perfectly on grid power alone right out of the box. You can add solar panels whenever you are ready, whether that is a day, a month, or a year later. Many customers start on grid and add solar when the timing is right.
Can I really install this myself?
Yes, even with zero HVAC experience. Our Quick ’n’ EasyTM system uses pre-charged, twist-to-connect refrigerant lines. No vacuum pump, no gauges, and no specialized tools. You just need a drill. We include everything else: hole saw, drill bits, level, gloves, and all hardware. Most people finish in 2-5 hours.
