This isn't a system designed for consumer install. While it is possible to do with the right equipment (I've installed two splits with no prior HVAC experience, although I did do a lot of reading; this was pre-Youtube), it's not for someone who doesn't understand how these systems work. If you're purchasing with the intent of having a pro install it, you should probably line someone up first; many HVAC companies and contractors will not install systems that they did not provide themselves.

so, you've installed 2 splits about 20 years ago? things have changed quite a bit since then. I have installed multiple minisplits and it can be done by your average handyman if they pay attention and watch relevant YouTube videos. They sell also flushing kits for the lines.

Yup, I just installed my first one earlier this month. I feel like the youtube videos didn't prepare me for how much of a PITA going through a brick wall was going to be, but overall it's a fairly doable process. You just have to purchase about $300-400 of extra tools/supplies to make it all work, but WAY cheaper than hiring it done.
Random question: what kind of electric does this require? I'd like to replace a single zone with a multi zone for upstairs bedrooms, not sure if the electric can handle it.
Random question: what kind of electric does this require? I'd like to replace a single zone with a multi zone for upstairs bedrooms, not sure if the electric can handle it.
It is a valid question, though. It does come with linesets (you just have scroll through the pics on the page to see this) but it doesn't say how long they are.
One other thing I'm confused about is that the title says this is a 2.5 ton (30,000 BTU) main unit, but you can get it with indoor units with all sorts of different BTU ratings. How does that work? None of them actually total to 30,000 BTU.

Some length of the lines:
Copper Pipe: 6ft, Signal Line: 13ft, Power Line: 6.5ft
The 30,000BTU refers to the outdoor unit, which represents the maximum cooling capacity that the entire air conditioning system can provide. Each indoor unit usually has a different BTU, and these should add up to less than or equal to the total BTU of the outside unit. The size of the inside unit will be matched to the size of the room and the amount of cooling needed. For example, a larger room may require an inside unit with a higher BTU value, while a smaller room may only require an inside unit with a lower BTU value--In summary: the outdoor unit provides the total cooling capacity, while the indoor units distribute the cooling capacity.
I don't think it's possible to run lines from the main unit to three different rooms with only 6 feet per lineset. You'd need to buy longer linesets separately, which would require more refrigerant; something outside the ability of almost all homeowners (because you can't just walk into a store and purchase refrigerant without a license).

Copper lines can be found as anywhere, even local big box stores will carry, or look online for lower cost options.
Autozone will rent vacuum pump, gauges, and flaring tools for those who need, but I suggest buying a ecentric rolling type flaring tool will make for better seal. Might need to buy a 5/16" adapter for the gauge since most will be 1/4" or the acme style.
Refigerant, if it's R32 like the single zone units from costway it can be acquired through other sources, online, local market places for less than a HVAC store without any hassle. If its 428A then it may depend on your luck, as shortages are ongoing.
There's really no need for a mrcool DIY style kit if one is capable of pulling another electrical circuit from a panel to the unit. The refigeration side requires no more skill, just need to be able to follow directions or look for guidance online when needed.

Rep given for excellent grammar.
