"I own 3 pioneer's now. Honestly, for the price, it beats the Mr Cool that is always posted.
Never got the chance to posting the deal either, apologies to anyone.
No I'm not an electrician, nor a HVAC expert.
Regular person who just YT's everything and learn as I go. I did this to save money.
The first pioneer I bought in 17' I think, that was a 12k BTU, much lower SEER than my current ones.
Here's a few pointers and info at a glance:
DIAMANTE series was recently released, aesthetically it looks different, there's a small chart that tells you the difference in the temperatures it can run compared to the other models, it MAY be worth it to look into it, also it comes with 16" line set that can't be changed on the website (you can add or use your own line set to make it longer).
Out of all the models, DIAMANTE series is cheaper.
Second and third bought last year and this year. Both are 12k BTU's and rated at SEER 20 (115v), the 230v drops it down to 19 SEER. This is the DIAMANTE series that I have.
Prices went up by $50 or so dollars since I bought it, probably due to the shortage.
Yes they are made for DIY. Refrigerant is in the compressor (outdoor unit).
Pioneer CONSTANTLY updates their product without mentioning, and IMO, for the better.
My second unit was bought only a few months apart from my third unit.
The condensation line is a different and better quality.
Change in the plastic part that protects the lines inside the wall.
Different anti-vibration pads.
Register your product! It'll give you a 5 year warranty as opposed to 1 year if you don't.
IF you live in Miami, or anywhere near South Florida, go to their warehouse, and pick it up. I made the 2 hour (to and back) to their warehouse and picked it up to save on the delivery charges. Why?
Because Pioneer website COST MORE than their sister website? www.Highseer.co
BOTH websites/companies are the same. And the parent company Parker Davis.
Google PD and their website even has tutorials on taking your minisplit apart or installing it if you need to.
Can't control this through Wi-Fi, but I heard and they promote it on their website, on using the Cielo Breeze AC controller (Amazon it). No experience there but it seems you can control with smart apps/phone as well as a regular thermostat controller.
If you live in a hot area, just leave it on COOL and not Auto. It'll still turn off the outside unit and run when it needs to, but Auto feature sucks, IMO.
Also, hire an electrician if you don't know or can't make the connection, not worth your life.
Tools I invested while l learned back in 17' that I still use today:
5lb R410a refrigerant tank from offerup
Gauge set from Highseer (don't buy automobile gauges)
Pipe cutter from Home Depot
Flare tool from Home Depot
Vacuum pump from Harbor Freight
Adapter from 5/16" SAE to 1/4" SAE (This is a need if you don't have one to connect your gauges to vacuum it)
Proper gloves to mitigate any freeze burns from the refrigerant.
TDLR;
Pioneer is an amazing brand.
5 year warranty on most if not all models now, INCLUDING if you DIY, as long as you register within the timeframe.
Buy at Highseer.com and not Pioneerminisplit.com; same company, same warehouse, same parent company, cheaper.
Go for DIAMANTE series if your okay with 16" line set (and able to run within your temps)
Pickup at warehouse if you live in South Florida.
Wi-Fi module is extra. Look into Cielo Breeze AC Controller"

Alternately, what would be the best guess (I understand there will be a range of costs) for an electrician to install this in an upper story, with the outside unit being at ground level? $200? $500? Any idea? (would get the 120 so no additional wiring I hope).
IMO if your using this just for cooling your better off getting a midea U 12k. Mine only uses 600-800 watts, and cools a 250sq ft room fast.

For heating choices, that is going to depend on electric or gas costs per btu at your location and the efficiency of the unit. The OP is electric. On here, anyone would just be guessing at what is the most cost effective.
You should really have a local professional guide you through the process for your application.
edit: nvm this is 230v so too much hassle to get that installed as well
I think you will find most 110-120v systems will require a dedicate line to carry the required amperage. If I am going to run a dedicated line, a 220-240v unit will typically be more efficient.
With the compressor pre-charged for twice the included line footage and the lines pre-vacuumed, you could probably get by without a vacuum pump, gauges and recovery tank to capture the pre-charge. Otherwise, you will have a service call to make the system perfect.
What is this new system? Link?

1. You get the outside unit, inside unit, 16' line set, wiring between inside and outside unit, wall bracket, wall template, remote, and misc hardware.
2. The line set has a nitrogen charge in it to prevent contamination which bleeds off when you pull the caps off. This is NOT refrigerant. Also, you may very well have to cut the lines and re-flare the ends if the lines are significantly too long. Coiling the excess line is a bad idea.
3. There is a nice template to lay out your inside unit. A bracket is mounted to the wall that the inside unit clips onto. You attach the lines to the inside unit (can be configured to exit right, left, or straight out the back), run the lines and wire thru the wall, and attach the inside unit to the wall.
4. Outside, you either mount the outside unit to a pad or to your wall with brackets (not included). You then attach the the lines and wiring coming from the inside unit.
5. 12/2 wire and a 15 amp breaker (must be it's own circuit, not shared) is appropriate. An outside disconnect at the unit should be used. The inside and outside unit are connected to each other with the provided wire(wires are labeled). The electrical service you provide attaches to the outside unit.
6. You attach your low-side (blue) gauge to the port, attach your pump to the manifold (usually yellow) and pull a vacuum on the lines for about 15 minute.Turn off the valve on the gauge and turn off the pump. Open the 3-way valve for 5 seconds then close it. Leave the gauge attached for 15 minutes or so watching to ensure the gauge doesn't move (this is your leak test, not the vacuum). Open high and low pressure valves completely.
