Dont forget Many chase cards have 10% off of $540.

How often do these pioneer units on deal of the day? Or is this so rare that i should jump on it and hold the units for future installation? Thank you sd. Tu

Max 54 dollars off so will be 658. Seems like a decent price. We have a pool bath and wash room that has an old unit. I can easily replace it but will have to hire someone to do the vaccum.

How is the WYS012GMFI22RL (122) different from the WYS012GMFI20RL (120)? Thank you. Are these pioneers best models?

We've successfully installed 3 Senville units. How does the Pioneer unit compare to Senville in terms of
- ease of installation
- durability
?

Thanks!

I have purchased and installed multiple Pioneer units from eBay seller HIGHSEER which I suspect is also the seller of these items on home depot.

The pioneer units are great. They are nearly identical to other pre-charged mini splits so I suspect that they are all made in the same factory.

Installation is easy if you are a DIY'er enough to know how to drill a hole all the way through an exterior wall and how to handle wiring up basic 220v electrical. I imagine that the cost to have a pro install would be $500-$1000 depending on your area.

My oldest Pioneer unit has been running for 7 years and started to not cool as much. I had an HVAC guy come out and he said it was low on refrigerant and added some. I would suspect that my DIY install resulted in a minor slow leak somewhere but otherwise my units have all run great without issue. We use them in outbuildings on our large property.

There are multiple versions / editions of wifi controllers available for these units, the latest ones which use the Midea Air app seem to be the best. You can get parts and controllers on Amazon or Highseer eBay.

Install a line hider as you do the initial install or you'll find it's a pain to do later. Also don't forget when measuring your line length that you need to go through the wall and have extra to tuck in around the indoor and outdoor units; a 16' line set should be enough for anything on a standard house as long as the outdoor unit is on the other side of the wall as the indoor unit. You can shorten the line if needed.

You'll need a vacuum pump and an adapter. Adapter can be found on Amazon (forgive me I forgot the size but I want to say 5/16?) and vacuum pump can be rented or borrowed from an auto parts store for free or cheap.

The units come pre charged with refrigerant (Freon or whatever you call it locally). After you connect the indoor and outdoor unit with the supplied line and it's all tight, you attach a vacuum pump to a little service port on the outdoor unit and run it to basically draw out any moisture or air in the line. Run it for 4x as long as the install manual tells you to.

After that you unhook the vacuum pump, turn a valve which releases the stored refrigerant inside of the outdoor unit into the line, and you're ready to go.

These things rule

I have had my pioneer (I think the same model) for 5 about years and have moved it once and recharged it some before the winter all working fine through this winter and last summer. Pretty easy to install if you have the tools. (Vacuum pump and gauges) You tube has many videos.

Looks like Pioneer has a solution for pulling a vacuum on these units, and it is cheap.

I have not tried it. I don't know if this evacuated can has the volume to pull the correct vacuum on this line set or not. Just found it interesting that is is something HD recommends for the purchase.

https://www.homedepot.com/p/Pione.../314537728

The Mr Cool DIY system I installed a couple years ago was extremely simple, the lines on those a systems come with the vacuum already pulled, opening the valve pierces the end and allow the freon to charge the line.. (Provided you can cut a hole through the wall and wire a dedicated 220v circuit.)
