R454b isn't super expensive (plus these units use such a TINY charge the qty doesn't matter at price per pound) but it is hard to get right now. Not the actual refrigerant but in the disposable cylinders used in the field; there is a tiny safety device used on the refrigerant cylinders which is in short supply. Without that relief valve, they cannot make the containers thus package the refrigerant. Companies that are buying 125lb tanks of refrigerant have zero issue getting the refrigerant and are selling r454b at normal prices. Soon none of this will be an issue when supply catches up to demand.

And like mitsured said....later R410A will be expensive as well.

Garvee support confirmed that this unit (and the 24k BTU I bought) come precharged (not lineset).

By the time you need refrigerant 410 will probably be as well.

If you really want to DIY, you need to learn a little bit about Hvac and Electrical. If you are handy, you can do it but you will probably need to buy some equipment. It's a lot cheaper than hiring someone. You should watch some youtube videos to see if you can do it.

Also the 115 V units often plug into an outlet, but the rest of the install is still tricky. Otherwise, just buy a window unit, that's a lot easier.

The HVAC part is not too difficult.


It's the electrical part where you need a dedicated outside unplug and a dedicated breaker from the panel and run all the wires… PITA

Does anyone know if this unit comes pre charged? most just need a vacuum and open up the valves. killer deal if so. if not getting the refrigerant is annoying.
All modern mini splits come pre charged. The difference is some of the linesets are filled with nitrogen and don't need to be vacuumed out. But either way you will want to vacuum them and see if it holds a vac for X amount of minutes as a way of testing for leaks.

It's a disconnect, usually required by code for safety.

And yeah, don't go thinking the 115v are plug and play. I mean, that does eliminate a piece of the work, but its not like you plug it in and relax. Gotta mount it, drill hole through wall, mount outside unit, properly torque outside flared connections, and pressure test and vacuum check. I mean its highly doable, but there is work involved, especially for your first one.

I have 240v wall heaters in each room. Would I simply be able to reroute one of the 240 romex to a disconnect and run the unit off that?

Don't believe the BS. The same cylinders are use for R32 and there's no shortage and many manufacturers went that route. The manufacturers got first dibs on the supply and the excuse they didn't know this would happen is also BS. When you're forced to no longer sell a refrigerant what did they think would happen? Political discussions aren't aloud on here but you all can research and see what happened.

I wish dear leader would just bring back r410a. All these different refrigerant types are annoying. I would only buy a new minisplit with r32.

How do you install these in an apartment? Do you have to get permissions?
You don't. Requires 220v electrical wiring AND you have to punch through a wall to run the line to the outside unit.

Just get a window unit. Plug and play.

If there are restrictions against window units, you can get a standalone unit. Here is one for $200. You still have to vent the hot air out of a window. But it doesn't stick out like a window unit does. You'll also need a bucket or something to collect the water runoff. Some of these have removeable tanks you can just empty every now and then, this one seems to have drainage tubes so the water has to go somewhere.

These aren't very pleasing to look at but they work. Buddy of mine's house had a bedrorom upstairs over the garage and it got stupidly hot in that room. HOA would not allow window units. He got something similar to the one I linked and it made the room livable.

I bought the 12000 BTU (1 ton) of this. Installed it last weekend and it works great. Hope it lasts a long time. It's a rebadged AUX unit based on the remote control.
I've almost pulled the trigger a few times but I need 2 small bedrooms covered, I didn't want 2 compressors hanging on the side, I wonder how cost effective it would be to purchase a second vent and add it to the loop

"Don't believe the BS..."

I work in HVAC wholesale...therefore probably know a little more about this topic than you. But since you want to turn this into a "political discussion"...you most likely won't care to much about facts and proof. No amount of "research" will convince you away from which narrative you choose to believe.

https://rses.org/news/701734/Wort...ortage.htm

But hey, what does Chemours know, they only manufacturer the stuff Wink

P.S. This supply / demand nonsense happens every time someone decides a refrigerant (or anything else for that matter) is bad for one reason* or another; R12, R134A, R22, R410A...plus many others, and it will happen to the A2L gases as well. But please tell us how this is (insert single random politician's name) fault.

*many times pushed by refrigerant manufacturers themselves

I was messing with that the other day. It's good for the "new refrigerant" listed ones.
This code works for the 9,000 BTU units linked but I have been unable to get it to apply to any other inverter types. I'd love getting a 12,000 at a similar discount but it doesn't seem to apply? What did you have it work on?

This is one of my issues, on top of the cost of course. I have to get HOA approval for a mini split AC in my garage, I can't do a window unit because there is no window in my garage, and "making a window" is a major work, and HOA won't allow for sure. Assuming HOA approved, cost is a problem too. The mini split is required a dedicated power disconnect outside and a dedicated breaker inside the main panel, HOA and/or city will inspect, which is a major cost, and of course you have to do all the HVAC and installation of both inside and outside units, which can be DYI pretty straight forward.

I am thinking just get a dual hose portable AC unit, with heat pump (for winter), and make a small vent in the wall, much easier to DYI and to cover and nobody will even know. There are not many reviews yet, but they say these are very efficient:

https://www.costco.com/.product.4...4a0a82b824

https://www.samsclub.com/p/midea-.../P03016427

Not sure how these portable unit VS a mini split, I would be happy if they can be as ~80% vs a mini split from performance and cost standpoints.

If only I can find a plug and play mini split system, meaning you can just plug the inside unit to a power outlet, this should provide power for the outside unit too, I'll try it instead of a portable AC.
