The only "hvac tool" i needed was a harbor freight refrigerant pump and it was $120 with the R410 adapters I needed. The Garvee condenser is pre-charged, the only difference between this and MR cool is that the lines are not pre-charged w/aeroquip easy connect fittings. I did the 220V circuit w/ surge suppressor, rated box myself along with the entire remainder of the install for $900 total including the unit itself.

First timer w alot of mechanical/automotive/electrical experience? Definitely can be a DIY job.
First timer w/little to no experience in hands on mechanical work- Definitely not. Just drilling the hole through the house alone and hitting the wrong area could results in a disaster for you.
I have a TON of plumbing/carpentry/electrical/mechanical experience and the hardest/annoying part for me was getting the lineset cover nice and straight on my house without kinking the copper lines.

220v will require two breaker slots vs 1 with 110v.

You should not be plugging this into an outlet....

Community Reviews

This GarveeHome 12,000 BTU mini split is a budget heat pump that stands out for strong cooling, quiet operation, and lower power use than window or portable units. Real-world installs describe easy DIY setup for handy owners, with precharged condenser refrigerant, preflared lines, and heating that can hold up well in cold weather. The main drawbacks are the lack of WiFi on this model, the need for vacuuming and careful electrical work, and some concern about shipping damage or early failures. It looks like a solid value if you are comfortable with the install.

  • Buyers who need built-in Wi-Fi or app-free control, because silent mode and power-limit settings are app-only and the app can be unreliable.

  • Homes that need a simple plug-in setup, because the unit may need dedicated wiring, breaker slots, and a proper disconnect.

    tasmaniantacomaguy20DAC21reelbusy

  • First-time installers without hands-on experience, because drilling, line handling, and evacuation can go wrong and cause leaks or damage.

  • Shoppers prioritizing long-term reliability and easy service, because reports mention early failures, shipping damage, and inconsistent support.

People are acting like it's not worth it because you can't get them serviced or warrantied without a professional install, please do you think we are dumb? The saving alone means that if anything breaks it's by far cheaper to just get a new unit than pay HVAC companies thousands.
People are stupid. General society most people barely function

Yeah, it's bs. Blue collar guys use to be reasonable but I feel TikTok has made them feel like they're doing us a favor. It's a weird shift.

I was lucky last year when my old mini-split died. I found an AC guy who would install a Home Depot bought unit and also remove the old unit (after recovering the old style Freon into a tank), and did the whole job for around a grand (not counting the AC unit). But other AC guys I had come before were highway robbery, like they were neurosurgeons or something. Get multiple estimates and just keep looking for an affordable AC tech -- they do exist!

I would like to buy a manifold gauge set for this install and maintenance 4 of other conventional systems. Does anyone Any recommendations (SMAN is too expensive for me) ? Are the Elitech models worth buying (eg https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...87K1&psc=1).
You don't need a manifold gauge to pull a vacuum. You need a micron gauge, a vacuum pump, vacuum pump oil and hose, and a core remover at the very least. Don't buy any of these homeowner brand either. Go to a supply house and get some decent tools, and resell it after you're done. There a reason contractors don't buy junk tools.

Labor shortage. Although most HVAC companies aren't going to install a no-name Midea rebrand. They'll generally pick something with US part availability and US support like Gree, Mitsubishi, Daiken (although some of those are also Midea rebrands). Those are 2-3x the price of the generic rebadges. At least the Mitsubishi ones are significantly more efficient in cold temperatures (they maintain their label BTU output where a lot of others drop off a cliff but still "work"). On the other hand, a lot of these no-name Midea rebrands have higher cooling efficiency.

Great price, these look to be a rebranded AUX units.

And this isn't just an air conditioner, it's a heat pump so will warm your house in the winter as well.

Note: a proper quality install for this isn't just hooking up a vacuum pump for 15 minutes and letting it rip. All of these mini splits have a bad reputation for leaking refrigerant over time because critical installation steps were skipped or contaminants including non-condensables or moisture were left in the lineset.

If you want it to last and perform well it needs to be installed correctly.

1. The white line set insulation is known to react with and corrode the copper over time. That white insulation needs to be ripped off and replaced with a proper rubberized UV resistant insulation. I prefer K-Flex armor. Supply House dot com is a great source for it if you can't find it locally. Unlike a traditional system you need to wrap both the vapor (large) and liquid (small) lines in insulation. ~$30

2. Never trust factory flares. Cut to proper length, re-position nut on line, carefully de-burr to not scratch face surface and make sure shavings don't fall down tube, then use orbital flaring tool. Amazon tool: ~$75

3. Apply a light coating of Nylog Blue to flare faces before connecting. Amazon: ~$12

4. Use an adjustable torque wrench to properly tighten flare nuts. Amazon tool: ~$50

5. Triple evac / purge lines with nitrogen. Pressure test on last fill to to at least 350psi and see if it holds for 15m. Local welding supply: $200 for small tank and gas, $35 for Amazon nitrogen regulator & hose set.

6. Use two-stage vacuum pump with fresh oil and proper vac gauge on the opposite side of line. Pump down to under 500 microns, close vac & gauge ports and make sure it holds vacuum for 15 minutes. I pump mine down to under 100 microns. This ensures you've pulled any remaining moisture out of the lines.

7. Only open valve to release refrigerant if you've done all of those things.

Last, the wall units have a filter screen which need to be cleaned every 3-6 months. A lot of people never do that.

Be very aware of the voltage difference. Tried to return this and they wanted me to ship it across the country which would cost more than the unit itself. The company supposedly is 30 minutes from my house...
Thanks for the heads up; that's a deal killer for sure.

Don't you need to flare the lines? That requires a specific tool. A quality flare tool can run in the $150 range.A decent pro level vac will usually run around $300. I guess if you can manage with a harbor freight one, great, but if I'm doing multiple installs I'd probably go for something a bit higher end.I don't see either of the pumps on their website saying it comes with the the gauge and manifold set for R410, which seems to be separate at $200. I've read you can skip the manifold set and just use a vacuum line (still around $100 for a good one) and you'd need a Vacrometer. It's also recommended to get a Schrader valve core removal tool. Those flare nuts should be tightened with a high quality torque wrench. You can manage without it, but it's better to use one. Then having a nitrogen tank with a regulator to purge the lines and test for leaks.All of this stuff adds up. Can you potentially do it without a lot of this stuff? Maybe, but you're also risking leaks and other issues down the line.I've spent a lot of time reading up on this stuff and watching videos of pros doing it. I hope your install lasts long term, but I'd rather spend extra on making sure the job is done as precisely as possible.
My lastComment was deleted evidently. No, the lines are pre flared. Use nylog to help seal each connection you tighten. Measure carefully to ensure you have enough line set length to reach your condenser. Not sure what would go wrong long term you're speaking of? Slow line leak? Big deal even if in a year I needed someone to recharge I still saved a ton of cash doing it all myself. Sorry you don't feel comfortable doing it.

so the lines are not pre-charged? would have to hire a pro to fill them then, right?
No, the condenser is pre charged. No pro needed, just a vacuum pump or rent one from auto parts store and buy the 410A connector.

Code is a dedicated line, at least in California. I know some fly by night mini split installers wire into an existing outlet that is on an exterior wall.
