GarveeHome's 12,000 BTU 115V mini split is a budget heat pump that cools and heats well, runs quietly, and can be a big efficiency upgrade over window or portable units. The app adds WiFi control, silent mode, and power-limit settings, though the WiFi setup can be finicky and the app is cloud-based. The main tradeoffs are installation and electrical work, since the lines must be evacuated before release, the unit may need a dedicated circuit, and the included line set is short. It is a strong value if you are comfortable handling the install or paying for it.

Common Questions (5)

  • It needs a vacuum pump to evacuate the lines before releasing the pre-charged refrigerant. The line set is reported as pre-flared, so flaring tools usually aren't needed, but a vacuum pump and 410A adapters are commonly mentioned as the key special tools.

  • It should be on a dedicated circuit, and some reports say the nameplate calls for 19.4A minimum circuit ampacity with a 30A max fuse size, which can mean 12-gauge wire and at least a 20A breaker. For 220V installs, two breaker slots are needed; for 115V, verify the circuit matches the unit's rating.

  • It is a heat pump, so it provides heat as well as cooling. Real-world reports say it can heat a basement or garage well, even down near 0°F in some setups, but standard units may struggle below about 25°F and colder climates may need a cold-climate model.

  • Yes, if you already have hands-on electrical/mechanical experience; first-timers with little experience are warned off. The hardest parts reported are drilling the wall correctly, keeping the line-set cover straight without kinking copper, and handling the electrical circuit safely.

  • The unit does not include Wi‑Fi on this listing. App control may still be possible on some Garvee units, but this specific deal is called out as lacking Wi‑Fi, so silent mode and power-limit features may not be available from the remote alone.

Based on the reviews and technical information I could find, I'd describe the GarveeHome 12,000 BTU 115V 19 SEER2 mini split as a decent budget unit, but not one I'd buy if long-term reliability is your top priority.

Customer reviews

The feedback is mixed:

Positives

* Cools and heats well for most owners.
* Quiet indoor unit.
* Good efficiency (19 SEER2).
* Attractive price—often several hundred dollars less than established brands.

Negatives

* Multiple reports of shipping damage (dented condensers/cabinets).
* A handful of reports of early failures (days to a couple of months).
* Customer service appears to be inconsistent compared with brands like Mitsubishi Electric, Fujitsu, Gree, or Pioneer.

Anything but Mr. Cool requires you to have the HVAC tools, which will run you around $1k for everything. From what I've read up on, it's worth it if you're planning on doing a lot of installs. For a one off, it's a big investment (still cheaper than hiring someone), but it will run you around the same as a Mr. Cool and you'll just have a lot of tools sitting around afterwards. The big gotcha is that most of these companies don't offer warranties to DIY installs and most HVAC companies won't want to service them. Warranty coverage usually requires at least the line vacuum and refrigerant release to be done by someone who's licensed. I've heard of some people getting by it with an EPA 608 certification, but it's inconsistent.
While Mr Cool is just that, I think what you are looking for is just precharged units

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...

These are considerably more efficient, both in functionality as well as cost, than window units

I have a 18k 230v garvee. was $599 on amazon.

install was pretty easy, just need a vacuum pump. the wifi app is literally useless so dont worry about having that feature.

It depends on several things. How many panels? How big are the panels? Do you have a charge controller? Do you have a battery and a good pure sine power inverter? Not to mention wiring. Or you might be talking about a DC mini split unit, which are more expensive. It might be easier, cheaper, and safer to hire someone

I've installed several and the last two have been going for 4 years without requiring any refrigerant or service. At a minimum you need a good vacuum pump and vacuum gauge. I would recommend a nitrogen pressure test if you're doing heating since the operating pressures are much higher. It seems easy to install but micro leaks can drain your refrigerant over 2-3 years easily and/or break the compressor if not perfect. Most people will then blame the manufacturer instead of themselves at that point.

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.
You should be able to debt pumps at auto part stores for free. Adapters probably aren't included though.
