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.

Common Questions (5)

  • At minimum, commenters mention a vacuum pump, 410A adapters or hoses, and basic hand tools; some also recommend a vacuum gauge, Nylog Blue, and a torque wrench for better flare connections. Several note that the condenser is pre-charged, but the lines still need to be evacuated before refrigerant is released.

  • Yes, it should be wired on a dedicated circuit, and the 115V version still needs the correct breaker and wire size. Comments mention using two breaker slots for 220V models, and one user warns that some 115V units have a surprisingly high minimum circuit ampacity, so checking the nameplate before wiring is important.

  • It is more efficient than a typical window unit and much quieter in the room, while also providing heat because it is a heat pump. The main tradeoff is the install work, but users describe lower power draw, better sealing, and no need to remove it seasonally.

  • It does not appear to include Wi‑Fi on this model. App-based control is mentioned for some Garvee units, but this specific deal is called out as having no Wi‑Fi, so buyers wanting remote scheduling or silent mode from an app should verify the exact version first.

  • For someone with mechanical or electrical experience, it can be a manageable DIY job; first-timers with little hands-on experience may struggle. The hardest parts mentioned are drilling the wall correctly, keeping the line-set cover straight without kinking copper, and handling the vacuum/evacuation steps in the right order.

Boo, no wifi
Deal breaker for me. I have a mini split and use the app to control when headed home and at night to adjust.

watch the MCA on these, i picked up a couple of 9k btu 115v ones, ended up having a 21amp mca which wtf that is insane for a 9k btu but means if doing 115v you'll need 10 gauge wire. This caught me by surprise as i have a current 9k btu with 15amp mca which is fine for 12 gauge i have run there to a small pool house. Decided to go 240v on the others i'm installing as i'm doing wiring from scratch on those. but 21.6mca i have no idea how the heck that is the case but it's on the condenser.

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...
What are you guys referring to here, specifically? I see 115V clearly in the listing so can't identify why the confusion.

Thanks OP. I actually did some research and got the newer 115V 22 SEER2 version for $440 shipped from the Garvee website. It's also WiFi enabled. Put it in your cart and let it sit for an hour to receive a 12% coupon.

That seemed like a better deal to me. Plus, I just don't trust Amazon like I used to. I suspect this is old (pre-2023) stock they're just getting rid of. I bet there's a lot of returns in the batch they're selling as new too.

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.
Instead of paying for an installer in my home I took a college course and got certified to install and handle the refrigerant. This is the most complete and accurate description of tools needed and process. My only addition would be most line sets come already flared, that means you use the whole line and lose a touch of efficiency in the process but it isn't a bad trade off considering that you wouldn't need a flare tool and if you remove too much line the precharged refrigerant amount would be more than you need. Most manuals will tell you the length of line set the charge is for, pay attention to this.

Create an account, place it in your cart and let it sit for an hour. 12% coupon will show up to your email. If not, just use ACC10 for a flat 10% off, making it $450 instead of $440. No taxes, free ship.

exactly, it should be 240v
"In North America, the modern standard for residential power supply is 120/240 volts. This standard has evolved over time, with the previous common terminology of 110/220 volts still being used informally by many people."

I've been mulling over putting in some of these mini split units for some time as my hole house HVAC the heat stopped working. I have been using 1500 watt space heaters in the winter and I think I am just going to drill a hole in the wall and plug in one of these 110/120 volt units in the wall. I will of course use a heavy gauge like a 12 gauge quality cord, but looking at the max draw on these units they rarely (I think I saw one that went to 1600 watts) go above 1500 watts. The AI machine says that it would take around 1800 watts to max out a 15 amp circuit. There's also a possibility my circuits could be 20 amp as well but when I saw max draw lower than the space heaters I have been running for years I figured a cord through the wall will work.

As I said I have already used these indoor receptacles for years at 1500 watts for long periods of time. We will see if there are any problems with doing it this way. I know it may not "meet code" or some crap but I seriously doubt I will have any problems doing it this way and it will probably save a LOT of money not hiring sparky for 3 separate mini split units. I don't want to run any new wire myself because I am getting older and the attic is just too much for me any more. I could run outside conduit under the soffit but I'm just going to try the cord.

Anyone else ever done it this way?

You can purge the lines with this line set flushing kit https://www.homedepot.com/p/Pione.../314537728 instead of a vacuum pump.
You can do the same thing without this. Just keep a line cracked open before you release the gas through the system. Wait a second or two for the gas to pass through the line set and indoor unit then tighten the line. Use sealant on the flare fittings. There is plenty of gas precharged to do this. It works every time.
