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.

Special equipment would be small refrigerant pump and 410A fitting adapters. Can be bought HF or Amazon around $120. Everything else is drills, hand tools, etc. I HIGHLY recommend using NYLOG refrigerant seal when connecting your refrigeration fittings. Look up on youtube how to use it.
The blind leading the blind. You don't need a refrigerant pump to install this, what you need is a vacuum pump (which is a completely different thing).

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?
Your circuit breakers are probably marked as being 15 or 20 amp. And hopefully they match the cabling in the wall (thicker 12 gauge required for a 20 amp circuit).

Just some info about the purpose of the codes you'd be violating. Extension cords use stranded copper wire so as to be flexible. Cable rated to go into and through walls ("romex") uses solid copper, largely because this makes connections/terminations more durable and reliable. The jacket on extension cords is likely not as tough as "romex", and additionally "romex" cable insulation and outer jacket is designed to be somewhat fire-retardant, and if it does burn, to produce less-toxic smoke than other jacket materials. So the main criticism of your plan would be from a fire hazard standpoint IMO.

And outdoor units by code require a disconnect switch mounted nearby for technician safety/emergency shutoff/etc.

I could just run romex through the wall and use that I guess with a heavy duty plug as I have seen romex used this way somewhere before. (Someone using it like an extension cord with a plug on the end) It was probably one of the other trades when I used to work as a framing carpenter. Anyway, I have seen this somewhere before so if that would be better than like a yellow jacket 12/3 cord I could just use that. I wonder if UV (being outside) would effect the romex cable more than the other cord. Hmm Thanks for the info.

My space is 600sqft, and it gets to 110F where I live. Would this AC be strong enough to get my space down to low 70s?

That's why most in the HVAC industry will try to talk you out of / fear monger with this "but you wont have a warranty"

What they aren't mentioning is the labor to repair these units at $100+ / hr + service call cost is not worth it. 2 service calls , 1 to diagnose and 1 to order parts and you are just about at replacement cost.

Manufactures aren't providing labor warranties for the most part, the reputable installers that charge 10-20K per install may provide something but are basically just baking it in to their install cost.
What they are mentioning to me is that they can't get r410 for my system

R-410 was only very recently discontinued, and is still readily available. A quick google search will pull up cylinders of 25lbs you can buy online for $200.You should find a place that doesn't lie to you.

Find a new contractor. You can still get R22, so 410a will be available for a long time.

It is but the lines needs to be evacuated before releasing the pre charge. A little different than the Mr Cool.

You can rent the vacuum pump from AutoZone for free then return it. FYI

Lots of people plug mini splits into outlets in other countries, at least in Central America. It works fine, except their breakers are always tripping since many have 50-100 amp service panels.

While I wouldn't recommend it, someone can probably get away with lopping off the female end of an appropriate gauge, outdoor-rated extension cord, adding strain relief/conduit, ferrules, and swapping for a GFCI outlet. If you do have an electrical fire your insurance may call shenanigans.

Making an extension cord with standard NM-B Romex is a Bad Idea. First - it's not UV resistant so the shielding will break down. Second it's not meant for wet locations or outdoors/animals/etc. Third it's not meant for regularly flexing like an extension cable and the conductors will eventually break if used like that.

The reason people are so adamantly against DIY electrical 'hacks' isn't because they're all unsafe...it's because some of them are VERY unsafe. I'm pretty hack friendly but I would /not/ do this.

I watched a few youtube videos on installation. I concluded I am not handy enough to go through the entire process - my current best/cheapest option is getting a 2 hose portable AC.
You can do it. Find a local handyman hire them to help you.
