It's a four hour job typically with one pro and one helper. I can't even drive to your house and set up my tools for $100 with gas insurance and taxes. The permit for the electric in my city would be $80. An electrician that I subcontract with would be $150 plus probably $250 in romex, breaker, disconnect, outlet etc to be at code.

The built-in WiFi in my old mrcool was trash. The sensibo system I use to automate all 6 of my analog AUX units is excellent. I would recommend going with an analog unit and getting sensibo if the unit is going to cost $100 less than a native wifi one and you need multiple units.

Community Reviews

This GarveeHome 12,000 BTU mini split stands out as a low cost way to add both cooling and heat, with strong efficiency compared with window units and quiet operation. The comments also point to easy DIY installation for handy buyers, and the included line set and precharged setup help keep the job straightforward. The main cautions are that it is not WiFi, the electrical work still needs care, and the listing appears to have shifted from SEER 19 to SEER2 17. It looks best for a garage, shed, or room where 230V power is already available.

Common Questions (6)

  • DIY installation is commonly described as straightforward for a handy buyer: mount the indoor unit, drill a wall hole, run the lines and wire, then vacuum the line set and release the precharged refrigerant. First-time installs have taken anywhere from about 45 minutes to a few days, and the hardest parts are usually the electrical work and cutting the wall opening.

    ghostwriter66CrimsonHarrier157JD713JD713

  • It is a 230V unit, but commenters say it does not need a 50A circuit; a dedicated 15A or 20A double-pole breaker is typically considered enough for this 12k BTU model. Several also note that 120V and 240V versions appear to perform similarly, so the main difference is the wiring you already have available.

    crazyjoemamaJD713Oliver744ghostwriter66

  • For a 200-250 sq ft bedroom, 12,000 BTU is often considered oversized, with 9,000 BTU suggested instead. For garages and larger spaces, 12,000 BTU can work, but insulation, sun exposure, and heat load matter a lot; some users in south Texas say smaller units struggle in peak afternoon heat.

    multiuseemailghostwriter66bobbyiskingJD713

  • This model is not Wi‑Fi, so it does not offer native app control. That matters if you want to pre-cool or pre-heat remotely; otherwise the included remote still works, and some buyers prefer skipping Wi‑Fi to save money.

    OrangeApparel8487PanamonJD713protegechris

  • Yes, the package includes a 3000mm line set, but buyers still mention needing extra install items such as a vacuum pump, disconnect box, breaker, whip, brackets or stand, and sometimes conduit or trim kit. Those extras can add roughly $150 to $250 or more to a DIY install.

    ProudAg04protegechrisdtlb26Chiphumper

  • Only if the camper already has 230V/240V power available, typically a 50A setup with a NEMA 14-50 receptacle. A standard 30A camper outlet is only 120V, so this unit will not run from that supply.

I checked my city's fee schedule. It's $200 for the mechanical and $200 for the electrical for permitting fees. That's crazy it's so expensive.

The 'ole 3000mm line set "standard equipment package"! Important detail which was much harder to find in this product listing than it should have been.

I only asked a few places, but what would you estimate the cost would be if:

- hole is already cut in house, and unit is installed on wall already
- unit is already mounted on concrete pad or mounted to house with bracket
- 12 gauge wire is already ran from box to location of split (but not hooked up to box or unit yet)

Im just trying to keep costs down, and use HVAC/Electrician where I dont feel comfortable. I can do all the grunt work, but charging the lines and some of the electrical I'd rather pay a pro.

One company said they either do the whole thing or nothing.....

I have an unused 220v circuit in my basement, and I've been thinking about putting one of these down there. If I do that, would I have to cut a hole in my foundation for the lines to go out side or could I go through a basement window? I'm guessing I'd need to go through the wall

$250 install in my area
I'll do it for $250; you supply everything. If a hole needs to be cut and an electric wire needs to run, add another 100-150 bucks.

Yes, you have to cut hole to get the lines outside to reach the outdoor unit.

I assumes you ask about this 12k BTU 230V unit. This unit draws less than 1200 watts. So you need 15 amp double breaker. You don't need 20 amp breaker.

Thanks. We have an unused vent from an old water heater we replaced that I might be able to run them through instead. Gonna check the dimensions and space, looks like this could also replace my dehumidifier down there too which would be awesome.

If you got little handyman skill, it is very easy. Go on youtube and search those video installation will help you.
