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.

  • 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.

The only problem I have with this statement is that the unit runs on 220V. Most people should not be messing with adding a 220 breaker without proper support from an electrician. The rest of what this unit needs, I agree...DIY-friendly.
I installed mine right next to my current HVAC. Pulled the 220 from it and put 2 of these in. Close the door when you sleep and you save $$$ over turning the central on.

any recommendations on a DIYer set of gauges and vacuum? will likely use them only one time.
I heard other said that Auto Zone or Auto Part store allow them to RENT FOR FREE. I installed 3 mini splits. So I bought mine. Try call or stop by Auto Zone ask them about it. If it's not working, let us know. We will help you find vacuum pump and gauge set easily.

Does anyone know how good the unit is for heating? Im looking to cool AND heat my garage in order to use the space for working out. Currently I am using a portable AC unit and a separate forced air electric heater but I cannot run either ahead of time to warm/cool the space. I want to be able to program the unit to warm/cool the garage ahead of time so that I can start working out without having to wait 30-60 minutes like I currently do now. BTW, I live in the northeast part of the country if that makes any difference.
MIni split AC is very cold and extreme hot. I can't stand in front of it very long time. You want to turn AC/HEAT on ahead of time to warm/cool down. You need the model with WIFI APP CONTROL. With the app control you could turn on/off with your phone. But look like this model Garvee doesn't have wifi. Couple days ago, I posted the "TURBRO 12,000 BTU Ductless Mini Split Inverter AC with Heat Pump, 24 SEER2, 208-230V". This one have WIFI and good for people live in North. Because the heat still work even outside temp low as -13 degree. But the deal is dead now.

Is this unit overkill for a 200-250 sq ft bedroom? I'm looking to purchase two to install in two bedrooms near each other. Gonna wait til fall season to install them.
Yes, it is little too much for bedroom that size. I had 9k BTU model for my 150 sq ft bedroom. It able to cool/heat my room, bathroom, and another bedroom 30 feet away. So small bedroom, I think 9k BTU is perfect and save energy cost.

Permits sound like a racket. Can homeowner install without one?

Of course. You can install a gas chamber too. Loose lips sink ships. Albeit I'm a certified HVAC tech, I installed several split units for family and friends in permit areas without any recourse. Just be quick about it. Most inspectors don't say shit about old work — tell your friends/family that "it was there when I bought the house".

If it takes you 4 hours with someone helping you, you should probably consider a different profession.

Yeah it's really not super difficult. Get a 115v one and it's even easier, you can literally run a 12awg extension cord and just plug it into any GFI outlet. That even passes code as the quick disconnect point. Mount the indoor unit, drill a slightly angled hole, run the wire/hoses, connect them. Rent an AC Vac tool for free from Autozone, pull vac., walk away for an hour, if the bar didn't move it's good to go.

I wouldn't buy another GarveeHome air conditioner if you tried to sell it to me for $1. They are horrible and the customer service is the worst I have ever experienced.

These things are good for a 2 car garage with occasional use?
Idk. I installed 24,000 BTU in my 2 car garage. You usually go out to the garage and start working. 24k does the job quickly then will ramp down to maintain setpoint. If the tonnage is too small then it will just run full blast all of the time.
