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.

  • DIY installation can be completed quickly when mounting hardware and pipe connections are handled carefully.

  • The 120V version can be practical for garages because it may cool effectively while drawing relatively modest power.

  • Mini-splits can remove humidity while cooling, which can improve comfort compared with window units.

  • Some installs report quiet operation and effective cooling of large garage spaces after setup.

    dtlb26FeistyHalibut688

  • The unit may not include native WiFi, which can matter for shoppers wanting app-based control.

    OrangeApparel8487PanamonJD713

  • Installation can require extra electrical and permitting steps that raise total costs beyond simple DIY expectations.

    ryanaugustPowerfulKnob7210protegechris

  • Vacuuming and line-set handling steps can be a concern, with some guidance questioning whether skipping vacuuming is safe.

  • Support and replacement experiences can be unreliable when a compressor arrives damaged, which can delay getting a second system running.

Rant aside, what part of the installation would actually need a licensed technician to be legal?

Really depeds on the jurisdiction of where it's installed. Most places would require a dedicated circuit for powering the unit most likely requiring a permit to be pulled. If using the unit for a primary heating and cooling in a space that was not conditioned prior or conversion of space then load calcs are required also papers to be filed.

For working with the refigerant being r32 no licensing is needed at the moment.

Sure. People use mini-splits in campers. But this is a 230v, so your camper would need to be 50a equipped already, or be capable of plugging into 50a utility stand to power it directly.

No license is ever needed if you know someone who does HVAC professionally

Yea, some people just purge the lines. Basically, they just open the high side service valve with the suction side hose off the manifold. They let the refrigerant run through the lineset and evaporator. Open up both valves and let it run.I used to be a the industry and one company I worked for did this. I found lead change out crew didn't even have a vacuum pump on their truck. I tried to get them to start using them.I worked service and the company did a lot of new construction and change outs. The funny thing is they never got call backs. I never went to a unit where I diagnosed noncondensibles or moisture as the problem.Even with 410a, people online would say you couldn't have a drop of mineral oil in the system due to Poe oil. They would go through extraordinary efforts to replace linesets or flush the old ones.I worked on the commercial refrigeration side for a little bit. When the converted old hcfc refrigeration units to hfc refrigerants. It was common practice to either dump out the mineral oil and replace with poe or just add Poe on top. Never saw call backs on those either. I know some will say the problem could arise in 10 or 20 years. Yea, I can't answer that. I do believe, however, the need to replace linesets or flush them is greatly exaggerated.I did thumbs up your post and will always use a vacuum pump and micron gauge.
Yeah, there has a lot of intentional misinformation meant to sell parts. On the automotive side we used to drop R134a onto R12 systems without any of the elaborate conversion steps. The oil did not turn to acid and consume the system.

I can see blowing out lines working for new installs but I would never do it on repair work. An old system holding vacuum prevents wasted refrigerant.

50 amps? No way. These things draw way smaller amounts of power than that. A 20amp circuit at 240v is more than enough, as that's 4800 watts, and only the largest of these units (like 24 or 36k BTU) use that much power.

Where are the measurements on CFM specs on the inside unit? I want to replace my lackluster Pioneer 12000 unit with this, but I've learned indoor CFM ratings are typically poor on these units compared to name brand.

Anyone have a real spec sheet on this unit?

Doh! It's in their photos.

350CFM, seems low.

The question was specific to campers. 30 amp campers don't have 230v, therefore this particular ac wouldn't work unless it's a 50 amp camper.

Oh my. Knowing the difference between Voltage and Amperage may be helpful.
This mini split is a 240V system, meaning, with regard to "Campers", it's going to require a 240V/50A, NEMA 14-50 receptacle. Which is the 50A receptacle in a CG.
The 30A receptacle is a NEMA TT-30, and is only capable of 120V maximum.

Window air conditioner is a huge electric user especially during summer when they are charging for over consumption. These splits use 1/5th or less than those plus remove gallons of humidity from the air. No comparison if you understand them fully.
Wrong.
NEW ones are close in efficiency.
Example Midea U

If you are paying someone to do a new install.
Your payback (in efficiency savings) will be about a decade or longer.
at whichh time you will most likey have to replace this unit anyway.

Regular price showing $393, only 10% discount, unsure why this post claims 31% discount.

Unless he meant 1/5th less energy usage, not 1/5th of the energy usage.
I don't understand the humidity part; they both dump condensed water outside of the house.
