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.

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

  • 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.

Why would you get a permit for s simple minisplit? these greedy building departments have enough money. THEY are part of the reason housing is so expensive. All they will do is increase yer property taxes
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.

That sounds pretty good and fair. In my area Daikin and Mitsubishi single units average about $10k at the low end (parts + labor). It's highway robbery. My neighbor got two units installed for $30k on credit.

Asked electrician friend about this and was told anyone that comes up here thinking they'll undercut these guys and make a killing, quickly realize they can charge the same and still get jobs.

It'll only come down (over here) when people stop paying those ludicrous rates.
I get cheap minisplits on my rentals, ~$700 unit installed each, have gotten over a dozen throughout my properties, way cheaper than central air crap.

Already have central air with heat pump but it switches over to expensive fuel oil heat at 34 degrees. This says it heats at temps as low as -13 degrees. Wondering if I should switch over to a couple of mini splits? Not looking forward to paying $1400 to get my fuel oil tank refilled.

In the same situation like you. Let me know how it goes if you decided to go with mini splits.

Anybody know if Garvee (or whoever is actually manufacture these) sells a wifi addon?

I've got 2 Me Cool units that come with "wifi" and it's literally just a USB dongle that plugs in. Seems lots of generic brands do the same but they're model-specific... and I can't tell if Garvee does or not. They have so many WiFi enabled units it mucks up all my search results.

Reading about 3rd party "smart" connections from earlier comments I'm seeing too many potential problems since there's no system feedback so I'd rather native support.
