- SDSam D.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoYou CAN Do It Yourself!
Other than a 2-3/4" hole saw arbor and an adjustable torque wrench to be absolutely certain on the connections, the installation was amazingly straight forward. I was able to easily complete the install in a single afternoon, once I had a licensed electrician run a new dedicated circuit to a disconnect box at the site.
Pre-charged lines were a cinch to connect and torque to required parameters. Sadly (at least for this install) the unit ships with 25' of precharged lines that cannot be shortened. (I needed less than 10') Carefully coiled the excess taking extra effort not to kink, and stuffed it (mostly) out of sight behind the unit.
Was nervous of possible vibration using the supplied offset wall brackets, but doesn't seem to be a problem as both the inside and outside units produce a remarkably low noise output.
I bought a straight section of 4" PVC downspout, cut out the back side, and clipped it over the exposed piping all the way to the underside of the overhanging eave above. Should visibly disappear when I paint it to match the wall. Neat part is it snaps off easily if access is ever needed! Feel result is more functional, better looking, and a good deal cheaper that expensive after market duct cover kits.
Everything appears to be functioning perfectly during the start up 2 weeks.
Lots of options for air direction and temp pre-sets on the remote, but find the instructions for actually implementing the on-line app on my i-phone most confusing. Might need to reach out…
HAHeat And Cool6 months agoHi Sam,
Thank you so much for your detailed review of the Klimaire DIY 12,000 BTU 19 SEER2 Ductless Mini Split Heat Pump! We’re thrilled to hear that your installation process went smoothly and that the unit is delivering cool, quiet comfort just as expected.
Your creative solution using a 4" PVC downspout for covering the exposed piping is brilliant—not only functional and cost-effective but also easy to access and visually appealing once painted. That’s a fantastic tip for other DIYers!
We appreciate your feedback about the precharged lines and the thoughtful approach you took to coil and conceal the excess length without kinks—definitely helpful advice for others facing a similar situation.
It’s great to know that the low noise output from both the indoor and outdoor units exceeded expectations, and we’re glad the remote options are working well so far. If you need any assistance with setting up the Wi-Fi app on your iPhone, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team—we’d be happy to help!
Thank you again for your recommendation and for sharing such valuable insights. We’re here whenever you need us!
- RMRowan M.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 years agoI ran tubing under deck
I watched lots of Utubes before installing this unit
Be very careful with the drain line as this does put out a lot of water. I plugged this into a section of Garden hose but it had an obstruction and water started coming out of my wall. Caught it in time and changed that.
The 25' piping was just right and had none the spare.
This was not as easy project but very doable for most folks and watch a lot of UTUBE.
I was most worried about the pipe connections but that went very easy with 2 wrenches
The hard part was crawling under the Deck
The Unit took right off and pumped out cold air soon after turning on. Super Quiet
A great part was having spring benders around the wall unit pipes to avoid kinking when putting through the 2 3/4 exit hole. Also having a plug in signal cable helpful for tight work space.
Calls to customer answered fast and helped with registration. I am changing to 5 stars
So far so good

- BBBillie B.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 years agoVery quiet.
Took a little trouble shooting. Compressor was making to much noise needed to tighten something on the inside. After that it is very quiet. Install went well price is affordable. I installed this 120v unit in my guest tiny house. About 250 sq ft. Heats and cool well.
