Reviews for Perfect Aire DIY 18,000 BTU 23.3 SEER Quick Connect Ductless Mini Split Heat Pump w/ WiFi - 230V

We are very pleased with our Perfect Aire 18K BTU single zone DIY mini split. The most difficult aspect of the installation is coiling the excess line set. It is cumbersome and hard on the hands. Having overcome the challenge, the product works great - very efficient and quieter than the fans we had been using. We are very pleased.

With respect to your company’s performance, I have been very pleased. The Perfect Aire system’s price was reasonable, especially considering the free shipping. It was securely packaged for shipping so that there was absolutely no shipping damage. The order also arrived complete with nothing missing. My only critical comment regarding packaging for shipping is that the very large pallet made it relatively difficult for the driver to use a pallet jack to get it off the truck for my residential curb delivery. Nevertheless, this was accomplished without incident.

I got the system finally installed only yesterday and it is working very well, cooling my 1200 square foot shop (steel with sprayed on foam insulation). I had no real difficulties installing the system. I’d never done anything like it before, so I took my time. My only criticism of the unit has to do with the instructions. It’s obvious the manual was written by someone whose first language is not English. The manual for the remote (the actual operating instructions) is particularly problematical, with several grammatical errors. More bothersome, though, is that I have no idea what two of the “modes” on this system do. There is no explanation whatsoever for “AI Smart” mode or for “Lock” mode. The instructions tell how to turn them on and off, but not what they do.

Overall, I like your service and the system.

Have not installed them yet. Shipping was fast and convenient.

Installed a 12000 BTU DYI and very pleased.

The unit cools great, super quiet, waiting to see how much I am saving. I got a $500 rebate from my electric company. It is running circled around the two 3.5 ton units in my store in Myrtle Beach, SC.
Installation was easy but needed two friends to wrestle the head unit on the bracket. The lip of the bracket could have been longer and would have made things easier. The outside unit was mounted 5 feet off the ground and needed two friends to help me mount it. Make sure you are lifting the coil side, which weights nothing compared to the compressor side of the outside unit. I used Nylog HVAC thread sealer, make sure you get the correct one for the freon you have, and had no leaks. I took several days to install and only grabbed friends for heavy lifting. Bending and straightening the line set was nerve racking but no kinks! I did buy a Harbor Freight tube bender for $10 for the 90 degree bends. I would definitely recommend this Perfect Aire unit!

Heating and cooling a 1000 sf cabin in southcentral Indiana with this unit. Very easy to install and so far we are impressed with how quiet and effective it is. One note, our lineset measured 24'-3" (we were expecting a full 25'-0"... so were a little tight but made it work). Also note, this unit has a wifi module behind the front control panel. If you don't plan to use the wifi controls and don't want the module constantly broadcasting you can unplug it easily and all controls still work fine with the included remote.

I just finish the installation of this unit and I LOVE IT!! DIY except hired an electrician to do the wiring. It's quiet and performs beautifully. If you're not handy and don't have a decent supply of tools, you might need help with the installation. I purchased before the price dropped, but hey, that's ok, because my house is cool! Only con that I have is that there is a lot of extra hose outside. I purchased a wall mount static hose hanger and looped ot on that. Presto! Saved myself a boatload of money as estimated for hvac contractor installations were $7000-9000.

Unit works flawlessly. Installation was a breeze with no leak issues at all. Highly recommend

Purchased 12k BYu model. Unconventional install as it was on an interior wall. Ram through attic. Took a couple hours over two days. Up and running great. Instructions are easy to follow.

Very pleased with our unit. The packaging is excellent and protects the components very well. The quality of workmanship and materials is excellent. Directions are reasonably well written, side note it tells you not to take the foam off of the end of the line-set because you can get dirt in the fittings. What they didn't say is this also keeps the tubes positioned so they can be connected easily.
