Choosing between two 12,000 BTU ductless mini split heat pumps comes down to voltage, room size, and how much of the installation you want handled. The Confortotal and Garvee systems both heat and cool, but their differences can point you in opposite directions.
Quick Verdict
If your home has 220V wiring and you want a full installation kit with remote and line set, the Confortotal is the straightforward pick. If you need 115V compatibility, wider coverage, and higher SEER2 efficiency, the Garvee offers those at a lower listed price.

Where Each Product Wins
- Confortotal wins when you need a bundled package: the listing includes the indoor unit, outdoor unit with a Toshiba compressor, a digital remote in Fahrenheit, and a complete installation kit with wire and line set. It also runs on R32 refrigerant.
- Garvee wins for a larger room and standard 115V power. It covers 701-750 sq ft, offers 19 SEER2 efficiency, and gives you six operating modes with five fan speeds, including a mute speed.
Product Notes
Confortotal 12,000 BTU Mini Split, 220V 1 Ton With Kit
The Confortotal system covers 551-600 sq ft and comes with the indoor air handler, outdoor compressor (Toshiba), installation manual, digital remote with Fahrenheit display, and a complete installation kit with wire and line set. It's pre-charged with R32 refrigerant. Features include automatic air swing, sleep function, washable filters, and a fan-only option. The listed price is USD 459.08. A consideration: coverage is smaller than the Garvee and it requires 220V, so this is the better choice for rooms with existing high-voltage wiring and where the installation kit saves extra trips.
Garvee 12,000 BTU 19 SEER2 Mini Split, 115V
The Garvee system covers up to 750 sq ft and operates on 115V, making it easier to place in more rooms without a dedicated 220V circuit. It delivers 12,000 BTU cooling and 12,300 BTU heating, with a 19 SEER2 efficiency rating. Six modes (Cool, Heat, Dry, Fan, Sleep, ECO) and five fan speeds, including a mute speed, give you broad control. The listed price is USD 365.14, lower than the Confortotal. A consideration: its description emphasizes modes and efficiency rather than an installation package, so plan for the necessary line set and wiring separately. This suits larger open areas and standard outlets.
Final Choice by Use Case
If your space is roughly 550-600 square feet and you have 220V wiring, the Confortotal's included kit makes setup simpler. If your room is closer to 700-750 square feet and you want to stay on a 115V circuit while spending less up front, the Garvee is the one to buy.
