Comment Questions… we will respond with answers! GWIN hvac Assisted DIY™ Tech Included™

We started with our top 9 questions…

  1. WHATS THE DIFFERENCE IN ASSISTED DIY VS. DIY ALONE?

(With diy alone you’re often left on your own… if you unknowingly install a system that maybe got damaged during shipping, you’re responsible for figuring out what’s wrong with it, and most of the time need a tech to verify the issue… that’s even if you can get one. Lots of issues from diy are from botched installations, and problems normally found during the nitrogen test, such as slow leaks. These sometimes don’t present themselves until months later, and you’re responsible to figure out the problem, and pay for repairs and refrigerant, because if you’re not licensed, you can’t even buy it!

GWIN comes with a tech upfront that’s included in the purchase. You do the installation, and if any system issues are found we pay for those repairs. The only thing you’re on the hook for is any leaks or install issues found, but once the tech is done and he says it’s good… if something leaks after that, it’s on us and we pay for it. That coverage last for one year! That’s a pretty good deal for a self install system)

  1. HOW DOES ASSISTED DIY & GETTING A TECH WORK?

(You buy the system from us, dealing with the brand directly. This eliminates lots of issues and gives us full control of resolving issues for our customers. You do the full install, and get full warranty coverage, no hidden fine print. Once installed, you call us when you’re ready and we schedule the tech, it’s that easy.)

  1. DO YOU HAVE A TECH IN MY AREA & WHAT IF YOU CAN’T FIND ONE?

(We started in some of the most remote zip codes in the four corners of the US… In most cases we already have systems, and techs in your area. But… we have the “GWIN Tech Guarantee Or It’s Free” step 1- we most likely already have a tech or we will add a new local GWIN TECH. 2- We have a tech nearby that we will pay to drive to you. 3- if those fail we will fly a tech to you… if none of those has worked out in a 30 day period we will refund your money, and you keep the system free, that’s the GWIN tech guarantee.)

  1. DO YOU HAVE ANY KIND OF LABOR WARRANTY?

(Yes, we have the 1yr bumper to bumper labor and refrigerant warranty. We cover parts damage, equipment issues, & the tech work for one year. So if the tech missed a leak and your system leaked down moths after the tech completed the startup, we will pay him to come find the leak, fix it, and recharge the system. No charge to you. The only part you are ever on the hook for, are any leaks before the initial startup, since this is diy. We do limit these with our flare-less easy connect fittings. It would be unusual for them to leak. We try to make this as fool proof as possible.)

  1. WHEN IT COMES TO WARRANTY WILL A TECH SERVICE IT?

(Adding the tech back in the beginning helps to assure that you’ll have a tech to come service it later. In most cases, this will be the same tech that will come service it in the future. The company already has your address and system in their records.)

  1. HOW DOES GWIN COMPARE IN PRICE TO OTHER DIY BRANDS?

(Compared to the big name DIY brand we are comparable in price, especially the multi-zone. With GWIN you get more warranty, better assurance on parts, a -22 operating system vs a -13 operating system, and you get a tech to make sure everything is right. That’s something you should want when you’re spending that kind of money for a multi-zone.)

  1. HOW DOES GWIN INSTALLATION COMPARE TO OTHER DIY INSTALLATION?

(If you’ve seen one ductless mini split install you’ve pretty much seen them all. It basically comes down to how you do the line sets. Are they pre-charged fixed lengths, are they pre-flared fixed lengths, are you going to cut and flare them, maybe even try to braze them? Or cut them to length like a professional, use GWIN’s flare-less easy connect fittings, and have a professional looking, and working install? That truly is basically it.)

  1. ARE YOU ALL ABLE TO HELP ME SIZE MY SYSTEM?

(Who you see in this video are who you’ll be talking to if you call in, or hop on chats from the website. Each one is knowledgeable, and will help you figure out exactly what you need with no hesitation. It’s what they enjoy doing, and are passionate about.

  1. WHAT ARE PARTS WARRANTY & AVAILABILITY LIKE?

(We partnered with a national supply house that likes our business model. They will ship parts directly to your door for free, for 10 years. The warranty stays with the equipment, no matter who owns it, and no matter who installed it. WIN WITH GWIN)

GWIN Assisted DIY vs DIY

The Evolution of DIY Mini Splits

GWIN™ Assisted DIY™

Most DIY mini splits still leave the hardest parts up to you — pressure testing, vacuuming the system, handling refrigerant, or finding your own tech, and even dealing with bulky pre-charged line sets. GWIN™ HVAC changes all of that with Assisted DIY™.GWIN™ having the Assisted DIY™ is an evolution over DIY alone and makes GWIN™ a complete DIY mini split system that includes free expert tech support, with a tech included, so you never need special tools, never touch refrigerant, never run a vacuum pump, and never perform a pressure test. Our line sets with our easy connect flare-less fittings, allow for a professional operating system, with a professional look. Which also means no coiled mess and no guesswork — just a straightforward self-install ductless system that goes in like a true DIY HVAC project, backed by professionals every step of the way. Whether you're cooling or heating a garage, basement, bedroom, sunroom, home addition, tiny home, or cabin — GWIN™ HVAC is the ultimate DIY ductless solution with our Assisted DIY™ for homeowners who want to do it themselves, but done right." GWIN™ HVAC is the advanced version of DIY mini splits. 

What is Assisted DIY™ and why is it better than DIY alone?

The other DIY brands did a good thing making hvac available to the homeowner, and more affordably at that. Where they fell short was leaving them hanging when things get shipped not working, or after the install when issues arise. The big deal is when you buy DIY, you get DIY… You’re not getting a tech at all, even if there is an issue with the equipment from the factory, it’s your problem. If you have a problem, most techs don’t want to service the equipment, and that can be an issue.
So how does GWIN™** **handle this any differently? For starters GWIN™ is the first and only company to offer Assisted DIY™ which has a Tech Included™ with every system. This is equally as good as buying a pre-charged lineset, but better. This solves so many problems, and makes things so much easier for the homeowner. They never have to worry about getting a tech, because one is included from the beginning free of charge. The homeowner handles all of the install, just like all the other DIY systems. One major overlooked advantage is that the lineset can easily be cut to length, and connected using our easy connect flare-less fittings. Our lineset assembly allows the system to look and work professionally just as it was intended. 
Once the install is complete, the homeowner simply calls GWIN directly, and we schedule the tech, communicating directly between the two. The great thing is, no matter where you are in the 48 contagious US states, you are guaranteed a tech, or you get your system free. I mean… that quite a guarantee. Once the tech is scheduled, he comes, pressure test your system for leaks, then will vac and charge your system. The great thing is, Its all included. That’s definitely an evolution over pre-charged linesets and DIY in general.

GWIN really backs the homeowner, especially with a DIY installation with our Bumper to Bumper one year warranty. For one whole year after the tech commissions the system, the customer install labor is fully covered, the tech labor is fully covered, and refrigerant is fully covered. So if a tech missed a leak during the pressure test, we pay to have it fixed, and we pay for the refrigerant as well. The warranty gets better… lets say if a system gets unknowingly damaged and installed, such as a control board not working, or some crazy issue that’s not a installer issue, its fully covered when the tech comes, and we pay to have them fix it. 

GWIN doesn’t even stop there… some really big problems were solved. The equipment comes with a 10yr parts and compressor warranty that stays with the equipment, no matter who owns it or installs it. Plus we partnered with one of the largest hvac part suppliers in the US to supply parts for our 10yr warranty. So you never have to worry about getting parts. For 10yrs if parts are ever needed, they are shipped directly to your door from the closet supply house to your location. 

This is what Assisted DIY™ is… and we do our best to make sure that you are always Assisted.

I just want to share with you all that if you’re considering going diy with your hvac, consider GWIN hvac. I chose GWIN assisted DIY over MRCOOL diy, because when I bought the system a tech was included in the price.

The way they explained it, it’s the same thing as getting a precharged lineset, but better because you’re getting an actual tech with it. You don’t have to handle any refrigerant or do any vac and charging. They handle all of that and check for leaks.

I got to do the full install, James the in house tech helped with any questions that I had. Then once I was ready, I called in and they scheduled the tech to come and pressure test, and vac and charge the system the next day. It eased my mind of my install, and the worry that if I ever had any issues, I’ll have a tech that will service my system. Having that extra assurance was a big deal to me.

One of the big things that I liked, and that the tech also complimented on was how with GWIN you can cut the lineset properly. It looks like a professional install with the way they do their linesets, and the fittings they use are super easy. I’m gonna be doing another system and there is no question that I’m going with GWIN again. It’s a win win!
