Mitsubishi ductless mini-split indoor unit in a living room

Mini-Split Not Working? Check These First

The remote has fresh batteries and is set to the right mode, Cool or Heat, with a setting that makes sense for the room.
The filters behind the front panel of the indoor unit are clean. Clogged filters cut airflow and can cause icing and leaks.
The breaker or disconnect for the outdoor unit is on.
The outdoor unit is clear of leaves, snow, and anything blocking airflow around it.

If the unit is leaking water inside, turn it off and call us. If it is blinking an error code, write the code down before you call.

Common Ductless Problems We Repair

Water leaking inside

A clogged condensate drain, a dirty coil, or a failed condensate pump can send water down the wall. We clear the drain and fix the cause.

Blinking lights and error codes

Error codes point to faulty sensors, communication problems between the indoor and outdoor units, or refrigerant issues. We diagnose the code and repair the fault.

Dirty coil and blower wheel

Dust, pet hair, and mold build up on the indoor coil and blower wheel, causing weak airflow and musty smells. A deep cleaning restores airflow and air quality.

Refrigerant leaks

Leaks at line set connections reduce heating and cooling. We find the leak, repair it, and tell you whether the repair makes sense for the system.

Icing and poor heating

Ice on the indoor coil or a struggling outdoor unit in winter usually points to airflow, defrost, or refrigerant problems.

Electrical and board failures

Failed boards, sensors, and wiring problems can stop a unit from starting or make it shut off. We test the components and replace what failed.

Ductless Service and Cleaning

Ductless systems run longer than most central systems, often in garages, bonus rooms, and other hard-working spaces. A yearly professional cleaning of the indoor coil, blower wheel, and drain, plus a check of the refrigerant charge and electrical connections, keeps the system efficient and catches problems early. Ask about our spring and fall maintenance visits. No contract required.

What a ductless system is

A ductless mini-split is a heat pump with an outdoor unit and one or more indoor units connected by a small refrigerant line. It heats and cools without ductwork.

Single-zone and multi-zone

A single-zone system serves one room. A multi-zone system runs several indoor units from one outdoor unit, each with its own temperature setting.

Ductless Repair Questions

Why is my ductless mini-split leaking water inside?

Most indoor leaks come from a clogged condensate drain line, a dirty indoor coil, or a drain that is not sloped correctly. Turn the unit off, wipe up the water, and call for service so the drain can be cleared before it damages walls or floors.

Why is my mini-split blinking or showing an error code?

A blinking light or error code is the system reporting a fault, such as a sensor, communication, or refrigerant problem. Write down the code and the model number and call us. Turning the unit off and on may clear it for a while, but the cause is still there.

How often should a ductless mini-split be cleaned?

Rinse the washable indoor filters about once a month during heavy use. Have the indoor coil, blower wheel, and drain professionally cleaned once a year, more often in rooms with pets, dust, or cooking.
