Ductless Mini Split Repair

Yes. Most mini splits can be repaired. Common issues like clogged drain lines, faulty sensors, or electrical problems can usually be taken care of in a single visit. Even larger problems like refrigerant leaks or compressor issues are often repairable, though they may require more time or parts.

Mini split repair costs can range quite a bit depending on what's going on. A clogged drain line or a small part replacement is usually on the lower end, while bigger problems like a refrigerant leak or compressor issue will cost more. We keep our pricing fair and only recommend what's really needed.

Everything is explained up front, and you'll always have the choice before any work begins. If you're a maintenance plan member, you automatically get discounts on all mini split services. We also offer financing options to make repairs affordable when unexpected breakdowns happen.

That depends on the age of the system and the type of repair needed. Mini splits typically last around 15 to 20 years with good care. If your unit is nearing the end of its lifespan and the repair is costly, replacement may make more sense. But if the system is younger and the repair is minor, it's often worth fixing.

Our team will assess your ductless mini split system honestly and walk you through both repair and replacement options so you can make the best decision for your home and budget.

The $5000 rule helps homeowners decide whether to repair or replace their hvac system. Multiply the repair cost by the age of your unit. If that number exceeds $5000, replacement typically offers better long-term value than continued repairs.

For example, if your 12 year old ductless mini split needs a $500 repair, that's $6000 (500 x 12), suggesting replacement might be wiser. This rule applies to mini split air conditioner units, heat pumps, and central hvac systems. However, this is just a guideline. Our hvac technicians consider other factors and will explain your options with honest pricing.

The biggest-ticket repairs usually involve the compressor, control board, or a major refrigerant leak. These parts are critical to how the system runs, and when they fail, the repair can cost close to half the price of a new unit. In those cases, we'll walk you through whether it's smarter to repair or replace.

Start with simple checks: replace the remote batteries, clean or replace the air filter, verify the breaker hasn't tripped, and make sure the outdoor unit isn't blocked by debris. These steps solve many common issues.

Call immediately if your ductless mini split won't turn on, leaks water, has ice forming on coils, makes loud or unusual noises, or displays error codes. Also contact us if your mini split system short cycles, drives up energy bills without improving comfort, or can't maintain consistent temperatures in the space it's supposed to heat or cool.

Early intervention by our team prevents more expensive repairs and keeps your home comfortable. The sooner you schedule service, the better.
