We Repair All Cooling Systems

Ductless Mini-Splits
Whether it’s a head unit that won’t respond or a system leaking water, we repair ductless mini-splits and check line-sets, filters, and controls for reliable zoned comfort.
Common AC Problems We Fix
- Frozen evaporator coil: Often due to restricted airflow or low refrigerant. We thaw safely, correct airflow, and fix the root cause.
- Failed capacitor: Motor won’t start or hums. We test microfarads and replace with the correct spec component.
- Compressor trouble: Loud starts, tripping breakers, or no cooling. We isolate electrical vs. mechanical faults and present repair vs. replace options.
- Low refrigerant/leaks: Poor cooling and longer runtimes. We leak-test, repair the leak, and recharge to manufacturer specs.
- Clogged condensate line: Water around the air handler or shutoffs. We clear the drain, sanitize, and add prevention where appropriate.
- Thermostat miscalibration: Temps don’t match the setting. We recalibrate or replace and verify staging/communication.
- Blower motor failure: Weak airflow or no airflow. We test amperage and bearings, then repair or replace the motor/module.
