Mini-split repair
Homeowners · Landlords
A mini-split is a heat pump: the same system heats in winter and cools in summer. When it stops doing either, this is what we check.
- Not heating, or blowing coldThe indoor unit runs but the room stays cold. We check the outdoor unit, the refrigerant charge, the reversing valve and the controls that switch it to heat.
- Blinking lights and error codesRead the code with us on the phone, or text a photo of the lights. The code points to the sensor, board or part to look at first.
- The outdoor unit iced overSome frost in winter is normal and clears in a defrost cycle. A unit that stays covered in ice, or never comes out of defrost, needs a look.
- Water leaking from the indoor unitA clogged drain line, a drain pump or a dirty coil, and water runs down the wall instead of outside.
- Not coolingWarm air from the indoor unit in summer: the compressor, the outdoor fan, a dirty coil, or a refrigerant leak.
- Refrigerant leaksFound and repaired before the system is recharged; adding refrigerant alone only buys time. EPA 608 Universal certified.
- The remote, the wall controller and the wiringA unit that won't respond, won't change modes, or loses contact between the indoor and outdoor units.
- Noises and smellsRattling, grinding, or a musty smell from a coil and fan that need cleaning.
Cold out and the heat stopped?A blank indoor unit and no warm air is a no-heat call. We take emergency calls nights and weekends.
Mini-split installation
Homeowners · Landlords
A ductless mini-split heats and cools a room without ductwork: an outdoor unit, one or more indoor units on the wall, and a small line through the wall between them. We install them.
- Single-zone systemsOne outdoor unit and one indoor unit, for one room that needs its own heat and air.
- Multi-zone systemsOne outdoor unit serving indoor units in several rooms, each with its own setting.
- A room addition, a finished basement or an atticHeat and air for a space the furnace and the ducts never reached.
- A house without ductsHeating and cooling for a home that has never had central air.
- Replacing window unitsYear-round heat and air in place of window air conditioners that come out every fall.
- Replacing or adding to baseboard heatA heat pump for rooms heated by baseboards, with cooling in the summer.
- The brands we knowTrained and certified on Toshiba-Carrier, Daikin, Fujitsu and Samsung systems.
Mini-split not working? Check this before you call
The remote. Is it set to heat, not cool, dry or fan? Is the setting above the room temperature, and are the batteries good?
The breaker. Reset a tripped breaker once. If it trips again, leave it off and call.
The filters. Open the front cover of the indoor unit and look at the filters. Clogged filters cut heating and cooling.
The outdoor unit. Clear snow, ice and leaves from around it. In winter it may stop blowing warm air for a few minutes while it defrosts.
The lights. Count the blinks or write down the error code on the display, and tell us when you call.
Leave the panels on: don't open the outdoor unit, and don't keep switching it off and on. A unit left as it is lets us see the fault when we arrive.
When to call us
- The mini-split won't switch to heat, or blows cold air in heat mode
- The indoor unit blinks an error or won't turn on
- The outdoor unit stays iced over
- Water dripping from the indoor unit or down the wall
- A room the furnace never heats, or a house without ducts
- Window units or baseboard heat you want to replace
How it works
Call or text. For a repair, tell us what the unit is doing and send a photo of the error code or the unit's label. For an installation, tell us which rooms need heat and air.
We come out. Nights and weekends too for a unit that stopped heating. For an installation we look at the rooms and where the indoor and outdoor units can go, and tell you what it needs before any work starts.
We do the work. One repair, or a new single-zone or multi-zone system. Next time, call the same number.
Questions
Do you install mini-splits, or only repair them?
Both. We install single-zone and multi-zone ductless mini-splits, and we repair the ones already on the wall.
What is the difference between single-zone and multi-zone?
A single-zone system has one outdoor unit for one indoor unit. A multi-zone system has one outdoor unit for indoor units in several rooms, each set on its own.
Which brands do you work on?
We are trained and certified on Toshiba-Carrier, Daikin, Fujitsu and Samsung systems, and EPA 608 Universal certified to handle refrigerants.
Do you come at night and on weekends?
Yes. A mini-split that stops heating on a cold night is an emergency, and we take emergency calls nights and weekends.
Where do you work?
We are based in Paterson and cover Wayne, Totowa, Little Falls, Woodland Park, Haledon, Hawthorne, Fair Lawn, Elmwood Park and Clifton, and the rest of North Jersey.
