Our Five-Step Diagnostic Process

Pre-Visit Assessment

We gather system details—brand, model, age, recent performance issues—and review any visible error codes you’ve noted.

On-Site Inspection

A thorough visual check of indoor and outdoor units ensures mounting integrity, drain-line condition, and wiring accessibility.

Error-Code Retrieval & Analysis

Using manufacturer-approved tools, we pull diagnostic codes and analyze operational parameters.

Leak Detection & Pressure Testing

Ultraviolet dye or electronic sniffer methods identify refrigerant leaks. Pressure gauges verify system balance.

Electrical & Component Evaluation

We test capacitors, contactors, control boards, and wiring harnesses to pinpoint shorts, opens, or degraded connections.

After diagnostics, you receive a detailed report with recommended repairs, repair-time estimates, and parts descriptions—no surprises, no hidden fees.

DIY Troubleshooting Tips

Before calling for professional service, you can perform a few simple checks to confirm whether a repair call is needed:

• Verify power and thermostat settings.
• Inspect and replace washable air filters.
• Ensure outdoor unit is free of debris and vegetation.
• Confirm condensate drain lines are not pinched or sagging.
• Power-cycle the indoor unit via the breaker for a quick reset.

If these steps don’t restore normal operation—or if you see refrigerant oil stains, error codes, or hear abnormal sounds—our certified technicians can provide a thorough evaluation.

Preventative Maintenance for Long-Term Reliability

Annual or biannual tune-ups extend mini split lifespan and keep performance at peak levels. Routine maintenance includes:

• Filter and coil cleaning or replacement
• Refrigerant pressure and temperature verification
• Electrical connection tightening
• Drain line and drip-pan inspection
• System operation test under load
