Comprehensive Solutions for All Your Mini Split Issues

A mini-split system can exhibit various symptoms when a problem arises. Our diagnostic process is designed to accurately pinpoint the root cause of any issue, ensuring we perform the right repair the first time. We handle a complete range of mini-split malfunctions.

Mini Split Not Cooling or Blowing Warm Air

One of the most common and frustrating issues is a lack of cool air. This can stem from several problems, including a refrigerant leak, a failing compressor, a malfunctioning fan motor, or excessively dirty coils that impede heat exchange. Our technicians meticulously check refrigerant levels using precise gauges, perform electronic leak detection to find the source of any loss, and inspect the compressor and fan components for electrical or mechanical failure.

Mini Split Leaking Water

Water dripping from the indoor unit is a clear sign of a problem, typically related to the condensate drainage system. A clog in the drain line is the most frequent cause, leading to a backup that overflows the drain pan. In other cases, a frozen evaporator coil or an improperly installed unit can cause water leakage. We thoroughly clear any blockages in the condensate line, check for proper drainage slope, and diagnose any issues causing the coil to freeze.

Strange Noises from Your Mini Split

Your mini-split should operate quietly. Sudden rattling, buzzing, hissing, or grinding sounds indicate a problem that requires immediate attention. Rattling can be caused by loose components or debris in the unit, while buzzing often points to an electrical issue or a failing capacitor. A grinding noise is a serious symptom that could signal a problem with the fan motor bearings. We carefully inspect and secure all components and diagnose the source of any mechanical or electrical noise.

Electrical Faults and Power Issues

If your mini-split fails to turn on, turns on and off repeatedly (short cycling), or trips the circuit breaker, an electrical fault is the likely culprit. This could be due to a faulty power supply, a wiring issue between the indoor and outdoor units, a malfunctioning control board, or a failing capacitor. Our technicians are skilled in safely diagnosing these complex electrical problems, tracing the fault to its source and performing the necessary repairs to restore safe operation.

Mini Split Displaying Error Codes

Modern mini-splits use error codes to self-diagnose and communicate problems. While these codes provide a starting point, they often require professional interpretation to determine the exact failure. Whether it's a sensor malfunction, a communication error between units, or an internal component failure, we have the diagnostic tools and technical knowledge to decipher these codes and address the specific underlying issue.

Our Meticulous Mini Split Repair Process

We believe in a structured and transparent repair process that keeps you informed and confident from start to finish. Our goal is to provide a seamless service experience that resolves your issue with minimal disruption.

  1. Thorough Diagnostic Assessment: Our process begins with a comprehensive inspection of both the indoor and outdoor units. We use advanced diagnostic equipment to test system pressures, electrical components, and overall performance to accurately identify the root cause of the failure.
  2. Clear Explanation of Findings: Once the problem is identified, our technician will explain the issue to you in clear, understandable terms. We detail what has failed, why it failed, and what is required to fix it, ensuring you have all the information you need.
  3. Efficient & Professional Repair: Upon your approval, our technician will proceed with the repair. We use high-quality replacement parts that meet or exceed manufacturer specifications to ensure a durable and reliable solution. Our work is performed efficiently and with great care for your home.
  4. Post-Repair Performance Testing: After the repair is complete, we don't just pack up and leave. We conduct a full operational test of the system to verify that it is cooling effectively, operating at the correct pressures, and cycling properly. This quality assurance step confirms that the repair was successful and your system is running at its best.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Ductless System

A common question homeowners face is whether to invest in a repair or consider a full system replacement. Several factors can help guide this decision. The age of your system is a primary consideration; if your mini-split is over 12-15 years old, a replacement may be more cost-effective in the long run. The frequency and cost of recent repairs are also important. If you are facing another expensive repair on an older unit that has had previous issues, the money might be better invested in a new, more efficient system. Finally, consider the unit's energy efficiency. Newer models offer significantly higher SEER ratings, which can lead to substantial savings on your energy bills, helping to offset the initial investment. We can provide an honest assessment to help you make the best choice for your home and budget.

Customer Reviews

We recently moved to Florida and needed major repairs to our church. After researching several companies, I went with Sunstate and I’m so thankful I did. Joe came out and provided us with the information necessary to make an informed decision and provided a reasonable estimate. We had a new unit installed, duct work repaired, and new thermostat installed. If you’re reading this review and wondering who to trust for your AC needs, please call Sunstate.

Great job replacing both the condensing unit and air-handler.  Moved the air-handler from the attic to the garage and re-designed and installed new duct work to accommodate the move.  Works great and no more worries about overflowing drain pan damaging the ceiling and wood floors.  Not to mention making it easier to maintain the AH unit.  The guys worked through the night to make sure the AC was back on before they left the job.   Thanks for a job well done.

Sunstate mechanical is truly the best contractors I have experienced since I moved into my house 30 years ago.  I have been dealing with Joe and his crew for over 11 years now. They are a trustworthy, respectful, experienced crew who works with you and gives you a fair value.  They just completed a big job replacing my A/C, gas furnance and condenser.  They did an excellent job, no short cuts, made sure everything was functional, and cleaned up the area nicely before they left.

Sunstate Mechanical are absolutely one of the best.  I have had two new units installed from them, and the work they did was spectacular.  The crew was prompt (even called ahead to confirm the appointment), incredibly professional, and they left the area around the air handler somehow cleaner than when they arrived.  I have had no issues with my units over the years because Sunstate Mechanical took the time to do it right the first time.
