Ductless Mini-Splits
Reliable comfort for single rooms and multi-zone systems. We keep your mini-split operating the way it should — smooth, efficient, and dependable.
How We Care for Your Mini-Split System
Ductless systems work differently from traditional HVAC equipment, which means they need a different approach to service. At Dave’s, we take the time to inspect and clean each component so your system can deliver steady, quiet comfort no matter the season.
During a service visit, we look at overall performance, airflow, system cleanliness, refrigerant balance, and communication between the indoor and outdoor units. The goal is simple: make sure every part of the system is working the way it was designed to.
What Our Technicians Look For
Every mini-split system has its own layout and quirks, so our service begins with understanding how your home uses it — whether you rely on a single unit or multiple zones.
From there, we focus on the areas that matter most:
Indoor Unit Cleaning & Airflow: The blower wheel, coil, and air pathways inside mini-split heads collect dust faster than most homeowners expect. We clean and clear these components to restore airflow and improve indoor comfort.
Drain System Check: Mini-splits generate condensation, and a blocked drain line can cause leaks or odors. We ensure the drain system is clear, properly pitched, and moving water the way it should.
Refrigerant & Performance Balance: A mini-split’s efficiency depends heavily on accurate refrigerant levels. We check pressures, temperatures, and system response to confirm everything is in balance.
Electrical & Control Review: Sensors, boards, and communication lines must operate correctly for the system to respond to the room’s needs. We test these components to make sure the system is cycling properly.
Outdoor Unit Health: We inspect the exterior coil, fan, and surrounding area for anything that could restrict airflow or reduce efficiency.
By evaluating the whole system — not just one part — we help your mini-split run smoother, quieter, and more efficiently.
Service for Multi-Zone System
For homes with several heads connected to a single outdoor unit, comfort can shift from room to room over time. We assess each zone individually to understand how air is moving, how quickly rooms reach temperature, and whether any components are working harder than they should.
This helps keep comfort consistent across every space, not just one.
Repairs When You Need Them
Mini-splits are reliable, but when something does go wrong, small issues can affect performance quickly. We handle problems ranging from weak airflow to sensor errors, communication faults, refrigerant leaks, and noisy operation.
Our technicians diagnose the issue, explain what’s happening, and fix it with care and precision — no guesswork, no unnecessary parts.
Maintenance for Seasonal and Year-Round Use
Because many ductless systems provide both heating and cooling, regular service is essential. A yearly visit helps prevent breakdowns, reduce energy use, and maintain the long-term health of the system.
Homes that run their mini-splits year-round — especially for full-time heating and cooling — often benefit from twice-a-year maintenance to keep the system performing at its best.
