How we repair your Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump
A ductless mini-split heat pump uses an inverter outdoor unit and room heads to both heat and cool individual zones without ducts. A ductless mini-split heat pump relies on a heat source, safety controls such as limit switches and flame sensors, blowers or circulator pumps, and a thermostat. A technician checks the ignition and safety sequence, airflow or water flow, and electrical controls.

Common Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump problems we fix
What usually causes each symptom, and what our technician checks to confirm it.
Ice building on the base of the outdoor unit
- Likely causes
- A failed base pan heater, a unit mounted too low, or poor drainage under the unit.
- What our technician checks
- The base pan heater is tested and the mounting height and drainage path are evaluated.
Not heating in cold weather
- Likely causes
- An outdoor unit iced over from a failed defrost cycle, a blocked base pan drain freezing the coil, or low refrigerant.
- What our technician checks
- The technician checks defrost operation and sensors, inspects the base pan heater and drain, and reads pressures.
Outdoor unit stops and steams
- Likely causes
- A normal defrost cycle, or repeated defrosting caused by a faulty defrost sensor or low charge.
- What our technician checks
- Defrost frequency and sensor values are checked against specifications.
Head dripping water in heat mode
- Likely causes
- Condensation from a recent cooling cycle draining poorly, or a clogged drain line.
- What our technician checks
- The drain line and tray are inspected and flushed.
Indoor head blowing cold at start of heat
- Likely causes
- Normal warm start delay, or a failed indoor coil sensor that keeps the fan running too early.
- What our technician checks
- The coil thermistor is tested and startup sequence timing is observed.
Error codes on one head of a multi-zone system
- Likely causes
- A failed electronic expansion valve for that zone, a communication wire fault, or a bad indoor board.
- What our technician checks
- Zone wiring is tested, the expansion valve coil is checked, and the indoor board is diagnosed.
Quick checks you can do safely
- Confirm the remote is set to heat mode and the target temperature is above room temperature.
- Clean the washable filters in each head.
- Clear snow from around and under the outdoor unit.
- Wait through a defrost cycle of a few minutes before calling.
- Note error codes or light patterns on the affected head.
Safety first: Inverter boards hold high voltage after shutoff and refrigerant work must be done by an EPA-certified technician.
