COMMON DUCTLESS PROBLEMS
Ductless Symptoms & What They Mean
Here are the issues we see most in Upstate SC, what they often mean, and how we fix them.
Indoor Unit Dripping Water
Usually a clogged condensate drain, dirty coil, or failed condensate pump. We clear the drain, clean the coil, and verify proper drainage.
Outdoor Unit Iced Over
Defrost control faults, low refrigerant, or airflow issues. We diagnose the defrost sensor/board, check charge, and safely de-ice the unit.
Not Heating in Cold Weather
Reversing-valve or sensor issues, low charge, or defrost problems. We verify low-ambient performance and restore reliable heat.
Weak Cooling / Low Airflow
Dirty filters or coil, failing blower wheel, or fan motor issues. We clean and balance airflow and repair worn components.
Blinking Lights / Error Codes
Communication wire faults, sensor failures, or control board errors. We retrieve codes, test circuits, and correct the root cause.
Unusual Noises or Vibration
Fan imbalance, line-set contact, or icing contact. We isolate the source and prevent further damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
The diagnostic fee starts at $60, and we'll apply it toward the repair if you choose to move forward. Once we've identified the issue, we'll give you a straightforward flat-rate quote before any work begins — no surprises and no pressure.
A clogged condensate drain or dirty coil is common. Don't keep running it—water can damage walls. We clear and sanitize the drain, clean the coil, and test the pump if installed.
A light frost is normal; thick ice or a block of ice is not. That usually means defrost control, sensor, or charge issues—call for service to protect the compressor.
Blink codes point to communication, sensor, or board faults. We retrieve the code, test the related circuit, and fix the underlying issue—not just reset it.
If refrigerant is low, there's likely a leak. We find and fix the leak first, then weigh in the correct charge so the repair actually lasts.
Yes—Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, Gree, Midea, MRCOOL, and more.
Filters should be checked monthly in peak season; deep cleaning of indoor coils/blowers is typically recommended annually to maintain efficiency and air quality.
