Professional Mini Split Installation and Replacement

A successful mini-split experience begins with a flawless installation. A system that is improperly sized or incorrectly installed will struggle with efficiency, fail to provide adequate comfort, and be prone to premature breakdowns. Our installation process is thorough and tailored to your specific needs. We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your comfort goals, assess your home’s layout, and recommend the right system, whether it’s a single-zone unit for one area or a multi-zone system for whole-home comfort.

Our certified technicians handle every step with precision, from strategically placing the indoor and outdoor units to ensuring all connections are secure and the system is calibrated for optimal performance. If you have an aging or inefficient system, we can guide you through the replacement process, helping you select a modern, high-efficiency model that will lower your energy bills and elevate your comfort.

Reliable Mini Split Repair in Plano

Even the most dependable mini-split systems can experience issues. When your ductless unit isn't performing as it should, you need a prompt and accurate diagnosis from a team that understands the complexities of this technology. Our technicians are trained to service all major brands and models, arriving with the tools and expertise needed to identify the root cause of the problem quickly.

Be alert for common signs that your mini-split needs professional attention:

  • Inadequate Heating or Cooling: The unit runs, but the air isn't the right temperature.
  • Water Leaks: Puddles forming near the indoor or outdoor unit can indicate a clogged condensate line or other issues.
  • Strange Noises: Grinding, rattling, or buzzing sounds are not normal and point to mechanical problems.
  • Increased Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your utility costs may mean your system is working inefficiently.
  • Frequent Cycling: The unit turns on and off more often than usual.
  • Ice or Frost Buildup: Frost on the coils can severely hinder performance.

We address these issues and more, using quality parts to ensure our repairs are durable and effective, restoring your system to peak condition.

Preventative Mini Split Maintenance for Peak Performance

The single most effective way to protect your investment and ensure your mini-split runs efficiently for years to come is through regular, professional maintenance. A ductless system’s filters, coils, and fins require periodic cleaning to maintain proper airflow and heat exchange. Our comprehensive maintenance tune-ups are designed to catch small issues before they become expensive breakdowns, extend the lifespan of your equipment, and keep your energy bills low.

During a maintenance visit, our technicians will meticulously inspect, clean, and test all critical components of your system, including cleaning filters and coils, checking refrigerant levels, clearing the condensate drain line, testing electrical connections, and ensuring overall system performance. This proactive care not only improves reliability but also helps maintain healthy indoor air quality.

Making an Informed Decision About Your Mini Split

We believe in empowering homeowners with the information they need to make the best choices for their comfort and budget. Understanding the factors behind service costs and knowing when to repair versus replace are key to managing your home’s HVAC system effectively.

Factors Influencing Service Costs

The cost of a mini-split service can vary based on several factors. The type of service required is the primary driver; a routine maintenance visit will differ in scope and cost from a complex repair like a refrigerant leak or compressor replacement. Other factors include the number of indoor units connected to the system, the age and overall condition of the equipment, and the accessibility of the indoor and outdoor components. We provide clear, upfront assessments so you understand the work required before we begin.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Ductless System

Deciding whether to repair an aging mini-split or invest in a new one is a significant decision. As a general guideline, consider the system's age. Most mini-splits have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching or has surpassed this range and requires a major repair, replacement is often the more financially sound option.

A useful rule of thumb is to weigh the cost of the repair against the value of the unit. If a repair costs a significant portion of what a new, more energy-efficient system would, investing that money into new technology will likely save you more in the long run through lower energy bills and avoided future repair costs. Frequent breakdowns and difficulty sourcing parts are also strong indicators that it’s time to consider a replacement.

"I am so impressed with Burnside!!! I will never even consider using anyone else. I was u def a lot of pressure and the heating system was not working correctly and they found a minor inexpensive solution. Another local vendor charged way more for a similar situation. I immediately sighed up for their annual program. God bless them."
