Plymouth is home to more than a dozen lakes, including Medicine Lake and Parkers Lake, and its neighborhoods span everything from 1960s homes to brand new construction. That range means ductless mini splits throughout the city face very different demands depending on a home’s age and how close it sits to the water. O’Boys Plumbing, Heating & Air has repaired mini splits across Plymouth for more than 25 years.
With homes of so many different ages scattered across Plymouth, mini split issues can show up in a variety of ways. These are the signs our technicians see most.
If your system shows any of these, scheduling a repair sooner rather than later can prevent a bigger breakdown.
We start by reviewing the age and setup of your system, since Plymouth’s mix of decades old homes and newer builds near the lakes means installations vary quite a bit across the city. Our technicians check refrigerant levels, wiring, and drainage before making a diagnosis.
Once we’ve identified the issue, we complete the repair and test the unit under full load to confirm it’s performing correctly. For homes closer to Medicine Lake or Parkers Lake, we pay extra attention to condensate drainage, since humidity tends to run higher near the water.
We finish every visit by explaining what we found and offering guidance suited to your home’s age and location.
Given the range of home ages and lake proximity across the city, a handful of issues come up often.
Our technicians take the time to identify the actual cause rather than just addressing the symptoms.
A homeowner named Eric near the Parkers Lake area called us when his mini split started shutting off every few minutes instead of running a full cycle. Our technician found a failing capacitor, a common issue in units that have been running for several years without maintenance.
After replacing the part and testing the system through a full cycle, the unit ran smoothly again without cutting out. Eric asked what he could do to avoid future breakdowns, so our technician suggested a yearly checkup to catch aging components before they fail.
Across Plymouth’s many lakes and neighborhoods, homeowners choose us for a consistent set of reasons.
No matter which part of Plymouth you call home, we bring the same level of care to every job.
