Mini-split leaking water
Clogged head drain, not a “bad unit.”
Indoor heads weep when the drain hose is kinked in the wall. We check that before we talk replacement.
A mini-split is the honest answer when ducts cannot reach an addition, ADU, or garage conversion cleanly.
If the search that brought you here was “mini split leaking water,” start with a test, not a replacement pitch.
We size the head to the room, check outdoor clearance and electrical, and estimate in-home for free. One oversized head short-cycles just like a bad central unit.
On this call we confirm the symptom you described — mini-split leaking water — before we open a price book.
You approve any repair after the findings are written down. Diagnostic visits are a flat $69. New installation estimates are free in-home with a load calculation — not a number invented from square footage on Zillow.
Extending leaky ducts 40 feet through an attic is often worse comfort per dollar than a ductless head.
A company that skips testing on mini split leaking water will skip it on the next call too. We would rather lose a job than install the wrong thing.
