Mini-Split Repair for Richmond homes

Richmond homes run their systems hard — winter lows around 1–4 °C and summer highs of 21–25 °C mean equipment here rarely gets a quiet season. Extensive high-rise and townhome development through City Centre and Brighouse, 1970s–90s single-family homes across Broadmoor and Terra Nova, and heritage and newer homes in Steveston. That mix is why we carry parts for both older and current equipment on the van.

A large share of older Lower Mainland housing — character homes, beach cottages, post-war bungalows — has no ductwork at all. Ductless is what makes those homes coolable without gutting them.

When to call

Signs you need mini-split repair

  • One indoor head has stopped responding while the others work
  • Water dripping from an indoor unit
  • The outdoor unit runs but the heads deliver nothing
  • Error codes on the head or remote
  • A musty smell when the system starts

Recognise any of these? Call us at (604) 572-7944 — the sooner we look at it, the smaller the repair usually is.

Our process

How a repair call works

  1. You call, we book

    A person answers and gives you a real arrival window — not a nine-hour range.

  2. Full diagnostic

    We test the system rather than guessing from the symptom, so the fault we fix is the one you actually have.

  3. Price before work

    You get the cost and the options in plain language, and you decide before anything is opened up.

  4. Repair and verify

    We complete the repair, then run the system and confirm it performs the way it should before we leave.

Local knowledge

What we watch for in Richmond

Built on the Fraser delta at close to sea level, Richmond is the mildest city we serve. Ocean influence keeps both extremes in check, but it comes with wind and salt air.

  • Richmond sits at or near sea level with a very high water table. Crawlspaces flood more readily here than anywhere else we work, so furnace and ductwork placement has to account for it.
  • Steveston and western Richmond get direct salt exposure off the Strait — coastal-rated outdoor equipment is not an upsell here, it's what makes the warranty hold.
  • City Centre's tower density means most work is strata-governed, with restrictions on exterior penetrations and balcony equipment that shape what's actually installable.

The City of Richmond issues mechanical and building permits, and gas fitting is regulated by Technical Safety BC. We manage permitting and strata documentation.
