Repairing Ductless HVAC Systems

Ductless mini splits provide flexible heating and cooling for homes without traditional ductwork. They’re often used to keep spaces like sunrooms, finished basements, and older homes comfortable throughout the year.

When performance starts to slip, the change is usually noticeable right away. Uneven temperatures, weak airflow, or a system that won’t keep up are clear signs that it’s time to give your mini split some professional attention.

GEM Plumbing & Heating Services, LLC, provides expert mini split repair across Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. Our experienced technicians diagnose issues quickly, explain your options clearly, and restore dependable comfort so your system works the way it should.

Dealing With Ductless Problems? We’ve Seen Them All

Whether your system isn’t heating or it’s making strange noises during the cooling season, GEM has resolved all sorts of ductless HVAC problems.

Our team has helped with countless ductless problems over the years, and you can count on us to fix them all the right way, the first time.

If your system is running but your space still feels uncomfortable, something is not working as it should. Low refrigerant, sensor issues, or compressor problems can all affect performance. Our technicians identify the root cause and restore reliable heating and cooling.

Are some rooms too warm while others stay chilly? Restricted airflow, dirty filters, or internal component issues can prevent your ductless system from distributing air evenly. We make the necessary adjustments to bring balanced comfort back to your home.

A leaking mini split unit can damage walls, floors, and ceilings if left unchecked. Clogged drain lines or frozen coils are common causes. We clear blockages, address underlying issues, and ensure proper drainage.

Buzzing, rattling, clicking, or grinding sounds are not normal. These noises often signal loose parts, electrical concerns, or motor issues. Our team inspects the system carefully and performs precise repairs to keep it running smoothly and quietly.

Short cycling can reduce efficiency and put extra strain on your system. This issue may be tied to thermostat settings, electrical components, or system sizing. We correct the problem to protect your equipment and your energy bills.

If your mini split is flashing error codes or the remote is not responding, you need clear answers fast. We diagnose communication and control issues, reset and recalibrate components, and make sure you have full control over your comfort again.

Brandon Hawkins handled our house today. Great technician.
Michael Alberto, electrician, was professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He did a fine job.
Gem has installed a new central Carrier A/c system and then, a month later, a new Carrier split system, Tim in sales is fantastic as has been every technician. We have used GEM now for a/c and plumbing (Moen Flo install followed by installation of a water pressure valve). In every case, service has been excellent. They’re expensive, for sure, but they’re quick and efficient and stand behind their work. Worth the extra expense for quality and follow-up when needed.

Dory and team did an excellent job correcting an electrical problem with our heat pump. Professional service at its best!
Efficient, thorough. Excellent work!
Excellent service by the two young men who serviced our unit.
They were sooo knowledgeable and professional
I would like to extend my gratitude to Josh and team members yesterday for going above and beyond to install a mini split in my unit. Josh was kind and patient and took the time to explain everything they did on the job and even help me with the rebate through Rhode Island Energy. I also want to thank Michael and Vince, who I worked with to get to this point. It took a little bit because of the rebate through clean heat and having the energy assessment through Rise, but, well worth the wait. I give my five star rating because GEM Is dependable and efficient with very diligent employees. I highly recommend. Thank you for everything!
Jacob did a fabulous job and actually was able to help me with a problem with my split timer, even though it was a little out of his specialty.
Very knowledgeable
Came over RIGHT AWAY to fix an issue with my heating system. THANK YOU!!
Nick repaired our ac. He did excellent work and was helpful answering any questions we had. He made sure our system was working well before he left and checked to make sure we were happy with the service. He deserves 10 stars for a job well done.
Joseph was great! Very friendly, professional, and a great communicator. He diagnosed and fixed the problem with my water heater immediately.
New resident needing plumber to improve drainage of bathroom sinks and stop leaky faucets. As first plumber I called did not call me back, I called Gem for help. William and Mark were sent to provide service within 2 hours. Problems corrected after thorough discussion of options and pricing for each. Selected the replacement option for leaking faucets, which resulted in spending more money than anticipated, but they selected good looking faucets from supplier and returned to install them. I elected to enter into a one year contract to secure HVAC service for the year, eliminating the dispatch fee. I am pleased with the new well functioning faucets. Good communication with technicians and office representative, Melissa.
