Why Us
When your mini split system needs specialized care
When your mini split system malfunctions in Ravenel, it quickly impacts your comfort in the specific spaces that depend on it. Whether it’s your sunroom overheating during summer, your home office losing heating capability in winter, or unusual noises disrupting your peace, mini split problems require specialized expertise for proper diagnosis and repair.
What our mini split repair service includes
Specialized diagnostic technology
Mini splits require unique testing equipment different from conventional systems. Our technicians use advanced diagnostic tools specifically designed for inverter-driven systems, including specialized pressure gauges, electrical testers, and refrigerant charging equipment that provide accurate readings for these precision systems.
Mini split-specific expertise
Our repair technicians receive extensive training on the complex electronics and refrigerant circuits unique to ductless systems. This specialized knowledge means faster, more accurate diagnosis and more effective repairs of issues like communication errors, inverter problems, and electronic expansion valve failures that general HVAC technicians often misdiagnose.
Quality replacement components
We use only manufacturer-recommended replacement parts that match your system’s specifications exactly. These quality components ensure compatibility with your system’s electronics and control logic, providing better reliability than generic alternatives.
Complete system evaluation
When repairing your mini split, we check both indoor and outdoor units thoroughly, not just the component that’s obviously malfunctioning. This comprehensive approach often identifies developing issues before they cause additional failures, saving you from future service calls.
“Our mini split in our converted garage workshop stopped cooling completely during a project deadline. Two other companies couldn’t figure out the problem, but Blanton & Sons diagnosed a failed electronic expansion valve within minutes of testing. They had the component on their truck, completed the repair that afternoon, and saved both my project and my expensive woodworking materials from heat damage.”

At Blanton & Sons, we’ve been providing expert mini split repairs for Ravenel homeowners since 1998, solving complex ductless system issues that many general HVAC companies struggle to properly address.
Warning signs your mini split needs professional repair
Error codes on display
When your system displays flashing lights or numeric codes on the indoor unit, it’s communicating specific problems that require professional interpretation. These codes provide valuable diagnostic information that helps us pinpoint issues quickly.
Water leaking from indoor unit
While some condensation is normal, active dripping or leaking indicates drainage problems, improper installation slope, or in some cases, refrigerant issues. What seems like “just water” can actually signal serious system issues or create conditions for mold growth and property damage.
Insufficient cooling or heating
When your mini split runs but doesn’t adequately condition your space, you likely have refrigerant issues, airflow restrictions, or inverter/compressor problems. Unlike conventional systems, mini splits require precise refrigerant charges measured by weight rather than pressure alone.
Ice formation on outdoor unit
While some frost during winter operation is normal, excessive ice buildup or failure to defrost properly indicates specific problems with defrost controls, sensors, or refrigerant circuit that require professional attention.
How you benefit from professional mini split repair
Restored efficiency Many mini split problems cause systems to consume excess electricity while delivering poor performance. One Ravenel family couldn’t understand why their electric bills had increased by nearly $100 monthly despite normal usage—our technician discovered their mini split’s inverter circuit was malfunctioning, causing the compressor to run at maximum speed constantly instead of modulating for efficiency. After proper repair, their next month’s bill returned to normal levels.
Extended system lifespan Mini split air systems typically last 15-20 years with proper care, but improper repairs or neglected issues can cut this lifespan in half. Professional repairs help maintain your system’s expected service life, postponing the considerable expense of premature replacement.
Improved comfort When your mini split is properly repaired, it restores the targeted comfort these systems are known for. Professional repairs address actual root causes rather than just treating symptoms, ensuring your system maintains precise temperature control and effective humidity management in your specific spaces.
Indoor air quality Many performance problems affect your mini split’s ability to filter air and control humidity effectively. Addressing these issues helps reduce dust accumulation, allergen circulation, and excess moisture that can contribute to mold growth—particularly important in Ravenel’s naturally humid climate.

What Our Customers Say
Anthony and James installed my new heat pump and were wonderful. They removed the old system, cleaned up the mess and installed the new system, checked the flow out of the vents and the air and heat. They were professional, pleasant, and thorough. This is our second house using Blanton and Sons and continue to be pleased.
Julia O.
Blanton & Sons crew recently removed our old ac and duct work, then installed a new mini split system. They have been a pleasure to deal with; prompt, ready to answer any questions my husband or I had, efficient, friendly, and knowledgeable. Just like with any big job there have been little tweaks to work out and they have been quick and ready to resolve any issue. Really enjoyed dealing with them. Thank you to the whole staff for your professionalism and kindness, all the way from the office to the install team!

Andrew did a thorough job on our furnace tuneup. He was very professional and explained what all he did in an informative, understandable way. He was very helpful in explaining our smart digital thermostat to us. We appreciated Andrew coming out.
