WHY FESMIRE
Why Pueblo Homeowners Choose Our Mini-Split Repair Company
A mini-split is an indoor unit and an outdoor unit working together through refrigerant lines and a communication connection, so a symptom in the room can start outside and the reverse can be true as well. We check both ends and the link between them, which helps us avoid replacing a part that was never the real problem.
Fesmire began as a father's company and is now run by his son. For a repair, that second-generation, family-owned accountability means the people who diagnose your ductless system are the same people who answer for the diagnosis afterward. Our company story tells how we got here.
We install LG mini-splits, so ductless equipment is familiar ground for our team. A repair does not depend on the badge, though. If another contractor installed your system or it came with the house, tell us the make and model when you call and we will plan the visit around what you actually have.
We work with you every step of the way. After the diagnosis, you hear which part failed, what the repair involves and what your options are, with no surprises or hidden fees. Nothing begins until the plan makes sense to you, and the decision stays with you from start to finish.
Fesmire has been working on heating and cooling equipment since 2000. That experience helps us read the clues a ductless system gives, such as a particular blink pattern, a sound from the indoor unit or a room that never quite reaches comfort, and it lets us give you a straight answer about what is wrong.
Veterans and seniors receive 10% off when they mention it. It is the only special we run, and our Specials & Coupons page explains how it works, so mention it when you call and we will make sure it is noted on your repair.
WARNING SIGNS
Signs Your Mini-Split Needs a Repair
-
A Room That Will Not Heat or Cool the Way It Should
If the indoor unit runs but the air never changes the temperature of the room, something is keeping the system from moving heat. A dirty filter or coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failing fan motor or a faulty sensor can each be responsible. Each fix is different, so testing the system matters more than guessing.
-
Water Dripping From the Indoor Unit
Indoor units pull moisture out of the air and send it away through a condensate line. When water drips from the unit or runs down the wall, the line or drain pan may be clogged, the unit may be out of level or the coil may be icing and thawing. Turn the unit off to protect your wall and floor.
-
Blinking Lights or a Fault Display
Many ductless systems use blinking lights or a coded display to point toward a fault, such as a sensor problem, a communication error between the indoor and outdoor units or a protection shutdown. The pattern means different things on different brands, so write down what you see and share it with us when you call.
-
An Indoor Unit That Ignores the Remote
If the unit does not respond to the remote, check the batteries and the mode first. When those are fine, the cause may be a failed receiver, a control board problem or a loss of power to the unit. Because the remote, the unit and the outdoor equipment all talk to one another, we trace the signal instead of replacing parts at random.
-
Musty Smells or Unusual Noises From the Indoor Unit
A musty odor often points to moisture and debris on the coil, filter or drain pan. Rattling, clicking or a loud hum is a different matter and may mean a loose blower wheel, a worn fan motor or an electrical component under strain. A gentle airflow sound is normal, but a harsh noise deserves a call.
-
An Outdoor Unit That Is Silent, Noisy or Iced Over
The outdoor unit should start when the indoor unit calls for heating or cooling. If its fan does not turn, it hums without starting or it stays coated in ice, a failed capacitor, fan motor, sensor or refrigerant problem could be to blame. Light frost during cold weather can be a normal defrost cycle, but ice that stays is not.
Because a ductless system works through both seasons, regular mini-split maintenance and tune-ups through our residential maintenance plan help catch these problems earlier.
OUR REPAIR PROCESS
How We Track Down a Ductless Fault From Room to Rooftop
1. Listen to What Each Room Is Telling You
Your description is the first diagnostic tool we use. A mini-split can serve one room or several, so we want to know exactly where the trouble shows up before we touch the equipment.
- Ask which indoor units are affected and which ones are working normally
- Learn when the trouble began and whether it follows heating, cooling or a change of season
- Note any blinking lights, display codes or sounds you have noticed
- Confirm the brand and model from the labels on the indoor and outdoor units
- Ask about earlier repairs, power interruptions or recent cleaning of the filters
2. Inspect the Indoor Unit, Outdoor Unit and Line Set
A ductless system has components in the room, outside the home and in the refrigerant lines that join them, so we look at all three instead of judging from one.
- Check the filter, the indoor coil, the blower wheel and the louvers for dirt or damage
- Examine the condensate drain and drain pan for clogs, leaks or sagging lines
- Look over the outdoor coil, fan and cabinet, along with the clearance around the unit
- Inspect the refrigerant lines and their insulation for oil staining, frost or damage
- Look at wiring, connections and the disconnect for heat damage or looseness
3. Test the Connection and Measure Performance
Running the system lets us see the fault for ourselves and confirm it with measurements instead of assumptions.
- Operate the system and watch how the indoor and outdoor units respond to each other
- Read any fault indication on the indoor unit and compare it with the equipment's own documentation
- Measure voltage and amperage on the motors and the compressor
- Read refrigerant pressures and temperatures to judge the charge and how well the system moves heat
- Confirm that sensors, the receiver and the control board are doing their jobs
4. Name the Fault and Walk Through Your Options
Once the cause is clear, we explain it in everyday language and let you decide how to proceed.
- Name the failed part and explain why it caused the symptoms you noticed
- Describe what the repair involves and what to expect if the problem is left alone
- Lay out repair and replacement options honestly when both are reasonable
- Answer your questions about parts, brands and your existing equipment
- Provide a clear, itemized quote for the work you choose before anything begins
5. Complete the Repair and Verify With Test Readings
We finish by proving the repair worked, in the room where you first noticed the problem and across the system as a whole.
- Repair or replace the failed part and secure every electrical and refrigerant connection
- Run the system through a full cycle and confirm each indoor unit responds as it should
- Record the final test readings so the system's operation is documented
- Clean the work area and remove the old parts
- Give you a written summary of what we found, what we did and what we recommend going forward

REPAIRS WE HANDLE
Ductless Problems We Diagnose and Fix
Refrigerant Leak Detection and Repair
Low refrigerant means a leak somewhere in the system. We locate it, repair it where practical and restore the charge so the system can move heat again.
Indoor Fan Motor and Blower Repair
A worn motor or a blower wheel that is loose or dirty can leave a room starved of airflow or noisy. We diagnose the motor and wheel and repair what has failed.
Outdoor Fan Motor and Coil Service
If the outdoor fan is not spinning or the coil cannot exchange heat, the whole system struggles. We test the motor, its capacitor and the condition of the coil.
Compressor Diagnosis and Repair
Because a compressor is a major component, we confirm it is the real problem before recommending anything large. Your repair and replacement options are explained openly.
Control Board and Sensor Replacement
A failed board or sensor can shut down a healthy system or send it into a protection mode. We test the signals, confirm the fault and replace only what has failed.
Remote and Receiver Troubleshooting
When the unit ignores your commands, the remote, the receiver or the power supply to the unit may be at fault. We trace the cause and restore normal control.
Communication Wiring and Connection Repair
The indoor and outdoor units rely on wiring that carries both power and signals. We trace damaged or loose connections and repair the circuit so the two units work together again.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Mini-Split Repair FAQs for Pueblo Homeowners
A running unit that does not change the room's temperature may have a dirty filter or coil, low refrigerant from a leak, a failing fan motor or a sensor or control fault. The cause can sit in the indoor unit, the outdoor unit or the connection between them. Switch the system off and call (719) 240-5109 so we can test both ends and explain what we find.
Indoor units remove moisture as they cool, and that water normally drains away through a condensate line. Dripping usually means the line or drain pan is clogged, the unit is mounted out of level or the coil is icing and then thawing. Turn the unit off to protect your wall and floor, then call us so we can trace the actual source.
Many ductless systems use blinking lights or a coded display to point toward a fault, such as a sensor problem, a communication error between the indoor and outdoor units or a protection shutdown. The pattern differs by brand and model, so we read it against the equipment in front of us. Note what the lights are doing and tell us when you call.
Frost on the outdoor unit during cold weather can be normal when a heat pump mini-split runs its defrost cycle. Ice that stays, or ice on the indoor unit or refrigerant lines, points to an airflow, sensor or refrigerant problem. Please do not chip at it. Turn the system off, let the ice clear on its own and call us to find the cause.
A musty smell often comes from moisture and debris that have built up on the indoor coil, filter or drain pan, so the air passing over them carries the odor into the room. We find what is holding the moisture, correct the drain or coil problem and explain what routine care will keep the smell from returning.
Yes. We install LG ductless mini-splits, but we repair systems of any brand, whoever installed them. Share the make and model from the label on the indoor or outdoor unit when you call (719) 240-5109 during business hours, and we will plan the visit around your equipment. Not knowing the brand is fine, because we can identify it on site.
Confirm the remote has working batteries and is set to the right mode and temperature, check that the filter is not clogged and make sure the breaker has not tripped. Clear leaves and debris from around the outdoor unit. If nothing changes, leave the system off and call us Monday through Friday between 7am and 4pm.
It depends on what failed, how the rest of the system is doing and what you want from the room. We explain the repair first and replacement when it is a reasonable path, so you can compare the two honestly. We do not push a new system your home does not need. When replacing makes more sense, our mini-split installation service is the next step, and a call to (719) 240-5109 starts the comparison.
A mini-split has no ductwork, so airflow problems live inside each indoor unit instead of in a duct system, and the indoor and outdoor units communicate electronically. A ducted system's diagnosis centers on the air handler and ducts. We repair both types, and if you have a ducted system, see our heat pump repair page.
Yes. After we diagnose the system, we tell you which part failed, what the repair involves and what your options are. There are no surprises or hidden fees, and nothing begins until the plan makes sense to you. You decide how to proceed every time, and veterans and seniors receive 10% off when they mention it.
