Spring Lake Park is one of the smaller cities in the metro, built mostly during the postwar years with modest ramblers on tight, flat lots. Many of these homes have relied on the same ductless mini split for a decade or more to cool additions and rooms the original systems never quite reached. O’Boys Plumbing, Heating & Air has repaired mini splits throughout Spring Lake Park for more than 25 years.

We had a great experience with O’Boys. We had a furnace tune-up done, and Chad was really knowledgeable and informative. He walked us through options and pricing, and helped us understand what to expect with our furnace in the coming years. We look forward to working with O’Boys again.

How We Repair Mini Splits in Spring Lake Park

We start every visit by reviewing your system’s age and original installation, since many Spring Lake Park homes have relied on the same mini split for years without a full inspection. Our technicians check refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and drainage as standard steps.

Once we’ve identified the issue, we complete the repair and test the system under full load to confirm proper performance. Because so many homes here sit on smaller, tightly packed lots, we also check the outdoor unit’s clearance and airflow as part of every visit.

We finish by explaining our findings and sharing maintenance tips suited to your home.
