Mario confirmed the drain line was clogged. He cleared it using a brush, a gallon of cleaner, and a gallon of water. He also noted major growth particles accumulating all around the blower compartment, so the unit is in high need of maintenance and a mini-split blower cleaning.

Mario & Bernard
March 2026
A Cary homeowner reached out with heating and cooling concerns for the mini split serving their basement.
Mario observed the unit going out on an H0 fault code for Compressor Fault. He had started the diagnostic by making a call for cool and heat at the thermostat and checking operations, then called Daikin tech support, which confirmed that both the boards and the compressor were bad. Mario left the unit off and went over all options and recommendations with the homeowner, who will be reviewing the estimates.
They were able to service my mini split system quickly. Mario did a great job diagnosing the problem and presenting me with all the options without pressuring me into a decision one way or the other. He explained to me what the problem was and showed me the evidence so I could trust his diagnosis.
