Repair, Maintenance & Installation
Ductless Mini-Split Services in Kansas City
No ductwork? No problem. Ductless mini-split systems offer an flexible, energy-efficient way to heat and cool your home — room by room, on your terms. At L&M Heating & Cooling, we install, maintain, and repair ductless mini-split systems for homeowners across the KC metro. Whether you're curious about making the switch, need a tune-up, or have a system that's acting up, we're here to help.
What Is a Ductless Mini-Split?
(And Is It Right for Your Home?)
If you're not familiar with ductless mini-splits, here's the quick version: a mini-split is a heating and cooling system that works without any ductwork. It consists of an outdoor unit connected to one or more indoor air handlers mounted on the wall or ceiling of individual rooms. Each zone can be controlled independently — so you're only conditioning the spaces you're actually using, which can meaningfully lower your energy bills.
Ductless Mini-splits Work Best When:
01
Homes without existing ductwork
Such as additions, older homes, or detached structures like garages or workshops
02
Room additions or sunrooms
Spaces that your main system doesn't reach well
03
Supplemental heating and cooling
Targeting rooms that are always too hot or too cold
04
Multi-family or rental units
Giving individual control over each living space
05
Homeowners who want room-by-room control
set different temperatures in different spaces without fighting over the thermostat
Something Off With Your Mini-Split? We'll Track It Down.
Mini-splits are reliable systems, but like any equipment they can run into problems — especially if maintenance has been skipped or the system has been running hard through a KC summer or winter. L&M's technicians are experienced with all major mini-split makes and models and will diagnose the issue quickly and give you a straight answer on the fix.
Common issues we repair:
-
Not heating or cooling — the most obvious sign something needs attention
-
Spiking energy bills — a system working harder than it should is a sign something's wrong
-
Leaking water — usually caused by a clogged condensate drain or frozen coils
-
Ice buildup on the unit — often a refrigerant or airflow issue
-
Refrigerant leaks — affects both performance and efficiency
-
Remote or controls not responding — electrical failures
-
Unusual noises — rattling, hissing, or grinding all mean it's time to call
Same-day and emergency service available
Keep It Running Strong — Year After Year
One of the biggest advantages of a ductless mini-split is its longevity — with proper care, these systems can last up to 20 years. But that lifespan depends on regular maintenance. Because mini-splits run year-round for both heating and cooling, we recommend scheduling a tune-up twice a year: once in the fall before heating season and once in the spring before the KC summer heat arrives.
What our Mini-Split tune-up includes:
✓
Clean the indoor air handler filters
dirty filters restrict airflow and strain the system; this is the single most impactful maintenance task
✓
Inspect and clean the indoor and outdoor coils
for efficient heat transfer and peak performance
✓
Check refrigerant levels
low refrigerant hurts both heating and cooling output
✓
Inspect the condensate drain
to prevent clogs, leaks, and mold buildup
✓
Test electrical connections and components
to catch potential failures early
✓
Check the remote and control functions
to make sure the system responds correctly
✓
Evaluate overall system efficiency
so you know exactly how your mini-split is performing

Another company told me my 24-year-old furnace couldn't be repaired and recommended replacing the entire system. Morgan found the needed part within an hour, explained all my options with zero pressure, and ultimately installed a better HVAC system at a lower cost than the competing quote. Exceptional service from start to finish.

Morgan was exceptionally thorough, providing detailed notes and pictures to explain everything he was seeing. He sat down with us and actually taught us a lot about the basic workings needed to make an informed decision about next steps. He presented three great options to address some pretty big issues, and his pricing is way better than other companies that are more about money than people. We'll definitely be sticking with L&M!

Morgan is as nice and honest as they come. AC and furnace swap in 6 hours, very well done and well under competitor quotes. Give them a call!

I already had two HVAC companies in line to inspect our situation and was looking for a third. Morgan not only met my expectations but exceeded them. He was able to fit us in on VERY short notice and took so much time actually explaining everything to us as he went along in his inspection. His knowledge base alone is reason enough to consider L&M Heating and Cooling. Beyond that, you are getting an individual who obviously cares about the work he is doing and the people he is serving. L&M has been added to my preferred vendor list and shared with my team of Realtors serving all of Missouri & Kansas.

Mitchell M.
L&M Heating and Cooling provided me an honest assessment of the condition of my units. After consulting with Morgan, we decided the best solution was to replace the unit and within 24 hours from the call, he had a complete heating & cooling install finished and operating perfectly. Morgan even went out of his way to repair damages not in the initial estimation 'because they weren't up to his standard.' A true professional in every way! One of the best experiences I've had with a contractor.
