Do you service LG systems you did not install?
Yes, and most of it is. Most LG mini-splits we are called to were installed by someone else, and a fair number of the faults trace back to that installation rather than the equipment. Line set flares, drainage pitch and refrigerant charge are the first three things we check on a system we did not put in.
Are you certified to work on LG?
Yes, R.M. Mechanical is factory-certified to install and service LG equipment for residential and commercial customers, under Florida contractor license CAC1820870. That covers installation, diagnostics, and warranty work on Art Cool mini-splits, Multi F and Multi F MAX multi-zone, LGRED heat systems.
Can you handle a LG warranty claim?
Most LG mini-split warranties require installation by a certified installer. Worth checking before you buy a unit online and hire someone to fit it. We are certified, and we register the equipment we install.
What usually fails first on a LG system in Florida?
Indoor head drainage. Wall-mounted heads drain by gravity through a small line. If that line was pitched wrong when it went in, or it blocks up, the first thing you see is water running down the wall. Most of these calls are installation faults, not broken equipment.
My LG unit is cooling poorly. What should I check first?
Rule out the cheap causes before assuming the compressor is gone. Mini-split refrigerant connections are flare fittings made on site, not factory-brazed. A flare that was not cut and seated properly will weep refrigerant slowly for months. Slow capacity loss on a fairly new mini-split usually points here.
