From a single mini-split to a full commercial system, we diagnose right the first time.
We know Clovis specifically. The 93619 ZIP, the uninsulated ductwork in 2000s-era builds, the low-NOx requirements that out-of-area contractors miss. Our response time to Clovis neighborhoods — from the older homes near 93612 to the newer developments in 93619 — means we’re typically on-site within hours, not days, when your compressor burns out in a 110°F July stretch.
Our Heat Pump & Mini Split Services in Clovis
Heat Pump Repair
We replaced a failing builder-grade 3-ton heat pump in a 3,200 sq ft two-story tract home near the intersection of Locan Avenue and Temperance Avenue in Clovis (93619). The original Goodman unit had a burned-out compressor from running 18+ hours daily during July with the thermostat set on 72°F but the second floor still reaching 88°F. We installed a 5-ton Carrier multi-zone heat pump with dampers and a ductless mini-split in the master bedroom to finally balance the temperature. This is the most common call we get in northeast Clovis — not a mysterious failure, but a predictable one we’ve seen dozens of times.
Heat Pump Installation
Right-sizing matters enormously in Clovis. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s Rule 4905 mandates low-NOx equipment that many out-of-area installers aren’t familiar with. We’ve seen contractors from coastal markets spec standard furnaces that can’t pass local inspection. We know which Carrier, Rheem, and Lennox models comply with Clovis requirements and which ones will leave you with a red tag and a second installation bill. For the large two-story homes in 93619, we regularly spec multi-zone systems with zoning dampers rather than single-zone replacements that repeat the original problem.
Mini Split Install
Mini-split installation is our fastest-growing service in Clovis, and for good reason. In the large two-story homes of northeast Clovis (93619), single-zone builder systems consistently produce a scorching upper floor versus a tolerable ground floor complaint every summer. Local techs know this pattern so well that many lead with a zoning damper or mini-split addition to the master suite level before even discussing full system replacement. A ductless mini-split gives you independent temperature control for that 88°F master bedroom without replacing the entire downstairs system. We install Daikin, Lennox, and Carrier mini-splits with inverter-driven compressors that handle Clovis’s 105°F+ stretches without the constant on-off cycling that kills standard units.
Mini Split Repair
Mini-splits fail differently in Clovis than in milder climates. The refrigerant lines run longer in two-story installations, and the outdoor condensers sit in direct sun on stucco exteriors that radiate heat back at the unit. We see failed inverter boards, refrigerant leaks at flare connections, and clogged condensate drains from the hard water common in eastern Fresno County. Our technicians carry replacement boards and flare tools for the brands we service, so most Clovis mini-split repairs don’t require a parts order and return visit.
Multi-Zone System Design
Multi-zone systems are the right answer for most 2,500–4,000 sq ft Clovis homes built in the 1995–2010 boom. One outdoor unit feeds multiple indoor zones, each with its own thermostat. We can zone by floor, by wing, or by problem room. For a typical 93619 two-story, that often means three zones: downstairs living area, upstairs bedrooms, and a dedicated mini-split for the master suite that gets afternoon sun. This avoids the all-too-common Clovis scenario where the downstairs reaches 72°F and shuts off the system while the upstairs still bakes.

Trusted Brands We Service in Clovis
We service your brand. Our technicians are factory-trained or field-experienced across nine major HVAC brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. For Clovis customers, this matters because we stock common parts for the Goodman units that dominate 2000s tract homes and the Carrier and Rheem models we most often recommend for replacements. We don’t push one manufacturer because we’re not tied to one supplier. We match the equipment to your home’s specific load, your budget, and the low-NOx compliance requirements that Clovis installations must meet. Fast turnaround on parts means less time sweating through a July heat wave while waiting for a coastal warehouse to ship.
Common Heat Pump & Mini Split Problems We See in Clovis Homes
- Compressor burnout from undersized single-zone systems. Builder-grade heat pumps in 2,500–4,000 sq ft two-story homes were frequently sized for the main floor only. Running 18+ hours daily through July–September at 105°F+ burns out compressors within 10–12 years. We see this constantly in 93619 and eastern 93611.
- Low-NOx compliance failures from out-of-area installers. SJVAPCD Rule 4905 restricts furnace and heat pump equipment selection to specific low-NOx models. Contractors from coastal California markets often spec standard equipment that fails Clovis inspection. We’ve been called to replace improperly installed systems that never should have passed.
- Leaky, uninsulated ductwork causing short-cycling. Ductwork in 2000s-era tract homes is often uninsulated and leaky, especially at attic connections. Heat pumps short-cycle, fail to cool upper floors, and waste enormous energy even when properly sized for total square footage. Duct sealing and insulation remediation is often the most cost-effective first step.
- Refrigerant leaks at mini-split flare connections. Clovis’s hard water and thermal expansion stress flare joints in ductless installations. Low refrigerant causes icing, poor cooling, and eventual compressor damage. We pressure-test and re-flare rather than just topping off, because the leak always returns.

FAQs — Heat Pump & Mini Split in Clovis
Your upstairs is 8–12°F hotter because your home was likely built with a single-zone system sized for the main floor only, and the ductwork can’t move enough conditioned air to the second story. In Clovis’s 93619 ZIP, this is the most common complaint we hear. Adding a zoning damper system or a dedicated mini-split to the master suite level often solves it without replacing the entire downstairs unit. Call (844) 875-9451 and we’ll assess your ductwork layout — estimates are free.
Yes. The San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District’s Rule 4905 mandates low-NOx equipment throughout the region, including all Clovis ZIP codes: 93611, 93612, 93613, and 93619. Not all heat pumps qualify. We’ve seen out-of-area contractors install standard equipment that fails inspection. We spec compliant Carrier, Rheem, and Lennox models that pass Clovis permitting the first time. Call (844) 875-9451 to confirm your replacement meets local code.
Yes, and it’s often the most cost-effective solution for the 88°F master bedroom problem common in northeast Clovis. A single-zone mini-split gives you independent temperature control without replacing your main system. We regularly install Daikin and Carrier ductless units in 93619 two-stories where the downstairs system works fine but the upstairs never cools. Typical range: $3,500–$5,500 installed. Call (844) 875-9451 for exact sizing based on your room dimensions and sun exposure.
Twice yearly — once before the cooling season (April–May) and once before heating season (October–November). Clovis’s 100–110°F summer stretches and dusty valley air mean your heat pump works harder than systems in milder climates. Our $80–$200 tune-up includes coil cleaning, refrigerant level check, electrical connection inspection, and ductwork assessment for the leaks common in 2000s-era tract homes. Call (844) 875-9451 to schedule.
We most often recommend Carrier and Rheem for full-system replacements, and Daikin or Lennox for mini-split additions. Carrier’s multi-zone heat pumps pair well with zoning dampers for the large 93619 two-stories. Rheem offers strong low-NOx compliance options at competitive pricing. For mini-splits, Daikin’s inverter technology handles Clovis’s extreme heat cycles without the efficiency loss that plagues lesser units. We don’t push one brand — we match equipment to your home’s specific load, ductwork condition, and budget. Call (844) 875-9451 to discuss options.
