A ductless mini-split system offers great efficiency and comfort—when installed properly. At Champion and Nash, we’ve handled hundreds of ductless installations across Houston. We’ve seen the most common mistakes, and we know how to prevent them. Here are four key issues we solve during every installation.
Improper Indoor Unit Placement
Improper Indoor Unit Placement
Where the indoor air handler is mounted plays a huge role in how effectively the system can cool or heat a room. Poor placement—like near doors, windows, or blocked corners—can cause uneven airflow, temperature imbalance, and inefficient cycling. We assess your room layout, furniture placement, and insulation to determine the best location for each unit.

Drainage and Condensate Issues
Where a ductless indoor unit is placed has a direct impact on how well it heats or cools the space. If it’s too close to a ceiling, in a corner, near a window, or above a heat-producing appliance, it won’t be able to circulate air evenly. You may end up with drafts, warm spots, or cool areas that never reach the temperature you set. At Champion and Nash, we take the time to assess the layout of each room and strategically place each unit to provide consistent comfort without wasting energy. We consider airflow, furniture placement, and the way your household uses the space—because placement matters.
Just like with central HVAC systems, ductless units need to be sized properly to work efficiently. If a system is undersized, it’ll struggle to keep up on hot or cold days, running constantly and wearing down the components faster. If it’s oversized, it may cycle on and off too frequently—wasting energy and leading to uneven temperatures. At Champion and Nash, we calculate the correct size for every system we install based on your square footage, insulation, ceiling height, number of occupants, and more. A perfectly sized system performs better, lasts longer, and saves you money.

Refrigerant lines are essential to the operation of any ductless HVAC system, but if they’re too long, too short, kinked, or poorly insulated, your system’s performance will suffer. We’ve seen systems that work harder than they should—or fail completely—because of careless line installations. Our team ensures refrigerant lines are correctly routed, sealed, and insulated for maximum efficiency and reliability. We follow best practices for every install, minimizing bends and protecting the lines from potential damage.
Condensate Drainage Problems
Every ductless unit produces condensation when it’s running in cooling mode. That water needs to be drained away properly—or else you risk leaks, mold, and water damage. Incorrect drainage setups, clogged lines, or missing traps can all lead to big headaches. At Champion and Nash, we take the time to get the slope, outlet placement, and safety features right. We’ll ensure your system drains consistently and safely, without pooling water or hidden leaks.
