The repair-visit split, stated head-on first
| Frame | What it counts | 2026 band |
|---|---|---|
| Frame A | ductless mini-split row | $350-$1,200 |
| Frame B | mini-split typical row | $150-$650 |
| Frame B | compressor row | $800-$2,000+ |
| Frame C | compressor row | $1,500-$2,800 |
| Frame B | drain line row | $75-$200 |
This cluster prices mini-split repair alone -- the single ductless repair visit as the whole purchase, priced by problem on the by-problem guide and read against the replacement ticket on the repair-vs-replacement guide. Named apart, never a row here: the ductless mini-split installation hub, its own field as an installation field pricing a new system going in; central-air systems, a separate class on their own guides; window and portable units, separate classes; and whole-system replacement, a new system purchase read on the repair-vs-replacement guide under each frame separately and by system form.
Frame A lines, as reported: the Angi frame
| Frame A line, as printed | 2026 band |
|---|---|
| Ductless mini-split, system-type table | $350-$1,200 |
| Mini-split repair, unit-type row as filed | $300-$550 |
| Leak seal or valve replacement | $150-$500 |
| Refrigerant recharge | $150-$500 |
| Central air, apart | $450-$2,000 |
Frame A counts the visit by system type and leak line, its ductless row standing against its central-air row at $450-$2,000, a separate class named apart.
Frame B and Frame C lines, as reported
| Frame line, as printed | 2026 band |
|---|---|
| Frame B compressor | $800-$2,000+ |
| Frame C compressor | $1,500-$2,800 |
| Frame B control board | $400-$900 |
| Frame C leak | $300-$1,000 |
| Frame B drain line | $75-$200 |
Frame B counts one repair visit by problem and Frame C counts the same visit by part as a corroborating third frame, each row standing in its own frame. The frames count the same compressor differently -- Frame B reads the compressor at $800-$2,000+ as a problem band, while Frame C reads the compressor at $1,500-$2,800 as a part band, and the drain line stands at $75-$200 in Frame B with no Frame A line of its own. Those differences are named as frame differences on every page here, never averaged.
The neighbours, differentiated
The ductless mini-split installation hub prices a new system going in, in its own lane as the installation hub, with its installation field standing as its own field, named apart here and never a row here. Neither neighbour prices a standalone mini-split repair visit by problem.
