Ductless Mini-Split Repair Service near you

Signs You Need Ductless Mini-Split Repair

Depending on the problem, its effects may not be systemwide. Mini-split indoor units work individually. Therefore, when one malfunctions or fails, other units will continue operating. 

This also means repairs are often less disruptive than with a central AC system. But one thing’s for sure; if you delay calling for help, the issue will only get worse, so call us for any of the following signs of trouble:

• The Controls Don’t Work: If a ductless AC unit doesn’t turn on or adjust the temperature properly when you set the controls, it may have a wiring or another electrical issue. The problem may be with the control panel itself. If you have a heat pump, the reversing valve may be malfunctioning. 
• A Lack of Cool Air: Call for help if the air isn’t blowing as cool or the system blows warm when set to cool. This is a sign of a refrigerant leak, which can damage the system further and be dangerous to your health. You need a mini-split AC technician right away.
• Inconsistent Temperatures: Your ductless AC should provide a consistent supply of cool air. If the room temperature fluctuates while the unit is on, it’s time to call for ductless mini-split repair.
• Short Cycling: If the system cycles more frequently, the underlying issue can cause it to work harder, leading to more wear and damage. Call a tech to inspect, diagnose, and repair your mini-split and get it working properly again.
• Odd Noises: Contact a ductless AC repair company if your mini-split makes banging or squealing sounds. These can indicate the fan motor belt or other component is damaged. A whistling noise often means the refrigerant is leaking, while humming or buzzing can signal an electrical problem.
• Strange Odors: A stale or musty odor is a sign mold is growing inside your AC. It can trigger allergy and asthma symptoms (and other health problems). A chemical or vinegar smell can mean components are overheating. Meanwhile, a seafood or fish odor can come from bacteria or a dead animal in the unit.
• Water Leak: Any fluid leak is a major issue. If water is dripping or pooling under a unit, it can cause mold or property damage. Possible causes include a clogged drain line, excess condensation, or ice on the evaporator coil.
• Ice: Ice in a ductless mini-split system is often caused by a dirty air conditioner. It can decrease system performance and lead to damage, so it’s important to have a professional fix the underlying issue.
• High Electric Bill: A more subtle sign of a problem, a spiking electrical bill can mean something is causing a mini-split unit to work harder. Call a ductless AC repair contractor if your monthly bill has risen steadily or is higher than the same time last year.

Benefits of Prompt Repairs

The sooner you call, the more likely we can prevent serious problems. For example, a failing motor or belt can cause the blower mechanism to fail; a small leak can cause a unit to overheat or the compressor to break down. Major system failures are almost always preceded by smaller issues. Therefore, you can save thousands of dollars by calling a repair tech promptly. It can avoid frequent service calls. Small repairs can also help increase the lifespan of mini-split units and your entire ductless system.
