Ductless Split AC Systems

Common signs that homeowners may need AC repairs include hot air or weak airflow coming from the vents, high humidity in air-conditioned spaces, or loud noises from the vents or unit. Professional air conditioning repair services can diagnose these problems and provide effective solutions.

Running a broken mini-split can cause further damage to the unit or increase your energy usage, so don’t hesitate to schedule service. Common repair issues that require professional service include:

• Electrical connection errors
• Faulty or broken thermostat
• Water or refrigerant leaks
• Short-cycling
• Frozen coils
• Clogged drain lines
• Faulty or broken fan

To clean washable indoor mini-split filters, turn off your unit, open the front panel, and carefully remove the plastic mesh filters. Gently rinse off dust and grime with warm water. Use a mild detergent to remove any remaining grime if necessary. Once clean, leave the filters out to air dry before placing them back in the units. Repeat this process monthly or whenever excess buildup occurs.

Low refrigerant levels are often to blame for a mini-split icing up. Refrigerant helps absorb heat, so if the refrigerant is low, the unit will work harder to create cool air, creating excessive cooling that may cause icing.

Dirty condenser coils can also cause a mini-split to ice up. If the coils are dirty, your unit will be unable to work efficiently, resulting in overworking and overcooling.

No. Running a malfunctioning HVAC system can lead to bigger problems and higher energy and repair costs. If you suspect your unit isn’t working properly, stop use and request professional air conditioning repair service right away.
