Ductless Mini Split Repair

You’ve worked hard to create a luxuriously finished basement and had a ductless mini-split installed to keep it comfortable. While your basement is usually the coolest room in the house during the summer, it’s also still quite cool during the winter. Your ductless mini split provides the heat you need in your basement so you can enjoy your room throughout the year. However, lately, you’ve noticed that your mini-split isn’t putting out as much heat as it usually does. Chances are you need a ductless mini-split repair in your Cedar Rapids, IA, home.

Ductless mini splits can last as long as 20 years if properly installed and maintained. However, there are several factors that can affect the lifespan of your ductless mini-split, including:

• The Climate: Ductless mini splits that are installed in hot climates will have a shorter lifespan than those that are installed in cooler climates.
• The Level Of Use: Ductless mini splits that are used heavily will have a shorter lifespan than those that are used less frequently.
• The Quality of Maintenance: Ductless mini splits that are regularly maintained will have a longer lifespan than those that are not maintained. Routine maintenance and inspections ensure that your system is functioning properly and catch any potential issues before they become major problems.
• The Quality of the Unit: Ductless mini-split installation is a lot more complicated than a window air conditioner installation. Make sure you only purchase a ductless mini-split from a quality brand like Carrier and have a professional HVAC company like Novak install it for you to ensure that it will last for years.

If you’re experiencing issues with your ductless mini-split, the time to act is now. The longer you wait to have the problem inspected, the more serious and expensive the issue becomes to repair. Some of the most common signs your ductless mini-split heating and cooling system needs repair include:

Poor Airflow

If the air is not coming strongly enough out of your mini-split, first try to change the air filter to see if that helps. If not, call for repairs.

Leaks

Ice on your mini-splits evaporator coils or a clogged condensate drain line can cause your system to leak. Have the leaks addressed promptly to stop additional damage to your unit and water damage.

Loud Noises

Ductless mini-splits are normally very quiet, so when yours start running very loudly, it’s a cause for concern.

Broken Controls

If your ductless mini-split is not making adjustments as you implement them, or having trouble reaching the set temperature, this is commonly an electrical issue.

High Energy Bills

Many people don’t realize they have a broken ductless mini-split until they see their high energy bills. Repairs will make your system more efficient which will lower your energy bills back down to normal levels.
