How To Fix Common Problems with Ductless Mini-Splits

• The Mini-Split is Not Cooling or Heating Properly: This could be due to a dirty air filter or a problem with the refrigerant level. Start by checking the air filter and cleaning or replacing it if necessary. If that doesn’t solve the problem, you may need to have our professional check the refrigerant level and refill it if necessary.
• The Mini-Split is Leaking Water: This could be due to a clogged condensate drain. Check the drain line and remove any debris or buildup that may be causing the clog. If that doesn’t solve the problem, you may need to have our professional check for other issues, such as a broken condensate pump or a dirty evaporator coil.
• The Mini-Split is Making an Unusual Sound: This could be due to a loose or damaged fan blade, a damaged compressor, or a problem with the motor. Turn off the mini-split and inspect the fan blades and compressor for any damage or lost parts. If you find any issues, have our professional repair or replace the damaged parts.
• The Mini-Split is Not Turning On: This could be due to a problem with the power source or a damaged thermostat. Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure that the mini-split is receiving power. If that’s not the issue, check the thermostat and replace the batteries or reset it if necessary.
• The Mini-Split Emits Strange Odors: This could be due to a dirty air filter or a problem with the evaporator coil. Check the air filter and clean or replace it if necessary. If that doesn’t solve the problem, have our professional check the evaporator coil and clean it.
