Common Ductless Split System Problems

The need for ductless heat pump repairs can stem from a variety of parts, including the following: 

Refrigerant: Low refrigerant means your system has a leak. Since refrigerant is essential for air conditioning, repairing the leaks and recharging refrigerant must be performed to prevent a complete breakdown.  

Compressor and Condenser: These parts move the refrigerant, which means if they break down, no heat will be transferred by your system. 

Thermostat: If your thermostat does not accurately show your home's temperature, it may need thermostat repairs. In other cases, unusual readings indicate a problem with your ductless system itself. 

Coils: When the outdoor coils become clogged with dirt, mold, or other blockages, airflow is restricted, and indoor air quality suffers. In some cases, the coils can freeze over and prevent air movement. 

Electrical Components: Faulty wiring and sensors can cause a lack of power to your unit and trip breakers.

Condensate Drain: The condensate drain removes the condensation from your ductless split system. When it becomes clogged, moisture is trapped in the unit, which can cause damage and leaking.

Need a Ductless Split System Installation?

Aire Serv of the Central Shenandoah Valley provides installation of your new ductless split system! Since ductless units only require three to four inches of a wall opening to feed the refrigerant and electrical lines, installation can be a relatively quick and easy process. Whether you’re looking to install multiple units or a stand-alone blower that operates for only a single room, our service professionals are here to help. We’ll consider your property’s layout and additional factors to help you decide the optimal location for your new system. Once installed, we’ll run tests to ensure your new ductless split system operates correctly and provides comfort for years. 

What Is a Ductless Mini-Split AC System?

A ductless mini-split uses an outside compressor and condensing unit to bring in or remove heated air. Air is transported through a mounted blower, unlike other AC units, which rely on ductwork. Since these units don’t need ducts to move air, they can be an excellent option for homeowners without pre-existing ductwork. Thanks to each unit running separately, you can control the temperature of multiple rooms independently, guaranteeing everyone’s comfort. Despite their high initial cost, ductless split systems are more cost-effective over time due to the lower amount of energy they require to run as well as their zone operation. 

Advantages of a Ductless HVAC System:

• More efficient airflow - Thanks to not traveling through ductwork, cooled or heated air can be distributed faster. It uses less energy throughout the process and adjusts rooms to the needed temperature more quickly.
• Separate heating and cooling per room - Do you prefer certain rooms to be cooler than others? A ductless split system allows you to set up separate areas with different temperatures.
• Convenient size - Systems without ductwork are smaller and less bulky, taking up less space within your home or business.
• Reasonable pricing - When it comes to maintenance, these systems are less expensive due to their lack of ductwork. 
• Eco-friendly - Ductless split systems are more energy-efficient and utilize specialized environmentally-friendly refrigerants.
• Quiet operation - Ductless split systems operate quieter than traditional central cooling or heating systems. The noise reduction is partly because much of the system’s components are outside.
