4 Signs You Need Ductless Mini-Split Repairs
It’s important to notice the signs of a failing ductless mini-split. If you can catch the problem early, repairs are more likely to be sufficient. Just a few common signs that you need repairs include:- Your energy bills are higher than ever: Unusually costly HVAC bills are a sign of a struggling system.
- Your mini-split is always cycling on and off: When your system turns on and off over and over, there may be a temperature sensor problem.
- Your system is emitting sparks or smoke: Smoke and sparks should never come out of your ductless mini-split. Call for emergency service if you notice either.
- Your AC won’t respond to the thermostat: If your thermostat can’t control the system, there’s a major connection problem.

Our Ductless HVAC Repair Process
A lot can cause trouble for your ductless wall units, but our team can find the cause and provide a repair. Our process involves a comprehensive inspection of your system to find the root cause of the problem. Once found, we’ll perform the repair and test it to ensure it works as it should. Ductless mini-splits can suffer from a variety of issues after years of use. Some of the most common problems include:- Low coolant: A lack of refrigerant in your mini-split makes it impossible for the system to cool your air.
- Damaged blower motors: When your blower motor fails, your system won’t be able to spread cool air throughout the room.
- Poor electrical connections: Consistent electricity is needed for your ductless mini-split to function reliably.
- Water retention: These units pull humidity out of the air and need to drain it outside, but the drainage line can become clogged over time.

Why did one of my mini-splits stop working?
A ductless wall unit can stop working for several reasons. When any mechanical or electrical part of the system fails, it can cause a complete system failure. If all of your units stopped working at the same time, it’s more likely to be a thermostat, electrical, or heat pump issue.
Why is my ductless AC suddenly loud?
These units rely on blower motors to spread the air throughout your home. When these fans break down, they can bang or grind loudly.
Can I fix my own mini-splits?
While it’s possible to fix a ductless AC unit on your own, it’s not a good idea at all. Rely on expert technicians to find the true cause of the trouble and provide the right solution to avoid wasting time and money or causing further damage.
