Like any mechanical system, ductless mini-split systems are susceptible to issues like wear and tear over time. In case you encounter problems with your system in your Dallas, TX home, you should rely on the expertise of qualified HVAC professionals to diagnose and resolve them. Here are some common issues and troubleshooting tips for ductless mini-split systems.
Insufficient Cooling
Over time, debris, dirt, and dust can accumulate on the filters in your ductless mini-split system. This hinders proper airflow and causes reduced system efficiency, consequently leading to insufficient indoor cooling.
To combat this issue, clean filters regularly or replace them every three months. You also need to schedule comprehensive HVAC maintenance visits at least twice every year for optimal system performance.
Leaking Water
Similar to traditional HVAC systems, ductless mini-split air conditioners produce condensation when they cool the air. Water leakage may occur if you have clogged or blocked condensate lines.
Regularly inspect the drain lines for leaks and pour a small amount of vinegar into the drain lines at least once yearly to keep them clean. If you notice that your ductless mini-split air conditioner is not draining properly or if there are leaks from the indoor air handler, schedule professional AC repair services immediately.
System Not Turning On
If your ductless mini-split AC fails to turn on, possible causes could involve the electrical panel or control board. These include power supply issues and a faulty remote control.
These concerns require immediate professional attention. An HVAC technician will conduct a comprehensive electrical inspection to identify and address power supply issues.
Improper Installation
Improper installation of the ductless mini-split system may lead to leaks and possible damage to your flooring. Prevent this by ensuring the professionals you hire follow the manufacturer’s installation guidelines. Additionally, check that any furniture positioned in front of the system maintains a few inches of distance for safety precautions.
