Signs You Need Mini-Split Repair

Mini-split issues can sneak up on you, but they can be easy to spot when you know what to look for. Here are the most common indicators that you should call the professionals for system repair:

  • Unresponsive remote: Unlike central AC, mini-splits require a remote to work. If your unit doesn’t work after changing the batteries, it needs repair.
  • Climbing electric bills: You can expect a mini-split to run up to 15 years until efficiency slowly declines. A sudden decline in efficiency in younger units — which will be reflected in higher electric bills, assuming your usage stays the same — can signal several different issues within the system.
  • Poor cooling power: If the unit isn’t blowing cold air or the air isn’t cold enough, there may be a refrigerant leak.
  • Grinding noises: One of the most significant indoor signs to watch for is grinding noises from the wall unit. This can indicate worn-down bearings, which may result in overheating and the motor burning out.
  • Water leakage: A small amount of condensation can be normal with central AC or window units. However, any water coming from an indoor mini-split unit is a serious sign that it needs repair.
  • Ice formation: Ice forming on the outdoor unit results from reduced airflow, which can have multiple causes.
  • Outdoor fan failure: If the outdoor fan stops running, it’s an indicator that the capacitors have failed or the fan motor is experiencing an issue.

 

Troubleshooting Your Mini-Split System

Ductless mini-split systems are more complex to work on than central AC units, so it’s usually best to call in experts when you’re experiencing any of the problems above. However, there are some steps you can take on your own, including:

  • Replacing remote batteries
  • Cleaning filters per manufacturer instructions
  • Cleaning the outdoor compressor
  • Cleaning indoor and outdoor coils
  • Checking for power failure or tripped breakers
