FAQs
Why did one of my mini-split units stop working?
There are many reasons why your unit stopped working, including the following:
- Electrical issues, such as a tripped breaker or a faulty wire
- Refrigerant leaks
- Compressor failure
- Fan motor issues
- Dirty filters or coils
- Thermostat problems
- Age and wear of the unit
- Improper installation or maintenance
How to troubleshoot mini-splits?
Here are some things you can try to troubleshoot issues with your ductless mini-split system:
- Clean the filters to remove dust and debris from clogging them and restricting airflow. Dirty filters can also cause leaks.
- Check the outdoor heat pump unit for debris like leaves or branches that might be blocking airflow.
- Make sure the sensor is clean and attached properly. A faulty sensor can prevent the unit from heating or cooling effectively.
- Reset the system by turning off the power using the remote, then cut power to the outdoor unit at the circuit breaker for at least two minutes. This will reset the system to factory settings.
If your mini-splits still aren’t working as they should, or you notice a leak, smell, or sound, it’s best to contact an HVAC technician for further testing and repair.
Should mini-splits be loud when running?
No, ductless mini-splits should not be loud when they’re running. If you notice a loud noise coming from your mini-split, it could indicate a problem such as:
- A loose or damaged fan blade
- A dirty or clogged air filter
- A refrigerant leak
- A worn-out compressor
- Improper installation
If you hear a loud noise coming from your mini-split, it’s best to call an HVAC technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
