Why Isn’t My Mini-Split Working?

If your mini-split isn’t keeping your space comfortable, there may be one of several issues at play. Having a basic understanding of the most common problems can help you troubleshoot your ductless unit and know when it’s time to call a professional.

  • Electrical issues. If your heat pump won’t turn on, this could be due to a tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse. If the system only gets power intermittently, there may be a loose electrical connection somewhere.
  • Clogged filter. Running your system with a dirty air filter not only reduces its airflow and makes your space less comfortable, it also puts extra stress on your equipment that will ultimately shorten its lifespan over time. It’s a good idea to clean your filters every month or two depending on how quickly they accumulate debris.
  • Refrigerant leak. If your system is blowing air that just isn’t getting cool, there’s a good chance that you may have a refrigerant leak. “Topping off” your refrigerant won’t help much in this case since it will just seep out eventually. Addressing the leak first before adding refrigerant is key.
  • Blocked drain line. If the drain line that carries condensation away from your unit is clogged with dirt or algae, this can cause water to back up into your system and even leak into your wall. Making sure this line and the drain pan are cleaned regularly can help prevent this from happening.

Top Benefits of Quality Mini-Split Repair 

Not all HVAC contractors are created equal and who you hire to work on your system matters. When you choose a Boston mini-split repair specialist like N.E.T.R., Inc., you can rest easy knowing that all work is performed to industry standards and comes with our satisfaction guarantee. When we repair your mini-split, you can:

  • Prevent serious damage. Minor issues like a clogged filter or small refrigerant leak can quickly escalate, leaving you with bigger and more expensive repairs than before. We address problems quickly to prevent this.
  • Lower your electric bills. A well-maintained ductless system uses less energy to provide the same level of comfort, resulting in lower electric bills without sacrificing your heating or cooling. N.E.T.R., Inc. helps keep your equipment in excellent condition to reduce energy waste and cut expenses.
  • Increase your equipment lifespan. With regular maintenance, mini-splits last significantly longer than central HVAC systems and window ACs. Addressing common issues promptly can prevent unexpected breakdowns and protect your investment.    
  • Improve your indoor air quality. One of the best benefits of having a mini-split system is how much cleaner your indoor air is. But when your equipment isn’t working properly, mold and dust can accumulate and create an unhealthy environment. Repairing your system can restore your unit’s ability to filter allergens and unwanted particles out of your air.
