A ductless HVAC system can pull double duty, acting as both an air conditioner and a heater. It can do a great job keeping you comfortable while operating efficiently, but of course, you could experience problems at any time. If your ductless AC system in Palm City, FL, isn’t operating as it should, read on to learn why and how to restore its functionality.
Leaky Ductless AC System
If you find a puddle of water under your indoor unit, you may have clogged condensate lines or drain lines that weren’t properly configured during installation. It could also be due to a lack of maintenance. Either way, have a service technician check your system and clean or repair the lines if necessary.
A different kind of leak can pose a much greater threat. If refrigerant leaks out of your system, which may cause a hissing noise, you’ll likely have difficulty heating and cooling. You’ll need to get the refrigerant leak fixed as soon as possible since refrigerant can harm people and pets in your household.
Noisy Operation
When a ductless mini-split is making more noise than its usual hum, a component probably requires attention. Someone from our team can visit your home to see if you’re dealing with an electrical issue that could cause buzzing, frozen coils that could result in whooshing sounds or loose parts that are rattling around when the system is running.
Mini-Split Won’t Turn On
A ductless HVAC system that doesn’t turn on may have a problem with its wiring. A malfunctioning thermostat, low pressure, clogged drains and overheating could also result in a ductless mini-split that won’t turn on. In any of these cases, have a trained service technician take care of the complex task of repairing the system.
A range of issues could affect a ductless AC system’s ability to keep your home comfortable. If you experience problems and require a ductless HVAC repair, contact Krauss & Crane Air Conditioning.
