Ductless Air Conditioning Service

The Importance of Regular Maintenance for your Ductless Mini-Split Air Conditioning System

We can't stress it enough—invest in the maintenance of your systems!

​

Heating and air conditioning systems need regular maintenance just like your car. When your dishwasher is on the fritz, don't be shocked – realize you run that thing nearly every day and when was the last time you had it serviced? Your ductless mini-split heating and air conditioning system is no different. Whether it's one unit or multiple installations, you must service them annually to keep them running at peak performance and lasting for years to come.

​

SERVICE APPOINTMENTS INCLUDE:

 

• A visit by a professional air conditioning technician

• Filters cleaned or replaced, as necessary

• Evaporator coils cleaned

• Outdoor condensing unit cleaned

• Debris cleared from outdoor condensing unit

Today more and more homeowners in the Southern Tier and Ithaca are enjoying the comfort and reliability of ductless mini-split air conditioning. Ductless A/C is designed to cool individual rooms (or “zones”) via wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted units that can be managed individually. As with all HVAC systems, ductless mini-split AC requires regular maintenance to keep up with regular wear and tear and catch any minor issues before they lead to major problems (meaning, MORE MONEY!).

Common Repairs for Ductless Air Conditioning Systems

​

Broken Compressor

Compressors pressurize the refrigerant in an air conditioner, producing cool air. If your ductless system’s compressor is not working properly, it will cause warm air to blow instead of cold air.

​

Blower Issues

Each indoor unit contains a fan, a set of coils, and a filter. A breakdown with any of these components will cause the ductless system to malfunction.

​

Refrigerant or Drain Line Problems

Each indoor blower connects to the outdoor unit via a refrigerant line and a condensate drain line that run through an external wall; both of these lines can develop leaks or clogs that back up the system.

​

Electrical Issues

Minor electrical problems will be indicated with a fault code on your unit’s display and can be fixed by referring to the owner’s manual. However if the display is blank, a fuse or circuit breaker may have blown or loose wiring may be to blame.
