Ductless mini-splits have proven effective for providing year-round comfort to homeowners in Clayton, NC. These systems are simple to install and easy to configure so that you can enjoy zoned cooling and heating. Here are four troubleshooting tips you can use to diagnose your ductless HVAC system before calling a service technician:
Check the Power Source
Mini-split units are often installed in high positions on the walls of your home. This makes it necessary to use a remote to turn the system on and off. The first thing to check if your system fails to turn on is whether the batteries in your remote are still good.
Adjust the Settings
You may have to look no further than the settings for your system to uncover the root of a heating or cooling problem. The display panel will let you see if you’ve set your system to heat or cool as appropriate for the time of year. Next, you can check for the desired temperature setting.
Check the Filters
Dust and dirt can make their way into your HVAC system each time it pulls air from your home. This debris will diminish the efficiency of your system once enough of it accumulates. Clogged air filters are one of the first potential problems you should check for when your system isn’t maintaining the desired comfort level in your home.
Look for Refrigerant Leaks
A refrigerant solution circulating through your mini-split HVAC system helps to condition the air in your home. Leaks sometimes occur at spots on the cables that move the solution between the inside and outside parts of the HVAC system.
