A mini-split system is a type of HVAC system that consists of an indoor air handling unit and an outdoor condenser unit. It works by transferring heat between these units to cool or heat a room.
It’s not recommended for most homeowners to attempt repairs on their mini-split systems. Mini-splits are complex and use refrigerant, which requires special training and equipment to handle safely. DIY repairs can void warranties and may lead to further damage.
It’s recommended to schedule annual maintenance for your mini-split system to keep it running efficiently and prevent potential problems. Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of the unit and reduce the need for repairs.
Yes, a professional technician can perform tasks such as cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, and calibrating the thermostat to optimize your mini-split system’s efficiency.
Our technician will start by assessing the problem. This might involve talking to you to understand any symptoms or issues you’ve noticed, such as unusual sounds, weak airflow, or temperature inconsistencies. They will also inspect the indoor and outdoor units of the mini-split system.
Before starting any repairs, the technician will turn off the power supply to the mini-split system to ensure safety. Working with electrical components can be dangerous, so proper precautions are essential.
Our technician may use specialized tools to test various components of the mini-split system, such as the compressor, fan, thermostat, and refrigerant levels. They will identify the specific issue causing the malfunction.
Depending on the diagnosis, Total Climate Control technicians will repair or replace the faulty components. This might include fixing refrigerant leaks, replacing capacitors or relays, cleaning or replacing air filters, or repairing electrical connections
Cleaning the indoor and outdoor units is an essential part of mini-split maintenance. Dust, debris, and dirt can accumulate on the evaporator and condenser coils, reducing the system’s efficiency. The technician will clean these components thoroughly.
If the refrigerant levels are low due to a leak, our specialized technician will identify and repair the leak before adding the correct amount of refrigerant to the system.
After making the necessary repairs, the technician will test the mini-split system to ensure it is working correctly. They will also calibrate the thermostat and ensure proper airflow.
