Ductless heating systems can experience issues similar to other types of heaters, especially when neglected and not maintained. Let’s look into the possible problems ductless heating systems in Delray Beach, FL, can experience and their resolutions.
Ductless Heating Won’t Turn On
The heating system may fail to start up for a variety of reasons. For starters, there could be a problem with the power source in your home, or the heating system may have an issue internally. Regardless, if the heating system fails to turn on, you must contact a service technician who will perform a diagnosis and recommend a suitable solution to the problem.
Clogged Condensate Drain
A clog can cause a condensate leak. When drain clogs occur, they force the condensate water back into the system, leading to inefficiency and leaks.
Refrigerant Leaks
If you have numerous indoor air handler units, you’ll require more refrigerant, increasing your risk of leaks. Ductless heating systems are prone to refrigerant leaks when not maintained properly.
Improper Installation
The issue of improper installation is common among ductless heating systems installed by amateurs. If your mini-split wasn’t installed properly, it’ll consume more energy than to warm your home, eventually leading to a breakdown. Avoid costly ductless HVAC repairs by hiring a reputable contractor to perform your mini-split installation.
Faulty Blower Fan
Every air handler usually has a blower fan that blows warm or cool air into your home. Instead of using ducts, the main focus is on the fans. Therefore, you might have a faulty blower fan. In this case, the air handler will eventually break down.
