Having mini-split installation done is a fantastic approach to solve comfort issues in your home. These systems don’t require ductwork to deliver energy-efficient heating and cooling. Similar to any other home comfort system, they can run into problems from time to time. Here are seven of the most frequent mini-split issues and how you can repair them.
1. Mini-Split Is Dripping Water or Not Draining Water
If your mini-split is dripping water or not draining water, there might be a problem with the condensate drain or drain line. It’s typical for a drain line to get clogged with mold, forcing water to back up and spill. Reach Ohler & Holzhauer Inc. at 419-465-8722 for assistance and we’ll get your drain unclogged promptly.
2. Mini-Split Makes Constant Noise
Mini-splits typically don’t generate much noise when they’re running. But there are two times where they might produce sounds.
- Popping or clicking: This can be because of the plastic housing expanding or contracting while the system is on.
- Swooshing, crackling or gurgling: This can happen if your mini-split turns on defrost mode to keep itself from freezing over.
You shouldn’t be alarmed if you hear these noises since they’re normal. However, if your mini-split keeps switching into defrost mode, it’s a hint that something is off, like not enough refrigerant, a bad circuit board or defective sensors. Yo
