Just because you own one of the most efficient and effective HVAC systems on the market today doesn’t mean that it is immune to repair problems. Yes, like any other HVAC system, your ductless AC is going to require repairs, too\u2014and that’s okay! In fact, ductless systems come with their own set of unique repair needs, so if you own one of these systems, it’s best you be aware of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is important to know the types of issues that you could run into with your ductless system, so below we have listed a few of them. All you have to do is keep reading to find out more. (And of course, remember to schedule your services with our team if you’ve got trouble on your hands.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s What Could Happen to Your Ductless System<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Like we mentioned above, ductless systems come with their own set of unique repair needs, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Leaks Behind the Air Handler<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each of your wall-mounted air handlers as a series of connections routed through a hole behind them. These connections include a power line, a refrigerant line, and a condensate line. The condensate line is responsible for removing water from the cooling process so that it doesn\u2019t enter your home. However, these lines may leak, and if they do, water will start to collect between the back of the air handler and the wall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If this issue isn\u2019t addressed right away, the wall material may begin to weaken, causing the air handler to rip away and fall to the floor. Not only will you have to replace the broken air handler, but you will also have to deal with the cost of repairing the wall. So, if you notice any signs of water near the air handler, be sure to contact a professional ASAP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Broken Air Handlers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally, you may find that one of your air handlers has stopped working properly. This can be due to any number of things, including a failed motor, an electrical issue, or even a damaged fan. When your air handler isn\u2019t working as it should, it can definitely make that area of your home feel quite uncomfortable\u2014but, don’t worry just yet! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When one of your air handlers stops working, the rest of the air handlers in your home will continue to run. This means you can simply go to another room in your house to keep cool during the summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refrigerant Leaks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, a refrigerant leak is an issue faced by all types of air conditioning systems. However, ductless systems are a little more vulnerable, as they\u2019ve simply have more refrigerant lines. Therefore, it is important to be on the lookout for signs of a refrigerant leak to avoid a full-system breakdown. These signs include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
