Uneven Heating/Cooling
This is a trouble that any type of multi-room HVAC system can encounter. Some areas are getting the comfort they need, while others are too hot or cold.
With a ductless system, the trouble is likely because one of the individual blower units mounted in a room has a clogged filter or problems with its motors. You can take out the filter yourself and clean it and replace it. (Let it dry thoroughly before putting it back.) Motor issues are something to leave to experts.
Uneven comfort might also be due to problems with connections between the various wall units and the outdoor unit that handles extracting or releasing heating. Pros can also fix this issue.
Sagging Blowers
Here’s a problem that you can identify with just your eyes: one of the wall-mounted units is starting to sag. This isn’t something to ignore because it’s possible the reason the blower is listing is because of condensate leaks behind it. This can lead to the blower tearing loose, damaging the wall in the process. Don’t hesitate to call for repairs, and please don’t try to “right” the blower yourself.
Efficiency Trouble
One reason we love ductless HVAC systems is because of their high energy efficiency. So if you start to notice you’ve got steeply climbing electric bills during a time of the year when your ductless system runs regularly, it’s warning you that something is interfering with its operation (refrigerant leaks, failing compressor, lack of maintenance). Let our techs give the system an inspection and we’ll find what’s causing the efficiency drop.
Blower Won’t Turn on or Off
You operate your HVAC system using remotes for each of the blowers. If one or more of the blowers isn’t turning on when you need it to, first check on the batteries for the remote. Next, clean out the filter if it’s clogged. If this doesn’t solve the problem, there may be an issue with the power supply or the motor might have failed. Time to give our pros a call.
