A ductless system should effectively cool your El Cajon, CA, home if all its components function correctly. If your ductless system is not cooling your home adequately, several potential causes could exist. Here are some tips to help you troubleshoot your ductless AC system and make your home comfortable.
Poor Airflow
Good airflow is essential for your ductless system to work correctly and ensure adequate cooling. Blocked or obstructed airflow can reduce the unit’s efficiency and lead to inadequate cooling. Could you check that no obstructions exist around the indoor and outdoor units, such as furniture or plants?
Compressor Malfunction
Ductless mini-splits are expensive, and you don’t want to risk damaging them. The compressor is a crucial component of a ductless mini-split system, and if it malfunctions, it can stop the unit from cooling your home. If you suspect an issue with the compressor, contact an HVAC professional for repairs.
Refrigerant Leak
Refrigerant leaks are common problems in ductless systems. Insufficient refrigerant will be circulating when there is a leak, which won’t cool your home correctly. You can identify and fix a leak with the help of an HVAC technician.
Improper Installation
Significant problems with ductless ACs originate from the initial unprofessional installation process. Improperly installed ductless mini-splits can cause many issues, including inadequate cooling and poor energy efficiency. They can also shorten the unit’s lifespan and decrease comfort.
When troubleshooting a ductless mini-split system, it is essential to identify the cause of the issue before any repairs. Contact West Coast Heating, Air Conditioning, and Solar if you need help with your ductless mini-split system to get professional HVAC maintenance.
