Ductless air conditioners can have different problems than those of regular ductwork air conditioners, different signs and different fixes. Here are 3 of the more common problems and signs for ductless mini-split air conditioners:
• Not enough cooling - Possibly the most common issue. The most likely culprits are a clogged air filter, low refrigerant, a broken compressor, or a bad fan motor.
• Unusual noises - If your system starts to make new noises you should call in the pros asap. If it's gurgling, screeching, squealing, hissing or otherwise it's probably only going to get worse the longer you wait. You may have a refrigerant leak or a bad motor somewhere.
• System won't turn on - This can be caused by a broken thermostat which controls when the system is supposed to turn on. It could also be caused by faulty motors for the fan or compressor, or maybe even a bad capacitor which provides a surge of power for the system to turn on.

Not only will it help to prevent costly repairs by keeping the entire system running efficiently, but it will also save you money on your monthly energy bill. If all the coils are not completely clean and have dust bunnies hanging off them or debris in them, it can lead to a serious decrease in efficiency. This means you could be forced to run your AC unit more often than necessary which would cost you more money in both wasted energy and higher utility bills. https://www.k2hvac.com
