At Renhard Heating and Cooling, our NATE-certified technicians specialize in diagnosing and resolving complex mini-split issues, restoring your system’s performance and your peace of mind.

Common Mini-Split Problems We Solve

Ductless systems are reliable, but like any sophisticated equipment, they can encounter problems. Our experienced technicians have seen it all and can quickly identify the root cause of your system’s failure. If you're experiencing any of the following issues, we have the expertise to fix it.

• Lack of Heating or Cooling: If the air coming from your indoor unit is weak or not at the right temperature, the cause could range from a refrigerant leak or a failing compressor to a dirty air filter restricting airflow. We use precise diagnostic tools to determine if the issue is mechanical or related to refrigerant levels.
• Water Leaking from the Indoor Unit: A puddle of water beneath your wall-mounted unit is a clear sign of trouble, most often caused by a clogged condensate drain line. If left unaddressed, this can lead to water damage, mold growth, and electrical hazards.
• Strange or Loud Noises: Your mini-split should operate quietly. Grinding, rattling, or buzzing noises indicate an internal problem. A grinding sound could point to worn-out motor bearings, while rattling might signal a loose component or debris in the fan.
• Unpleasant Odors: A musty or sour smell coming from your unit is typically caused by mold and bacteria building up on the evaporator coil or in the drain pan. This not only smells bad but also negatively impacts your indoor air quality.
• Unit Fails to Turn On: If your mini-split is completely unresponsive, the issue could be as simple as a dead remote control battery or a tripped circuit breaker. However, it could also signal a more serious problem, such as a failed control board, faulty wiring, or a power supply issue that requires professional attention.
• Ice or Frost Buildup: Frost forming on the indoor or outdoor coil is a major red flag. It’s often a symptom of restricted airflow from a dirty filter or a sign of a low refrigerant charge, both of which strain the system and can lead to compressor failure if ignored.

Why Professional Mini-Split Repair is Essential

In an attempt to save money, some homeowners may consider a DIY repair. However, mini-split systems are complex and working on them without proper training and tools can lead to significant risks.

• Safety Hazards: Mini-splits contain high-voltage electrical components and pressurized refrigerant lines. Mishandling either can result in serious injury or damage to your property. Our technicians are trained to work safely with these complex systems.
• Risk of Further Damage: Misdiagnosing a problem can lead you to fix the wrong thing, potentially causing more extensive and costly damage to sensitive components like the compressor or control board.
• Voided Warranties: Most manufacturer warranties are voided if an untrained individual attempts a repair. Professional service from a licensed company protects your investment and ensures your warranty remains intact.
• Long-Term Reliability: A professional repair ensures the job is done right the first time, providing a reliable, long-term solution. For persistent issues or older systems, we can also provide an expert evaluation on whether a Mini Split Replacement would be a more cost-effective choice.

To prevent future breakdowns, consider our proactive Mini Split Maintenance plan. Regular tune-ups keep your system clean, efficient, and less prone to unexpected failures.
