\"ductless-wall-unit\"Using a ductless mini split heat pump for your central heating and cooling is a great way to solve uneven temperatures in a house or provide central comfort in a house that doesn\u2019t have space for ducts. Ductless systems also have fewer repair issues because they use smaller motors and don\u2019t suffer from problems connected to ductwork wearing down.<\/span><\/p>\n

But a ductless mini split can still need <\/span>heating repair in Athens, GA<\/span><\/a> if it isn\u2019t delivering the comfort you want during this winter. There are several possible reasons for poorer heating from a ductless system, and we\u2019re going to look at several sources. You\u2019ll likely need our professional help to fix the problem, so unless the issue ends up extremely simple, rely on our team to diagnose and fix the malfunction.<\/span><\/p>\n

Is Only One Room Having Heating Problems?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Because ductless mini splits work through multiple wall-mounted room units, the malfunction could be in one of those units while not affecting the rest of the system. When you notice one room isn\u2019t getting warm enough, check all the other rooms that have wall-mounted units. If they\u2019re still warming up fine, then the issue is probably with only one of the units\u2014which is good news, since it means a simpler repair, or in some cases replacing the individual unit. (This modular design is one of the benefits of a ductless mini split heat pump.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Check on the air filter for the faulty unit first. It\u2019s a permanent filter you can find by opening up the front panel. If this filter is excessively clogged, it will drop airflow and harm the heating ability. Clean off the filter with water, allow it to air-dry, then replace it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The wall unit may have trouble with its blower motor, which you may be able to hear. Another possibility is that the unit has lost its connection to the remote, or its temperature sensor isn\u2019t picking up accurate room temperatures and keeps shutting the system off.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Is the Problem Occurring Around the House?<\/b><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019ve got rooms all around your house that aren\u2019t getting warm enough, then the problem is a general one with the ductless system. Almost any trouble that can affect a standard heat pump can affect a ductless one:<\/span><\/p>\n
