How Do I Know If My Mini-Split Needs Repair?

Unusual noises, inconsistent temperatures, or a unit that won’t turn on are all signs that your mini-split may need repair. You might also notice a sudden increase in energy bills or reduced airflow from the indoor unit. If you spot any of these issues, it’s best to schedule a professional inspection.

Can a Mini-Split Be Repaired or Does It Need to Be Replaced?

In many cases, mini-splits can be repaired with a part replacement or system recalibration. However, if the unit is older, frequently breaking down, or uses outdated refrigerant, replacement may be more cost-effective. A technician can evaluate your system and recommend the best option for your situation.

Why Is Only One Zone of My Mini-Split System Not Working?

If one indoor unit isn’t working, it could be due to a blocked filter, a communication issue with the outdoor unit, or a failed component. Since each zone operates independently, it’s possible for one to malfunction without affecting the others. A targeted repair can often resolve the issue without replacing the whole system.

How Long Do Mini-Split Repairs Usually Take?

Most mini-split repairs can be completed within one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the issue. Technicians carry many common parts and tools to provide same-day service when possible. More involved repairs may require follow-up if specialized parts are needed.

Are Mini-Split Repairs More Complicated Than Central AC Repairs?

Mini-split systems have unique components and electrical setups, which can make repairs more specialized than traditional HVAC systems . However, trained technicians familiar with ductless systems can diagnose and fix issues efficiently. The key is choosing a service provider experienced in mini-split technology.

Can I Run My Mini-Split While Waiting for Repairs?

It depends on the issue—if your system is still blowing air but not cooling or heating effectively, it may be safe to use temporarily. However, continuing to run a malfunctioning unit can sometimes cause more damage. It’s always best to have a technician assess the system before continued use.

What Causes Mini-Split Systems to Leak Water Indoors?

Water leaks are often caused by clogged condensate lines, dirty coils, or a broken drain pan. These issues prevent proper drainage and can lead to moisture buildup behind the wall-mounted unit. Prompt repair can prevent water damage and restore proper function.

How Can I Prevent Future Mini-Split Repairs?

Scheduling regular maintenance, cleaning filters monthly, and keeping the outdoor unit clear of debris all help reduce the risk of breakdowns. Professional inspections can catch small problems before they become costly repairs. A well-maintained mini-split is more reliable, efficient, and long-lasting.

The guys at Ted's were able to get us a new system installed before the summer heat started kicking in. They had requoted a system that we were looking at last year and once we decided to move forward we they were at our house in a few days. The installation crew was at the house for two days and they were very friendly and knowledgeable. They replaced our old system and added zoning for the upstairs and downstairs. They made sure to clean up and were quick to answer questions if we had any. If you're looking for a new system or just annual maintenance I highly recommend using Ted's.

Grant was very helpful in knowing what I needed to update in my 2005 townhouse. I am opting to go ahead and replace the hot water heater that is in my attic. Prevention is a better option. And I’m having three of my faucets replaced …opting for the higher arc faucets, helpful if you’re trying to water your plants. Grant is very patient and knowledgeable. He is very thorough and trustworthy. Cameron and Corey did a great job with my new heating and ac system. So glad to have a reliable company doing work in my house!
