What is a Ductless Mini-Split AC System?

A ductless mini-split AC system provides cooling to rooms and zones in your home without relying on ductwork to transport air. Configurations vary, but typical homes use one outdoor unit, which houses the heat-exchanging equipment, and indoor units, which distribute conditioned air. Conduits containing refrigerant lines, power cables, and condensate drain lines connect these units.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Mini-Split Systems Compared to Central Air Conditioning

Weigh the pros and cons of mini-split AC systems compared to central air conditioning against your home’s specific needs.

Pros

Mini-splits have the following advantages over central AC systems:

  • Energy efficiency
  • Ease of installation
  • Quiet operation
  • Versatility

Cons

Consider these mini-split system drawbacks:

  • Upfront cost
  • Exposed units
  • Less compatible with large buildings

Signs Your Ductless Mini-Split Needs Repair?

Schedule a ductless mini-split repair or maintenance service if you notice any of the following signs:

  • Not turning on: No power to your unit usually indicates a problem with the thermostat or a tripped circuit breaker. 
  • Odd sounds: The most obvious sign that your AC needs repair is a strange noise. Gurgling or hissing sounds might signal a refrigerant leak, while a grinding or screeching noise usually suggests a problem with the air handler.
  • Weak airflow: If the airflow seems weaker than normal, suspect an issue with the blower motor or fan belt.
  • Ice build-up: Ice on your outdoor unit usually means you either have airflow issues or a refrigerant leak.
  • Short-cycling: If your AC turns on and off sporadically, it may have airflow or thermostat issues. Short cycling can also indicate that your unit is too large for the size of your home.
  • Pooling water: Water pooling around your unit typically means you have a clog in your condensate line.
