A ductless system can provide customized cooling to keep you comfortable during hot summers in your Lake Forest, IL, home. As with any other equipment in your home, issues can develop without warning. Learn how to troubleshoot common problems, so you’ll know when to call us for prompt professional repair to keep your ductless system working efficiently.
Check Your Power Supply
Start by confirming that your unit is receiving power, and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped. If everything appears normal, internal electrical issues could still cause the circuit breaker to trip. If this happens, you’ll need a professional to inspect, diagnose and fix your ductless system.
Inspect Your Filter
If it’s been some time since your last filter cleaning, airflow restriction issues may be preventing your equipment from running. Clean the filter to see if that fixes the problem.
Look for an Error Code
Several types of ductless systems display error codes when something isn’t working correctly. You can use your owner’s manual to decipher what the codes mean or reach out to our team for assistance.
Check the Condensate Line
The condensate line for your ductless system may not be allowing water to flow freely through it. Some systems will shut down to protect interior components and your home. Make sure you don’t see any signs of drain clogs or mineral deposits.
Professional routine maintenance should include inspecting and clearing this drain line. This will prevent your system from shutting down at an inopportune moment.
Some ductless system issues will experience a minor problem that you can diagnose on your own and fix, like replacing a dirty filter. For all other issues, contact our team at Ireland Heating & Air Conditioning Co. to obtain a professional diagnosis and any necessary ductless system repair.
