Ductless split systems offer homeowners a fantastic option, especially for older homes without ductwork, mobile homes, and outbuildings or spaces where a regular central air conditioner setup just won't work. If you're looking to install a ductless air conditioning system or need maintenance on one you already have, call our experts at Ace Plumbing Heating and Air Conditioning — we've got you covered.
Signs of Ductless AC Problems
Just like any other HVAC system, a ductless split system can develop problems over time. An AC tune-up can help, but some problems call for prompt repair. Either way, don't wait — call us.
Climbing Utility Bills
Energy isn't getting any cheaper, but if your electricity spending doesn't match rate increases, that's often a sign of lost efficiency or a system that needs repair.
Unusual Sounds
Ductless AC systems have characteristic sounds as they run through the cooling cycle. If yours sounds different than it used to, that's worth a call — see our guide on what strange AC noises usually mean for a rundown of what to listen for.
Thermostat Problems
Your ductless system may be fine, but a malfunctioning thermostat can cause problems of its own — from a failure to start to "short cycling," where the system runs in short, repeated bursts. Since that causes premature wear, it shouldn't be ignored. The upside: a new smart thermostat gives you finer control and more efficient operation than an aging one.
Air Quality Issues
Your ductless system filters the air as it cools, but indoor air quality problems can still present themselves even with diligent filter replacement. If you notice your allergies or asthma act up indoors, we can troubleshoot the problem and eliminate it at the source.
Other Ductless AC Problems
Of course, what we’ve listed so far is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. From an air conditioner blowing warm air to individual rooms that are either too cool or that don’t cool at all, there’s plenty to keep you on your toes. Fortunately for you, we’re experienced with all of it.

Should I Repair or Replace My Ductless Air Conditioner?
Age is only one reason to consider replacing a ductless air conditioning system. If repair bills are coming more frequently, or the repairs themselves keep getting pricier, it may be worth considering replacement instead. You may also need to revisit your system configuration if you're adding onto your home. The good news: ductless systems are fairly flexible to reconfigure, and newer units may qualify for energy efficiency rebates that offset the cost. Since many ductless systems are heat pumps, our guide on is replacing a heat pump worth it? covers the decision in more depth.
