If you have a mini-split AC in Mission Viejo, CA, keep it running well with repairs from White Mechanical, Inc.. Modern mini-splits are impressively efficient, but they will consume excess electricity when there’s a problem, which can increase your costs.
The sooner we can service your ductless air conditioner, the more money you can save. If your system is too old or damaged to repair, replacement is an option. The latest mini-split AC systems are even more efficient and provide a wide range of advanced options.
Reliable Ductless Air Conditioner Repair
Rising energy consumption is often the first sign there’s a problem with a ductless air conditioner. That’s why we encourage homeowners to monitor their electric bills month to month and year to year. You can also invest in a smart thermostat that does the monitoring for you.
Annual maintenance can stave off most mini-split AC issues. This includes professional yearly maintenance visits and regular air filter cleaning. Even so, problems can arise. Sometimes, the first sign is rising electric bills that are not related to outside temperatures.
One common problem with mini-splits is irregular cycling. Long cycling is where a system struggles to achieve the temperature setting. Short cycling is when a unit turns on and off frequently. Both scenarios can cause significant wear and tear on a mini-split and will increase your use of electricity.
- Weak airflow
- Loud or unusual noises
- Tripped circuit breakers
- Inconsistent temperatures
- Mustiness or other unpleasant odors
When should you replace a ductless air conditioner rather than repair it? The first consideration is efficiency. If a system’s condition prevents us from restoring it to good efficiency, we might suggest replacing it. Many industry experts recommend replacement when repair costs are 50% or more of replacement costs.
If you choose to replace your mini-split AC, this is an excellent time. Modern systems are more efficient than ever. The SEER rating reflects cooling efficiency over an entire summer. The higher the SEER rating, the better. Modern mini-split SEER ratings start in the upper teens to 20s, which is fantastic compared to central ACs. You’ll also find units in the 30s and higher.
Another consideration is the ENERGY STAR label. The U.S. EPA awards certification to mini-splits that meet its high energy efficiency standards. That certification may also make you eligible for tax credits and rebates.
