    Mini-Split Repair in Atlanta

    While mini-splits are incredible systems, none of their advantages make them invincible. Occasionally, they don’t work right.

    Our team knows how to diagnose your Atlanta mini-split service issue, apply the best fix, and keep the system cooling (or heating, if it’s winter) for the long haul. In our years of experience, we’ve seen it all! Chances are, the issue your mini-split is having is one we’ve fixed countless times before.

    Signs when you might need ductless mini-split repair

    Mini-split systems may need maintenance just like ducted split HVAC systems. In some cases, that can mean having to call for mini-split repair in Atlanta. Rest easy knowing that our team at PV Heating, Cooling & Plumbing has the experience and expertise needed to service all makes and models of mini-split systems!

    When they don’t heat or cool properly, the problem is usually one of the following:
    • Refrigerant leaks: When the system has a refrigerant leak, it struggles to heat or cool your space. Before long, the coil may even freeze up.
    • Dirty components: A dusty, dirty coil or blower can cause mini-split problems. When gunk accumulates on these components, it can inhibit heat transfer and prevent the unit from heating or cooling.
    • Dirty filters: When you don’t clean your air filter, the lack of airflow can stop the system from heating or cooling properly.
    • Bad control board: Mini splits will have two or three outside control boards and one on the indoor unit. Occasionally, these fail and need to be replaced.
    • Poor installation quality: When a mini-split system isn’t installed properly, it can fail to heat or cool your space. This is a common problem around Atlanta as very few HVAC companies have much experience with mini splits.
    So, what do we look for when you call about a mini-split that isn’t working properly? Our technicians apply their many years of experience and advanced diagnostic procedures to properly isolate the source of the issue. We then communicate our findings to you, and give you a fair quote to solve the problem. You can trust our mini-split service experts to get the job done right every time!

    Here’s a list of steps our technicians follow during mini-split service:
    • Cleanliness inspection: We look at the air filter, coils, and blower. When these components aren’t clean, the system may not heat or cool. You may also experience airflow issues.
    • Check for leaks: We look for refrigerant leaks via visual inspection or, if necessary, with an electronic leak detector.
    • Drain line flushing: A clogged drain line can inhibit mini-split performance. When necessary, we clear the line so that water can flow.
    • Electrical analysis: We check all wiring and contacts for problems. This inspection will also reveal a bad control board if that’s the problem.
    • Installation analysis: Sometimes, a poor installation is a problem. We check that whoever installed your mini-split did so to our rigorous specifications. If they didn’t – and some adjustments would help – we can make them for you.
