September 2nd, 2024

A ductless mini-split is a spectacular way to get around issues like not having ductwork or having old or damaged ductwork. It’s also an extremely efficient system because even the best ductwork does allow some energy to be lost while heated or cooled air is moving through. That said, even a fantastic system like a mini-split does have the potential to experience problems.

One issue you might encounter with your ductless mini-split has to do with moisture. All air conditioners accumulate condensation, so this is inevitable. With your mini split, there are slightly different risks to do with that condensation. If you suspect your mini split has a moisture problem, here’s what to keep an eye out for, and how to remedy the problem.

These Things Can Kill Your Air Conditioner!

August 19th, 2024

An AC system is complex. There are a lot of components which all have to work together in perfect harmony to accomplish the job of cooling your home. Something going wrong with a single component can generally be resolved with repairs, even if a part such as the blower fan motor has to be replaced entirely.

It would have to be replaced—but it’s such an expensive component that replacing it in an older air conditioner is a waste of money. You’d be better off investing in a whole new system. What can cause harm to an AC compressor? What can you do to ensure those things won’t kill your air conditioner? Read on to find out.
