Monday, February 17th, 2025

When people are accustomed to traditional central AC units, they may find their ductless system a little confusing at first. It’s important to pay attention to how your system is working, so that any problems it has can be caught early and remedied before bigger issues develop. But how can you tell if it’s working properly when you’re not clear on what you should expect from it?

In many ways, a ductless mini split is just like any other AC or heat pump system. If the outdoor unit bangs, if the system starts and stops too often, if you have very little air or lukewarm air blowing from vents, or you notice that your electric bill is climbing, you need repair. The biggest difference between ducted and ductless systems has to do with drainage. Here’s what you need to know about drainage problems.

Mold invading your home is one of the most difficult things to deal with. Thanks to Florida’s average relative humidity of around 75%, mold is very happy to grow here.

A mini split, or ductless system, can be used either for just air conditioning or, more commonly, for heat pumps, allowing the system to both cool and heat the home.

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.
