Ductless heating and cooling systems grow in popularity with each year. For new home construction, going with a ductless mini split heat pump is a great way to have more design freedom. There are many other benefits of using ductless heating, such as overall cost savings, improvements in indoor air quality, and the ease of repairs.<\/p>\n
Speaking of repairs, if your home is equipped with a ductless heating and cooling system, you may need to have professionals fix problems on occasion. The best ductless mini splits should rarely run into malfunctions, but there are a few specific troubles that can affect them. One of them is when an indoor air handler\u2014the basic units that send heated and cooled air into a room\u2014appears to be sagging on the wall. What\u2019s going on, and how urgent is the problem?<\/p>\n
The most likely reason you\u2019re seeing a sagging wall unit is because there\u2019s a leak in the condensation line. Each indoor air handler in a ductless mini split system has a condensate line that passes through the back of the unit and through a 3\u201d hole drilled in the wall. If the line starts to come loose, it will leak water out between the unit and the wall. Water quickly deteriorates drywall as it creates mildew, and the weakening of the wall material leads to the air handler starting to droop from its mount. Eventually, the unit will fall, probably ripping away a portion of the drywall with it. Obviously, this isn\u2019t something you want to happen.<\/p>\n
Another possibility is the wall unit was poorly installed. The mount may have been hastily attached to the wall and isn\u2019t secure enough to support the weight of the unit. This is one of the dangers of having a non-professional do the installation, or if you attempted to go DIY with the work. You may have heard that ductless systems are \u201ceasy to install,\u201d but that means easy to install for professionals<\/em>, who can have the work done fast. Attempting this on your own\u2014or giving it to amateurs\u2014can mean bad news with future troubles like a wall unit tumbling off the wall!<\/p>\n A great edge ductless mini splits have over standard central heat pumps is that if something goes wrong with one indoor unit, it\u2019s an easy repair for an expert, and it won\u2019t affect the rest of the system while the work is done. The technician can even swap out a bad air handler unit for a new one, easy!<\/p>\n If you\u2019re looking for solutions to problems with your ductless heating in Eugene, OR<\/a>, we\u2019re the contractors to call.
