Ductless Mini-Split Heat Pump Service
Mini-split heat pumps have one or more indoor air handlers and a single outdoor condenser. The condenser is installed on a composite or concrete pad in the back or side yard, and it connects to indoor air handlers via copper refrigerant tubing and electrical wires.
In summer, these systems function identically to central ACs. They pull in warm air from building interiors and pass it over evaporator coils to extract heat. In winter, they source heat from the outdoor air and transfer it inside.
There are many impressive benefits in having a heat pump installed in your Mar Vista home.
- Lower energy bills
- Reduce your carbon footprint
- Improve indoor air quality (IAQ)
- Single appliance for year-round climate control
When replacing a gas-fired furnace and air conditioner with a ductless heat pump, you can free up additional storage areas in your home. The indoor units for a ductless system are small, and we can mount them on a wall or ceiling.
A mini-split heat pump provides zoned climate control. Rather than one indoor air handler, these systems have separate air handlers in each room or zone.
Each service area also has a thermostat that residents can independently control. This eliminates the need to heat and cool empty spaces. It also prevents recurring arguments over thermostat settings.
If you use your heat pump year-round, you should schedule tune-up service twice annually. It’s best to have a tune-up before winter and again before summer. During maintenance service, we check and clean evaporator and condenser coils, test refrigerant levels, calibrate thermostats, lubricate moving parts, and more.
Your heat pump might need repairs if it’s short-cycling, icing over, or producing lukewarm air. Loud noises, foul smells during operation, and erratic performance are all signs of mini-split heat pump problems. Scheduling timely repairs will prevent minor issues from spiraling out of control. It will also limit repair costs and help you maintain a comfortable living environment.
