- Bad Odors: Unpleasant smells coming from the unit could be due to mold or bacteria buildup within the system or a sign that the unit is burning out internally.
- Increased Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your electricity bill might be the result of your mini-split working harder to maintain temperatures due to a malfunctioning component.
- Ice Build-up: Ice forming on the coils of the indoor or outdoor unit can be a sign of a refrigerant issue or airflow problems.
- Visible Leaks or Drips: Water or refrigerant leaks around your mini-split units should be addressed immediately to prevent further damage.
When you notice these issues, it’s advisable to Shafer Services Plus for an accurate diagnosis and repair, as trying to fix these issues yourself can lead to further damage or void warranties.
