Ductless Mini Split Services in Des Moines 

A ductless mini split AC system is a great alternative to a standard central AC. Unlike traditional systems that are powered by a large mechanical unit that pushes cool air through ductwork, ductless systems have individual units that are placed in rooms throughout the house and dispense air directly into the living space. Each unit can be adjusted separately, meaning you can have various temperatures in different rooms — no more squabbling over the temperature setting on the main thermostat! Ductless units are also operated with a remote for your convenience.

Ductless mini splits are quiet, efficient, versatile, and can be installed quickly. When combined with a heat pump, a mini split can draw heat energy from outside to transfer into your home during the winter. Want to see if this system is right for your home?

Expert Ductless Mini Split Installation Services

Although a ductless mini split system is much simpler to install than a conventional AC, the process is still best handled by an HVAC professional. Similar to a central AC, ductless mini splits need to be installed properly to ensure safe and efficient operation for years to come. The last thing you want is to be calling for repair just months after installation — or to have to replace your system much sooner than expected.

• Your indoor units are properly positioned on each wall
• The indoor units are centrally located so the air is distributed evenly throughout each room
• The indoor units are situated for easy access to the air filters and louvers

Signs Your Ductless Mini Split System Needs Repair

Ductless mini-split systems are known for their efficiency and reliability, but like any HVAC system, they can encounter issues over time. Recognizing the signs that your system needs repair can help you address problems early and maintain optimal performance.

• Reduced Airflow: If you notice weak or inconsistent airflow from your unit, it could indicate a blockage or a failing component.
• Unusual Noises: Strange sounds such as grinding, squealing, or banging are often signs of mechanical issues that need professional attention.
• Inconsistent Temperatures: If certain areas of your home are not reaching the desired temperature, your system may be struggling to distribute air evenly.
• Increased Energy Bills: A sudden spike in your energy bills can be a sign that your ductless mini-split system is working harder than it should, often due to underlying issues.
• Foul Odors: Musty or burning smells coming from your unit can indicate mold growth or electrical problems that require immediate repair.
• Frequent Cycling: If your system is turning on and off more frequently than usual, it may be experiencing issues with its thermostat or other components.
