Mini Split Heat Pump Repair Service & Installation Near You

Every time we have a season change here in central Minnesota our team get's a few calls from customers needing ductless mini split service, and when our tech arrives at the residence we find their issue was something very simple, like a breaker being tripped. If you want to save some time and money these are good things to check when you are having a mini split issue:

• Make sure that at least one zone is set to on and the desired temperature is set well below ambient for cooling operation, or well above ambient for heating
• Check your circuit breaker to ensure that you have not had a nuisance trip and your heat pump system does have power.
• If you are operating in the heat mode, make sure that your system is not in "Defrost" mode
• If your breaker was off, after turning the power on, give it a few minutes: many systems have a built-in time delay.
• Check your indoor unit filters. If your filters have not been cleaned lately, clean them now.

More than many local companies install mini-split heat pumps, but only a select few have the training and experience needed to competently repair them. Regardless of the year, make and model of your heat pump, you can rely on Dauer's.

Mini-split units for home heating and cooling have seen a significant increase in popularity because of their unparalleled efficiency and ability to be installed in a multitude of areas. There are several system components and options that make-up a modern all-weather mini split heat pump:

Zoning: Single zone or multi-zone?The easiest option is one outdoor unit with one indoor unit. However, for larger, more broken up spaces you can combine up to 8 indoor units on a single outdoor unit. All things being equal, single zone systems are more efficient than multi-zone.

System Sizing: The correct heating and air conditioning loads must be accurately figured out by a professional prior to installation. Incorrect sizing of equipment will yield unsatisfactory results.

Standard or Cold Weather Heat pumps:
Mitsubishi standard units offer efficiencies of up to 38 SEER cooling and 15 HSPF heating and can offer efficient heating to 5°F.
Hyper-Heating units offer true cold weather performance will full system capacity to 129°F and efficient operation to -22°F.

Indoor Unit Options: A mini-split air conditioner has two main components: an outdoor unit, which is connected to the indoor unit via refrigerant tubing. Traditional mini-split outdoor units are combined with in indoor units mounted high on an interior wall. More recently, a number of additional choices of indoor equipment give consumers more options. These include canceled slim duct systems, ceiling cassettes, full ducted systems, or floor / low way units. These indoor units can be mixed and matched in multi-zone applications.

Controls: Although mini splits traditionally come with a hand-held remote, they now can be part of complete home automation systems and app-based controls.
