Guide: Why Is My Mini-Split Not Heating or Blowing Hot Air?

Why Is My Mini Split Not Heating My Home Or Not Blowing Hot Air?

Guide: Why Is My Mini-Split Not Heating or Blowing Hot Air?There are many possible reasons why your mini split isn’t blowing hot air or warming your home. Most of them boil down to buildup inside the air handlers that prevent airflow or heat transfer. Now, there’s an easy fix for that.

This article walks you through the four most common reasons a mini spit won’t work correctly. You can handle a few of these on your own. For others, you’ll need a professional.

But, the good news is that in many cases, that professional isn’t an HVAC contractor. Instead, you can schedule a mini split cleaning that usually solves the problem — and offers a few other benefits as well.

Of course, we need to warn you not to start taking apart your air handler or heat pump. These units have some tiny, delicate parts in there. It’s easier than you may think to make the problem much worse.

Four Common Reasons Your Mini Split Is Not Blowing Hot Air

The four common things to check for when your mini split is not heating your home or blowing any hot air are:

  1. Wrong Thermostat Settings
  2. Dirty Or Clogged Filter
  3. Frozen Coil
  4. Clogged Coil

You can fix the first two yourself, and we’ll go through all four in-depth.

Wrong Thermostat Settings

Sometimes, the problem is simply the thermostat setting on your air handler.

For instance, if you don’t switch from “Cool” to “Heat,” your heat pump waits for the house to get warmer than the setting. In the winter, you want the opposite: Heat coming on when it goes below that call.

Or, there’s “Fan Only,” which only circulates air without moving heat around. This is more common on forced-air systems, but it’s an option here as well. In the winter, it would only move around the air in the room — which is cold when there’s no heat.

What To Do

Check the thermostat on each air handler. Make sure they’re set to “Heat” and not “Fan Only.” Then, set them to the temperature you want.

Dirty Or Clogged Filter

The filter in your mini split traps all sorts of dust and debris. When that stuff floats through the air and into the air handler, the filter prevents it from going further into the unit and then blowing back out.

But that filter gets clogged eventually. When that happens, it blocks airflow. Now, your air handler is trying to move heat into the room. But, there’s no circulation, so you don’t get any hot air.

What To Do

Open the panel on your air handler and check the filter. Does it look like this?
A Dirty Ductless Filter

If so, clean it right away. Then, see if that solves the problem. If it does, make sure to clean it once a month from now on — that’s the usual manufacturer recommendation.

Frozen Coil

A mini split heat pump can “ice up” or “ice over.” It’s when water on the coil freezes. Then, it can’t draw in heat and circulate it inside your home. The result is a system running in the winter but delivering cold air instead of warmth.

The two main culprits here are a dirty coil or a refrigerant leak. We’ll talk about the coil in our next section.

A refrigerant leak produces freezing-cold air in the heat pump and on the coil. It’s so cold that all the moisture on it or in the air freezes up. It ices over and prevents heat transfer.

 

 

 

 

 

 

What To Do

Listen for hissing sounds or chemical smells near the heat pump. Those are signs of a refrigerant leak. IF you notice them, call your HVAC contractor right away.

If not, disconnect the power to your heat pump. Once the ice melts, power it back on. If it happens again, call a professional.
Meanwhile, visually inspect the coil if you can see it. Take off the filter in your air handler as well. If they are visibly dirty, you need a cleaning. That may solve the problem.

Clogged Coil

A clogged coil causes heating problems even if you don’t notice ice on the system. In fact, the ice problem is rare. A far more common symptom is air handlers not working as well as they used to is a far more common symptom.

Once again, the problem is a clogged coil: All sorts of gunk, from dust to even mold, builds up in between the tiny fins and prevents proper heat transfer and circulation.

It happens on the heat pump outside and inside your air handlers. And, it results in hot and cold spots in the house or getting cold air when you want heat.

What To Do

Start with a deep cleaning. It’s a more detailed, involved process than what you’d get with routine maintenance from your regular HVAC provider. And that’s no slight on them. It’s just that this is a specialized process.

What you want is a service that gets behind and inside every component of your air handler and mini split to flush out contaminants and eradicate any microbial organic pollutants.

How Mold In Ductless Mini Splits Cause Biotoxin Illness

Biotoxin Illness, Mold, And Common Mini Split Problems In Boise, Idaho

Are you concerned about mold in your home? You should be. Many strains of mold can cause what’s called biotoxin illness. Or, more specifically, toxic mold syndrome. And, if you heat and cool your home with a ductless mini split, this problem is more likely than you realize.

Mini splits are fantastic in many ways: They use less energy than conventional HVAC setups. And, they can make your home way more comfortable.

But, the downside is that they’re a breeding ground for mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms that can cause biotoxin illness.

 

How Mold In Ductless Mini Splits Cause Biotoxin IllnessEven if you keep your home spotless, it’s still a threat. And, it’s becoming more of a risk as ductless systems become more popular.

If you’re reading this, chances are you’re already familiar with biotoxin illness. If you’re not, we’ll explain more about it in a moment. And, if you already know about it, we’ll tell you about how you can prevent it in your home.

We’ll focus most on your mini split, of course. That’s our specialty. But we can also help you find more resources if you think there’s a bigger problem in your home. Homeowners, businesses, and property managers in Boise Metro or Valley County can start by giving us a call at (208) 779-5596.

We can schedule your first cleaning right away. Or, we can start by answering your questions.

What Is Biotoxin Illness?

Biotoxin illness is a general term for a host of problems stemming from exposure to any number of microbial contaminants, harmful biological organisms, or neurotoxins. Any time you’ve heard about Pontiac Fever or Legionnaires Disease, or Sick Building Syndrome, or even tetanus, you’ve heard about biotoxin illness.

Related: What Is Microbrial Contamination?

Toxic Mold Syndrome

When it comes to your mini split, the biggest threat is toxic mold syndrome. The inside of your air handlers are warm, dark, and moist — perfect for mold to grow. And when it does, those spores spread through the air, to other parts of the house, and into your lungs.

Now, we’ll note that toxic mold syndrome is a controversial diagnosis. You’ll find some sources saying it’s a myth or a misdiagnosis.

But, we know for sure that mold is a major asthma trigger. People with allergies are also sensitive to it. And, just about anyone can end up with a bad cough or wheezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, or even fever and shortness of breath

Call it what you like. The bottom line is that mold, bacteria, and other microorganisms build up inside your mini split. And, they’ll make you feel sick.

Related: Common Indoor Air Toxins And Their Symptoms

Biotoxins, Mold, And Indoor Air Quality

Biotoxin exposure, particularly mold spores, can occur through airborne transmission: You breathe in the pollutants that make you sick. These illnesses are why indoor air quality is a huge issue today.

According to the CDC, Americans now spend around 90 percent of their day indoors. And recently, we’ve been spending even more of that time at home. The work-from-home revolution is in full swing, and plenty of parents opt to home-school their children here in Idaho.

Because of this, the air in your home needs to be cleaner than ever before.

Mini Splits

Mini splits, or ductless HVAC systems, provide better, more “even” comfort than forced-air or baseboard heat. And they use way less energy than other systems.

But, they can be a nightmare for indoor air quality, even with their advanced filtration systems. The problems lurk deep inside the air handlers.

The inside of your wall-mounted unit is warm, dark, and moist — the exact conditions mold, bacteria, and other biotoxins need to grow. And, when the fans turn on, your system circulates all that nasty stuff throughout your home.

Why Mini Split Cleaning Is Important (And Difficult)

 

 

 

The good news is that a deep cleaning virtually eradicates them. That’s easier said than done — and we’ll explain why in a moment — but it’s worth it for a few reasons.

 

Health Benefits

Eliminating biotoxins and microorganisms in your mini split prevents those contaminants from spreading through your home and into your lungs. That also goes for dust, dirt, pet dander, and other junk that builds upon the coils and behind the barrel fans.

Comfort And Efficiency

Clean heat pumps and air handlers function better. If you’ve noticed a rising electric bill or hot and cold spots in your home, a dirty mini split is often the culprit.

Cleaning Challenges

Until recently, the only way to really clean an air handler would be taking it apart and manually scrubbing each part. That includes carefully brushing between each fin on the coil.

Picture all the tiny grooves on the exterior of a conventional AC condenser outside a house. That’s what’s behind the panel on your wall-mounted unit. Now imagine scrubbing them one by one without bending any of them.

Related: HydroKleen’s Cleaning Agents Are Non-Toxic And 100 Percent Environmentally-Safe

This process would take all day, even for an experienced HVAC contractor. And, they’d have to charge for all that time. It’s too expensive of a job in that case.

Now, however, there’s a better way.

Why You Need A HydroKleen Cleaning

HydroKleen Global, our parent company, poured over a decade of research and development into a mini split deep cleaning that’s fast, effective, and safe.

The short version is that we essentially flush out every mold spore, bacterium, and speck of dust from inside the mini split using specialized equipment and a custom, non-toxic, hypoallergenic cleaning agent.

Microbial Contamination In Mini Splits: What You Should Know

What You Need To Know About Microbial Contamination In Mini Splits

What You Need To Know About Microbial Contamination In Mini SplitsPeople are usually talking about food safety when they discuss microbial contamination. But, it’s also a big concern with your home’s heating and cooling system— especially if you have a mini split.

Microbial contamination is an infestation of microorganisms that are harmful to your health. We’re talking about mold, fungi, bacteria, and viruses.

When it comes to food, you’re worried about ingesting them. With a mini split, you’ll breathe them in from the air around you.

That’s because mini splits, or ductless systems, are nearly perfect breeding grounds for these contaminants. The result is a host of indoor air quality issues and issues ranging from a general sick feeling to asthma attacks or even toxic mold syndrome.

Related: Mold Toxicity And The Signs That Mold Is Making You Sick

However, the good news is that cleaning these systems is easier than ever before. And, the right service makes an amazing difference right away. 

We’ll talk more about what, exactly, you may find lurking in your air handlers and heat pumps. Then, we’ll go through the signs of a dirty mini split. And, of course, how to get rid of the problem. 

If you have a mini split and are concerned about the indoor air quality in your Boise Metro or Valley County home, HydroKleen208 at (208) 779-5596. We’ll set you up with an appointment or just answer the questions you have right now. 

Common Microbial Contaminants In Mini Splits

Here are a few quick snapshots of the various microbial contaminants we find in mini splits all the time.

Viruses

We can’t see any viruses inside your air handlers ourselves. But, as we’ve all learned the hard way over the past few years, these tiny particles can live in your heating and cooling system. And, they’ll spread as your heater or AC (or heat pump system) blows air back out.

Bacteria

You know you can’t leave food lying around, or it will soon become infested with bacteria. It happens, in large part, because the surface is warm and moist. 

Well, the same applies to the inside of your air handler: There’s moisture and the ideal temperatures for bacteria to thrive. The most high-profile problems you hear about are Pontiac Fever or Legionnaires Disease outbreaks. 

Related: Common Indoor Air Toxins And Their Symptoms

Mold

Just as with bacteria, the warm, moist, and dark inner parts of a mini split are an excellent breeding ground for mold. It’ll make you sick and spread the infestation to other parts of the house.

Signs Of A Dirty Mini Split In Your Home

Unless you take apart your air handlers (which we do not recommend), you won’t see most of this buildup. Even when you clean the filters, you won’t get close enough to the coil or see behind the fans.

But we do. And, it gets pretty gross:

A Ductless System Can Get Moldy If Not Taken Care Of

If you’re concerned that your mini split looks like this, ask yourself if you’ve noticed these problems:

Rising Electric Bill

Grime and microbial buildup on the coil prevents heat from passing through the system the way it should. You end up with higher electric bills because your system needs more power to do the job.

Hot And Cold Spots

Even as your heat pump system uses more power, it struggles with the demand. You notice hot and cold spots in various rooms because the air handlers can’t circulate enough air to maintain the temperature.

Allergy Flare-Ups

Spring and summer are the worst months for seasonal allergies. But have you noticed flare-ups are worse this season, particularly when you’re home? Or, are you having more seasonal symptoms in the cold weather?

The problem is likely the buildup inside the air handler. Those contaminants will circulate any time of the year.

More Asthma Attacks

Many of the microbial contaminants we mentioned are asthma triggers. The same goes for dirt and pet dander building up inside the air handlers.

Related: Excellent Indoor Air Quality At Home Is Crucial For People With Asthma

Toxic Mold Syndrome

The biggest threat is toxic mold syndrome. When your system has a black mold infestation, it spreads those spores through the air. If you notice toxic mold symptoms and use a mini split, check your system immediately.

Why (And How) Mini Splits Get So Dirty

So why do these systems get so dirty, anyway? There are a few reasons.

Inner Components

How Often Should A Mini Split Be Cleaned? | HydroKleen208There are a lot of parts under the front panel of your air handler. There’s the coil with fins that look like the ridges you see on the outside of a regular outdoor AC condenser. Then the barrel fans, wiring, circuit boards, and more.

That’s a lot of nooks and crannies. And plenty of heat with all that machinery and electronics working all the time.

Then there’s moisture, especially in the summer. Your air handler draws in humid air and removes the moisture. While that water drains out, it still makes the inside of the unit damp.

Cleaning Challenges

For a long time, the only way to truly clean these units was for an HVAC tech to disassemble them and clean each component individually. When you get to the coil, that would mean scrubbing between each of the hundreds of fins.

Related: How Often Should A Mini Split Be Cleaned?

No one offers this because it takes hours and is way too expensive. Even then, they couldn’t guarantee they got everything.

That’s where HydroKleen comes in.

We developed the world’s leading mini split cleaning process. It uses specialized tools that can reach around, between, and behind every part of the air handler. We spray a cleaning agent at precisely the right pressure to do the job without damaging anything.

A Guide To Common Invisible Toxins In The Air In Your Home

Indoor Air Toxins And Their Symptoms: Boise Metro, Valley County Homes

A Guide To Common Invisible Toxins In The Air In Your HomeBy now, everyone is very aware that what’s floating around in the air around you can be hazardous to your health. Lately, most of that focus has been around viruses. But the truth is that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Especially in your home.

You may be surprised to learn that the air in your home is often dirtier than the air outside. It’s because there’s not nearly as much circulation to clean out the many invisible, airborne toxins that make their way inside,

Outside, you’ve got winds and miles and miles of open space. That dilutes the pollutants around. Inside, however, they build up. And, in the summer and winter especially, they can reach dangerous levels when your windows stay closed all the time.

This can be a problem for anyone. These invisible contaminants can cause anything from a general sick feeling to toxic mold syndrome.

On top of that, seasonal allergy sufferers experience more flare-ups. And, people with asthma have more attacks.

Related: Excellent Indoor Air Quality Is Essential For People With Asthma

But, what exactly is floating around in your home? And what can you do about it? 

That’s our topic for this article. We’re taking a close look at the specific airborne contaminants people often find in their homes — whether they know it or not. 

If you use a heat pump and air handlers to heat and cool your home, you need to know what’s lurking inside those, how your system circulates that stuff through the air, and what you need to do to get rid of it.

Common Toxins In The Air In Homes And Businesses In Idaho

Here’s a quick list of common toxins in your home. For the most part, you can’t see them, but they cause problems all the same.

Nitrogen Dioxide

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) are in the same family of poisonous gasses. NOx is brownish and reacts in the atmosphere to cause smog. No2 is colorless and odorless.

Major Sources

Nitrogen dioxide is generated from combustion in water heaters, stoves, furnaces, boilers, fireplaces, and space heaters.

Health Effects

NO2 irritates the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract. It causes asthma attacks and bronchitis and increases the risk of respiratory infection in young children.

Carbon Monoxide

A Carbon Monoxide Detector Should Be In Your HomeCarbon monoxide, or CO, is another odorless, colorless, and tasteless gas. It’s much more dangerous than nitrogen dioxide, however. That’s why we all have CO detectors in our homes now.

Major Sources

Your furnace creates CO as a byproduct of natural gas combustion. Most of it exits your home through the exhaust system, but there are always trace levels. And, it can build up when there’s a problem with your HVAC system.

Health Effects

Carbon monoxide prevents your body from getting enough oxygen. Initial symptoms include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and confusion. Eventually, you’ll pass out and over time will suffocate.

Formaldehyde

Formaldehyde is a colorless gas with a very strong odor. It’s common in homes but breaks down quickly in the air. There’s usually a tiny, harmless amount in the air all the time, including indoors. But, higher levels can cause health problems.

Major Sources

Manufacturers use formaldehyde in building materials, and you’ll find it in pressed wood products, hobby and craft items, and other general consumer products. It’s occasionally used as a food preservative and in soaps, shampoos, and cleaning products. And, it’s present in second-and thirdhand smoke.

Health Effects

Researchers have linked formaldehyde to some cancers of the nasal cavities. THere’s also an increased risk of leukemia. People report eye, nose, and throat irritation in less severe cases.

Volatile Organic Compounds

Volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, are a group of gasses that get released into the air from various household products. The term “volatile” refers to its higher vapor pressure, which means it evaporates quickly into the air.

Major Sources

VOCs can come from building materials such as flooring, carpet, paint, and color from air fresheners, household cleaners, perfumes, deodorants, and cosmetics.

Health Effects

Not all VOCs have adverse health effects, but many will irritate your eyes, nose, and throat when you breathe them in. Some people also reported nausea and difficulty breathing. Some VOCs can cause cancer. You can find a comprehensive list here.

Second- And Thirdhand Smoke

Second- and thirdhand smoke is residuals from tobacco smoke. Secondhand smoke is when you breathe in the smoke from someone else’s cigarette, cigars, pipe, or other tobacco product. Thirdhand smoke is the residual left on clothing and surfaces.

Major Sources

If you’re around people who smoke, you’re exposed to secondhand or thirdhand smoke. Even if you’re not there when they’re smoking, there’s still the risk of thirdhand smoke. IT’s even present in homes where prior residents smoked inside.

Health Effects

Just as for smokers themselves, people exposed to the residuals from tobacco smoke are at risk for cancer. Secondhand smoke also irritates your respiratory system. While thirdhand residual smoke isn’t as strong, it’s still a health risk. That’s especially so for young children who touch many surfaces and are more likely to put their hands in their mouths.

Dust Mites

Dust mites are tiny insect-like creatures that eat the skin flakes, which we all shed, and pet dander. You can’t see them without a microscope.

Major Sources

Dust mites live on and around dust particles in your home. They’re common on bed sheets, pillows, carpets, and upholstered furniture. They’re present in virtually every home, but you can reduce their presence with regular cleaning.

Health Effects

People with dust mite allergies will get small bumps on their skin where they come into contact with these critters. They also trigger seasonal allergy symptoms and asthma attacks.

Mold Spores

Mold is a multicellular fungus that grows in dark, damp, and warm places. It’s typically invisible, but you’ll notice a buildup of mold spores on surfaces if it’s left to grow over time. Some are harmless, while other types of mold are very toxic.

Major Sources

Mold spores are just about everywhere, but they become a problem when they start cultivating. They grow very quickly once they’re exposed to moisture in the air. That makes any place in your home with the right conditions a potential breeding ground for the spores.

Health Effects

Depending on the type of mold present, you can experience anything from nausea, headaches, or dizziness to red, irritated eyes, coughing, and shortness of breath. More severe symptoms include fever and fatigue. Long-term exposure can cause organ damage, Legionnaire’s disease, and more.

Related: What Is The Best Temperature To Prevent Mold From Growing In My Home?

Pet Dander

Dogs and cats shed dander just as humans shed skin flakes.

Major Sources

Furry pets shed dander naturally. So, if you have a dog or cat in the house, you’ve got pet dander.

Health Effects

The primary health effects are respiratory flare-ups. Some people are allergic to pet dander directly. And the dander also attracts dust mites, which can cause other problems and allergic reactions.

Indoor Air Quality And Mini Split Systems

How Often Should A Mini Split Be Cleaned? | HydroKleen208Fortunately, you can reduce the health risks from these airborne toxins with regular cleaning schedules. Just washing linens and fabrics regularly and using a damp cloth to wipe away dust goes a long way.

But, you can’t always get to every spot in your home where these toxins reside. In particular, it’s a big problem for people who use mini splits to warm and cool their homes.

Related: How Often Should A Mini Split Be Cleaned?

Problems

When your mini split’s air handlers draw in the air from a room, they also bring in all these toxins. Once inside, they build upon the coil, behind the barrel fans, and on other components. It’s dark and warm there. And, there’s moisture due to the dehumidification process.

Even if you clean the filter regularly, you can’t access where these toxins collect and cultivate. And, those invisible pollutants don’t stay put. Instead, they spread back into the room as your system circulates the air.

 National Asthma Council Australia

Among other efforts, the National Asthma Council Australia, or NACA, publishes the Asthma Handbook: A nationally-recognized set of guidelines for health professionals managing their patients’ asthma.

We regularly consulted with the NACA to ensure our process follows those best practices. And that our cleaning agents meet their Sensitive Choice Program standards for asthma and allergy-aware products

As a result, HydroKleen is the only cleaning process that meets the program’s standards for cleaning, sanitizing, and disinfecting mini splits.

Aeris Environmental Ltd

The HydroKleen Waste Water Is Safe And Easy To Dispose OfWe developed our cleaning agent based on Aeris Environmental’s technology for controlling microbial infections in hospitals.

The company specializes in air quality services, particularly in the heating and cooling world. And, their guiding principle is, “Clean, green, protect” — right in line with what we do, too.

As a result, we can guarantee that our cleaning agent removes the bacteria, fungi, mold, and other microbial contaminants that build up on your system’s coils and other inner components. And that it provides guaranteed protection against recontamination.

Thanks to these partnerships, HydroKleen can say we offer a service that virtually no one else in the world can match.

Healthier Indoor Air

Don't Touch The Thermostat! [Office Comfort & Indoor Air Quality]

Our process eliminates the HVAC problems that damage your indoor air quality. And, poor indoor air quality can be disastrous:

Contaminants in your air at home trigger everything from allergies and asthma flare-ups to toxic mold syndrome. Sick Building Syndrome leads to unhealthy employees and customers, leading to reduced productivity and losses in profits.

With our cleaning, those threats aren’t an issue anymore.

Less Energy Use

Homes and businesses have seen their electric bills go down by anywhere from 10 to 25 percent after HydroKleen’s visit! That’s because the contaminants build up on the coils, which are the surfaces where heat transfer occurs.

When we clear them out, your system won’t need as much energy to control the temperature in your space.

Reduced Maintenance Cost

Regular maintenance is a must for any HVAC system. And, for mini splits, we now know that deep cleaning is a vital part of your maintenance routine. It’s the only way to eliminate all the buildup that damages the components over time.

Longer Life For Your Mini Split

Mini splits last an average of 10 to 15 years. But, only the ones that get proper care last 15 years or more. Systems suffer breakdowns and excess wear and tear when they’re dirty. As a result, they won’t last nearly as long as a clean, smoothly running mini split.

We eliminate the dirt and contaminants that reduce the life of your HVAC system. And, we’ll show you exactly that during our visit.
