What is the most frequent cause of malfunction with a mini-split system?

The Mitsubishi Electric Mini-Split components are built to last.  So when a mini-split system fails, it is most often the result of poor installation.  A skilled and experienced RYCOR technician follows a meticulous process to ensure a proper vacuum in the refrigerant line, avoid burrs from imperfect metal cutting, xxxxxx and more.  Any of these minor mistakes can result in malfunction in the months or years following the installation.  

It’s nearly impossible for homeowners to catch these missteps or lapses while an installation is in progress.  The best way to avoid them is to use a certified contractor, specialized in the art of mini-split installations.

Only the best technicians get to wear the RYCOR shirt. Their 5-star-rated service and unsurpassed experience will get the job done right, every time.

Question of the week

A heat pump is primarily powered by electricity. By harnessing electricity, the Mitsubishi Electric Mini-Splits can provide reliable and consistent performance while minimizing environmental impact. Unlike other heating systems, which manufacture heat by burning fossil fuels, heat pumps simply transfer heat between the inside and outside.

If you're curious about how Mitsubishi Electric Mini-Splits can enhance your comfort and energy savings, don't hesitate to reach out to our knowledgeable team at RYCOR.

In winter, a heat pump operates by extracting heat from the outside air and transferring it indoors to warm your living space. Utilizing a refrigeration cycle, the heat pump's outdoor unit absorbs thermal energy from the air, and through compression, raises its temperature. The heated refrigerant is then circulated to the indoor unit, where a fan disperses the warmth throughout your home. This process is efficient because it doesn't generate heat; it simply moves existing heat from one place to another, making it an environmentally friendly and cost-effective heating solution for colder months.

In summer, the process is reversed – extracting the heat from inside the home to the outside, to keep your home cool.

At RYCOR, the Mitsubishi Electric Mini-Split systems incorporate innovative technologies, including high-quality reversing valves, to ensure seamless operation in cold and warm weather.
