I’ve recently had a general contractor install a Midea mini split in my house. Unfortunately it turns out that most HVAC technicians only service Mitsubishi and Daikin systems, and this GC only knows a single technician — he lives far away, is always busy, and I haven’t been able to get him to come out for several weeks now.
To make matters worse, they made some errors during the installation, and I had to bring in another technician to help resolve them. Specifically, the electrical wiring was not done right. That’s resolved now and the second technician said it should be fine, but the air output still feels weak. There’s a mini split head in a basement room that is quite powerful — that’s clearly working fine — and an attic slim ducted unit powering several vents in the main space. The attic unit is the one I have concerns about. Midea support has verified that it’s fine for the square footage, but the air flow is quite weak. You have to put your hand right up to the vents to feel it.
I’m hoping to find a reliable technician who would be able to verify that everything is working up to specs, and test the system to confirm that it will be adequate for the Winter. It would also be nice to know someone who can do any routine maintenance or repairs in the future.
