How to Tell Whether Your VRV System Needs Service

If your VRV system isn't keeping all of the zones comfortable, you should have a professional look at it. These typical indications often mean that there are problems that can be fixed by a professional:

  • The zones aren't heating or cooling correctly.
    When some rooms are excessively hot or too cold, it usually means that the refrigerant is out of balance, the ventilation is inadequate, or the zoning isn't working right.
  • Some of the interior units don't work or are turned off.
    If individual units won't switch on or don't respond to settings, the problem could be with the control board, the wiring, or a lack of communication between the system components.
  • Indoor or outdoor units making strange noises or shaking
    If your appliance is making a rattling, buzzing, or shaking noise, it's probably because of loose parts, motor troubles, or problems with the flow of refrigerant.
  • The airflow doesn't feel strong or steady.
    Blocked filters, problems with the refrigerant, or mechanical faults in specific units could be the cause of uneven or weak airflow.
  • Bills for energy are going up even when you aren't using more.
    If your VRV system is not working properly due to wear and tear, leaks, or control issues, your costs may rise without increased usage.
  • Error codes on the app or system controller
    When something goes wrong, modern VRV systems often show fault codes. Don't overlook them; they are signs of problems that need to be fixed.

These indicators don't always imply you need a new one. In many circumstances, a thorough repair call can fix the problem and make everything work like new again.

Why Regular Maintenance Is Important

VRV systems are challenging to understand. They need regular upkeep to stay reliable and efficient because they have many indoor units, refrigerant circuits, and complicated controls. This is why it's worth it to do maintenance every year:

  • Stops big problems from happening
    Finding little problems early, like small leaks or electrical problems, might save you money on repairs later.
  • Keeps zones working on their own
    Every zone heats or cools as it should, without any problems, as long as the refrigerant levels and control board are in excellent shape.
  • Makes the most of efficiency
    Carefully maintained systems operate smoothly, consume less energy, and reduce your utility bills.
  • Keeps your money safe
    Regular maintenance keeps your system working longer and keeps the manufacturer's warranty valid.

What Our VRV Service Visit Includes

Every time our professionals come to service your VRV, they check the whole system and make any changes that are needed to maintain it working at its best:

  • Cleaning the filters and air handlers inside
    Cleaning filters and air handlers makes the air flow better, makes them work better, and makes the air better.
  • Check the outdoor unit (condenser coils and fan motors)
    Examine the system for any debris, damage, or wear that could hinder its performance or lead to its breakdown.
  • Check the level of the refrigerant and the pressure
    For heating, cooling, and zoning to work properly, the refrigerant levels must be right.
  • Diagnostics for the thermostat and control board
    To make sure the temperature settings and zoning are correct, we test and tweak the system controls.
  • Checks of wiring and communication between units
    To avoid control failures, we check the wiring and communication signals between indoor and outdoor parts.
  • Finding breaches in the refrigerant or problems with the airflow
    Even small leaks can reduce efficiency and performance. We identify and fix these issues before they lead to significant costs.
  • Resetting the system and tweaking its performance
    We adjust your system so that it works evenly and is as comfortable as possible in every area.
  • Suggestions for fixing or improving
    If we see any problems or methods to make things go more smoothly, we'll clearly explain your alternatives without putting any pressure on you.

We can help with your VRV system whether it needs a quick fix or regular maintenance.

What are the benefits of repairing your VRV system rather than purchasing a new one?

It's not always time to buy a new VRV system when something goes wrong with it. In many cases, a targeted repair or regular maintenance can make things more comfortable, work better, and save you thousands of dollars. We believe in honest, straightforward service at AES Heating and Air Conditioning. We'll check out your VRV system, tell you exactly what's wrong, and help you decide if getting it fixed is the best option.

  • If your system is less than 10 to 12 years old, it usually makes sense to fix it.
    VRV systems made today are built to last. If your device is still within its expected lifespan, a repair can often fix the problem and make it last longer.
  • The problem is limited to one or two areas.
    If only some parts of your home or building aren't heating or cooling properly, we can often fix the zoning problem without having to replace the whole system.
  • Most of the time, the system still heats or cools the right way.
    If your system works well most of the time and the problem isn't too big, fixing it is usually the quickest and cheapest option.
  • Your energy bills haven't gone up by much.
    If your utility bills aren't going up, your system probably just needs a tune-up, not a new one.
  • You need a tune-up because you haven't done regular maintenance.
    If you don't do maintenance, your system might not work as well, but that doesn't mean it's broken. Things often get back on track with regular service.

If that sounds familiar, we can make your VRV system work like new again.

When You Need to Get a New VRV System

If your system is old, inefficient, or keeps breaking down, a full replacement is sometimes the best long-term solution. We'll help you understand your options by giving you clear advice and not trying to sell you anything.

  • Keeps breaking down or losing control of the zone
    If you have to make many repairs and have zoning problems, your system may be reaching the end of its life.
  • Can't heat or cool some areas, even after fixing them
    If comfort issues keep coming back, even after professional repairs, getting a new one may be the best solution.
  • Has big leaks of refrigerant or problems with the electrical system
    Fixing major problems with the refrigerant or electricity can be costly, and it's often not worth it on older systems.
  • Costs a lot of money because it doesn't work well
    Older VRV systems have to work harder and use more energy to do the same thing. You can save money on your monthly bills by replacing them.

If replacing makes sense, we'll help you through the whole process with clear prices, no surprises, and professional installation. Find out more about our VRV system installation services.

VRV System Service & Maintenance – Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I schedule VRV system maintenance?

We recommend servicing your VRV system at least once a year for residential use, and every 6 months for commercial systems or buildings with multiple zones. Regular maintenance keeps performance high and extends your system’s lifespan.

Why do different rooms have temperature issues?

Uneven cooling or heating is a common sign of zoning problems, dirty filters, or refrigerant imbalances. Routine maintenance helps keep each zone working independently and consistently.

What does VRV maintenance include?

A typical service visit includes cleaning indoor and outdoor units, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical connections, testing zoning controls, reviewing system diagnostics, and confirming proper refrigerant flow between zones. It’s a full-system health check.

Can you service VRV systems installed by another company?

Yes. We provide service and maintenance for any brand or installation, even if we didn’t install your system. Our certified techs are trained to work with Daikin, Mitsubishi, LG, Fujitsu, and more.

Can I skip maintenance if my system is working fine?

It’s not recommended. Even if your VRV system seems to work normally, skipping maintenance can lead to hidden refrigerant leaks, control board malfunctions, or premature wear — often resulting in costly repairs later on.

How long does a service appointment take?

Most maintenance visits take 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on the number of indoor zones and the size of your system. We’ll give you a time estimate before we begin.
