Ductless Mini Split Systems are an ideal cooling and heating choice for many homeowners, who capitalize on their unobtrusive installation, comfortable zoning control and energy efficiency. Properly maintaining ductless mini splits helps them continue to provide these benefits for years. Preventative maintenance is an important factor to increase the life span of your ductless air conditioner and reduce break downs. Every year there are a few little things that you can do to make a big difference.
As soon as you notice a change in the effectiveness or efficiency of your ductless mini split heating and air conditioning system, you should call for professional service. Even when an issue seems minor, it is never a good idea to wait to have it checked out by one of our experienced technicians.
That is because when we catch problems earlier, they are generally easier and cheaper to fix. When you wait until a problem is severe, you are almost certainly going to pay more, and you may have to go without heating or air conditioning for longer than you would have otherwise. Another way to limit the need for repairs for your ductless mini split heating and air conditioning system is to keep up with regular professional maintenance for your system. This type of attention helps your ductless mini split system run more efficiently and last longer; both of which save you money in the long run.
Ductless Mini Splits have an average life span of 12 to 15 years. Mini Splits require some light maintenance. Here are some tips for maintaining ductless mini splits:
a. Check the air filters in the air handlers every month. A clean filter improves indoor-air quality, energy efficiency and performance and prevents freeze-ups.
b. Spray down the outdoor unit every few months with the garden hose to help keep it clean. If it’s not cleaned regularly, the compressor may overheat, causing damage to the system.
c. Keep the outdoor unit clear of debris, including weeds, grass, leaves or anything else that might hinder operation.
d. Check monthly to ensure that the system is draining properly by noting runoff.
e. Schedule regular preventive maintenance visits with a heating and cooling professional to optimize performance, efficiency and longevity. Your heating and cooling technician will check points including refrigerant levels, moving mechanical parts and electrical connections.
