What does maintenance do for me?
Proper maintenance will ensure that you stay comfortable for years to come, no matter what type of air conditioning system you have. In regards to ductless mini-split systems specifically, general upkeep and maintenance can keep your system running smoothly and efficiently for 12-15 years. There are a number of factors to consider that may impact your system’s longevity, though.
Ductless mini-split systems are different from traditional units in the sense that they’re capable of pumping both cool and hot air where you need it most. This means that ductless mini-split maintenance should be performed in both the spring and fall seasons (to prepare for your system’s peak usage). Failure to upkeep your ductless mini-split system may result in a 10-15% loss in performance, which may cause you to need a replacement far before your system’s estimated expiration. Don’t worry, we can help!
Is there anything I can do?
Where there’s a will there’s a way, and ductless mini-split maintenance is no different. Your number one priority should be cleaning or replacing your air filters as needed. This is something you’ll want to regularly check into if you have pets or persons in your home that suffer from chronic allergies. This is especially important if saving money is your goal. Dirty filters block heat exchange, which can directly increase your monthly energy bill.
Don’t forget to periodically check the outside cabinet for build-ups of leaves, ice and snow. You should aim to maintain 5 feet of clearance around the outside cabinet so that airflow is not obstructed.
