Mini split A/C and Heat system cleaning

Do mini splits need to be cleaned?

Mini split systems need free-flowing air circulation around both the indoor and outdoor components to operate efficiently. As a result, regular filter cleanings are paramount to keeping your unit operating well in STATE

What maintenance is required for a mini split?

You should always schedule an annual inspection, cleaning, and tune-up with one of our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals at least once a year. Our experienced technicians will do a comprehensive check of your ductless system and recommend any needed maintenance

A mini-split air conditioner typically consists of an outdoor heat pump connected via a conduit to an indoor air-handling unit. The outdoor portion is the compressor, which can serve up to eight indoor units. The beauty of this system is that each indoor air handler is independent of the other indoor units and filters the air directly in the room. Therefore, the air filters need to be cleaned regularly, both for health reasons and to improve the efficiency and longevity of the system.

Each air handler has its own temperature control and its own filter. You may have seen a mini-split in a motel room, which allows each guest to control their unit’s temperature. A mini-split’s beauty is that the air handler also houses a filter, meaning air in individual rooms is filtered solely for that room. For many travelers, leery of airborne viruses like COVID, a mini-split a/c is a great comfort, both in terms of temperature control and the bonus of not ‘sharing air’ with other guests via air ducts.
