Seasonal Tune-Ups for Ductless Mini-Splits
How often and when should you schedule mini-split maintenance? The answer depends on the kind of system you have. Two core types of ductless mini-splits exist: air conditioners and heat pumps. If you have a cooling-only mini-split, you need one appointment a year. Schedule it in the spring, in advance of the warmer months. If you have a heat pump, you need two tune-ups. Schedule one in the spring and again in the fall, before the colder months.
There are many excellent reasons to schedule seasonal tune-ups. Most mini-split warranties require them as a condition of coverage. Another issue is that mini-split components get dirty, loose, and otherwise worn over time. Addressing these issues helps avoid many common repairs. It can also improve efficiency, which lowers your carbon footprint and operating costs. Ignoring this wear and tear will accumulate and may even shorten the system’s lifespan.
All air-source mini-splits have an outdoor condenser unit. Its role is to exchange heat between the refrigerant and the ambient air. It houses a condenser pump, which requires seasonal tuning. There’s also a condenser coil that can accumulate grime over time, and a technician must remove it with a coil cleaner. The condenser fan requires lubrication and balancing, and removing any leaves and other debris from the housing itself may also be necessary.
A mini-split system has one or more indoor air handlers, and those units also require seasonal service. One reason is the evaporator coil, which is the other half of the refrigeration process. It needs cleaning to run efficiently and to remove dirt and microbial growth that could impact air quality. The blower requires lubrication and balancing. It may also be necessary to clean any clogs from the drainage line.
Ductless mini-splits have many components that require regular service:
- Air handler
- HVAC filters
- Evaporator coils
- Condensate drainage lines
- Condenser coil, pump, and fan
