Mini Split Maintenance

Mini split ductless HVAC systems are growing in popularity quickly in the U.S.A.  Estimates put the install base of mini split air conditioning systems at over 1.2 million units and growing at annual rate of over 12% a year. As a professional HVAC technician, this offer both opportunity and challenge on the preventative maintenance side of mini split systems.

Mini Split Ductless Systems offer great convenience, but have their maintenance challenges.

Maintenance of mini splits needs to occur on a similar calendar as maintaining standard air conditioning systems. This should occur twice a year in order to maintain system efficiency and indoor air quality. however many challenges exist to properly cleaning and maintaining mini split ductless systems.  Size of coils, installation area and location above ground all offer challenges.  Plus, if you plan to use wet cleaning for your coils you have to account for smaller condensate lines and pitch of the unit so you don’t flood the area. Some ductless systems have common problems with managing the water away from the coils leading to mold, mildew and odor problems.
