Mini-Split Service

Professional Mini-Split Service for Optimal Performance

Your ductless mini-split system is a sophisticated piece of equipment designed for high-efficiency heating and cooling. To maintain that efficiency, ensure healthy indoor air quality, and prolong its operational lifespan, routine professional service is not just recommended—it's essential. Over time, dust, debris, and microbial contaminants can build up within the indoor and outdoor units, compromising performance and forcing your system to work harder. Our comprehensive mini-split service is meticulously designed to address these issues, restoring your system to its peak operational state.

The Importance of Regular Mini-Split Maintenance

Unlike traditional HVAC systems, mini-splits have compact components that are highly susceptible to performance degradation from dirt and grime. The indoor air handler, with its dense evaporator coil and blower wheel, is a prime environment for dust, mold, and bacteria to accumulate. When this happens, you may notice a decrease in cooling or heating power, an increase in your energy bills, or even unpleasant odors circulating through your home.

Neglecting regular service can lead to a cascade of problems:

• Reduced Efficiency: A layer of dust on the evaporator coil acts as an insulator, hindering the heat exchange process. This forces the system to run longer and harder to reach your desired temperature, significantly increasing energy consumption.
• Poor Indoor Air Quality: The dark, damp environment inside the air handler is an ideal breeding ground for mold and mildew. These contaminants are then circulated throughout your living space every time the system runs, potentially aggravating allergies and respiratory issues.
• System Strain and Premature Failure: When components like the blower wheel are caked with dirt, the motor is placed under additional strain. This can lead to overheating, component wear, and costly breakdowns that could have been easily prevented.
• Water Leaks and Damage: Clogged condensate drain lines are a common issue in unmaintained mini-splits, leading to water backing up and overflowing from the indoor unit, potentially causing significant damage to your walls and floors.

Our specialized service targets every critical component of your mini-split, ensuring it runs cleanly, efficiently, and reliably.

Our Comprehensive Mini-Split Service Process

We provide a thorough, multi-point service that goes far beyond a simple filter wipe-down. Our technicians are trained to meticulously clean and inspect your entire system to restore its performance and efficiency.

Indoor Unit (Evaporator) Deep Cleaning and Inspection:

The indoor unit is the heart of your system's air delivery. Our process involves carefully disassembling the unit to access and clean components that are otherwise unreachable.

• Blower Wheel Cleaning: We remove the blower wheel, or "squirrel cage," and perform a deep cleaning to remove all caked-on dust, grime, and microbial growth. A clean blower wheel moves air more effectively and quietly.
• Evaporator Coil Cleaning: Using specialized, non-corrosive cleaning agents and low-pressure flushing, we thoroughly clean the evaporator coil to remove all contaminants, restoring its ability to efficiently transfer heat.
• Drain Pan and Line Flush: We clear the condensate drain pan and flush the drain line to ensure proper drainage, preventing water leaks and the growth of algae and mold.
• Filter Cleaning and Sanitization: We clean and sanitize the reusable mesh filters and advise on replacement schedules for any specialized filters your unit may have.
• Casing and Louver Sanitization: The entire unit casing and directional louvers are wiped down and sanitized to ensure the air leaving your unit is clean.

Outdoor Unit (Condenser) Cleaning and Inspection:

The outdoor unit is responsible for releasing heat from your home. Its performance is critical to the overall efficiency of the system.

• Condenser Coil Cleaning: We clear away leaves, grass clippings, and other debris before professionally cleaning the condenser coils to ensure maximum airflow and heat dissipation.
• Electrical Component Check: Our technicians inspect all electrical connections, capacitors, and wiring for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage, ensuring safe and reliable operation.
• Fan Inspection: We check the condenser fan motor and blades for proper function and balance, ensuring efficient operation.
• Refrigerant Level Check: While not always required during routine maintenance, we can check refrigerant pressures if performance issues are noted, ensuring the system is properly charged for optimal efficiency.

System Performance and Safety Verification:

After the cleaning is complete, we reassemble your system and conduct a series of performance tests.

• Temperature Differential Test: We measure the temperature of the air entering and leaving the indoor unit to verify it is cooling or heating effectively.
• Operational Checkout: We run the system through its various modes and fan speeds to ensure all functions are working correctly.
• Final Inspection: We perform a final check to ensure there are no unusual noises or vibrations and that the system is operating smoothly.
