While it is imperative to always have professional maintenance every year, there are a few tips and tricks that you can perform yourself in between tune-ups:
Make sure to dust your mini-split unit with a damp cloth while you do the rest of your normal cleaning routine. Additionally, ensure that outdoor vents are free of any blockages.
While ductless mini-splits take up significantly less space than conventional HVAC units, it is still important to give them plenty of room and space to operate. This will help prevent dirt and various debris from infiltrating the unit.
It is reported that clogged and dirty filters can reduce the efficiency of your ductless system by as much as 20%! Ensure that you change your filters according to the manufacturer’s instructions and clean and replace them at least once a month during the Southern, CA summer months.
Make sure to keep the outside component of your ductless mini-split as clean of dirt and debris as you possibly can. You can use a garden hose to remove any dirt or debris from the unit.
