Like any appliance, mini-splits run best when maintained properly with regular cleaning and checkups. Routine maintenance keeps the devices running optimally. When the units are left unclean for a long time, problems tend to arise.
Regular cleaning is the best preventive measure you can take to mitigate issues arising from use. This proactive measure helps mitigate: mold growth, unpleasant smells, poor air quality, and odors, as well as internal wear and tear on component parts.
Keeping your mini-split unit clean is cost-effective. When a system is clean and runs at peak performance, it does not have to work as hard. Higher energy efficiency in your air conditioning or heating unit means lower monthly costs. Overall, the units last longer and perform better over time with simple, quarterly, or bi-annual cleanings.
