Mini Split Maintenance FAQs
How often should a mini split HVAC system be professionally cleaned?
If used exclusively for cooling, mini split ductless systems should be serviced once a year by a professional HVAC technician, and twice annually, if it’s also used for heating your home.
What can homeowners do to maintain their mini split system?
Every 4-6 weeks, clean both the inside and outside of the indoor unit with a dry cloth or vacuum, and clean the air filters according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Periodically inspect the outdoor unit and remove accumulated leaves and debris. Clean the coils of the outdoor unit with a garden hose, but do not use a high-pressure nozzle and make sure the system is powered off until the unit is completely dry.
