A modern ductless AC system provides many benefits:
- Quiet operation
- Lower cooling costs
- Fast and even cooling
- Smaller environmental impact
We recommend scheduling professional maintenance annually to keep your system running smoothly. Many manufacturers require this service to keep the warranty valid. Additionally, regular tune-ups help lower energy costs, prevent breakdowns, and extend the system’s lifespan. We suggest scheduling a cooling tune-up in the spring and, for dual-function systems, a heating checkup in the fall. You should also clean your air filters at least once a month to maintain airflow and efficiency.
Homeowners should also monitor their mini-splits for early signs of trouble. A spike in electricity usage can signal an issue, so it’s smart to track your monthly energy bills. If you notice unusual odors, reduced airflow, or warm or cold spots, these signs could indicate problems like dirty coils or refrigerant leaks. Even small refrigerant losses can cause long-term efficiency and comfort issues if not handled quickly.
