The Importance of Maintaining Your Mini Split AC Units

May 15, 2024

Mini split and built-in AC wall units have become increasingly popular due to their efficiency and space-saving design. Maintaining these systems is crucial to prevent mold growth and ensure they continue to operate both safely and effectively. Here's a guide to keeping your unit in safe, working condition.

Ongoing Maintenance

Qualified technicians can perform comprehensive cleaning and ongoing maintenance, ensuring that your mini split AC not only cools effectively but also supports optimal indoor air quality. To protect the longevity and efficiency of your unit, we recommend scheduling seasonal inspections and servicing by experienced professionals.

Look for Signs of Mold

Despite regular maintenance, mold can still develop in mini split systems. Mold thrives in the warm, damp environments that can occur within these units, posing health risks and even leading to eventual structural damage in your home. Be vigilant and regularly check for any signs of mold, such as:

Moisture accumulation near the unit
A stale or "cheesy" odor coming from your unit
Visible black splotches on or inside the air handler
