Why Mini Split Maintenance Matters

Ductless systems are energy efficient by design—but that efficiency only lasts with routine upkeep. Without proper care, even the best mini splits can suffer from airflow issues, component strain, and declining indoor air quality.

Here’s what proper maintenance can deliver:

• Lower energy bills through optimized performance
• Extended system lifespan, often 15–20+ years with care
• Fewer repairs because of early issue detection
• Improved indoor air quality with cleaner air circulation
• Manufacturer warranty protection through documented service

Neglecting maintenance doesn’t just lead to higher costs—it shortens the life of your investment.

Signs Your Mini Split Needs Maintenance

While scheduled maintenance is ideal, there are times when your system may send you warning signs that it needs attention sooner:

• Reduced airflow or uneven temperatures
• Unusual noises like buzzing, rattling, or grinding
• Spike in energy bills without increased usage
• Musty odors when the system runs
• Ice buildup on the indoor unit or outdoor coil
• Delayed start-up or frequent cycling

If you're experiencing any of these issues in your home in Levittown, Abington, Feasterville, or Newtown, don’t wait. Contact Ray’s Heating & Air for a prompt inspection and tune-up.

How Often Should Mini Splits Be Maintained?

For optimal performance, follow this simple maintenance schedule:

• Filter cleaning: Every 2–4 weeks, depending on usage and indoor air quality
• Outdoor unit inspection: Monthly during spring/summer to ensure airflow
• Professional tune-up: At least once per year, ideally before peak cooling season

Homes with pets, high traffic, or allergy concerns may benefit from more frequent cleanings.

Step-by-Step Filter Cleaning Guide

Maintaining your mini split’s filters is the easiest DIY step you can take between professional tune-ups. Here’s how:

• Turn off the system. Safety first.
• Open the indoor unit’s front panel.
• Remove the air filters. Slide them out gently.
• Clean the filters. Rinse with warm water or vacuum with a soft brush. Use mild soap if needed.
• Let them dry completely. Avoid reinstalling while damp to prevent mold.
• Reinsert and close the panel. You're good to go!

Monitor Your System’s Refrigerant Levels

• Ensuring coils are clean and free from frost
• Recharging refrigerant if necessary (with EPA-certified technicians)

If you notice weak cooling or frost on your system, don’t wait—schedule a service call immediately.

Smart Practices for Everyday Efficiency

Here are five simple tips to keep your mini split running more efficiently:

• Use programmable settings. Set schedules that match your usage patterns.
• Turn off when not in use. Avoid cooling rooms you’re not in.
• Keep indoor unit sensors clean. This helps detect temperature accurately.
• Close blinds on hot days. Reduce direct sunlight to lower cooling demand.
• Pair with ceiling fans. Air circulation supports faster comfort with less strain.
