How to Maintain Your Ductless Mini Split
Regular maintenance is the key to unlocking your ductless mini-split system’s lifespan and performance. From scorching summer afternoons to sub‑zero winter nights, Utah’s dramatic temperature swings can push HVAC equipment hard. That’s why Just Right Plumbing, Heating & Cooling offers specialized ductless mini‑split maintenance designed for Salt Lake City homes. Our NATE‑certified technicians clean, inspect, and calibrate every component, ensuring reliable heating and cooling while reducing energy costs and preventing surprise breakdowns.
Why Schedule Annual Ductless Maintenance
Our licensed Salt Lake City team at Just Right is here to help keep your ductless mini split running at full capacity. We always recommend scheduling an inspection, cleaning, and tune-up with one of our NATE-certified professionals at least once a year. The most important reason for a tune-up is to keep your system running when needed. Scheduled service calls also keep your system compliant with the manufacturer’s warranty. These visits also allow our experts to uncover minor issues before they become inconvenient and costly repairs.
Energy Savings
A clean, well‑calibrated mini‑split can cut electricity use by up to 25 percent compared with a neglected unit.
Longer Equipment Life
Routine service reduces wear on compressors, fans and electronic boards, helping your system reach or exceed its 15‑ to 20‑year lifespan.
Improved Indoor Air Quality
Filter cleaning and coil sanitizing remove dust, pollen, and mold spores, keeping the air in your home fresher.
Warranty Protection:
Most manufacturers require professional tune‑ups to keep parts warranties valid.
Quiet, Consistent Comfort
Properly maintained units run whisper‑quiet and deliver steady temperatures without sudden shut‑offs or ice buildup.
DIY Ductless Maintenance Tip
Ductless mini‑splits thrive on unobstructed airflow. Let a filter clog or debris crowd the outdoor unit, and efficiency plummets while wear and tear skyrocket. Give your system a quick check each month to keep it healthy and cost‑effective:
Monthly Filter Checks: Rinse or replace filters every 30 days to maintain airflow.
Clear the Outdoor Unit: Keep at least four feet of clearance and remove leaves, snow, or debris.
Monitor for Changes: Call us if you notice unusual noises, reduced airflow, or error codes.
Ductless Mini Split FAQs
How often should I service my ductless mini‑split?
We recommend a professional tune‑up once a year—typically in the spring or fall—to prepare for peak heating or cooling season.
Can I clean my mini‑split myself?
Homeowners can safely clean filters and wipe exterior surfaces, but internal components and refrigerant checks should be left to certified technicians.
Will maintenance lower my energy bills?
A tuned mini‑split runs more efficiently, often reducing electricity costs by 10–25 percent.
Do you service all ductless brands?
Absolutely. Our technicians maintain Mitsubishi, Daikin, LG, Fujitsu, GREE, and all other major mini‑split brands.
What happens if I skip annual maintenance?
Neglected systems are more prone to leaks, ice buildup, and electrical failures—leading to higher repair costs and shorter equipment life.
Are ductless systems efficient?
A quality central air conditioning unit has a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating between 14 and 16. A top-performing ductless system will typically have a SEER rating above 20. Plus, they operate whisper-quiet.
Do ductless mini splits work in cold weather?
Recent advancements in compressor technology enable your high-quality heat pump to operate effectively in sub-zero degree weather. You can count on these systems to keep you cozy and warm throughout the winter months here in Utah.
