How Often Do Mini-Splits Need Maintenance?

Ductless systems require the same amount of attention as your heating system or water heater and should receive routine maintenance each year. Depending on your needs, this can be done immediately before or after the cooling season, but having it scheduled at a regular interval can keep your system running efficiently and save you the hassle of an unexpected breakdown. It also helps to maintain your manufacturer’s warranty.

Ductless Mini-Split Repair Services for Massachusetts

Also known as a ductless air conditioner, a mini-split system can be installed in any room of your home independently of your central air system. These systems can provide cooling to places where there is no HVAC ductwork – like a garage or a home addition – using only an outdoor compressor attached to the unit. In addition to being a cost-effective choice compared to constructing new ducts, these units are much more energy efficient because they don’t require extra work out of your central air system.

When it comes to installing and maintaining ductless mini-split systems, Heritage Home Service is Massachusetts’ top choice for service. Our technicians are continually trained on the newest technologies to keep your system running every year. Our team is Massachusetts’ most knowledgeable and experienced ductless mini-split repair technicians, helping you get the most out of your system for as long as you live in your home.

What Are the Most Common Mini-Split Repair Issues?

Without regular maintenance and cleaning, mini-split systems can break down over time. Some of the most common problems we see include:

Clogged condensate line: Condensate drainage systems ensure excess moisture doesn’t build up in your unit and keeps it running smoothly. If you’re noticing an increased amount of moisture around your mini-split system, it could be a result of a clogged condensate line from mold or debris buildup.
Strange noises from the indoor or outdoor unit: A quiet mini-split system means it is running smoothly, while a noisy system could indicate a number of issues. It could be creating wear on the plastic housing from expansion and compression, or continually running in de-icing mode.
Strange smells coming from the indoor unit: Odd smells coming from your unit are an indication that something may be leaking inside. Excessive moisture could result in a buildup of mold or mildew, while other smells could mean there is a coolant leak or electrical issues inside the unit.
System not cooling or heating: If your system isn’t working at all, it could be time to change or replace internal mechanisms. Malfunctions could be the result of anything from a clogged filter to a broken compressor.
System not keeping up with demand: A system that won’t keep up with regular use could be the result of a broken thermostat or a malfunctioning compressor. Both of these systems require expert repair, and cannot be fixed by the owner.
System not turning on: A system that won’t turn on could be a simple fix – like checking the electrical panel for a break, or changing the system remote batteries – or could be indicative of a bigger problem. If you’ve checked the easy fixes, call in the experts of Heritage Home Service to troubleshoot the problem.

How Often Should I Have My Mini-Split Serviced?

Just like any other mechanical system in your home, regular use of your mini-split system will result in wear and tear on the unit. As a basic recommendation, your mini-split unit should be maintained at least once per year – usually at the beginning of the spring or summer season. An annual upkeep call can make sure all your system’s parts remain clean and in good working condition before it gets heavy use. Moreover, an annual service call can diagnose and fix small problems before they turn into expensive breakdowns.

Can I Maintain My Own Mini-Split System?

There are some maintenance tasks owners can do on their mini-split systems. Regular cleaning of your indoor mini-split system while clearing the outdoor unit of dirt and debris can go a long way in keeping it running like new. The most complicated tasks – like changing air filters and troubleshooting operational problems with your mini-split system – are best left to the expert technicians of Heritage Home Service.

       I had a tree come down on the electric service between my house and the pole which not only severed the wire but also destroyed the service on the side of the house. I called Heritage and they dispatched Erik to assist me. He was prompt, courteous, and very knowledgeable, and repaired the damage quickly. Very satisfied, will call again if I need service in the future!

      Justin was a gem. Fixed what others thought was too complicated (it was not). Reviewed other work that I need done- educated me on some safety features. Will use Heritage with no hesitation and hopefully Justin will do all my electrical work!

      Called Saturday afternoon for an appointment for a leaky toilet in a rental property. Not an emergency, so he came out promptly Monday morning as agreed, gave a quick diagnosis, took care of the problem quickly. Heritage is pricey, but do you know how long it can take to get most plumbers to your door? Prompt service meant a lot of value-add in this situation.
