The old saying “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” doesn’t apply to a ductless system like a mini-split heat pump. Any professional who works with ductless regularly has seen issues with ductless systems that could have been easily prevented by proper maintenance procedures.
The key to proper maintenance is to follow procedures that both improve the equipment condition, test for impending issues while doing no harm to the system or space surrounding the system.
Proper Maintenance Procedure Improves:
Energy Efficiency
Clean and well-maintained systems produce more BTUs per input watt. This leads to savings for the customer on their utility bill.
System Performance (Comfort)
On ductless systems, dirt on the coils and blower wheel can quickly lead to poor output, temperature and humidity control.
Breakdown Prevention
Preventing failures of all types through cleaning and observation is the top priority of every successful maintenance. It is also imperative that the technician makes sure that that they don’t CAUSE any issues in the process.
System Longevity
Proper maintenance can extend system life by catching impending catastrophic issues and dealing with problems that can cause abnormal wear.
Indoor Air Quality
Cleaner air handlers leads to cleaner air by removing dirt and microbial growth before it becomes an IAQ issue.
