Mini Split Heat Pump Use
Using mini-split heat pumps today is cost-effective for homes and businesses for their heating and air conditioning. Mini-splits are energy efficient and easy to install because of the ductless technology. With today’s heat pump technology, mini-splits can be used for the whole house and a building’s primary heating and cooling system.
Preventive Maintenance
Good mini split preventive maintenance practice will extend the life of a mini-split system, keep it running efficiently, and help avoid unexpected breakdowns and failures.
What's Included
Mini Split Preventive maintenance would include some of the following tasks:
Inspect outdoor unit:
If the unit was installed in heavy foliage or a bushy area, leaves, cuttings, and debris will collect on and inside the unit, hampering the airflow, slowing down the heat transfer and cooling process, and working the compressor motor unnecessarily harder.
Inspect evaporator coils and fins:
Coils and fins retain the cold temperature needed to cool and heat the indoor air. However, the dirt accumulating on the coils and fins over time acts like insulation, slows the cooling process, and makes the unit operate less efficiently.
Clean filters:
Mini-splits have washable mesh filters that collect dirt and pollutants before entering the air cooling unit. Dirty filters slow the airflow, making the system run longer to circulate air. Dirt will also enter the system, causing problems with the louver vent operation if the filters are not maintained.
Check system performance:
The refrigerant flows through pipes, called line sets, cooling the evaporator coils and transferring heat outdoors. If levels are low, the refrigerant will not get cold enough to cool properly. Low levels also indicate a leak that is not only unsafe for the environment but affects the air operation of the whole mini-split system.
Examine condensate pan and drains:
During air conditioning, the indoor unit sheds condensation water out of the house through drain hoses or pipes; during the heating season, the outdoor unit sheds condensation water into a pan under the unit. Excess water in either location suggests a slow or blocked drain that needs to be corrected.
