How Often Ductless Mini-Split Maintenance Is Needed
You should have your ductless mini-split system maintained at least once per year. This might not be enough if you use your system to heat and cool zones or rooms in your home, though. If you use your mini-split system for heating in winter and cooling in summer, plan on having maintenance done twice a year. Ideally, schedule professional maintenance every fall and every spring. This helps ensure that your ductless mini-split system is ready for winter and summer.
What Ductless Mini-Split Maintenance Includes
Maintenance of your ductless mini-split system involves both professional and DIY tasks. You can handle the DIY tasks on your own. The HVAC experts at Chesterfield Service can tackle the professional maintenance tasks for you.
DIY Maintenance
Some responsibility for maintenance relies on the owner of the mini-split system. Simple chores like cleaning the filters on the indoor units as often as the manufacturer recommends can really help keep your system healthy.

Benefits of Ductless Mini-Split Maintenance
Scheduling ductless mini-split maintenance is an important part of keeping your system in good working condition. When you have Chesterfield Service handle maintenance, you can expect all of the following benefits:
Lower Risk of Repairs
A ductless mini-split system that’s been maintained has a lower chance of breaking down or needing other repairs. During maintenance visits, our technicians can check for any signs of trouble that should be addressed before major problems occur. Having a lower risk of repairs means you’ll have more reliable heating and cooling, while also saving money.
Better Energy Efficiency
Routine maintenance on your ductless mini-split system leads to better energy efficiency. Your system will use less energy, which helps lower your heating and cooling bills. Without regular maintenance, your system can end up using more energy than it should.
Warranty Requirements
If you have a warranty on your ductless mini-split system, then maintenance is incredibly important. Most manufacturers require maintenance as part of keeping the warranty intact. When you don’t have maintenance performed by a professional HVAC company on a regular basis, this might void your warranty. That means you might end up having to cover the entire cost of repairs if you have problems with your ductless mini-split system.
Extended Lifespan
Taking good care of your ductless mini-split system with a combination of DIY and professional maintenance can help it last longer.
