Mini split systems are known for their energy efficiency and quiet operation, but like any HVAC system, they need proper care to perform at their best. Over time, dirt, dust, and growth can build up inside your unit, leading to poor airflow, musty odors, and make indoor air quality worse.
At Carini Home Services, we offer a Deep Cleaning for mini split systems — a service that goes far beyond standard ductless mini split maintenance. This in-depth process helps restore your system’s performance and refresh the air in your home.
What Is a Mini Split Deep Cleaning?
Our Deep Cleaning service is more comprehensive than a typical tune-up. Our skilled technicians carefully take apart both the air handler and the outdoor condenser unit for a deeper cleaning.
Here’s what we do during a Deep Cleaning:
-
Remove and thoroughly clean the blower fans and motors
-
Deep clean the evaporator coils and condenser coils
-
Clean and sanitize the filters
-
Clear out any built-up debris inside the units like foliage, yard scraps, bugs and droppings
-
Inspect for signs of mold, mildew, and algae growth
By addressing every part of the system, we help it operate more efficiently and deliver cleaner, fresher air to your home.
Why Deep Cleaning Your Mini Split Matters
Over time, dirt and moisture inside a mini-split can create a breeding ground for bacteria and mold. This buildup can cause unpleasant smells, like the infamous “dirty sock syndrome”, and contribute to poor indoor air quality.
A Deep Cleaning can help:
-
Increase airflow: Dust and grime can block the blower and coils, making it harder for your mini split to push out air. Cleaning restores full airflow and improves comfort.
-
Eliminate odors: Deep cleaning removes the buildup that causes mildew smells and dirty sock syndrome.
-
Improve indoor air quality: A cleaner system reduces the circulation of allergens, dust, and mold spores in your home.
-
Boost efficiency: When your system is clean, it doesn’t have to work as hard, which helps lower energy costs.
-
Extend equipment life: While we can’t guarantee your mini split will last longer, a clean system reduces strain on critical components.
It’s important to note that a Deep Cleaning is not a miracle fix for older or failing systems. However, it has been proven to improve airflow, eliminate odors, and increase indoor quality by
Is It Worth It?
Absolutely. If your mini split smells musty, struggles to maintain airflow, or you haven’t had it cleaned in over a year, a Deep Cleaning is a smart investment. Regular deep cleanings can help you avoid expensive repairs down the line and maintain a healthier living environment.
How Often Should You Deep Clean Your Mini Split?
Depending on your location and how often your run your system, we recommend 2-3 years. Homes with pets, smokers, or high humidity may benefit from more frequent cleanings. Regular maintenance in between deep cleanings will also help keep your system in top shape, and should not be used to replace regular maintenance.
