Mini Split (Ductless) Heat Pump Cleaning & HRV Systems

Have you owned a mini-split (ductless) heat pump for three or more years? Has it been professionally cleaned? Regular upkeep is essential to ensure your unit operates efficiently and provides clean, healthy air for your home. Over time, dust, dirt, and even mold can accumulate inside your unit, affecting its performance and indoor air quality.

Why Cleaning Your Mini Split Matters

Due to the moisture circulating within the system, mold, bacteria, and other contaminants can develop on the coils and fan components of your mini split heat pump. If left uncleaned, this buildup can:

• Reduce system efficiency, leading to higher energy bills
• Impact indoor air quality, causing respiratory issues and allergies
• Shorten the lifespan of your heat pump
• Increase the risk of mold growth
• Cause unpleasant odors

To prevent these issues, we recommend having your mini-split (ductless) heat pump professionally cleaned approximately every three years.

It is designed to fit your comfort needs, home layout, and budget, making it an excellent solution for homeowners looking for a reliable and cost-effective heating and cooling system.

Did you know that your ductless heat pump has filters that need to be cleaned routinely? Well  just like a dryer or vacuum, the filters inside will help increase the efficiency, longevity and overall operation of your heat pump system.

If this is news to you… or you need a refresher, keep reading!

Heat pump filters should be cleaned approximately every 3 months or as needed.

Do you have pets?

Have you renovated recently?

Have you moved into a new construction home with sawdust or drywall dust still floating around?

Then it’s possible your filters need to be cleaned more often.

Watch this video or read the steps below.

Here are the steps to do this properly:

1. To clean your filters, turn off your unit by processing the “off” button on your remote.
2. Gently lift open the front cover. If you have a Daikin heat pump, then there should be a tab on each side of the unit to help you open it.
3. Pop out the filter(s).
4. Wash with warm water or gently vacuum.
5. Leave them to air dry.
6. Once dry, pop them back into the heat pump by sliding them back in the same way they came out.
7. Close the cover gently.
8. Turn the heat pump back on by using your remote.

And that’s it!

Do you have a ducted (aka central or unitary) heat pump? Stay tuned for another blog post on how to take care of your filters.

As always, please reach out to us if you have any questions.

Do you have an old air conditioner or heat pump system installed prior to January 1, 2010? There is a chance that it still uses R22 “FREON” refrigerant.

If that’s the case, you should know that the government has been phasing out this refrigerant for awhile due to its harm to the environment. When this chemical is evaporated, it’s released into the stratosphere and damages the ozone layer. When our ozone layer becomes damaged, humans have less protection from the harmful UV rays from the sun.

Effective January 1, 2020, the government has put a stop to production and import of R22 therefore depleting the supply available. As supply decreases, it will become more difficult or nearly impossible, for manufacturers and dealers to have access to this supply. Due to this, only recycled R22 will be obtainable.

As members of the construction/HVAC industry, we are continuing to monitor the spread of COVID-19. We want to make sure we are doing our part to protect our employees, customers, and the broader community.
