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.

Step-by-Step Mini Split Cleaning Process

If you prefer to read the steps, here’s a breakdown of what our technicians do during a professional cleaning:

Indoor Unit Cleaning Steps:

  1. Install a plastic protective bib to catch any debris and prevent mess during the cleaning process. This ensures that surrounding areas remain clean and free from water damage.
  2. Apply a coil cleaner to loosen dirt, dust, and mold buildup. This is left to sit for a few minutes to break down contaminants. Using a high-quality cleaner helps dissolve stubborn grime for a more effective cleaning.
  3. Pressurized water is used to rinse the coil thoroughly. The dirty water flows down the protective bib into a bucket for disposal. This step flushes out all loosened debris, restoring the coil’s efficiency.
  4. Clean the fan wheel at the back of the unit, ensuring any buildup is removed for optimal airflow. A clean fan wheel enhances air circulation and reduces strain on the system.
  5. Dispose of dirty water and reassemble the unit so it’s ready to run efficiently again. Our technician will conduct a final inspection to ensure everything is functioning properly.

Outdoor Unit Cleaning:

If the outdoor unit also needs cleaning, our technician will use a pressure washer to remove debris from the coils and fan blades, ensuring maximum performance. This helps maintain proper airflow and prevents strain on the system, extending its lifespan.

HRV Systems: A Key Component of Indoor Air Quality

While keeping your mini-split (ductless) heat pump clean is essential, integrating an HRV system (Heat Recovery Ventilation system) can further enhance your home’s air quality. HRV Systems works by exchanging stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering heat from the outgoing air, making them an energy-efficient solution for ventilation.

Benefits of HRV Systems:

  • Improved Indoor Air Quality: HRV systems help remove contaminants, excess humidity, and odors.
  • Energy Efficiency: They recover up to 90% of the heat from exhaust air, reducing heating costs.
  • Better Climate Control: Helps balance humidity levels, preventing mold growth.

When paired with a properly maintained mini split heat pump, an HRV system ensures your home remains comfortable, energy-efficient, and free from airborne pollutants.
