Keeping filters, coils, and drains in good condition

Reduced airflow, a musty smell, or water around an indoor unit is worth checking. Filters, coils, and drains can need attention even when the system still turns on.

During a maintenance visit, we look at those areas and test how the system is running. If the system needs a repair, we’ll explain what we found and discuss the price before you decide.

From the field

Areas we check during maintenance

Property maintenance

Filters, airflow, and drainage

Filters, coils, and drainage all need attention over the life of a mini-split. If airflow becomes weaker, water appears around the unit, or a musty smell develops, a maintenance visit can help identify the cause.

For a rental property, agree on a filter-care routine and a way for occupants to report changes. That gives you a clearer picture of which systems need attention.

Cleaning products

Choosing suitable cleaning products

Cleaning methods and products need to suit the equipment. Follow the instructions for your model before working on filters or other accessible parts.

If you're unsure what to clean or which product to use, ask us before cleaning inside the unit.

Routine care and service checks

Routine care

Looking after the filters and outdoor unit

Follow the filter-care instructions for your model and keep the area around the outdoor unit clear. A system near a kitchen or used in a home with pets may need more frequent attention.

A new system still needs its routine care. If you aren't sure when to arrange a service visit, tell us the model, how you use it, and what maintenance it has had.

Service checks

Checks during a service visit

Our service checks include electrical connections, system operation, and a refrigerant leak-detector sweep. We investigate further when measurements or symptoms point to a problem.

Contact us if heating or cooling becomes weaker, you notice water or an unusual smell, or you need help planning maintenance for the property.
