Professional Mini-Split AC Maintenance

You should schedule a professional tune-up to handle more complicated maintenance tasks at least once a year. Some of the tasks the technicians perform include:

Low refrigerant levels can lead to frozen evaporator coils, driving up energy costs and potentially causing significant damage. A technician will check for a refrigerant leak and, if detected, will repair the leak and replenish the refrigerant as required.
The HVAC technician will check the electrical AC components of both the indoor air handler and outdoor condenser, including wire connections. For optimal performance, these connections often need cleaning, tightening, and rust-preventing lubrication.
The reversing valve allows your mini-split heat pump to switch between heating and cooling modes. If the valve isn’t working correctly, you may face issues when changing between heating and cooling. Professionals will evaluate the valve’s performance during mini-split maintenance and check if it needs replacement.
