Tips for Avoiding Ductless Air Conditioning Repairs
There are ways to minimize the need for repairs on your ductless air conditioner. It requires a little work and routine cleaning of the unit. Here are a few tips for keeping your Mitsubishi ductless air conditioner in great shape.
Clean Your Air Filter
Your air filters are the first line of defense to keep dirt, debris, and allergens out of your air conditioning unit. A clogged air filter can cause damage to your unit and cause it to work harder and hotter, shortening the lifespan of the air conditioner. You need to wash your air filters every two weeks to keep them clean and free of dirt and debris.
Professional Maintenance and Tuneup Ahead of the Cooling Season
In the spring, you need to bring your local HVAC company to your home to maintain your Mitsubishi ductless air conditioner. The technician will check your entire system and clean your air filters. They’ll tighten connections and add coolant if needed. If they notice any wear and tear, they may recommend replacement parts or repairs.
Clean and Check the Pipes for Leaks
The pipes are responsible for pushing air out into your home. The pipes also move air between the inside and outside units. If there are dirt and debris in the pipes, it can cause damage and the need for repairs. While cleaning out the pipes, you need to check them carefully for leaks that need to be repaired before they become larger. Also, leaks can cause the entire air conditioning unit to work harder and less efficiently.
