Here’s your guide to keeping your ductless unit in top shape.
Why End-of-Season Maintenance Matters
Ductless air conditioning units are a fantastic way to stay cool, but neglecting them at summer’s end can lead to costly repairs. Proper maintenance ensures your system runs efficiently when you need it next, extending its lifespan and maintaining indoor comfort. Our Comfort Advisors at Benner Heating & Air recommend a few simple steps to protect your investment and keep your home ready for any season.
Clean or Replace Air Filters
Your ductless unit’s filters trap dust, dirt, and allergens during the summer. Clogged filters reduce efficiency and strain the system. At the end of the season, remove and clean reusable filters with warm, soapy water, or replace disposable ones. Clean filters improve air quality and ensure your unit operates smoothly, saving you money on energy bills.
Clear the Outdoor Unit
The outdoor component of your ductless system can collect debris like leaves, grass, or dirt over the summer. Inspect the unit and gently clear away any buildup around it. Ensure there’s at least a metre of clearance for proper airflow. Our Comfort Advisors suggest checking for any signs of wear or damage and scheduling a professional inspection to address potential issues early.
Schedule a Professional Tune-Up
While DIY maintenance is helpful, a professional tune-up by Benner Heating & Air’s Comfort Advisors ensures your ductless unit is thoroughly checked. We inspect refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and system performance to catch small problems before they grow. Our locally operated, community-focused team is committed to exceeding your expectations with every service, delivering better peace of mind.
Protect Your Unit for Winter
In Oakland City’s chilly winters, protecting your ductless unit is key. Cover the outdoor unit with a weatherproof cover to shield it from snow and ice, but ensure it’s breathable to prevent moisture buildup. Indoors, keep the unit clean and dust-free. These steps help maintain your system’s efficiency and prepare it for next summer’s heat.
