Deep Cleaning & Maintenance

Why Deep Cleaning is Essential

While ductless mini-splits are incredibly efficient, they are also highly susceptible to dirt, dust, and mold buildup. Because the indoor units constantly circulate the air in your room, their internal components—specifically the blower wheel and the evaporator coil—act as a magnet for airborne particulates and moisture.

Over time, this buildup not only restricts airflow and forces the unit to work harder (increasing your energy bills), but it also creates a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. If you've noticed a musty smell when you turn on your unit, or if it seems like it's not blowing as hard or as cold as it used to, it's time for a professional deep clean.

The Tri City Deep Clean Process

Wiping down the outside plastic and rinsing the basic mesh filters is maintenance you can do yourself, but a true deep clean requires professional equipment. Our comprehensive cleaning process includes:

• Component Teardown: We carefully remove the outer casing, louvers, and filters to access the internal coil and blower wheel.
• Custom Bib Installation: We install a waterproof catch basin (bib) around your indoor unit to protect your walls and flooring during the wash process.
• Pressurized Wash: Using specialized, eco-friendly coil cleaners and a custom pressure washer designed specifically for mini-splits, we blast away years of impacted dirt and mold from the coil and blower wheel.
• Condensate Line Flush: We flush the drain line to ensure water flows freely, preventing future leaks and backups.
• Outdoor Unit Maintenance: We clear debris from the outdoor condenser coil, ensuring optimal heat transfer and efficiency.

Benefits of Regular Maintenance

We recommend a professional deep clean every 1-2 years, depending on usage, pets, and indoor air quality. Regular cleaning restores your unit's efficiency, extends its lifespan by reducing strain on the motor, and ensures the air you breathe is fresh, clean, and healthy.
