Preventative Maintenance for Ductless Mini-Splits



Comprehensive Support to Keep Your System Running Strong

At Santa Fe Ductless, LLC, we believe consistent preventive maintenance is essential to the long-term performance of a mini-split system. While ductless systems are highly energy-efficient, skipping regular maintenance can lead to reduced efficiency, higher energy costs, and avoidable repairs. As the only company in the area dedicated exclusively to Mitsubishi ductless mini-split systems, our team brings specialized expertise to every service visit.


Our customized maintenance programs include thorough inspections, professional cleaning, and performance testing of all critical components, including refrigerant levels, electrical connections, and air filters. This proactive approach helps extend system lifespan, improve indoor air quality, and maintain peak efficiency. With advanced training in inverter-driven technology, our technicians ensure precise, reliable care for both standard and upgraded systems.


Our Preventative Maintenance Services

Comprehensive System Inspection

 We conduct a thorough evaluation of your mini-split system, inspecting every component for signs of wear, damage, or inefficiency. Our technicians check electrical connections, refrigerant levels, thermostats, and unit alignment. This thorough inspection ensures minor issues are detected early, preventing costly breakdowns and optimizing system performance throughout the year.

Coil and Filter Cleaning

Dirty coils and clogged filters reduce efficiency and strain the system. We meticulously clean indoor and outdoor coils, ensuring unobstructed airflow. Filters are professionally cleaned or replaced, improving air quality and maintaining consistent heating and cooling, while reducing energy consumption and wear on the compressor.

Refrigerant Level Check and Optimization

Maintaining the proper refrigerant charge is critical for system performance. Our team measures and adjusts refrigerant levels to prevent inefficiencies, freezing, or overheating. By addressing leaks or low refrigerant promptly, we ensure consistent comfort and extend the lifespan of your mini-split system.

Electrical and Control Component Testing

We carefully inspect and test electrical components, including fuses, wiring, and control boards. Ensuring all connections are secure prevents unexpected shutdowns, reduces fire hazards, and ensures safe and reliable operation. Our proactive approach helps detect issues before they escalate, safeguarding both system performance and safety.

Fan and Blower Maintenance

Fans and blowers circulate air throughout the space. Over time, dust, debris, and mechanical wear can reduce the efficiency of the system. We clean and lubricate fan blades, check motor operation, and ensure balanced airflow. This ensures your system maintains proper air distribution and operates quietly and efficiently.

Seasonal Performance Testing

We conduct thorough performance tests aligned with seasonal demands, simulating real-world heating and cooling conditions. This evaluation identifies irregularities, ensures the system meets required temperature output, and verifies that all components function efficiently. Seasonal testing helps homeowners avoid inconvenient service calls during peak usage.


Benefits of Preventative Maintenance

Improved Energy Efficiency

Regular maintenance ensures systems operate at peak efficiency, reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Efficient mini-splits use less electricity. Optimized airflow, clean filters, and properly charged refrigerant work together to maintain consistent temperatures while conserving energy, ultimately protecting both the environment and your wallet.

Extended System Lifespan

Preventative care addresses minor issues before they escalate, reducing wear on key components. Consistent inspections, cleaning, and adjustments prolong the life of compressors, fans, and other critical elements. Investing in maintenance protects your system, delaying costly replacements and ensuring long-term reliability for years of trouble-free operation.

Consistent Indoor Comfort

Well-maintained mini-splits provide reliable heating and cooling throughout the home or office. Regular servicing prevents uneven temperatures, airflow issues, and unexpected shutdowns. Consistent comfort enhances daily living conditions, ensuring that spaces remain welcoming and comfortable, no matter the season or external weather conditions.

Enhanced Air Quality

Preventative maintenance includes filter cleaning and coil care, reducing dust, allergens, and pollutants in indoor air. Cleaner air supports healthier living and working environments, which is particularly important for residents with allergies or respiratory concerns. Properly maintained systems help sustain cleaner, fresher, and safer indoor air quality.

Reduced Risk of Costly Repairs

Regular inspection allows early detection of potential problems before they become major repairs. Catching small leaks, electrical faults, or worn components prevents emergencies and expensive service calls. Preventative care provides peace of mind, minimizing unexpected expenses and maintaining continuous system operation.

Optimized System Performance

Regular maintenance ensures the system operates at peak performance, delivering efficient heating and cooling. All components—from fans to refrigerant lines—are inspected to confirm proper operation. Optimized performance improves efficiency, reduces noise, enhances responsiveness, and helps maintain consistent comfort throughout the system’s lifespan.
