Schedule OnlineImportance of Maintenance
Ductless mini split systems are known for their efficiency, zoning flexibility, and quiet performance. But even the most advanced system needs regular attention to stay efficient. Over time, dust buildup, minor wear, or a blocked filter can quietly impact your system’s ability to perform.
Routine maintenance not only keeps your mini split running its best, but it also protects your indoor air quality and helps prevent costly breakdowns. Nobody wants to deal with a sudden system failure during a New Jersey heatwave or a cold snap. A little care now can help you avoid stress later. Arctic Air provides dependable mini-split services designed to keep your system working like it should: quietly, efficiently, and year-round.
How Often Should Ductless Systems Be Maintained
In most homes, a ductless mini split should be professionally maintained at least once a year. But in New Jersey, where these systems often work year-round for both cooling and heating, a twice-yearly service schedule is a smart choice. Spring and fall tune-ups help prepare your system for the seasonal shifts ahead. Alongside professional service, simple monthly tasks like checking or cleaning filters can make a real difference. These small steps help maintain airflow, reduce strain, and support better performance between visits.
Maintenance Process
When you schedule mini split maintenance with Arctic Air, our technicians arrive ready to care for every detail. Here’s what our service typically includes:
- Cleaning or replacing air filters
- Inspecting indoor and outdoor components
- Checking refrigerant levels and looking for leaks
- Cleaning coils and fan blades

Each step is designed to improve efficiency, reduce the risk of breakdowns, and keep your ductless mini split running the way it should. Our technicians are trained to work with a wide range of models and bring years of hands-on experience to every appointment.
Troubleshooting Tips
While some issues need a technician’s touch, there are a few simple things you can check at home before calling for service:
- Verify thermostat or remote settings. Make sure your system is set to the correct mode and temperature.
- Clean or check the filters. Clogged filters restrict airflow and reduce performance.
- Clear the outdoor unit. Leaves, snow, or debris can block airflow and reduce efficiency.
- Listen for strange noises. Buzzing or rattling may point to a loose part or obstruction.
- Check for error codes. Many systems display codes that can help pinpoint the problem.
