Frequently Asked Questions

Ideally, you should have your mini split system deep-cleaned at least bi-annually. While most companies will clean your system during routine maintenance, it doesn’t take the place of deep cleaning that will get rid of mold and microbial contamination.

Mini splits are more popular than ever today because they make your home feel great and they don’t use a lot of energy. That makes them a considerable improvement over central air, which often leaves some rooms warmer than others.

And, they’re way better than energy-guzzling window units or portable ACs.

But, they do require more attention than conventional units. For most homeowners, it’s a small tradeoff for excellent comfort and lower energy bills.

Today, most homeowners already know to change or clean filters and get a tune-up. But, mini splits also require deep cleaning.

That’s because it’s very easy for mold and other microbial contaminants to build up inside the air handlers and even on the heat pump outside.

The result? Lousy air quality that makes you feel crummy and triggers asthma, allergy, and COPD symptoms. Hot and cold spots in your home because the system can’t work as well.

And higher electric bills as your ductless system tries to work despite being gummed up.

But, the solution is simple! With We Clean Mini Splits LLC, a  cleaning at least twice a year gives you the peace of mind that your home is comfortable and your air is healthy.

It’s very easy — and very common — for mini splits to get mold in them. Mold requires dark, damp, and warm places to grow. The inside of the air handlers meets all of those requirements. And, it’s not easy to clean them thoroughly, even for most HVAC professionals.

The challenge comes with getting all the way inside the unit. During a tune-up or routine maintenance, a good HVAC tech cleans the filter, the inside and outside of the casing, and some of the fins.

But, those fins are very delicate, and there are grooves in between them. There’s also a lot of room for mold and microbial growth behind and in other parts of the unit.

At best, a tech using regular cleaning tools would have to manually and carefully scrub each groove to remove buildup. It would take hours and cost you a bundle.

Even then, they can’t get to contaminants beyond that without taking apart the air handler. Which, of course, would mean a lot more time and money.

That’s where We Clean Mini Splits LLC comes in.

We Clean Mini Splits LLC is focused on just one thing: Deep-cleaning mini split systems to make them run great, use as little energy as possible, and help keep your indoor air quality at a safe, healthy level.

As a result, we’re able to do what conventional heating and cooling companies can’t.

 Our equipment is designed  to quickly reach every nook and cranny in your air handlers and heat pump. And, our cleaning solution eradicates microbial growths, bacteria, mold, and more without using any dangerous chemicals.

A mini split can last you 15 years or more with the proper care and maintenance. They can also last for a much shorter amount of time (even as little as a decade) without regular service.

That’s a big part of the reason why cleanings are so important. When your air handlers are clogged, the whole system must work harder to maintain the temperature you want. That means extra wear and tear on all the moving parts.

Without the proper care, you’ll start noticing hot and cold spots in your house. You’ll also need repairs more often. You’ll also pay more on your electric bill.

And, of course, you’ll start noticing those indoor air quality issues. The worst-case scenario is toxic mold syndrome. But, things don’t have to be that bad for you to start having allergy- or asthma-like symptoms.

Yes, we offer one-time cleaning services for events, move-in/move-out cleaning, and more.
