Ductless heating and cooling systems offer energy savings and comfort zoning for your Tallahassee, FL home. In order to make the most of your ductless HVAC equipment, you need to properly care for it. Read on to learn about what you can do to take care of the system between regular heating and cooling maintenance visits from our NATE-certified technicians.

Clean the Air Filters

Ductless heating and cooling systems are up to 30% more energy-efficient compared to ducted systems, explains the Department of Energy. In order to enjoy the greatest amount of energy savings, it’s important to clean each indoor unit’s air filter. Once each month, remove the filter and clean it according to the manufacturer’s specifications. If anyone in your household has allergies or if your household includes furry pets, consider cleaning the filter more frequently.

Give the Units Ample Clearance

Each indoor unit and the outdoor unit of the ductless HVAC equipment needs at least three feet of clearance for optimal airflow. Keep bookcases, shelves, curtains, furniture, and boxes away from the indoor units. Trim overgrown shrubs or tree branches so they’re away from the outdoor unit. Keep the lawn mowed and clear any debris that accumulates on or around the metal housing.

Clean the Outdoor Unit

Once each month, turn off the ductless HVAC equipment’s power so that you can clean the outdoor unit. Dust, dirt, bird droppings, and other debris can settle on the unit, inhibiting its ability to exchange heat with the outdoor air. Use your garden hose to rinse the metal housing. Set the hose nozzle to the lowest water pressure setting. If you see sticky buildup, such as tree sap, use a soft brush or microfiber cloth and biodegradable dish soap to clean it.

Our air conditioning unit decided to break down one morning. We called High Quality at 4am and by 11am it was fixed! Great responsiveness and as always fixed with no complaints. They are the best!

I scheduled a maintenance check up and Randall came out to check my A/C unit. He was so professional and punctual. He explained everything to me as he performed the maintenance. He wore a face covering which made me feel like he had my safety and his own in mind. I will use this company every year. Thanks Randall.

The issue was repaired timely and with great customer service.

High Quality Heat and Air was highly recommended to us when we knew we needed to replace our air conditioning system. We are very glad we contacted them. Marty met with us and went over our options, gave us good advice, an honest proposal and ordered our equipment without delay. His professional crew installed the unit efficiently without any inconvenience to us. This is one good company in my opinion.
