A/C had been out for a couple days. Heat index 105° , 90 ° in house. I called 15 + HVAC companies and the earliest appointment time anybody could come was a week away. I called Barneys . He shot me straight and told me " I'll get you up and going today but it's going to be in the evening." He showed up about 7 pm which is perfectly fine as it was hot. He fixed the problem in 15 mins ( needed refrigerant ) He charged a very fair price. He stands by his word. LIFESAVER!! VERY COOL NOW!!!

First time (in this house) getting our heat pump inspected. Technician was detailed in explaining what was both good & bad about our 12 year-old system. He explained that our system was still functional but also showed us a part that might fail in the future. He tested the part in our presence & gave us a fair price for replacement (which we did). We were comfortable enough with the service that we are likely to purchase a service/maintenance agreement this Fall.

Most Common Mini Split Maintenance Questions

Proper maintenance is key to getting the long life and high efficiency you expect from a ductless mini split system. Because they are different from traditional central HVAC systems, homeowners often have specific questions about what kind of care they need. Understanding the maintenance process helps you protect your investment.

The most important maintenance task a homeowner can and must do for their mini split system is to regularly clean the filters. Each indoor unit has a reusable mesh filter that is designed to be easily removed and cleaned. You should check these filters at least once a month. To clean them, simply lift the front panel of the indoor unit, unclip the filter, and wash it gently in your sink with lukewarm water. You can use a mild soap if needed. It is crucial to let the filter air dry completely before putting it back in the unit. Never operate the system without the filter in place.

Another simple task is to keep the outdoor unit clear of any obstructions. Make sure that you maintain at least two feet of clear space around the condenser. This means regularly trimming back any plants, bushes, or weeds that might grow up around it. You should also prevent leaves, grass clippings, and snow from piling up against the unit, as this can block airflow and reduce efficiency. You can use a garden hose with a gentle spray to rinse any loose dirt or cottonwood fluff off the exterior fins of the outdoor coil, but be careful not to use high pressure, which could bend them.

Finally, you should pay attention to your system’s operation. Be aware of any changes in its performance, such as reduced cooling or heating, or any new or unusual noises. Also, check the condensate drain line outlet on the exterior of your home periodically to make sure you see it dripping water when the unit is in cooling mode. This indicates it is draining properly. By performing these simple tasks, you can play a significant role in keeping your mini split system running smoothly between professional service visits.

A bad smell coming from your mini split is a common issue that almost always points to a need for a deep professional cleaning. The most frequent cause is the growth of mold and mildew on the unit’s indoor coil and blower wheel. The inside of the unit is dark, damp, and full of dust particles that act as a food source for microbial growth. When you turn the unit on, it blows air over these contaminated surfaces, distributing a musty, “dirty sock” smell throughout your room. This not only smells unpleasant but can also negatively impact your indoor air quality and trigger allergies.

Another potential cause of a bad smell is a clogged condensate drain line. If the line that is supposed to carry moisture away from the unit gets blocked with sludge or algae, water can stagnate in the drain pan inside the unit. This stagnant water provides an ideal breeding ground for bacteria and mold, which will produce a foul, swampy odor. This is another problem that can be prevented and resolved with a professional maintenance visit, during which we thoroughly flush and clean the entire drainage system.

While less common, a burning smell is a much more serious issue that indicates an electrical problem. It could be an overheating motor, a melting wire, or a problem with the control board. If you ever smell a burning or electrical odor coming from your mini split, you should turn it off at the circuit breaker immediately and call for emergency service. Do not continue to operate the unit. For any persistent bad smells, a professional deep cleaning from Barney’s Heating and Air is the most effective solution to restore fresh, clean air to your home.

For optimal performance and longevity, a ductless mini split system should be professionally serviced at least once a year. While a heat pump that runs year round is typically serviced twice a year, the maintenance for a mini split is so comprehensive that a single, thorough annual visit is often sufficient for our climate in Clarksville. This annual tune up is crucial for performing the deep cleaning and technical checks that a homeowner cannot do themselves. It is the best way to keep your high efficiency system running at its peak and to catch any small problems before they become big ones.

The best time to schedule your annual maintenance is typically in the spring, before the heavy cooling season begins. This allows the technician to thoroughly clean the system after its winter use and prepare it for the demands of summer. A spring service ensures your system will cool efficiently and that the condensate drain is clear to handle the summer humidity. However, a fall service is also a good option to prepare the system for the heating season. The most important thing is to be consistent and have it professionally serviced every year.

There are some situations where you might consider more frequent service. If you live in a home with pets or smokers, or if someone in your household has significant allergies or respiratory issues, you may benefit from having the indoor units professionally cleaned twice a year. This will help to maintain the best possible indoor air quality. Additionally, if your system is operating in a particularly dusty environment, more frequent service may be necessary to keep the coils and blower wheels clean and operating efficiently.

A professional mini split cleaning is a very thorough and detailed process that goes far beyond what a homeowner can do. When our technician arrives, they will first lay down protective coverings to ensure your home stays clean. They will then carefully disassemble the plastic casing of the indoor unit to get full access to the internal components. The main targets for cleaning are the evaporator coil and the cylindrical blower wheel, which is where the most stubborn dirt and microbial growth accumulates. These are the components responsible for the common “dirty sock” smell.

To clean these parts, we often use a special “wash bib.” This is a waterproof shroud that we fit around the indoor unit to contain the cleaning process. We then use a low pressure water sprayer and a specialized, non acidic, and coil safe cleaning solution to deep clean the evaporator coil and the blower wheel. This process flushes all the accumulated dirt, dust, mold, and grime out of the unit and into a bucket via the wash bib. This method is incredibly effective at restoring the unit to a like new condition, improving both airflow and air quality.

After the deep cleaning, we also thoroughly clean and sanitize the drain pan and flush the condensate line to ensure it is completely clear. We then reassemble the unit, clean the exterior casing, and check the system’s operation. This deep cleaning process is the core of our professional maintenance service and is something that simply cannot be replicated with spray cans or brushes. It is the only way to truly eliminate the source of odors and restore your system’s performance.

Yes, regular maintenance can absolutely help your mini split system maintain its whisper quiet operation. One of the main reasons a mini split might start to get noisier is a buildup of dirt and dust on the indoor unit’s blower wheel. The blower wheel is a cylindrical fan that is very precisely balanced. When it gets caked with an uneven layer of grime, it can become unbalanced. This imbalance will cause a rattling or vibrating noise as the wheel spins, which can be quite noticeable and annoying. Our deep cleaning process restores the blower wheel’s balance, eliminating this source of noise.

Another potential source of noise is a dirty or clogged filter. If the filter is severely clogged, it can restrict airflow and cause the fan motor to work harder. This can sometimes create a whistling or whining sound as the air is forced through the small available openings. By keeping your filters clean and having the system professionally serviced, you ensure that the airflow is smooth and unrestricted, which contributes to quiet operation.

During our maintenance visit, we also check for any loose components or panels that could be causing a rattling sound. We ensure that both the indoor and outdoor units are securely mounted. A loose mounting bracket or a vibrating refrigerant line can also be a source of noise. By inspecting and tightening all connections and components, we can help to eliminate these extraneous sounds and ensure your system continues to run as quietly as it was designed to.

Yes, virtually all HVAC equipment manufacturers, including all major mini split brands, require proof of regular professional maintenance to keep the warranty valid. Your mini split system comes with a manufacturer’s parts warranty, which is typically for 5 to 12 years, depending on the brand and model. This warranty covers the cost of a replacement part if it fails due to a manufacturing defect. However, this warranty is almost always contingent on the homeowner properly maintaining the equipment.

If a major component, like the compressor or an inverter board, fails, the manufacturer has the right to ask for service records from a licensed HVAC contractor. If you cannot provide proof that the system has been regularly and professionally maintained, they can deny the warranty claim. They can argue that the failure was not due to a defect, but rather due to neglect, which is not covered by the warranty. This could leave you responsible for the full, and often very high, cost of the replacement part.

By having Barney’s Heating and Air perform your annual maintenance, you are not only keeping your system running efficiently, but you are also protecting your warranty. We keep detailed digital records of all the service we perform on your equipment. In the event of a warranty claim, we can easily provide the necessary documentation to the manufacturer to ensure your claim is approved. This is one of the most important, yet often overlooked, benefits of investing in a professional maintenance plan.
