Tips for Maintaining Your Mitsubishi Air Conditioning All Year Round
Regular maintenance is essential to maintaining the longevity, efficiency, and optimal performance of your Mitsubishi ductless mini-split system. Without proper care, your system can experience a range of issues that result in decreased functionality, higher energy consumption, and even premature failure.
Over time, dirt, dust, and debris can accumulate within the system, obstructing filters, coils, and other vital components. This buildup restricts airflow, reduces heat transfer efficiency, and forces the system to work harder to maintain the desired temperature. Consequently, the system’s ability to cool or heat effectively diminishes, and energy consumption increases, leading to greater wear and tear.
Failure to perform regular maintenance can also lead to more severe issues, including refrigerant leaks, compressor failure, and electrical malfunctions. These complications can result in costly repairs and, in extreme cases, require the replacement of the entire system. Just as you would routinely maintain a vehicle, regular maintenance is a crucial aspect of keeping your mini-split system operating at peak performance.
While basic tasks, such as cleaning filters or wiping down the indoor units, can be completed by homeowners, we strongly recommend scheduling professional maintenance at least once a year. At Benchmark our certified Mitsubishin HVAC technicians have the expertise, tools, and knowledge necessary to conduct a thorough inspection, perform cleaning tasks, and address any potential issues before they become more costly problems.
Don’t allow a poorly maintained mini-split system to disrupt your comfort. By prioritizing regular maintenance, you can ensure efficient operation, extend the life of your system, and avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Ductless AC Maintenance Tips
When it comes to your Mitsubishi air conditioning unit, timely and regular maintenance is the key to a long-lasting and efficient system.
Regular service visits by expert technicians from Benchmark can help you avoid costly repairs and ensure that your unit is running at its peak performance.
Here are some tips to keep your Mitsubishi air conditioning system working properly:
- Check the air filter
The user serviceable air filter is one of the most important components of your air conditioning system, as it helps keep the air in your home clean and free from pollutants. Make sure to check it and wash it at least once every 2 months. - Clean the outdoor unit
The outdoor unit of your Mitsubishi system is responsible for the transfer of heat to and from the outdoor air. Benchmark Service technicians will thoroughly clean the coils and cabinet of the outdoor unit. - Check the evaporator coils
Evaporator coils are responsible for pulling heat out of the air and are an important component to keep your system running smoothly. Our technicians will check them for signs of corrosion or dirt buildup and clean them as part of the maintenance. - Check the electrical supply
Our technicians will check and confirm that the supply voltages serving the system are correct. - Check the refrigerant levels
Refrigerants are responsible for heating and cooling the air in your home. We will check the refrigerant levels in your system to ensure that it is working properly. - Remove and clean the blower wheel
Our technicians will completely disassemble and clean the internal components of your Mitsubishi indoor unit to provide excellent performance from the system.
When Should You Service Your Mitsubishi AC System?
The frequency of the maintenance of your Mitsubishi air conditioner will depend on its usage and environment, but it’s generally advised to get at least an annual checkup by an experienced Mitsubishi service provider. Most HVAC technicans lack the tools and training to properly service Mitsubishi equipment. Incorrect actions by these providers may void your warranty.
The winter months are a good time to have your Mitsubishi air conditioner serviced.
There are also tell-tale signs that you need to have your Mitsubishi AC unit serviced. These include reduced air flow from the indoor unit, odd noises coming from the system, poor air quality, and if it is not heating or cooling your home as efficiently as it used to.
