Reliable HVAC Care in the Upstate

Ductless Heat Pump (Mini-split) Maintenance & Tune-Ups

Ductless heat pumps, also known as mini-splits, are incredibly efficient — but they need regular care to stay that way. Because they run year-round and rely on small indoor units, they can quickly lose efficiency if filters and coils aren't cleaned on schedule.

Why It Matters

Why Ductless Heat Pump Maintenance Matters

Mini-splits are efficient and flexible, but because they rely on small wall-mounted units, they're more vulnerable to dirt, dust, and moisture than traditional systems. Without regular cleaning and tune-ups, performance can drop quickly.

Here are the most common risks we prevent with regular ductless heat pump maintenance:

Clogged Filters & Poor Airflow

Small reusable filters clog quickly, reducing efficiency and airflow.

Dirty Coils & Reduced Efficiency

Dust and pollen stick to indoor coils, forcing the unit to work harder.

Mold & Mildew Growth

Humidity in South Carolina can cause mold buildup inside indoor heads, reducing air quality.

Refrigerant & Line Issues

Leaks or kinks in small refrigerant lines reduce performance and cooling power.

Routine maintenance keeps your mini-splits efficient, safe, and delivering clean air all year long.

We're proud to serve homeowners across Greenwood, Anderson, Abbeville, Laurens, and McCormick Counties. Here's what real customers had to say about their experience with 5 Lakes Heating & Air.

Extremely prompt and very helpful on the phone to troubleshoot before coming out. Ready available parts and he was very thorough in cleaning and checking to make sure everything else was in order with my HVAC unit. I highly recommend using Justin.

AC Diagnostic & Repair

So grateful for Justin. We had a refrigerant leak in our AC unit and as a result, had no cool air for a day. I contacted Justin and he was very prompt to come out the evening of the same day that I called him. We have a newborn and knowing that, he made sure to get us taken care of ASAP. I had contacted another company the day before, but Justin beat their price significantly for the repair. Thank you! Will gladly use 5 Lakes again!
