How to Clean Your MRCOOL Mini Split with the MRCOOL Care Kit

Improved Energy Efficiency

One of the most significant benefits of cleaning your mini split regularly is increased energy efficiency. When dust and debris collect on the system’s evaporator and condenser coils, they block the flow of air and reduce the system’s ability to transfer heat. This forces the unit to work harder to reach the desired temperature, increasing energy consumption.

• Dirty Coils = Higher Energy Bills: The more dust that clogs the coils, the more energy the system uses, which directly affects your utility bills.
• Solution: The MRCOOL Care Kit comes with a foaming coil cleaner that breaks down dirt and debris without the need for manual scrubbing. By applying this cleaner regularly, you can keep the coils clean and ensure that your system operates at peak efficiency, reducing your energy bills.

Extended Lifespan of Your HVAC System

An unclean system is more likely to experience mechanical wear and tear. Components like the compressor, blower, and fans can become overworked when the system is dirty, causing early breakdowns and costly repairs. Proper care can extend the life of your unit by several years.

• Dust Buildup = Stress on Components: Over time, dust can clog up the fans and filters, making the system work harder and deteriorating parts faster.
• Solution: With the MRCOOL Care Kit, you’ll have everything you need, including a water collection bag and drain hose, to thoroughly clean the system without leaving a mess. This regular cleaning helps extend the life of your HVAC system and saves you money on premature replacements.

Better Indoor Air Quality

The quality of the air you breathe inside your home is directly affected by how clean your HVAC system is. Without regular cleaning, dust, mold, and allergens can accumulate in the system and get circulated through your home.

• Poor Air Quality = Health Issues: A dirty system can spread allergens, bacteria, and even mold spores, which can aggravate allergies, asthma, and other respiratory conditions.
• Solution: The MRCOOL Care Kit includes a new air-freshening filter that you can replace after cleaning the unit. This ensures that your system continues to circulate clean, fresh air throughout your home.

Consistent Temperature Control

When a mini split system is dirty, it struggles to maintain a consistent temperature. You might notice hot or cold spots in your home, or it may take longer to reach the desired temperature.

• Dirty Coils = Uneven Temperatures: Dirt buildup on the coils reduces their ability to absorb or release heat efficiently, causing uneven temperature distribution.
• Solution: Regular cleaning using the MRCOOL Care Kit’s foaming cleaner ensures that your system works effectively, distributing heat or cooling evenly across your space.

Prevention of Costly Repairs

Neglecting to clean your mini split system regularly can lead to clogs, leaks, or even complete system failure. These issues can result in expensive repairs or replacements.

• Neglected System = Costly Repairs: When dirt blocks the evaporator or condenser coils, the system could freeze up or leak, leading to damage that requires professional intervention.
• Solution: By using the MRCOOL Care Kit every six months, you can prevent these issues from occurring. The drain hose and pull-rod spray gun make it easy to clean hard-to-reach places, ensuring that your system remains free of blockages.
