How to Clean Mini Splits

Keep more cash in your pocket by routinely cleaning your mini-split air conditioning unit. This air conditioning system uses interior and exterior units attached in a specific room rather than a central unit that cools the entire home. Keeping your mini-split unit clean helps it perform more efficiently and last longer. Cleaning it is a user-friendly process that requires only the time involved to allow the filter to fully dry.
