These systems offer several advantages, including energy efficiency, ease of installation, and the ability to control the temperature in different rooms independently. Despite their benefits, regular maintenance is essential to keep them functioning optimally. The Importance of Regular Cleaning Just like any other heating and cooling system, ductless mini-splits require regular cleaning to ensure they operate efficiently. Over time, dust, dirt, and debris can accumulate on the filters, coils, and other components of the system.

In 1915, Mr. Carrier founded the Carrier Air Conditioning Company of America to promote his new invention. He began installing residential AC units in homes shortly thereafter although it wasn’t until 1933 that the company developed an air conditioner with the belt-driven condensing unit and mechanical controls that is now the standard model for AC units manufactured by a wide range of companies. Air Conditioning Goes Viral The installation of air conditioning units in homes in the 1920s is credited with encouraging large numbers of people to migrate from northern states to hotter southern states such as Texas, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, and Louisiana.
