How much does mini split cleaning cost in Miami?
+
Mini split deep cleaning in Miami typically costs $150–$350 per indoor unit, depending on the level of contamination and unit accessibility. Multi-unit discounts are available — most homeowners with 2–4 units pay $250–$600 total. We provide free estimates so you know the exact cost before any work begins. Factors that affect pricing include the amount of mold or buildup, unit location (ceiling-mounted units take longer), and whether drain line repair is needed.
How often should I clean my mini split in Florida?
+
In South Florida’s high-humidity climate, we recommend a professional deep cleaning every 12–18 months. Mini splits in coastal areas like Miami Beach, Aventura, or Key Biscayne may need cleaning every 12 months due to salt air and higher humidity. Homes with pets, smokers, or heavy cooking odors may also benefit from more frequent cleanings. Between professional cleanings, you should rinse your filters every 2–4 weeks.
What brands of mini splits do you service?
+
We service all major mini split brands including Mitsubishi, Daikin, Fujitsu, LG, Samsung, Carrier, Gree, Pioneer, MRCOOL, Senville, Klimaire, Cooper & Hunter, and more. Our technicians are experienced with both residential and commercial ductless systems. Whether you have a single-zone wall unit in a condo or a multi-zone system in a home, we have the tools and expertise to deep clean it properly.
What does a mini split deep clean include?
+
Our mini split deep cleaning includes: removal of the front cover, filters, and louvers; application of HVAC-grade coil cleaner to the evaporator coil; high-pressure rinse of coil fins using a specialized low-pressure pump; cleaning of the blower wheel and fan barrel; flushing the condensate drain line; sanitizing interior components; cleaning and reinstalling all covers and filters; and testing airflow, temperature, and operation. The entire process takes 45–90 minutes per unit.
Can a dirty mini split make you sick?
+
Yes. A dirty mini split can harbor mold, bacteria, and dust mites that are blown directly into your living space every time the unit runs. Common health effects include allergy flare-ups, respiratory irritation, headaches, coughing, and what’s known as “dirty sock syndrome” — a musty or foul smell caused by biological growth on the evaporator coil. In Florida’s humid climate, mold can colonize mini split components in as little as a few weeks if the unit isn’t maintained.
Is mini split cleaning different from regular AC maintenance?
+
Yes. Mini splits require a different cleaning approach than central AC systems. Because ductless units blow air directly from the indoor unit into your room (no ductwork to filter through), any contamination on the coils or blower wheel goes straight into your breathing air. The deep cleaning process involves specialized tools, catchment bags to contain water and debris, and HVAC-grade coil cleaners — it’s not something you can do effectively with a household spray bottle. Our technicians are trained specifically on ductless systems.
Do you also repair and install mini splits?
+
Yes. In addition to cleaning, we offer full mini split
repair and new installation services. Common repairs include refrigerant leaks, compressor issues, fan motor replacement, control board repair, and drainage problems. For new installations, we handle everything from sizing and placement to electrical work and commissioning. We install all major brands and offer free estimates for both repairs and new installations. Call
(305) 607-3244 for details.
Can I clean my mini split myself?
+
You can and should clean your mini split filters yourself every 2–4 weeks — just rinse them with water and let them dry. However, a full deep cleaning of the evaporator coil, blower wheel, and drain system requires professional tools, HVAC-grade cleaners, and experience. DIY coil sprays from the hardware store don’t rinse properly and can leave residue that attracts more mold. Improper cleaning can also push debris deeper into the drain line, causing clogs and water damage.
Do you service mini splits in condos and commercial buildings?
+
Absolutely. Condos are actually our most common mini split cleaning jobs — especially high-rise buildings in Brickell, Aventura, Miami Beach, and Sunny Isles that use ductless systems as their primary cooling. We also service mini splits in offices, restaurants, retail spaces, yoga studios, and server rooms. For commercial accounts with multiple units, we offer maintenance contracts with scheduled cleanings. Contact us for multi-unit and commercial pricing.
What are the signs my mini split needs cleaning?
+
The most common signs include: musty or foul smell when the unit runs (dirty sock syndrome), visible mold or dark buildup on the vents or inside the unit, reduced airflow or weak cooling, water leaking from the indoor unit (clogged drain), unusual noises like rattling or humming, higher-than-normal electric bills, and allergy symptoms that worsen when the AC is running. If you notice any of these, it’s time for a professional deep clean.
