DUCTLESS MINI-SPLIT INSTALLATION

We don't just blast the line with water and hope for the best. Our process is designed to actually fix the problem and reduce the chance of it coming back.

Inspection of the ductless system and Pan
We start at the air handler. We check the primary ductless pan, the auxiliary pan, the float switch, and the line itself for damage, slope issues, and signs of long-term water exposure.

Locating the Clog
We trace the line from the air handler to its outdoor termination point and identify where the blockage is sitting. Some clogs are right at the trap, others are deeper in the line.

Mechanical Clearing
For most clogs we use a wet/dry shop vacuum at the outdoor termination point to pull the blockage out and restore flow. For tougher clogs we'll use compressed air or a small hand auger from the access port near the air handler.

Flushing and Treatment
Once the line is clear, we flush it with a cleaning solution that breaks down remaining algae and biofilm. We follow up with a treatment that helps prevent regrowth between visits.

Pan and Float Switch Check
We clean out the ductless pan, test the float switch to make sure your safety shutoff is working, and inspect the area for any moisture damage that needs attention.

Final Test
We pour water through the line and watch the flow at the outdoor termination point to confirm full ductlessage. We also restart the system and verify the AC is cycling and cooling properly.

Once we've cleared the line, there are a few simple steps to keep it that way.

Routine Treatment
Pouring a small amount of distilled white vinegar into the ductless system access port every couple of months helps prevent algae growth. We can show you exactly where to pour it during your service visit.

Annual Professional Cleaning
A yearly professional ductless mini-split installation catches early buildup before it becomes a clog and includes a full check of the pan, float switch, and surrounding components.

Maintenance Agreements
If you want to take this off your plate entirely, our maintenance agreement covers ductless mini-split installation along with the rest of your seasonal AC tune-up. One scheduled visit, no surprise leaks.

Watch the Signs
The earlier you catch a slow ductless, the smaller and cheaper the fix. If you ever spot water around the air handler or notice a musty smell from the vents, give us a call before it turns into something bigger.
