I’ve always been really impressed with the ductless mini split unit that I have in my basement.
I was hesitant about having it installed in the first place because it wasn’t what I was used to for a heat and air source, but it came highly recommended.
I was used to having a single thermostat and a central HVAC system, but the ductless unit was slightly different. Instead of having ductwork and multiple air vents, there was one unit and one large air vent attached to the unit that produced both heat and air. Instead of a thermostat, there was a tiny remote that controlled the settings and a simple screen that displayed the temperature. When the ductless mini split unit was installed, I had no idea how it was going to heat and cool my basement, but it surprised me. Once I adjust the temperature on the ductless mini split unit via the remote, it doesn’t take long for the equipment to quickly begin producing air. Recently, I noticed that the ductless unit was really struggling to produce cool air and my basement was feeling warm. Knowing this, I turned off the unit and I looked for the air filter. Once located, I removed the air filter and washed it off. There was a ton of dust stuck to it and it was clogging up the entire unit. Once I replaced the air filter, I turned on the ductless unit again and kept an eye on it. Cleaning the air filter really improved the air quality and the overall function of my ductless mini split unit.
