Split systems as much as any household appliances, need regular maintenance and cleaning. This process is quite scrupulous and complicated, therefore, it is best to entrust it to qualified specialists. How do you know if your A/C needs cleaning? Despite all the benefits the split system has, it is capable of accumulating pollution. In the absence of regular cleaning, dust mites, mold, mildew may appear inside. The main signs that you need to clean your household air conditioner are:

• an unpleasant smell of damp immediately after starting indicates a malfunction of the drainage system or dust deposits inside;
• an increase in electricity consumption and a drop in power during operation;
• strange humming noise indicates that the outer casing or fan blades are getting dirty;
• condensate leakage;

If you notice at least one sign, then it is recommended not to postpone the process. The sooner the air conditioner is cleaned, the less the risk of breakage of the split system.
