How to Install a Mini-Split Air Conditioner
Keep the Air Clean
Remove debris from the unit
Over time, things like leaves, dirt, and grass clippings will build upon the outside of your air conditioner, decreasing system capacity, and reducing airflow. It would help if you trimmed any shrubs or other plants back from around the air conditioner to prevent impeding airflow to and from the unit.
