Yes. Infrequent servicing can cause dust accumualation on the fan barrel and evaporator coil (accessible only by qualified technicians), slowing air volume over the coil and resulting in unnecessary condensation and potentially the growth of mould in the system.

Unlike the ducted system, the split system is primarily designed to air condition only one room.
