The short answer
$150–$400
Ductless units have no filter rack protecting the coil. The blower wheel and evaporator get cleaned by hand, and that is most of the labour.

What moves the price
It is priced per head
Each indoor unit is its own cleaning job. Two heads is not the same visit as one, so multi-zone systems cost more.
How dirty it has got
A head cleaned every year is quick. One that has run five seasons untouched needs a deep blower-wheel clean and sometimes a full pull-down.
Musty smell means more work
Biofilm in the blower wheel and drain pan is the usual cause of the smell. Clearing it properly is deeper than a normal service.
Access
A head over a stairwell or on a high wall takes longer to protect, clean and reassemble than one at chest height.
The smell is the coil, not the air.
A ductless head that smells musty needs cleaning, not air freshener. Book it — exact price upfront.

Quick answers
Why is it more than a furnace tune-up?
Because it is a cleaning job, not an inspection. A ducted system has a big filter in front of the coil; a mini split has a thin mesh screen, so dirt reaches the blower wheel and has to be washed off by hand.
How often do mini splits need it?
Once a year for a normal home. Sooner if anyone in the house has pets, or if the head has started to smell.
Can I just wash the filters myself?
Yes, and you should — every month or two. That keeps the head running but does not reach the blower wheel or the coil behind it, which is what the service visit is for.
