Rental, Camp & Commercial Mini-Split Cleaning in Franklin
Electric utility: Eversource · Merrimack County
Franklin's rental stock is the story. Per 2020 ACS figures roughly a third of the city's vacant units are rentals, and the multi-families and duplexes downtown and above the falls are largely owned by landlords who converted from oil to mini-splits building by building. Each owns a dozen or more mini-splits spread across tenants who each assume someone else handles it. Tenants complain about a smell or weak air in July, the landlord fixes one mini-split, and the next complaint comes from the apartment next door. Doing every mini-split in a building on one visit, with a per-unit record, ends that cycle.
Webster Lake adds the short-term rental side. Camps around Griffin Beach and the city beaches rent by the week in summer, and the city's draft short-term rental ordinance from March 2026 has owners paying closer attention to the condition of what they rent. A mini-split cleaned on a turnover day before the season, coordinated with the cleaner, is cheap insurance against a review that mentions a musty smell.
Downtown, the restaurants, shops and offices on Central Street and around Odell Park, plus the businesses growing up around Mill City Park and the whitewater run, have mini-splits over customers all day and need cleaning before opening or after closing.
Franklin Tip
Franklin landlords: put the ground-floor units nearest the river and any apartment with a pellet stove first on the cleaning rotation, because those mini-splits load fastest and generate the July complaints.
Buildings, camps and storefronts: how the work is organized
Every mini-split gets the full teardown, coil and blower wheel flushed, drain cleared, sanitized and tested, and the property gets a plan. For a multi-family building that means an entry notice posted with you and a top-to-bottom order so each tenant is disturbed once. For a Webster Lake rental it means a turnover day, coordinated with your cleaner, with lockbox access so no guest walks in on it. For a Central Street business it means a start before the doors open.
Each mini-split is logged by building and unit with its condition, whether the drain was clear and what to watch, and the record goes to you the same day. Landlords with several buildings get one record per building, which is what you want on file when a tenant, an inspector or the city's short-term rental rules ask what was done and when. The first unit carries the trip at $199; the rest are $119 each.
A Franklin four-unit with four mini-splits on two compressors is $625 per visit, roughly $156 each. A Central Street storefront with two on one is $318. A landlord with three buildings pays the same structure as one with a single property: $199 then $119.

Common Questions in Franklin
I own three multi-family buildings in Franklin. How does this work across all of them?
We map every mini-split across the three buildings, schedule them on a rotation that fits your tenants, and keep one record per building with each unit's condition and drain status. The four-or-more rate applies across your property, and the next dates go on the calendar before the first visit ends.
Does a per-unit service record help with Franklin's short-term rental rules?
It helps with any question about the condition of what you rent. The record shows which mini-splits were cleaned, when, what was found and whether the drains were clear, which is the kind of documentation that answers a guest complaint, an insurance question or an inspection without argument.
Can you do a downtown Franklin restaurant without closing it?
Yes. We schedule before opening or after the last seating and work mini-split by mini-split, so a dining room with four or six mini-splits is done in a single early morning. Kitchen-adjacent mini-splits load with grease and are usually the worst; we note that in the record so the next cleaning is timed right.
