Why Mini-Splits in Ashland Need Cleaning
Ashland is one of the few New Hampshire towns with its own electric utility. The Ashland Electric Department has served the village since 1903, roughly 1,400 meters off a single substation, and it is not one of the four NHSaves utilities, so most village mini-splits went in without a rebate or any follow-up. NH Electric Co-op covers the outlying roads, where the rebate installs from 2019 to 2024 are now due for a first teardown. The housing tells the rest. Mill-era houses and duplexes along Main Street and the streets near the old Packard mill have plaster dust, oil burners and a renter share near a third; a rental mini-split has usually never had its filter washed. At the Village at Riverbend, 104 condo units built in 1990 sit on the Pemi, and river fog settles on that bank most summer mornings. On Little Squam near the town beach, camps run dry mode all summer and close up wet. Wood heats about 7 percent of Ashland houses per Census figures, and the ash finds the coil.
Ashland Tip
If you are on Ashland Electric rather than NH Electric Co-op, you probably did not get a rebate when the mini-split went in, and nobody has inspected it since. Use the mill-village calendar instead: clean the mini-split in April before the river fog and pollen, and again before the wood stove starts in October if you burn.
