Here are several tips to help you keep your system running at its most efficient level:
- Keep your thermostat at a constant temperature; the recommended temperature is 78º, even when no one is home.
- Change your filters every month. Have the unit serviced every spring by a licensed service company.
- Check the outside condensing unit regularly for any grass clippings or leaves stuck to the coil. If it is dirty:
- Disconnect the power at the circuit breaker FIRST!
- Use a shop-vac with a brush attachment to vacuum off the debris.
- Run water from a garden hose through the coil until the water passing through it is clear.
- Turn the power back on.
- Have the unit serviced every spring by a licensed service company.
