Maintenance Tips

• Clean air filter monthly: Remove and rinse or vacuum to maintain strong airflow and prevent coil clogging. Dirty filters can cut efficiency by up to ~30%.
• Keep evaporator & condenser coils clean: Inspect seasonally; dust buildup reduces cooling/heating performance and increases energy use.
• Check and clear drain pan: Ensure condensate drains freely to avoid water leaks, mold, and internal corrosion.
• Inspect airflow path: Do not block front grille or return air—restricted airflow strains compressor and reduces BTU output.
• Clean R32 system gently (no harsh chemicals): Protect refrigerant system components and maintain efficiency.
• Test 3.5 kW heater before winter: Confirm proper heating output and no tripped safety switches.
• Verify 20A plug & wiring annually: Look for heat damage or loose connections to avoid electrical faults.
• Check unit leveling & sleeve seal: Proper installation prevents water leakage and improves efficiency.
• Schedule yearly professional service: Ensures refrigerant performance, fan motor health, and long-term reliability.
