Maintenance Tips

• Clean the Air Filters Regularly – Check the air filters every 1-3 months and clean them to ensure proper airflow. A dirty filter can reduce efficiency and lead to overheating. If the filters are excessively dirty or damaged, replace them.

• Inspect the Coils – Clean the evaporator and condenser coils annually. Dust and dirt buildup on the coils can reduce the system's efficiency and cause it to overheat. Use a vacuum or brush to clean them gently.

• Clear the Drain Line – Check the condensate drain line for blockages and ensure it is free-flowing. A clogged drain can lead to water damage, mold growth, or reduced cooling performance. Clean the drain line periodically.

• Examine the Heating Element – Inspect the electric heating element for signs of wear or damage. A malfunctioning element can affect the heating performance of your PTAC unit. If the element shows any damage, contact a professional to replace it.

• Test the Thermostat – Ensure that the thermostat is working properly by checking that the unit maintains the set temperature. If the thermostat seems inaccurate, it may need recalibration or replacement.

• Check for Refrigerant Leaks – If the cooling performance is reduced or the unit isn’t cooling effectively, have a technician check for refrigerant leaks. Low refrigerant can cause the PTAC unit to malfunction.

• Examine the Fan Blades – Check the fan blades for dirt, damage, or obstruction. Cleaning the fan blades helps maintain smooth operation and reduces wear on the motor. Replace any damaged blades.

• Clean the Exterior – Wipe down the exterior of the unit to remove dirt and dust. Keeping the exterior clean ensures proper ventilation and can improve the aesthetic of the unit.

• Look for Unusual Noises – Listen for any unusual sounds like rattling, buzzing, or squealing. If you hear these noises, there could be an issue with the motor, fan, or other components that need to be addressed by a technician.

• Power Off During Long Periods of Non-Use – If you're not going to use the PTAC for a prolonged period, such as during the off-season, turn the unit off to save energy and prevent unnecessary wear.
