Maintenance Tips

• Regularly Clean the Air Filters – Check the air filters every 1-3 months and clean them thoroughly. Dirty filters can obstruct airflow, causing the unit to work harder and reducing energy efficiency. Replace filters if they are damaged or excessively dirty.

• Inspect Coils and Clean Annually – Keep both the evaporator and condenser coils clean to ensure efficient heat exchange. Dirt and dust buildup can cause the unit to overheat or reduce cooling capacity. Use a vacuum with a soft brush attachment or a coil cleaner.

• Clear the Condensate Drain – Ensure the condensate drain is clear of debris and functioning correctly. Blockages can lead to water pooling inside the unit, which may cause rusting, mold, or reduced performance. Flush out the drain line with water as needed.

• Check the Heating Element – Inspect the electric heating element regularly for any signs of wear or damage. If you notice any issues like strange smells, erratic heating, or unusual noises, it might be time to have the element inspected and replaced by a professional.

• Test the Thermostat – Confirm that the thermostat is working correctly and maintaining the desired temperature. If you find the unit either overheats or underperforms, the thermostat might need recalibration or replacement.

• Inspect the Fan and Motor – Regularly check the fan blades for dirt, obstructions, or damage. Clean them and ensure the fan motor is operating smoothly. If you hear strange noises or experience poor airflow, consider checking the motor for any issues.

• Examine the Unit for Leaks – Check for any signs of refrigerant leaks or water pooling around the unit, as this can indicate a problem with the refrigerant circuit or the drainage system. Call a technician if you notice any issues.

• Exterior Cleaning – Keep the exterior of the unit clean and free of dust or debris. A clean unit not only looks better but also functions more efficiently, ensuring good airflow and optimal performance.

• Inspect Electrical Connections – Check the power cord and electrical connections for any signs of wear or fraying. If you notice any exposed wires or electrical issues, it’s essential to have them addressed immediately to prevent safety hazards.

• Off-Season Storage – If you plan to leave the unit unused for an extended period, turn it off and clean it thoroughly. Store the unit in a dry area to prevent dust and debris from building up while it’s not in use.
