tips_air_condAn air conditioning system will provide you with year-round comfort if you follow the simple maintenance steps listed in the manufacturer’s literature. The thermostat in your home will have a temperature selector and two switches marked HEAT/OFF/COOL and FAN-ON/FAN AUTO. Set the thermostat to the desired setting, the operation switch to COOL, and the fan switch to FAN AUTO. When the temperature goes above the thermostat setting, the thermostat sensor will activate the unit and the fan will automatically turn on. When the desired temperature is reached, the fan will automatically shut off. To conserve energy, and to make your air conditioner more efficient, keep the windows and doors tightly closed. If you have windows that are exposed to direct sunlight, close the drapes. The grill of the air intake on the outdoor unit should be kept clear of any debris or the proper air flow will be restricted. New filters should be installed in your unit or, in the case of permanent filters, cleaned, at least four times per year, or according to the manufacturer’s written instructions. Service Notice: It is recommended that you check the operation of your air conditioning unit in late Spring. An early check of the system’s operation will provide time to have the situation corrected before the warmer summer season begins. Before Calling for Service:: If the System Doesn’t Cool:
Special Caution: If your air conditioner should stop operating due to a power failure or an overloaded circuit, extreme caution should be exercised. Do not recycle or reset the unit for at least 20 minutes.
