Maintenance Tips

• Maintain at least 24 inches of clearance around the outdoor unit for proper airflow and efficient cooling.

• Clean the condenser coil regularly with low-pressure water to remove dirt and debris and maintain SEER2 15.2 efficiency.

• Replace or clean indoor air filters every 1–3 months to reduce strain on the compressor and maintain airflow.

• Inspect refrigerant lines and insulation for leaks, damage, or loose connections to ensure proper R‑32 operation.

• Check electrical connections and disconnect box for corrosion, wear, or loose wiring.

• Monitor unusual noises or vibrations from the compressor or fan motor as early signs of maintenance needs.

• Ensure the unit is level to prevent drainage issues and uneven cooling.

• Keep the cabinet and coil guards clean and intact to protect components and maintain airflow.

• Schedule annual professional HVAC service to inspect refrigerant levels, coils, and system controls.
