Maintenance Tips

• Replace or Clean Indoor Filters Regularly – Change filters every 1–3 months to maintain strong airflow and reduce strain on the condenser.

• Keep Outdoor Unit Clear of Debris – Trim grass, remove leaves, sticks, and vegetation around the condenser to ensure unobstructed airflow and efficient heat rejection.

• Clean Condenser Coils Annually – Dirt and dust on the copper/aluminum coils reduce efficiency; use a soft brush or gentle hose rinse, or have a pro clean coils yearly.

• Check Fan Blades & Components – Inspect fan blades for damage and clear any debris; ensure the condenser fan runs smoothly during cooling cycles.

• Inspect Refrigerant Lines & Connections – A technician should check R32 refrigerant levels and insulation to maintain optimal SEER2 cooling performance.

• Verify Electrical Connections Annually – Have a pro tighten connections and inspect capacitors and contactors to reduce risk of faults.

• Annual Professional Tune‑Up – Schedule a yearly HVAC service before cooling season to check pressures, electrical, and overall condenser health.
