Maintenance Tips

• Clean the outdoor condenser coil regularly to remove dirt, leaves, and debris for optimal cooling efficiency.

• Maintain 2–3 feet of clearance around the unit for proper airflow.

• Replace or clean indoor air filters every 1–3 months to maintain airflow and system performance.

• Inspect refrigerant lines and insulation for damage or wear.

• Keep the condenser fan and top grille clear of debris to prevent airflow restriction.

• Check the condensate drain line periodically to prevent clogs and water buildup.

• Ensure thermostat is functioning properly and set for efficient cooling cycles.

• Listen for unusual noises such as rattling or buzzing that may indicate mechanical issues.

• After storms or strong winds, inspect the outdoor unit for debris or damage.

• Schedule annual professional HVAC maintenance to inspect refrigerant levels, electrical components, and overall system performance.
