Maintenance Tips

• Clean the Outdoor Condenser Coil: Remove dirt, leaves, and debris regularly to maintain efficient heat transfer and optimal cooling.

• Maintain Clearance Around Unit: Keep at least 2–3 ft of space around both condenser and air handler for proper airflow.

• Inspect Refrigerant Lines: Check liquid and suction lines for insulation damage or leaks to prevent efficiency loss.

• Rinse Fins Gently: Use a garden hose to clean condenser fins without bending them.

• Check Electrical Connections: Ensure wiring, disconnects, and capacitors are secure and corrosion-free.

• Monitor Performance & Noise: Normal operation is quiet; unusual noises or reduced cooling may indicate service is needed.

• Schedule Annual Professional Service: A licensed HVAC technician should inspect the compressor, fan motors, refrigerant charge, and system pressures yearly.
