Maintenance Tips
-
Keep the Outdoor Unit Clear: Maintain at least 12–24 inches of clearance around the unit. Remove leaves, dirt, and debris to ensure proper airflow and heat transfer.
-
Clean the Condenser Coils: Periodically rinse the outdoor condenser coil with a gentle water spray to remove dust and buildup that can reduce efficiency.
-
Inspect for Ice or Blockages: Check for heavy frost, ice buildup, or obstructions that may affect heating performance or defrost cycles.
-
Check Filters in the Indoor Unit: Clean or replace air filters every 1–3 months to maintain airflow and prevent system strain.
-
Schedule Annual HVAC Service: Have a licensed technician inspect refrigerant levels, electrical components, and overall system performance at least once per year.
-
Maintain Proper Drainage: Ensure the condensate drain remains clear to prevent water leaks and mold buildup.
