To Get the Most From Your Equipment
may seem cool but it is also
moisture-laden. This increases
the work your system must do
the next day.
6. Don’t block supply and
return registers with furniture
or drapes. — Don’t let shrubs,
vines, or fences block air
intake and/or discharge on
condenser unit outside. Don’t
put a lamp, TV or radio too
near your thermostat.
7. Don’t try to operate unit if
there is any indication of a
malfunction. — Turn the
system “OFF” at the
thermostat immediately, and
call your serviceman.
Indications of malfunction
include: no cooling, short
cycling of compressor or
motors, and unusual system
noises.
1. Do use filters — Clean or
replace filters monthly. (Note:
turn off all electrical power to
unit and turn thermostat to OFF

Follow a Few Basic Rules:
1. Don’t be a “thermostat
jiggler.” — Set the thermostat
at the desired temperature and
forget it. Frequent changing
upsets temperature and
humidity control and may
increase operating cost.
2. Don’t set the thermostat too
low for cooling or too high for
heating. — The greater the
difference between the
outdoor and indoor
temperature — the greater the
operating cost.
3. Don’t turn the system off just
because you’ll be away for a
day or two. — It takes quite a
while to restore comfort — but
costs relatively little to maintain.
4. Don’t be concerned if your
air conditioning unit operates
after sundown. — Heat stored
in the roof and walls is still
there. On exceptionally hot
days, expect your unit to work
more.
5. Don’t open windows after
dark. — The summer night air
