ABOUT YOUR HEAT PUMP SYSTEM
Identifying Your System
Your new Bryant Heat Pump system is what we call a ”split system.”
It has an outdoor unit and an indoor unit connected to each other
with copper tubing called refrigerant lines. Each of these units has a
rating plate with the model and serial numbers you will need to
reference when calling an authorized Bryant dealer about your
system.
Take a few moments now to locate those numbers and record them
in the spaces provide on the cover of this booklet.
USING YOUR NEW BRYANT
SYSTEM
Your Bryant Heat Pump system is controlled by a wall--mounted
thermostat installed inside your home. Because there are so many
thermostats available, please refer to the owner’s manual supplied
with your thermostat for complete details on system operation. Or,
read the next section for basic operating instructions.
SYSTEM OPERATION WITH BASIC
THERMOSTAT
Most basic thermostats have three main controls:
S
System or Mode Control:
Typically offers the following
selections: Cool, Off, and Heat. Some thermostats also have
Auto, which lets the system switch between heating and cooling
as needed.
S
Temperature Control
: A button, lever, or set of buttons that
allows you to select the temperature inside your home.
S
Fan Control
: Typically offers two options: Auto and On.
”Auto” provides slightly higher energy efficiency by circulating
air only during cooling (or heating) operation. ”On” provides
better air circulation, better dehumidification and better air
cleaning by running the system’s blower continuously.
HEATING YOUR HOME
For heating operation, make sure the System or Mode control is set
for Heating. Then, adjust the Temperature control to your desired
setting. Finally, use the Fan control to select Automatic (turns on
and off as heating is needed) or On (runs continuously).
Depending on your typical heating needs, your home comfort
system may also include a supplementary heating source that will
automatically turn on as needed. You may also select this heat
source manually if desired.
COOLING YOUR HOME
For cooling operation, make sure the System or Mode control is set
for Cooling. Then, adjust the Temperature control to your desired
setting. Finally, use the Fan control to select Automatic (turns on
and off as cooling is needed) or On (runs continuously).
