What maintenance can I do myself? |

| With the proper maintenance and care,
your Carrier equipment will operate economically and dependably. There
are a few simple, routine maintenance operations you can do to help
ensure the best performance and comfort from your system.

Routine Maintenance Check the air filter in your furnace or fan coil every 3 to 4 weeks. A dirty filter will cause excessive strain on your furnace, air conditioner or heat pump. Replace your filter when necessary, or clean it if you have the reusable type. (If you have a reusable filter, make sure its completely dry before you reinstall it.) The prefilter and collection cells of an electronic air cleaner should be cleaned at least two or three times per year. Reminder; if you remove the front panels on your furnace while performing maintenance make sure that you replace the panels properly because on many modern furnaces there is a lower panel switch which will keep your furnace from operating if the lower panel is not replaced properly. Keep your outdoor condensing unit free of debris. Keep the outdoor condensing unit free of grass clippings, cottonwood seeds, leaves and dirt buildup. If the outdoor unit is blocked, the necessary air can not flow through for proper cooling operation and your air conditioning system will lose its efficiency.. If it becomes plugged you can wash it off with a garden hose, start at the top and wash at a slight angle downward to wash the debris off, Check the base pan (under the unit) occasionally and remove debris, to help the unit drain correctly. Make sure your outdoor unit stays in a level position. If the support for your split-system outdoor unit shifts or settles and the unit is no longer level, re-level it promptly to make sure moisture drains properly out of the unit. If you notice that water or ice collects beneath the unit, arrange for it to be drained away from the equipment. Inspect your furnaces combustion area and vent system before each heating season. If you find dirt, soot or rust, your system may not operate properly or at its peak efficiency. Call your servicing dealer and do not operate your furnace until it is professionally inspected and/or repaired. Clean your humidifier at the beginning of every heating season. Review your owners manual for the proper procedure to clean the external and internal components of your unit. The evaporator pad should also be replaced before each heating season. If the water in your area is hard or has high mineral content, you may need to clean or service your humidifier more frequently. Clean the core and air filters on a ventilator at least every three months. You can vacuum the core of an energy recovery ventilator as long as it is dry and the outdoor temperature is between 60 F (16 C) and 75 F (24 C). Heat recovery ventilator cores can be soaked for three hours in a solution of warm water and mild soap and then rinsed. Ventilator air filters are washable: just use a vacuum to remove the heaviest accumulation of dust and then wash them in lukewarm water. Replace them after they are completely dry. If you do not feel comfortable with doing your own maintenance
or you have additional questions, please give us a call, e-mail
or fax and we will gladly help you out or send out a technician
to assist you. |
