Maintenance Tips

• Keep Outdoor Coil Clean – Regularly remove leaves, grass, and dirt from the condenser fins and wash gently with a hose (inside‑out) to maintain efficiency; avoid pressure washers that can bend fins.

• Maintain Proper Airflow Around Unit – Ensure at least ~18–24″ clearance at sides and ~36″ in front so airflow isn’t restricted.

• Check Electrical Connections Annually – Inspect contactor, capacitor and wiring for loose or corroded connections that can reduce performance or cause failures.

• Clear Drainage and Pad Area – Make sure the unit base is level and that water drains away from the pad to avoid corrosion and flooding around the condenser.

• Inspect Refrigerant Lines – Ensure R32 refrigerant lines are properly insulated and leak‑free; low charge reduces heating/cooling effectiveness.

• Annual HVAC Professional Service – Have a licensed technician check refrigerant levels, clean coils, test defrost operation, and verify the heat pump’s SEER2 performance
