BEFORE YOU CALL A SERVICEMAN
Let your serviceman check your system at the
start of each air conditioning season. He will
make sure it's working right, clean or change
filters and make any needed adjustments.
In addition, follow these simple rules:
1. Never run your system without filter. If you
do, the cooling coils will get dirty and may
become clogged.
2. Set your thermostat at the comfort level you
wish -- and then leave it alone. Let it control
the operation of the air conditioning system.
If you get chilly, turn it up a degree at a time
until comfort is restored.
3. It takes longer for an air conditioner to cool
your dwelling than it does for your furnace
to heat it. So... don't turn the unit on and
expect a dramatic drop in temperature, at
least not right away. If your home is hot and
humid, the temperature will drop slowly.
4. Check your filters every ten days in summer
to see if they are dirty. To keep them clean,
use a mild solution of detergent and water
on washable types. Replace non washable
filters.
5. Keep your outdoor condenser coil clean.
You can hose it down when it gets dirty.
ff your air conditioner isn't working:
1. Make sure the fuses are not blown or that
your circuit breakers are on.
2. Seethatyourthermostatissetatthedesired
temperature and that your system's switch
is on "Cool."
3. For free air flow, make sure your return
register is not covered and that the filter is
clean.
4. Checkthe outdoor condenser coil and make
sure it is clean and not clogged with grass
or leaves.
If your air conditioner still isn't working, call your
nearest distributor.
