ABOUT YOUR HEAT PUMP SYSTEM
Identifying Your System
Your new Bryant heat pump system is what we call a "split

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 provided on the cover of this booklet.
