Questions and answers
Why is it necessary to match the AVZC180601 Heat Pump with its proper Air Handler
It is necessary to match the Amana AVZC18 Series Heat Pump with its proper air handler to ensure correct equipment communication, compatibility of shared data like model and serial numbers, and proper system operation. Incorrect matching may require a memory card to load proper data and could affect performance and features such as heating airflow and accessory operation.
