Parts information
Replacement parts are available from your local

packages reduce the potential cost of service calls
following the first year of operation on your cooling, or
heating and cooling, system.
Some efficiency dos and do nots
• Do not constantly adjust the thermostat. Adjusting
your thermostat setting does not make your system
cool any faster. Set your thermostat to a comfortable
setting and only adjust it when required.
• Do not restrict air circulation. Placing furniture, rugs,
and other obstacles where they interfere with air
vents makes your system work harder to achieve a
comfortable temperature level. This requires more
energy, which means greater energy costs.
• Do not locate lamps or other heat-producing
appliances such as radios, TVs, or heaters near your
thermostat. The heat from these items gives your
thermostat false information about the temperature
in the room.
• Do select a comfortable thermostat setting, but keep
in mind that moderation in temperature selection
saves energy.
• Do turn on your kitchen exhaust fan when cooking
and your bathroom exhaust fan when showering.
Also, make sure your clothes dryer is properly
vented. If these items are neglected, excess heat
and humidity may be created, causing your air
conditioning system to run longer.

Do set your thermostat a few degrees lower than
•
normal several hours before entertaining a large
group of people in a relatively small area. People
give off a considerable amount of heat and moisture
in a closed area.
Do keep drapes and venetian blinds closed when
•
practical. These items provide insulation against
heat loss or gain.
• Do contact a qualified service person to make
repairs or adjustments to your system.
