The rated capacity of the HVAC system designed for your home was designed to ensure that your home could be heated or cooled to a comfortable temperature, taking into account climatic conditions common to this area. Poor performance of the air conditioner may be an indicator of a low freon charge or a frozen coil. Ambient temperatures must be approximately 4 0 degrees to obtain a full freon charge. Homes completed late in the year during cold weather may require the HVAC trade partner to return in the spring to perform a full freon charge. If the air conditioner ceases to cool, a coil may be frozen. In this instance, turn system to "OFF" and the fan to "ON" and allow to run until thawed. Follow up service may be required from the HVAC trade partner. For service requests, please refer to your Homebuyer Homepage to locate the HVAC trade partner and contact them directly.

Should you encounter any operation difficulties the following checks should be made: should be replaced a minimum of FOUR TIMES PER YEAR. A dirty filter will restrict the air flow over the coils of the air conditioning unit and can contribute to icing of the coils. This will cause failure of the air conditioner.

Check your circuit breaker. Check the thermostat. Switch to "heat" or "cool" and set blower to "on" or "auto." Check that the furnace filter is clean. If heating or cooling distribution is unsatisfactory, check each room's ceiling register for proper opening position and adjust accordingly.
