Proper maintenance for maximum efficiency A central air conditioner is not a household appliance. It’s a self-contained system that requires professional maintenance and repair. That’s why attempts at “do-it-yourself” repairs on an in-warranty unit may void the remainder of your warranty.

Filters are available from your dealer. Where disposable filters are used, they must be replaced every month with the same size as originally supplied.

Anything that blocks the air flow, causes the compressor to work harder to move the warm air out of your house. To avoid overworking your unit, do not plant flowers or shrubbery right next to it.
