Air Cleaners and
Humidifiers
Systems equipped with electronic or
mechanical air cleaners and/or humidifi-

air continuously cleaned year-round, and
humidified during the winter season.
Ventilation
A system equipped with a heat or
energy recovery ventilator offers the
advantage of exhausting stale air from the
home and allowing fresh air in from the
outdoors while minimizing heat loss.
Zoning
Your system may also be equipped with a
zoning system which allows individual
control over the temperatures of separate
areas of your home.
Check Condensate Drain
Your air conditioner will remove humid-

season. After a few minutes of operation,
you should be able to see water trickle
from the condensate drain of the cooling
coil. Check this occasionally to be sure the
drain system is not clogged. Of course,
don’t expect to see much drainage if you
live in a very dry environment.
When Not To Use Your Unit

temperatures are below 55°F.
