YOUR COMFORT
SYSTEM
Identifying Y our System
Take the time to get to know the type of
system you have. This will be useful in
understanding the basic operation of your
new heat pump.
The type of heat pump you have purchased is a split system. The split-system
type has an indoor and an outdoor unit,
each of which contains a coil. These units
are interconnected by refrigerant tubes,
as shown in Fig. 1.
Each unit has a rating plate affixed to it.
A rating plate provides necessary information for specific identification of a
unit. Y ou should familiarize yourself with
the product, model, and serial numbers
listed on each rating plate. Record them
for future reference on the last page of
this booklet.
IMPORTANT FACTS
T o better protect your investment and to
eliminate unnecessary service calls, familiarize yourself with the following facts:
Keep Filter Clean
•
Your heat pump system should ne v er be
operated without a clean air filter properly
installed. Plan to inspect the filter once per
month. A clogged air fi lter will increase
2
operating costs and shorten the life of the
unit.
Do Not Block Registers
•
Supply-air and return-air registers should
not be blocked. Drapes, furniture, and
toys are some of the items commonly
found obstructing registers. Restricted air flow lessens the unit’s efficiency and
shortens its life span.
Do Not Cover or Block
•
Outdoor Unit
The outdoor unit must have unrestricted
airflow. Do not cover the unit, lean an ything against it, or stand on it. Do not
allow grass clippings, leav es, or other
debris to accumulate around or on top of
the unit. Maintain a 12-in. minimum
clearance between the outdoor unit and
tall grass, vines, shrubs, etc.
Get T o Know Your Thermostat
•
Your multipurpose indoor thermostat is
the control center for your heat pump
system. You should familiarize yourself
with its proper operation. (See Fig. 2
and 3.) Attempting to control the system
by other means—for instance, switching the electrical supply power on and
off—may damage the unit.
During the heating season, never increase
the indoor thermostat setting more than
1- or 2-degree increments. If larger
adjustments are made, the supplementary
heating source will be turned on automatically . Needless use of the supplementary
heat reduces potential energy savings.
Continuous Fan
•
Y ou may fi nd that you can maintain greater personal comfort by running the fan
continuously . Air pockets can form due to
the structure of the house, placement of
registers, etc. These air pock ets may be
too cool or warm for your liking. Continuous fan operation minimizes any temper ature differences.

Air Cleaners and Humidifiers
•
Systems equipped with electronic or
mechanical air cleaners and/or humidifiers offer the added benefits of ha ving the
air continuously cleaned year-round, and
humidified during the winter season.
Ventilation
•
A system equipped with a heat or
energy recovery v entilator offers the
advantage of exhausting stale air from the
home and allowing fresh air in from the
outdoors while minimizing heat loss.

Zoning
•
Y our system may also be equipped with a
zoning system which allows indi vidual
control over the temperatures of separate
areas of your home.
Check Condensate Drain
•
Your heat pump will remov e humidity
from your home during the cooling season. After a fe w 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. Do not expect
to see much drainage if you live in a v ery
dry environment.

Heated Air Temperatur e
•
During the heating cycle, air from your
registers may seem cooler than you might
first expect because the air is being
delivered at a higher v elocity and a more
constant flow than air supplied by a conventional furnace. Also, your heat pump
supplies air at 90 to 105°F instead of in
sudden bursts of hot air as with a conventional furnace. The air may feel cool
because it is slightly less than your body
temperature. Howe ve r, it is sufficiently
warm to keep you comfortable.
