Many outdoor units include a crankcase heater. This small heater warms the oil in the compressor for im- proved lubrication. Once the needed temperature has been reached, most of these heaters will shut off automatically.

These heaters work effectively, but not rapidly. If your outdoor unit has a crankcase heater and the power has been disconnected from your outdoor unit for more than two hours, you must connect electrical power to the outdoor unit for at least four hours before setting the thermostat so as to cause the unit to come on.

Not all outdoor units have crankcase heaters. If you are not certain whether yours does or not, contact your dealer.

If your outdoor air conditioning (not heat pump) unit does have a crankcase heater, you may wish to shut it off in the fall after cooling season is completely over. To do this, simply open the disconnect switch which is near the outdoor unit, or turn the proper circuit breaker at the electrical panel to the OFF position. This could save you a small amount of your winter electrical bills. If you choose to do this, remember - a four hour warm-up period with the electrical power connected is necessary before running the air conditioner again in the spring. If you forget this warm-up period, you run the risk of severe equipment damage.

Your comfort system uses R-22 as a refrigerant. R-22 has been used as a refrigerant for many years. It is classified as an HCFC (Hydrochlorofluorocarbons).

Recent evidence suggests that HCFCs, when released into the atmosphere, play a role in the thinning of the earth’s ozone layer. Therefore, the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency, a branch of the U.S. Federal Gov- ernment) is beginning to implement new regulations regarding the purchase, handling, and use of HCFCs including R-22. Some of these regulations may increase the cost of installation and service work on air condition- ing and refrigeration equipment.

When your comfort system is operating properly, the refrigerant is contained within airtight passages. No refrigerant escapes into the atmosphere during normal operation.

When repair or replacement of your comfort system becomes necessary, it is essential that you hire a qualified servicer to perform the work. A qualified servicer will have the tools and training necessary to ensure that EPA regulations are followed. U.S. residents who ignore or intentionally violate the EPA regulations are in violation of the law, and may be subject to fines or other penalties.

Most of your questions can be answered by your local dealer. Check with your dealer first if you need further informa- tion regarding the operation, maintenance, or service of your unit. If you have other matters that cannot be resolved locally, or you need additional information regarding other heating and cooling products offered by us - please call:
