Routine Maintenance

Simple, routine maintenance as described below will enhance your Heat Pump system’s ability to operate economically and dependably. Always remember the following safety precautions:

WARNING:

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Failure to follow this warning could result in personal injury or death.

Disconnect all electrical power to the indoor air handler or furnace before removing access panels to perform any maintenance. Disconnect power to both the indoor and outdoor units (see Fig. 1.)

Note:There may be more than one electrical disconnect switch.

CAUTION:

PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PRODUCT AND PROPERTY DAMAGE HAZARD

Failure to follow this caution may result in personal injury or product and property damage.

Although special care has been taken to minimize sharp edges in the construction of your unit, be extremely careful when handling parts or reaching into the unit.

INDOOR UNIT (Furnace or Fan Coil)

SCheck the Air Filter Monthly

There are no filters on your outdoor unit. However, a dirty air filter on the indoor unit can cause overheating, automatic system shutdown, and in extreme cases, component failure.

CHECK THE FILTER(S) MONTHLY AND CLEAN OR REPLACE AS NEEDED. For details on how to check, clean or replace your filter(s), refer to your furnace or fan coil owner’s manual. OR, if you have an electronic air cleaner or a larger, ”boxed” air filter, refer to the owners manual supplied with those products.

SCoil Cleaning

Your indoor coil is located in a sealed cabinet on your indoor unit and will require minimal cleaning with routine filter maintenance. Longer operating cycles and reduced energy efficiency may indicate the need for a coil cleaning by your Bryant dealer.

OUTDOOR UNIT

SCoil Cleaning

The most visible part of the outdoor unit is the large ”coil” wrapped around the inner components of the Heat Pump. If grass clippings, leaves, shrubbery, and debris are kept away from the coil, minimal care is needed. If the coil becomes dirty, clean the coil surface with a vacuum cleaner using a soft brush attachment. Use an up and down motion being careful not to bend or damage the delicate, aluminum coil fins. If dirt is deep in the coil, contact your dealer for service.

SBase Pan Drainage

Periodically check for and remove debris that has settled around the base of your outdoor unit. This will ensure proper drainage of the base pan and eliminate standing water inside the outdoor unit.

SLevel Installation

Your Bryant dealer will install the outdoor unit in a level position. If the support base settles or shifts and the unit is no longer level, be sure to re-level it promptly to assure proper drainage. If you notice water or ice collecting beneath the unit, arrange for it to be drained away from the unit.

SEA COAST COIL MAINTENANCE

Coastal locations often require additional maintenance of the outdoor unit due to highly corrosive airborne ocean salt. Although your new Bryant system is made of galvanized metal and is protected by top-grade paint, take the additional precaution of periodically washing all exposed surfaces and the outdoor coil approximately every 3 months. Consult your installing Bryant dealer for proper cleaning intervals and procedures for your geographic area or ask about a service contract for regularly scheduled professional cleaning and inspections.

One of the standout features of Bryant Central Air Conditioning Systems is their high SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) ratings. Many models boast SEER ratings of 16 or higher, which translates to lower energy bills and a reduced environmental footprint. This efficiency not only helps in cooling the home effectively but also minimizes the impact on energy resources.

The use of advanced technologies sets Bryant apart from many competitors. For instance, Bryant employs the use of variable-speed compressors that adjust the cooling output based on the actual cooling needs of the home. This technology allows for quieter operation and improved humidity control, providing homeowners with a more comfortable indoor environment. Moreover, variable-speed operation helps to reduce energy consumption during low-demand periods significantly.

Durability is another hallmark of Bryant Air Conditioning Systems.
