VIII. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

1.Be sure the filter is clean. Inspect every 30 days of operation; if obstructed, clean or replace filter at once. DO NOT RUN WITH-

OUT A FILTER.

2.Always let the thermostat control the opera- tion of the system. Never try to "second guess" the thermostat, or tamPer with it. Jus[ s_=tthe thermostat at the comfort level desired AND LEAVE IT ALONE. If it gets too chilly, just turn the thermostat up a degree at a time until the desired level is achieved. Don'tturn the thermostat back and forth.

3.Heat pumps cannot cool off a house as fast as a furnace heats it. It pulls the tempera- ture down slowly. Therefore, do not turn on and expect immediate action. It may take a day or so to pull down a hot, moist house when the unit is first installed, especially after it has been =soaked" in 100-110 ° ambient for days.

4.Keep both the evaporator and condenser coil surfaces clean. Accumulation of dirt will

restrict the air flow and reduce the perform- ance of your unit.

5.Keep condensate drain lines clear and clean. All blower fan motors are factory lubricated and require no attention. The compressor is hermetically sealed, requir- ing no attention.

6.Your new heat pump is mounted outdoors. It is good practice to treat itjust as you would your automobile if it was exposed to the elements constantly; an occasional coat of wax will give added protection against the elements.

7.Your new heat pump compressor is equipped with a Permanent Split Capacitor

motor. Therefore, ALWAYS WAIT AT LEAST THREE MINUTES AFTER SHUT- TING UNIT OFF BEFORE TRYING TO RE-

START. If the unit is started before the refrigerant pressures have a chance to bal- ance, the compressor motor may trip on its overload, or, in very rare cases, blow a fuse.

Under any normal operation, this will not happen. It is most likely to happen if a

thermostat is chattering, or if the uoit is started too quickly. Do not be alarmed ifthis

happens. Just let the pressures balance out and then start the unit.

. It is a good practice when there is a power outage, especially during severe thunder storms, to switch off yotJr_nit at the thermo- stat until the electrical power has been per- manently restored. This could prolong the life of your compressor.

IMPORTANT - READ CAREFULLY

oYour new heat pump may contain a special compressorwarming electricalcircuitto keep the compressorwarm during longoff periods. Do not be alarmed if this creates a light "humming" sound while the unit is not running. The "hum" may or may not occur.

Whenever the power has been discon- nected from the unit for longer than twelve hours, be sure to turn the power"back on twelve hours before starting the unit. This will give the compressor warming circuit a chance to operate and protect the compres- sor from damage.

HOW TO GET THE MAXIMUM PLEASURE FROM YOUR HEAT PUMP

In order that you may fully enjoy the comfort your Heat Pump can bring you, an understand- ing of the basic principles involved are outlined in the following paragraphs.

HEATING LOAD

The air temperature rise through a heat pump on the heating cycle is not as great as that through a fuel fired furnace. The supply air coming into the room may be only 12 to 26, degrees warmer than the room air. Therefore "hot and cold" spots are not evident in Heat

Pump installations as they are in fuel fired heating systems.

Heat Pump specifications

Goetti Air Conditioning Heat Pump systems represent a significant advancement in climate control technology, offering efficient heating and cooling solutions for residential and commercial properties. These innovative systems are designed to provide year-round comfort while maximizing energy efficiency and minimizing environmental impact.

One of the main features of Goetti heat pumps is their advanced inverter technology. This system allows for variable speed operation, meaning the pump can adjust its output to match the heating or cooling needs of a space more precisely. This results in significant energy savings, as the system can operate at lower speeds most of the time, consuming less power while maintaining a constant temperature.

Moreover, Goetti heat pumps utilize eco-friendly refrigerants that adhere to the latest environmental regulations. This commitment to sustainability not only helps reduce the carbon footprint of the system but also ensures that users are compliant with existing and future environmental standards. The use of these refrigerants contributes to the overall efficiency of the unit, as they improve heat transfer and reduce energy consumption.

Another characteristic of Goetti heat pumps is their exceptional durability and reliability. Constructed from high-quality materials, these systems are designed to withstand various weather conditions, ensuring optimal performance even in extreme temperatures. The robust design not only extends the lifespan of the heat pump but also reduces maintenance costs, as fewer repairs are needed over time.

Goetti offers heat pumps in a range of sizes and capacities, making it easy for consumers to find the perfect fit for their specific needs. Additionally, many models come equipped with smart technology, allowing for remote operation and monitoring through mobile applications. This feature enables users to optimize their energy usage, set schedules, and ensure that their comfort needs are always met, regardless of their location.

The noise level of Goetti heat pumps is also commendable. With advanced noise reduction technologies, these systems operate quietly, ensuring a peaceful indoor environment. This aspect is particularly beneficial for residential applications, where noise can be a significant concern.

In summary, Goetti Air Conditioning Heat Pump systems are a testament to innovation in climate control technology. With their advanced inverter technology, eco-friendly refrigerants, robust construction, and smart features, they offer a reliable and efficient solution for heating and cooling needs. Emphasizing sustainability, performance, and user convenience, Goetti continues to lead the way in creating comfortable living and working environments.
