It is suggested that Heating and Air Conditioning equipment be serviced at least once a year. The best situation is to have your heating system checked sometime in the Fall and your air conditioning system checked in the early Spring. If you have oil-fired equipment should absolutely be serviced and cleaned annually; preferably at the beginning of each heating season.

Keeping up with the routine maintenance of your electronic air cleaner is vital to ensure the unit’s proper performance and efficiency. First, you’ll want to turn off your air conditioning and heating system. Then go ahead and turn off the power to the Electronic Air Cleaner and make sure the power is off.

Then wait for about 30 seconds and remove the access door. Gently remove the cells and the pre-filters, then replace the access door to remain closed while cleaning. Next visually inspect the cells and pre-filters. If they are dirty, then they are now ready to be cleaned.

We recommend that you use a garden hose with good water pressure. On the filter you should notice an arrow indicating the unit’s airflow direction. First, you need to spray off the filter from the opposite side of the arrow. Then again from the other side. You can repeat this process several times if it is needed. If the filter is extremely dirty, spray it with a detergent first and let soak for a several minutes. Then thoroughly spray the unit off with water.

Just be careful not to use too much water pressure or damage may be done to the filter media. When the water runs clear and the filter looks to be clean, simply shake off all excess water and return it to the system.

As the name implies, it should only used in emergency situations. This is used when you notice that there is something wrong with first-stage heating [the actual Heat Pump itself]. In other words, if you notice your house is way too cold and it isn’t heating properly and when you went outside you discovered that a tree fell and crushed your heat pump, that would be a good time to switch to your Emergency Heat.
