Maintain unit per manufacturer’s specifications. 3. Replace and keep filters clean 1. Cooling system is designed to maintain an indoor temperature of 75oF. The temperature is measured in the center of each room at a height of 5' above the floor (under local outdoor summer design conditions as specified in ASHRAE handbook). If the temperature outside is above 87oF, cooling system must be able to maintain an inside temperature that is 15o below the outside temperature. Federal, state, or local energy requirements take precedence. We will repair the cooling system so that is provides the required temperature (1 year). Clogged condensation drain lines 1. Condensation drain line may clog under normal use. You should keep these clear. Prior to using the cooling system each season, check condensation lines to ensure the drain lines are clear. 1.
