Important - Please read our disclaimer and the following safety procedures before you attempt any maintenance work yourself.

1) Please be sure to disconnect all electrical power to the unit before you remove any of the access panels or attempt to perform any maintenance procedures. Always remember that there may be more than one power connection switch. If you are unsure about this do not attempt to perform any procedure. Instead get a professional to assist you.

2) Be very careful when you handle parts or reach into units. Many of the metal parts and housings have very sharp edges which can cause severe injury.

3) Follow all safety precautions suggested by the manufacturer of the equipment.

4) Use common sense. If something seems dangerous don't do it. Instead consult a professional.

Now that we have warned you of what to look out for let's move on.

Routing maintenance of your Humidifier System.

1) Humidifiers should be cleaned at the beginning of every heating season. If the water in your area is hard or has a high mineral content you will probably need to clean your humidifier more often. Look in your owner's manual for the correct procedure for cleaning the components of your humidifying unit.

2) The evaporator pad should be replaced before each winter season. Check your owner's manual for the proper procedure.

3) Routinely have a professional contractor perform maintenance on your humidifier to keep your unit running smoothly and efficiently for many years to come. To save money consider purchasing a maintenance agreement for your heating and air conditioning system. Many plans include pre-season maintenance twice a year and cost about $140 to $250. A plan will help the contractor find problems before they lead to a breakdown and will help save you money by keeping your electric bills lower.
