Maintenance Tips
-
Annual heat exchanger check: Inspect the TCORE2® aluminized steel heat exchanger for soot, cracks, or corrosion — crucial for efficiency (~83 % AFUE) and safety.
-
Clean burner & ignition components: Remove dust/debris from burner tubes; clean ignitor and flame sensor to ensure reliable ignition and proper flame quality.
-
Clear venting & combustion air paths: Ensure power‑vent flue and intake are free of obstructions to avoid backdrafting and maintain proper combustion.
-
Fan, blower & motor care: Clean fan blades, guard, and motor housing; check for imbalance or noise — good airflow prevents overheating and inefficiency.
-
Check electrical & gas connections: Tighten wiring, verify 115 V power integrity, and confirm propane supply and fittings are secure.
-
Monitor LED/diagnostics: Use status LEDs or fault codes to catch issues early before they become failures.
-
Keep unit exterior clean: Dust and debris around the heater reduce airflow and increase wear — wipe down regularly.
-
Professional annual service: A qualified HVAC tech should inspect valves, pressure switch, controls, and perform combustion analysis for peak performance.
