1. Clean & replace filters

Keeping PTAC unit filters clean is crucial to preserving the health of your units. Much like oil in a car, filters need to be changed every 3-6 months to prevent the unit from dying.

2. Clean room-side front cover

Remove and clean a unit’s front cover monthly to maintain unit longevity. Use a vacuum and mild cleaning agent to remove debris, but make sure everything is dry before powering the unit back on!

3. Check PTAC blower wheel

Ensure the unit’s blower wheel is free of debris! By maintaining a clean blower fan you can decrease the amount of energy your PTAC is using to stay powered. Try sliding a piece of cardboard in between the blower fan and unit opening to prevent debris build up.

4. Tidy indoor & outdoor coils

Much like your unit’s filters, coils must also be well maintained to increase the longevity of your unit. Coils should be replaced or cleaned every 1-2 years!

5. Complete seasonal check-ups

Staying on top of your seasonal check-ups is crucial to maintaining your unit’s health. The closer your PTAC unit is installed to the ground level, the more dust, dirt, and debris it will accumulate. Make sure to inspect ground and lower level units annually for maintenance.
