Changing air direction

Tabs

Saving energy

There are many things you can do to help save energy.
• Improve your home's insulation. Seal doors and
windows. Close fireplace flue.
• Close blinds or drapes on the sunny side of your
house. Add awnings.
• Make sure drapes or furniture do not block airflow
from your air conditioner.
• Turn lights and appliances off when they are not
needed.

Normal operating sounds

When your air conditioner is operating normally, you may hear sounds such as:
• Droplets of water hitting the condenser, causing a
"pinging" or "clicking" sound. The water droplets
help cool the condenser.
• Air movement from the fan.
• Clicks from the thermostat cycle.

The louvers in the top of the front panel
allow you to control the direction of the
cooled air. Use the tabs to direct the air
up, down, right, left, or straight ahead.
• Ventilate your attic. High temperatures in the attic
add to the air conditioner's cooling load.
• Try not to use heat-producing appliances during the
hottest part of the day.
• Keep heat registers and cool-air returns closed.
• Use exhaust vent fans while cooking, doing laundry,
or bathing.
• Vibrations or noise due to poor wall or window
construction.
• A high-pitched hum or pulsating noise caused by
the modern high-efficiency compressor cycling on
and off.
