Janitrol air handler safety tips

• Conduct yearly maintenance. Have a HVAC service technician inspect, clean and perform required maintenance on your air handler annually. The service technician will examine the unit thoroughly for possible safety hazards such as worn components and shorts in the electrical system.
• Change the air filters regularly. The air filters remove contaminants from the air in your home. Use allergen air filters to remove dust and pollen that can cause breathing problems.
• Disconnect electrical power from the air handler anytime you perform maintenance or access internal wiring or components to complete repairs.
• Read and follow all operational and safety instructions in the owner's manual for your air handler.
• Have a service technician examine and repair the air handler whenever it fails and you're not able to fix the problem with simple troubleshooting steps described in the owner's manual.

Clearing a clogged condensate drain line in your Janitrol air handler

• Shut off the house circuit breakers for your air handler to disconnect electrical power.

• Use a plumber's snake to clear the drain line to the outside of your home.
• Pour water through the drain line to make sure it's clear.

• Pour one cup of liquid bleach through the drain line every six months to keep the drain line clear of algae.
