Air conditioners require maintenance. If your using a integrated heat pump system, you need to stay on top of the maintenance. The number one thing you need to do is change your filters.

In the summer:

* During the day, to keep heat out of your apartment, keep window shades or blinds down and closed. It’s even helpful to keep the windows themselves closed to keep hot air from blowing into your apartment.

* In the evening and early morning, open windows to allow cooler air in.

Factors to consider when choosing and installing air-source heat pumps:

• Select a heat pump with a demand-defrost control. This will minimize the defrost cycles, thereby reducing supplementary and heat pump energy use.
• If you’re adding a heat pump to an electric furnace, the heat pump coil should usually be placed on the cold (upstream) side of the furnace for greatest efficiency.
• Fans and compressors make noise. Locate the outdoor unit away from windows and adjacent buildings, and select a heat pump with an outdoor sound rating of 7.6 bels or lower. You can also reduce this noise by mounting the unit on a noise-absorbing base.
