Climatronics recommends that system maintenance begins by establishing a schedule for periodic system reviews. These reviews should be conducted monthly and semi-annually. It may be useful after the system is first installed, to do some of the checks more frequently until the system operation is completely familiar.
Monthly site checks are reviews of the system to make sure that it is reporting reasonable data. Should this check indicate that there is a problem with the system, corrective maintenance should be performed.
Periodic maintenance is work to be performed every six months or more frequently should your operational experience indicate the need. This should keep your system operational and prevent non-scheduled outages.
